In this timely, thoughtful, and readable book, America's most famous diplomatist explains why we urgently need a new and coherent foreign policy. Dr. Henry Kissinger covers the wide range of problems facing the United States at the beginning of a new millennium and a new presidency, with particular attention to such hot spots as Vladimir Putin's Russian, the new China, the globalized economy, and the demand for humanitarian intervention. In seven accessible chapters, Does America Need a Foreign Policy? provides a crystalline assessment of how the United States' ascendancy as the world's dominant presence in the twentieth century may be effectively reconciled with the urgent need in the twenty-first century to achieve a bold new world order.
