In an age when anti-communist alliance-building can no longer be the basis of America's foreign policy choice, what overreaching goal can act as the guiding principle? Arguing that America should progress beyond an inventory accounting of US interests abroad, this book proposes a vital new role for American leadership in the struggle for a stable world order through the promotion of co-operative security relations, economic multilateralism, and a new domestic social contract. The book concludes that America will not succeed in firmly defending its post-Cold War international interests until it comes to grips again with who it is and what it ought to become as a nation.
