Practical Lessons from US Foreign Policy

The book explores how the Trump administration's foreign policy diverges from established international norms that have supported American leadership. Through a collection of essays, a diplomat and historian argue that Trump's approach amplifies existing unilateral tendencies in previous administrations while neglecting key principles of collective security, regional integration, and diplomatic creativity. They emphasize the potential for correction by drawing on lessons from recent history, suggesting that a return to collaborative strategies is still possible.
