摘要
The Bush Doctrine is dead! At least that's what critics hope. But while new U.S. national security challenges emerge, many post-9/11 threats still persist and the policies of George W. Bush offer one set of strategic answers for how President Obama can confront those dangers. Neither a polemic nor a whitewash, this book provides a careful analysis of the Bush Doctrine--its development, application, and rationale--and assesses its legacy: How will Obama respond to the many foreign policy challenges that await him?
Through an examination of psychology as much as policy, Renshon gives us the first comparative analysis of the Bush Doctrine and the developing Obama Doctrine. The book analyzes the range of national security issues Obama will face and the political divisions that permeate U.S. national security debates.nbsp;It is essential reading for anyone looking to understand how presidents assess security risks generally and how Obama specifically is likely to adapt the Bush Doctrine to his own worldview.

Renshon (CCNY Graduate Center) examines the worldviews that informed and the post-9/11 reality that gave rise to the Bush Doctrine. He argues that President Obama will likely be forced to adapt the doctrine to his own worldview. In the first chapter, the author explores the Obama administration's liberal policy premises and the "core national security dilemma" of a world in which these ideas are not shared. The question remains: to what extent "will [Obama] make use of, modify, or discard" elements of the Bush Doctrine in light of the world he inherited. Chapter 2 analyzes Bush's assertive realism and selective multilateralism, including its emphasis on democratization. Renshon then explores critiques and parses through the myths of the doctrine. Chapter 5 examines the "New Calculus of Risk" related to US vulnerability. The next two chapters discuss deterring, containing, and bargaining with hostile regimes, then turns to a discussion of addressing threats through force. Chapter 8 analyzes the strategic options of the Bush administration and the ways politics plays into risk assessment. The final chapters return to a discussion of the chasm in worldviews in the foreign policy dialogue and the dilemmas President Obama confronts. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections. E. A. Turpen Booz Allen Hamilton
