Features: After the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the entire United States was extremely excited, hoping to enjoy the "peace dividend" brought by the post-Cold War era and enter the 21st century with an overwhelming global advantage. Against this backdrop, American foreign policy entered a new phase. Over the 16 years of governance by three administrations and four U.S. presidents—George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush—American foreign policy underwent numerous storms and changes, from George H.W. Bush's "containment-out" strategy to Bill Clinton's "expansion strategy" to George W. Bush's counterterrorism strategy. Based on objective descriptions and rational analysis, this book explores American foreign policy in the post-Cold War era.
