Features: The collection "Liberalism and U.S. Foreign Policy" compiles a series of essays written by scholars from various cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing, and Guangzhou. Like any anthology with a clear and "tight" theme, the evident "soul" or fundamental outline of "Liberalism and U.S. Foreign Policy" is the theme proposed by the organizers: "Liberalism and U.S. Foreign Policy." This is a topic of significant theoretical and practical value that warrants focused discussion, especially because in recent years, the political culture/ideology of neoconservatism, the power politics approach to international relations, and the foreign policy doctrines of unilateralism/militarism have gained prominence in the United States, causing the attention and research efforts of both domestic and international academic circles to overwhelmingly focus on one side while somewhat excessively "neglecting" the other. As a result (at least from a practical perspective), it has becomely apparent that certain shifts and developments in U.S. political and foreign policy discourse have emerged and are currently underway, even if it is assumed that they will not undergo fundamental changes in the foreseeable future.
