Description
The Great Delusion: Liberal Dreams and International Realities Renowned international-relations scholar John Mearsheimer argues that the United States' policy of spreading liberal democracy and remaking the world in its image is doomed to fail. This systematic tour de force challenges the widely-held belief that the US should promote liberal values and institutions globally, and instead presents a compelling case for a more restrained foreign policy based on a sound understanding of nationalism and realism. Mearsheimer contends that the US's current approach has led to a highly militarized state fighting wars that undermine peace, harm human rights, and threaten liberal values at home. In contrast, a more measured approach would be more effective in achieving US foreign policy goals. This major statement is a worthwhile read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of American foreign policy. A lucid and compelling work, The Great Delusion is a crucial contribution to the field of international relations, offering a fresh perspective on the challenges facing the US in its pursuit of global influence.
