American Foreign Policy
American Foreign Policy by John Zeugner, published by Wipf & Stock Publishers on April 21, 2022, is a thought-provoking exploration of American international relations through the lens of personal narratives. This edition, comprising 156 pages, presents a unique approach to understanding complex themes such as deterrence, containment, and asymmetrical warfare by weaving them into the lives of typical Americans navigating pandemic times.
Readers will find that the book attempts to illustrate the “themes” or “frames” of American foreign policy through storytelling, reflecting on the experiences of individuals in a rapidly changing world. The narrative is complemented by an afterword from Liv Wells, a former U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission, which adds context to the discussions presented. This work engages with subjects like political and religious dimensions within a futuristic setting, inviting readers to consider the implications of foreign policy in everyday life.
Official synopsis Publisher
Thomas Ausa, an obscure but adequately credentialed professor of American International Relations, at the end of his career imagined he might best illustrate what he called the “themes” or “frames” or “buzzwords” of American foreign policy by telling a few stories about typical Americans living through these pandemic times in ways he hoped would illustrate terms like “deterrence,” “containment,” “asymmetrical warfare,” and “mutual assured destruction.” The novel fragment he left attempts to do that. Whether he succeeded only future readers, if any, will tell. The afterword by Liv Wells, former U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission at several American embassies, doesn’t help much.
