| Summary / Abstract (Note) | With the end of the Cold War, the subsequent global war on terror, the global economic recession, and wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, one would think that the United States would have formulated a grand strategy for dealing with these problems. This, however, is not the case. This article advances a grand strategy of "restrainment," as a guiding concept for our approach to international politics. It builds from the principle that U.S. policy must seek to restrain-individually and collectively-those forces, ideas, and movements in international politics that create instability, crises, and war. |
