It also offers an assessment of the foreign policy records of the Clinton and the two Bush administrations. It examines how America struggled to find a defining role in the decade after the Cold War and then assesses the revolution in US foreign and security policy brought about as a result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

It then considers the priorities of US foreign policy including: - Terrorism - Rogue states - The promotion of democracy - Trade - The Middle East - Europe - Asia It also contains an overview of the debate about the direction of US foreign policy within the US and analyses the implications of American power for the rest of the world.
