American Foreign Policy after Iraq by Joseph S. Nye Jr.

AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY AFTER IRAQ - JOSEPH S. NYE JR. (CHRONICLE OF HIGHER
EDUCATION, JULY 23): There is clearly no consensus in academe about the future
of American foreign policy. The questions of military intervention -- why and
how -- remain fraught. But one thing that seems clear is that American foreign
policy post-Iraq will not resemble American foreign policy after Vietnam. A
post-Iraq foreign policy cannot afford to let one issue absorb all our attention
in the complex world we are entering. Academe will have to develop a
liberal-realist synthesis and find more effective ways of advancing such a
rational-center analysis.
