Synopsis

This book examines the United States' evolving role in international affairs, focusing on the foreign policy known as the Obama Doctrine. It explores whether this approach, characterized by alliance building and the focused use of hard power, is a forward-thinking strategy for the 21st century. The Munk Debates bring together prominent commentators to discuss if America's 'leading from behind' stance has benefited or hindered global stability amidst challenges like ISIS, Russian tensions, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
