American foreign policy three essays
In these essays, written before his appointment as Assistant to Presi- dent Nixon for National Security Affairs, Henry A. Kissinger ex- amines the framework of our foreign policy, the stresses to which that framework is being subjected, and the prospects for world order in an era of high international tension.
In the initial essay Professor Kissinger contrasts the pragmatic tradition in the conduct of American foreign policy with the ideo- logical approach of the Soviet Union and the revolutionary approach characteristic of new nations with charismatic leaders. He stresses the potential for stalemate when leaders of societies with divergent perspectives attempt the solution of an international crisis.
The second essay carries this analysis into the current interna- tional environment: a world dominated militarily by two super- powers but divided politically into complex networks of alliances. Professor Kissinger concludes that overwhelming military strength in the nuclear age is no guarantee that a nation can act with decisive- ness on the international stage. This conclusion is illustrated drama- tically by the American involvement in Vietnam, the subject of the final essay.
