This book maps the constellation of left-progressive foreign policy thought and conceptualizes grand strategy as worldmaking.

Recenzje

'Liberal internationalist pundits routinely excoriate the left for failing to be 'realistic' about US foreign policy. Van Jackson blows that critique out of the water. Clear, punchy, and brilliantly argued, Grand Strategies of the Left exposes the wildly fantastical, dangerous, and imperialist reality of the security status quo while providing a robustly pragmatic alternative to US hegemony. This is the book you want to give your 'progressive' friends to help them connect the dots between domestic and international politics and imagine a more secure, egalitarian, and peaceful future for the world.' Jeanne Morefield, Associate Professor of Political Theory, University of Oxford
