In \u003cem\u003eThe End of Alliances\u003c\/em\u003e, Rajan Menon argues that our alliances in Europe and Asia have become irrelevant to the challenges we face today. The United States must be actively involved beyond its borders, but by relying on coalitions whose membership varies depending on the issue at hand. While a strategy that ceases to rely on alliances will mark a dramatic shift in American foreign policy, he reminds us that states routinely reassess and reorient their strategies. The United States, which studiously avoided alliances for much of its history only to embrace them during the Cold War, is no exception. \u003cem\u003eThe End of Alliances\u003c\/em\u003e predicts that the coming change in American strategy will force our traditional allies to rethink their choices and create new patterns in world politics. The controversial argument advanced by Menon will provoke debate among foreign policy specialists and the general public.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rajan Menon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195189272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195189278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.36w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/22\/2007 pg. 22","brand":"Rajan Menon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119414079743,"sku":"9780195189278","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c3312f0-150c-4420-a8ce-67d8b34e3a04.jpg?v=1687409210","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-end-of-alliances-rajan-menon-9780195189278","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
