Foreign policy and democratic politics: the American and British experience
Waltz, Kenneth N.
Foreign policy and democratic politics: the American and British experience - London Longmans 1967 - xii, 331p.
The purpose of this work is to measure the capabilities of democracies in the realm of foreign policy by looking closely at the politics and institutions of two of the oldest and most prominent democratic states-Britain and the U.S.A. The core of the book consists of a detailed examination and comparative analysis of the British and American attitudes to external affairs, with special emphasis on the ways in which these policies are affected by the internal policies of the two democratic systems.
Professor Waltz's view of the relative merits of the British and American political systems is highly unorthodox, but his is the only carefully reasoned argument of a case which deserves the closest consideration. His book, with its original and scholarly approach, cannot be ignored by students of current politics, among whom it is sure to arouse considerable controversy.
