US Foreign Policy: Overpowered?

Great summary of three related books about the US foreign policy. There is no way I could read those books given the time and priority constraints.

Written by Michael Mandelbaum, published in Foreign Affairs magazine.


Overpowered? | Foreign Affairs

"Powerful countries can and do carry out foreign policies that fail, making them less prosperous, less respected, and, ultimately, less powerful. In each of the books, the prime example of the dangers of power, the equivalent of the lottery winners destroyed by riches, is the United States during the George W. Bush administration. For all three authors, the essence of what Christopher Preble calls "the power problem" is that the United States has too much of it."

The part about Russia and Putin is pretty interesting.

Here comes a great song for those who don't care about foreign policy. Róisín Murphy was the soloist of the band Moloko. You may remember the songs like Sing It Back, Fun for Me and The Time Is Now from Moloko.
