Whether your approach to teaching US foreign policy is thematic, historical, case-study oriented, regional, or perhaps a blend of several approaches, Making US Foreign Policy: The Essentials is likely to be a text that you will want to assign as required reading. The text focuses on the most fundamental questions: Who makes foreign policy decisions? How? What accounts for particular decisions? At the same time, discussions of current examples-responses to Russian interference in US elections, the travel ban targeting Muslim-majority countries, the Trump administration's immigration policies, reactions to the murder of Saudi journalist and US resident Jamal Khashoggi, and many more-make the topic "real." Clear, concise, and reasonably priced, this is the book that will provide your students with a solid understanding of, and interest in, the process by which foreign policy is made in the current environment and the full range of actors involved.
