Recounting the actors and events of U.S. foreign policy, Robert Zoellick identifies five traditions that have emerged from America’s encounters with the world: the importance of North America; the special roles trading, transnational, and technological relations play in defining ties with others; changing attitudes toward alliances and ways of ordering connections among states; the need for public support, especially through Congress; and the belief that American policy should serve a larger purpose. These traditions frame a closing review of post-Cold War presidencies, which Zoellick foresees serving as guideposts for the future.

Both a sweeping work of history and an insightful guide to U.S. diplomacy past and present, America in the World serves as an informative companion and practical adviser to readers. In this event, FPRI’s Director of the Center for the Study of America and the West Ronald Granieri will interview Zoellick on the strategic and immediate challenges of U.S. foreign policy during an era of transformation.
