Force and Foreign Policy in the 21st Century: An Analysis of Justification
This nine-page graduate paper examines the book, The Illusion of Control, Force and Foreign Policy in the 21st Century, by Seyom Brown. The papers author discusses Browns analysis that Washington is becoming increasingly inclined to rely upon military force or the threat of force to deal with a wide range of issues confronting the United States around the world, particularly from Islamic extremism. In the process, the author critiques Browns position that while resorting to force may appear to be a sound method of asserting some measure of control over a world in turmoil, conducting foreign policy through military prowess may in fact prove to be a dangerous illusion.
