Public Choice Theory and the Illusion of American Grand Strategy
Book • 2021
In *Public Choice Theory and the Illusion of American Grand Strategy*, Richard Hanania argues that U.S.
foreign policy is shaped more by special interest groups like weapons manufacturers and foreign governments than by a coherent grand strategy.
He uses public choice theory to explain how these concentrated interests drive policy decisions, often to the detriment of broader national interests.
The book provides a comprehensive overview of historical and contemporary U.S.
foreign policy decisions.
