Restraint

Book • 2015
In 'Restraint: A New Foundation for U.S.

Grand Strategy', Barry R. Posen critiques the U.S.

grand strategy of liberal hegemony, arguing it is unnecessary, counterproductive, and wasteful.

He proposes an alternative strategy of restraint, focusing on maintaining control of the global commons through naval, air, and space power, while reducing overseas military presence.

This approach aims to enhance U.S.

security within realistic limits and at lower costs.
