This core textbook is an accessible introduction to US Foreign Policy for undergraduate students. It provides a comprehensive examination of historical context and contemporary events, complete with a masterful presentation of important concepts and theoretical approaches. US Foreign Policy in a New Era has a unique emphasis on transnational issues, such as global health, the environment and terrorism, linking them together with the theme of a "web of connectivity". The author, Andrew Price-Smith, passed away soon after completing this text, and the text was finalized by a dedicated team of scholars.

"The central goal of this reader is to develop the capacity for critical thinking about key issues in foreign policy and to turn students into social scientists who can understand and critique complex phenomena. Use of this reader will save time for instructors who may not want to spend weeks researching the best new articles in each subject domain. It consists of five parts: Part One: Historical Perspectives and Part Two: Theory and Grand Strategy sets the tone of the reader, wherein students are exposed to basic tenets of U.S. diplomatic history, and international relations theory; Part Three: Institutions and Processes examines the role of institutions and processes, largely at the domestic level of analysis, in the conduct of U.S. foreign policy; Part Four: The U.S. and the World provides a collection of essays on U.S. foreign relations with key states and regions in the 21st century; and Part Five: New Domains examines salient new domains in U.S. foreign policy in the 21st century. The reader will compliment existing U.S. foreign policy texts. The majority of the chapters are from published articles (e.g. Foreign Policy, Foreign Affairs, etc.), although several chapters were commissioned directly for this volume"--
