- Summary:
- "A central question in post-Cold War statecraft is why the United States failed to create a coherent global order despite its unmatched power. Initially optimistic, Washington used coercive diplomacy (CD) to shape the international system. From 1991 to 2020, the U.S. employed military force, economic sanctions, and diplomatic campaigns frequently but often unsuccessfully. This book explores why Washington relied on CD and the effects of its frequent failures. It reviews CD principles, major coercive episodes, and regional impacts through case studies and expert interviews. The analysis reveals inadequate planning, management, and coordination as key problems, offering practical feedback for policy adaptation"-- Provided by publisher.
