America Abroad
Book •
America Abroad explores the hypothetical scenario of significant U.S.
withdrawal from global security commitments and the likely international repercussions of such retrenchment.
Brooks and Wilforth examine historical precedents, strategic consequences, and the capacities of allies and rivals to fill power vacuums.
The book assesses both costs and benefits of reduced U.S.
engagement, engaging with debates sparked by shifting domestic politics and populist pressures.
It offers empirical and theoretical arguments about the durability of American influence and the international system's response to U.S.
pullback.
The book contributed to public debate following renewed discussion of isolationist policies.
