The Dispensable Nation by Vali Nasr PDF Summary

Book Description: Former State Department adviser for Afghanistan and Pakistan Vali Nasr delivers a sharp indictment of AmericaÕs flawed foreign policy, and outlines a new relationship with the Muslim world and with new players in the changing Middle East. In this essential new book, Vali Nasr argues that the Obama administration had a chance to improve its relations with the Middle East, but instead chose to pursue its predecessorÕs questionable strategies there. Nasr takes readers behind the scenes at the State Department and reveals how the new governmentÕs fear of political backlash and the spectre of terrorism crippled the efforts of diplomatic giants, like Richard Holbrooke and Hillary Clinton, to boost AmericaÕs foundering credibility with world leaders. Meanwhile, the true economic threats, China and Russia, were quietly expanding their influence in the region. And a second Arab Spring is brewing Ñ not a hopeful clamour for democracy, but rage at the United States for its foreign policy of drones and assassinations. Drawing on his in-depth knowledge of the Middle East and firsthand experience in diplomacy, Nasr offers a powerful reassessment of American foreign policy that directs the country away from its failing relationships in the Middle East (such as with Saudi Arabia) toward more productive, and less costly, partnerships with other foreign allies (such as Turkey). Forcefully persuasive, The Dispensable Nation is a game changer for America as it charts a course in the Muslim world, Asia, and beyond.
