The Bush Doctrine is dead! At least that.s what critics hope. But
while new U.S. national security challenges emerge, many post-9/11
threats still persist and the policies of George W. Bush offer one set
of strategic answers for how President Obama can confront those dangers.
Neither a polemic nor a whitewash, this book provides a careful analysis
of the Bush Doctrine.its development, application, and rationale.and
assesses its legacy: How will Obama respond to the many foreign policy
challenges that await him?

Through an examination of psychology as much as policy, Renshon gives
us the first comparative analysis of the Bush Doctrine and the developing
Obama Doctrine. The book analyzes the range of national security issues
Obama will face and the political divisions that permeate U.S. national
security debates. It is essential reading for anyone looking to understand
how presidents assess security risks generally and how Obama specifically
is likely to adapt the Bush Doctrine to his own worldview.
