After one of the most controversial and divisive periods in the history of American foreign policy under President George W.

Now, international problems confronting Obama appear more intractable, and there seems to be a marked continuity in policies between Obama and his predecessor. Robert Singh argues that Obama's approach of 'strategic engagement' was appropriate for a new era of constrained internationalism, but it has yielded modest results. Obama's search for the pragmatic middle has cost him political support at home and abroad, whilst failing to make decisive gains. Singh suggests by calibrating his foreign policies to the emergence of a 'post-American'world, the president has yet to preside over a renaissance of US global leadership. Ironically,Obama's policies have instead hastened the arrival of a post-American world. 2022-10-14T14:52:23Z 2022-10-14T14:52:23Z 2012 book ONIX_20221014_9781780931135_42 9781780931135 9781780931128 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58711 eng application/pdf n/a 9781780931128.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781780931111 10.5040/9781780931111 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781780931135 9781780931128 Bloomsbury Academic 272 London open access
