I'm trying to get a balanced view of differing foreign policy ideologies and how they apply to the current situation in Iraq. In a few of my poli sci classes we talked about their are essentially two camps on foreign policy: the Teddy Roosevelt camp (realpolitik, conservative) and the Woodrow Wilson camp (idealistic, liberal?) I wanted to explore this in more detail.
Right now I'm reading 'Diplomacy' by Henry Kissinger...fascinating stuff. I plan on following this up with his more recent book, 'Does America Need a Foreign Policy?' to further analyze his thoughts on realpolitik and why he believes idealism flat-out fails in international relations.
I'm curious to know what books I should read that counter Kissinger's arguments? I was thinking to follow it up with Joseph Nye's "The Paradox of American Power".
