The Hell Of Good Intentions

''The Hell Of Good Intentions''

The Hell of Good Intentions by Stephen M. Walt critiques U.S. foreign policy since the Cold War, blaming its failures on a bipartisan pursuit of "liberal hegemony." Walt argues that efforts to reshape the world through military intervention and democracy promotion have backfired, leading to endless wars and lost credibility. He calls for a shift to "offshore balancing"—a more restrained, realist strategy focused on core interests. Clear and incisive, the book presents a powerful case for rethinking America's global role.
