About this title

Synopsis

The book's basic analytic assumption is that there is a distinction between state and society. "Defending the National Interest" shows that the problem for political analysis is how to identify the underlying social structure and the political mechanisms through which particular societal groups determine the government's behavior.

From the Back Cover

"Defending the National Interest is a major and highly original contribution to the study of American foreign policy and, in particular, to our understanding of the critically important area of national policy toward foreign investment in raw materials."--Robert Gilpin, Princeton University
