Towards Strategic Pragmatism in Foreign Policy available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. What is pragmatism? Is it a means to an end, or an end in itself? Is it antithetical to ideology or morality? Arguing that pragmatism is a skill much more than an attribute, Phua examines how viewing it in this way can help achieve better foreign policy outcomes. He examines and contrasts the ways in which the United States, China and Singapore have incorporated pragmatism into their approaches to foreign policy. In doing so he debunks dualistic myths around pragmatism and ideology and promotes the view of pragmatism as a skill that can be developed. An essential primer for students, analysts and policymakers, with a fresh and practical approach to pragmatism.

The series is being brought out by the White Burket Miller Center of Public Affairs through the assistance of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. The main theme of Professor Crabb's study of pragmatism is that the credibility of philosophies of politics and foreign policies rests on their intellectual foundations. However, the public's acceptance of a philosophy depends on its ability to understand its assumptions and tenets. A philosophy may be sound intellectually but lacking in public understanding and comprehension. ISBN 0-8191-4423-1: $16.50.

Download and read online ebook Cultural Pragmatism for US-China Relations write by Charles Chao Rong Phua. This book was released on 2022-10-25. Cultural Pragmatism for US-China Relations available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Thucydides trap and a US-China face-off are not structurally inevitable; US-China relations are what the US and China make of them. Phua focuses on the ability to see "US as US" and "China as China" to trigger both countries’ cultural tendencies towards pragmatism. Phua examines China’s arduous journey to fit in the Westphalian system, the deep cultural misunderstandings by the West of Sunzi’s The Art of War, and attempts to offer an inside-out cultural synthesis of classical and modern Chinese thought as a proxy of their operational code, beyond the standard clichés about Confucian and Daoist thought. He builds on Jervis’ perception and misperception as well as Alastair Johnston’s cultural realism. Readers will benefit from a culturally-Chinese, western-educated and politically neutral understanding of "China as China". An essential primer for academics, practitioners and students of international relations, diplomacy and Chinese culture.

Download and read online ebook Hope, Change, Pragmatism write by Jacob Shively. This book was released on 2016-07-27. Hope, Change, Pragmatism available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book seeks to uncover a clear picture of Barack Obama’s grand strategy, the overarching methods applied to identify and achieve national interests in a global setting. Pressed for an “Obama doctrine” during his final years in office, the President claimed a simple international relations approach: applying all tools at his disposal before resorting for military force. Critics, however, remain unimpressed. They charge the administration with strategic incoherence and weak leadership. Stepping away from ideological and theoretical commitments, Shively applies a simple framework for grand strategy, one that also deepens our systematic understanding. After untangling a complex history and narrating three cases of tumult in 2009, 2011, and 2014, Shively characterizes Obama’s grand strategy as “pragmatic internationalism” and argues that it was a promising but poorly implemented approach.
