Description
Toward the end of his second term, it appears George W. Bush’s foreign policy has won few admirers, with pundits and politicians questioning the actions of the past eight years. Author Timothy Lynch counters the dogma of Bush’s detractors and ideological opponents, arguing that Bush’s policy belongs within the mainstream of the American foreign policy tradition. Further, he suggests that there will, and should, be continuity in US foreign policy from his presidency to those of his successors. Providing a positive audit of the War on Terror, Lynch maintains that the Bush Doctrine has been consistent with past foreign policies from Republican and Democratic presidencies—and that the key elements of Bush’s grand strategy will continue to shape the American approach in the future.This event is co-sponsored by the Commonweal Institute.
