About this ebook
In "Peace & Freedom: Foreign Policy for a Constitutional Republic," Ted Galen Carpenter presents a comprehensive strategy for U.S. foreign policy, advocating for "strategic independence" that emphasizes the defense of vital American interests while adhering to the nation's fundamental values. Drawing from his extensive experience at the Cato Institute, Carpenter critiques U.S. military interventions and alliances, arguing that they often entangle the nation in conflicts unrelated to its core security concerns. The book examines key international relationships, including those with China, Russia, and the European Union, and addresses persistent issues such as the Israeli-Palestinian dispute and tensions in the Persian Gulf. Carpenter also critiques U.S. policies like the international war on drugs and the willingness to let European and East Asian allies free ride on Washington's security guarantees. Throughout, he emphasizes that U.S. foreign policy should not only be more effective but also protect and promote the values that have made America a great country, aligning with the principles of limited government and individual liberty.
