First published in 2001, US Allies in a Changing World explores the development of the United States' alliances from the American perspective, as well as from that of its most important allies—Britain, Germany, the Gulf States, Israel, Turkey, Australia, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. The book considers how these relationships changed in the tumultuous international environment of the past half century, assesses the situations as they existed then, and explores the likely future direction of each country's link to the United States. The volume is organized by regions, with sections covering American perspectives; Europe; the Middle East; and Asia. It will be a beneficial read for students and researchers of international relations and politics.
