Superpower on Crusade:
The Bush Doctrine In US Foreign Policy
The Bush Doctrine, as applied to China and East Asia, has been undercut by the war in Iraq but has by no means been abandoned. The administration remains committed to containment as well as economic engagement of China, to supporting a larger Japanese security role, and to bringing about regime change in North Korea. The alternative to such a divisive and ultimately confrontational foreign policy is one focused on human security and common security, and a new China policy should be its centerpiece.
Mel Gurtov, Professor of Political Science and International Studies at Portland State University, is the author of the recently published Superpower on Crusade:The Bush Doctrine In US Foreign Policy and other books on China and East Asia, including China Under Threat: The Politics of Strategy and Diplomacy . Professor Gurtov has a Ph.D. in Political Science from UCLA and is editor-in-chief of Asian Perspective, an international journal published in Seoul.
