Discover how rivalling discourses of American grand strategy reveal a fractured consensus of geopolitical identity and national security under President Obama. This conflict manifested in divergent elite visions of liberal hegemony, cooperative engagement and unilateral restraint.
Georg Löfflmann examines the identity conflict within the Washington foreign policy establishment, between elite insiders and outsiders, and how the ‘Obama Doctrine’ both confirmed a geopolitical vision of American exceptionalism and challenged established notions of US hegemony and world leadership.
Georg Löfflmann is Teaching Fellow in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick. He has published in the journals Geopolitics and Critical Studies on Security. His first monograph was published in German: German Security Policy between Multilateralisms and Reticence – The Mission of the Bundeswehr in Afghanistan (Diplomica, 2008).
