"This book analyzes the foreign policy of the United States towards Cambodia by examining the realities constructed by the key players within the relevant policy-making elites. It also focuses on actors outside the United States, such as Vietnam, China, ASEAN and the old Soviet Union, in an attempt to measure the influence of their realities on US foreign policy. As an examination of the process of US foreign policy, by focusing on the realities of significant actors within decision-making elites, it makes valuable contributions to decision-making theory and foreign policy analysis as well as providing insights into regional politics. As such it is a worthwhile acquisition for scholars in any of those fields."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
