In a recent article for The National Interest online, Nikolas K. Gvosdev cites Thomas M. Nichols in his argument that foreign policy change in the form of a return to the pre George W. Bush international order will be "highly unlikely."
"Thomas M. Nichols’ Eve of Destruction: The Coming Age of Preventive War
(University of Pennsylvania Press, 2008) takes a hard look at an
increasingly dysfunctional international system and notes that the ‘cat’—the concept of preventive war—is now out of the bag," wrote Gvosdev in his review of three new books on international relations and U.S. foreign policy.
