Defending the National Interest: Raw Materials Investments and U.S. Foreign PolicyPrinceton University Press, 06/10/2020 - 424 páginas Stephen Krasner's assumption of a distinction between state and society is the root of his argument for the superiority of a statist interpretation of American foreign policy. Here he challenges the two dominant and rival interpretations of the relationship between state and society: interest group liberalism and Marxism. He contends that the state is an autonomous entity acting on behalf of the national interest, and that state behavior cannot be explained by group or class interest. |
