Charles Chao Rong Phua

Towards Strategic Pragmatism in Foreign Policy (eBook, ePUB)

Cases of United States of America, China and Singapore

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What is pragmatism? Is it a means to an end, or an end in itself? Is it antithetical to ideology or morality? Arguing that pragmatism is a skill much more than an attribute, Phua examines how viewing it in this way can help achieve better foreign policy outcomes.
