Strategies of retrenchment: Rethinking America’s commitments to the Middle East
Beginning with the post-2003 Iraq War and accelerating with the Great Recession of 2007, many scholars and pundits have concluded that the United States is in a state of relative material decline and it is necessary to abandon its long-standing grand strategy of “deep engagement” and replace it with one of retrenchment, “a policy of retracting grand strategic commitments in response to decline in relative power.” This is necessary in order to bal…
After JCPOA: American grand strategy toward Iran
If grand strategy is a state's theory of how to produce security for itself, what should the U.S. grand strategy be toward Iran?

This article lays out four options: rollback, offshore balancing, retrenchment, and engagement. Each strategy has its merits as well as its drawback…
After the Iran deal: Competing visions for Israel's nuclear posture
