Book excerpt: The United States currently has formal security relationships with over forty nations, and implicit commitments to many more. The desirability of these security relationships has been called into question in the post-Vietnam era, as the United States reassesses its international role and seeks a more flexible and pragmatic approach. This kind of examination can be facilitated by a systematic analytical approach to discern the extent of our commitments and to identify those which best serve our salient national interests.
