美国外交政策书单
https://www.cfr.org/blog/world-next-week-what-read-and-listen-summer
每年CFR.org的总编辑Bob McMahon和我都会从《下周世界》的新闻讨论中抽出时间，提供我们的夏季阅读建议。我们的2022年夏季节目现在已经上线。今年，希瑟-康利加入了谈话。希瑟是美国德国马歇尔基金的主席，该基金今年将庆祝其成立50周年。希瑟之前在战略与国际研究中心工作了12年，在那里她是负责欧洲、欧亚大陆和北极地区的高级副总裁，以及欧洲、俄罗斯和欧亚大陆项目的主任。
希瑟、鲍勃和我同意挑选一本我们最近读过的与外交政策有关的书，一本我们期待在今年夏天阅读的书，以及一种 "更轻松 "的夏季娱乐方式。鲍勃和我在挑选时也遵循一个规则。我们不推荐由我们的CFR同事写的书。我们不喜欢在我们的朋友正在写的好东西中挑选。

马歇尔计划本周庆祝了它的七十五周年，所以毫不奇怪，希瑟在我们的谈话中首先推荐了格雷格-贝尔曼的《最崇高的冒险》。马歇尔计划和美国如何帮助重建欧洲。贝尔曼讲述了马歇尔计划是如何产生的，以及它如何改变了美国的外交政策。希瑟指出，俄罗斯对乌克兰的破坏性入侵使我们必须吸取马歇尔计划的教训，并评估如何将其应用于当前时刻。当然，贝赫曼不是唯一一个写马歇尔计划的人。约瑟夫-马里恩-琼斯的《十五个星期》。马歇尔计划起源的内部记录》和我的同事本-斯蒂尔的《马歇尔计划。冷战的黎明》是报道美国外交政策历史上最伟大成就之一的其他优秀书籍之一。
俄罗斯对乌克兰的入侵让鲍勃回到了他一直想读的那堆书中。其中一本是凯瑟琳-贝尔顿对弗拉基米尔-普京的崛起进行的扣人心弦的研究，《普京的人民：克格勃如何夺回俄罗斯，然后又夺回西方。贝尔顿解释了普京和他与克格勃有联系的核心圈子如何在苏联解体后获得经济和政治权力。作为《金融时报》驻莫斯科的前记者，贝尔顿与克里姆林宫内部人士的接触帮助她解开了俄罗斯寡头的网络。鲍勃说，她 "巧妙地 "将普京历史上的知名事件串联起来，"让人更清楚地了解我们是如何走到这一步的。" 鲍勃的选择促使希瑟推荐凯伦-达维沙的《普京的贪污腐败》。该书追踪了现代俄罗斯腐败的发展。
我喜欢阅读，我工作的一个好处是，出版商（和作者）给我寄来很多书。最近出版的一些书让我受益匪浅，包括迈克尔-金马奇的《西方的放弃》、阿里-怀恩的《美国的大国机遇》和亚伦-弗里德伯格的《误解中国》。因为我们的播客规则允许我只推荐一本书，所以我选择了我刚读完的一本好书。迈克尔-曼德尔鲍姆的《美国外交政策的四个时代》。弱国、大国、超级大国、超强国。曼德尔鲍姆出色地重述了美国与世界交往的故事，并追溯了两个半世纪以来贯穿美国外交政策的共同主题。他还强调了一个迷人的悖论，即在过去三十年中，美国享有其历史上最多的相对权力--它是一个超级大国，但也有其最不成功的外交政策。曼德尔鲍姆与我一起参加了《总统信箱》节目，讨论为什么会出现这种情况，并回顾了美国外交政策中的一些失误。据说历史是一场没有尽头的争论，而曼德尔鲍姆提供了很多东西来保持争论。

Each year CFR.org managing editor Bob McMahon and I take a break from discussing the news on The World Next Week to offer our summer reading recommendations. Our summer 2022 episode is now live. This year, Heather Conley joined the conversation. Heather is the president of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, which is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this year. Heather previously spent twelve years at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, where she was senior vice president for Europe, Eurasia, and the Arctic and director of the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia program.
Heather, Bob, and I agreed to pick one foreign-policy-related book we’ve read recently, one book we look forward to reading this summer, and a “lighter” form of summer entertainment. Bob and I also follow one rule in our picks: We don’t recommend books written by our CFR colleagues. We don’t like to pick among the great things our friends are writing.
More on:
With the rules established, here is what Heather, Bob, and I recommended:
Great Books We Have Read
The Marshall Plan celebrated its seventy-fifth anniversary this week, so not surprisingly Heather kicked off our conversation by recommending Greg Behrman’s The Most Noble Adventure: The Marshall Plan and How America Helped Rebuild Europe. Behrman tells the story of how the Marshall Plan came to be and how it transformed U.S. foreign policy. Heather noted that Russia’s devastating invasion of Ukraine makes it critical to learn the lessons of the Marshall Plan and to assess how to apply them to the current moment. Behrman, of course, is not the only person to write about the Marshall Plan. Joseph Marion Jones’s The Fifteen Weeks: An Inside Account of the Genesis of the Marshall Plan and my colleague Benn Steil’s The Marshall Plan: Dawn of the Cold War are among the other excellent books that have covered one of the greatest achievements in the history of U.S. foreign policy.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sent Bob back to a pile of books he has been meaning to read for a while. One of those was Catherine Belton’s gripping study of Vladimir Putin’s rise to power, Putin’s People: How the KGB Took Back Russia and Then Took On the West. Belton explains how Putin and his KGB-connected inner circle garnered economic and political power after the fall of the Soviet Union. As a former Financial Times correspondent in Moscow, Belton’s access to Kremlin insiders helped her untangle the web of Russia’s oligarchs. Bob said she “masterfully” ties together well-known events in Putin’s history to “shed more light on how did we get to this point.” Bob’s choice prompted Heather to recommend Karen Dawisha’s Putin’s Kleptocracy: Who Owns Russia?, which tracks the development of modern Russian corruption.
I love to read, and one of the perks of my job is that publishers (and authors) send me lots of books. Some recently published books that taught me a lot include Michael Kimmage’s The Abandonment of the West, Ali Wyne’s America’s Great-Power Opportunity, and Aaron Friedberg’s Getting China Wrong. Because our podcast rules allow me to recommend only one book, I went with a great one that I just finished reading: Michael Mandelbaum’s The Four Ages of American Foreign Policy: Weak Power, Great Power, Superpower, Hyperpower. Mandelbaum does a splendid job of both retelling the story of America’s engagement with the world and tracing the common themes that have run through U.S. foreign policy over two and a half centuries. He also highlights a fascinating paradox, namely, that over the last thirty years the United States has enjoyed the most relative power in its history—it was a hyperpower—but also had its least successful foreign policy. Mandelbaum joined me on an episode of The President’s Inbox to discuss why that was the case as well as to review some of the hits and misses in U.S. foreign policy. History is said to be an argument without end, and Mandelbaum offers a lot to keep the argument going.
