Competing visions of restraint/ Miranda Priebe, John Schuessler, Bryan Rooney, [et. al.] - 2024

The article examines the concept of restraint in U.S. grand strategy, a stance advocated by various political groups, including realists, conservatives, and progressives, particularly since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The author delves into the different interpretations of restraint within these groups and the underlying beliefs that have driven their convergence on this issue. The article highlights that within each group, there are diverse beliefs and preferences, and these divisions have become more apparent in response to events like the Russian invasion of Ukraine and China's growing influence. It also speculates on how these groups' views may evolve as new threats and challenges emerge in global politics.
