Throughout the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama’s dynamic oratory skills played a pivotal role in his historic electoral victory. Once in office those same proclivities were again on display during a host of major foreign policy speeches—those that endeavored to reformulate relations with the Muslim world, nuclear proliferation, the strategies in Afghanistan and Pakistan, to name a few—that provide critical information for evaluating the president’s policies. This volume provides an in-depth exploration of the president’s major speeches and allows the reader to assess the extent to which Obama met the domestic and global expectations associated with his foreign policy agenda.

Key features:

Students will find the selection of speeches thought provoking, particularly on the question of war.
Starting with Senator Obama’s anti-Iraq War speech, readers will examine several speeches that evolved into the strategies for what critics charge is ""Obama’s War in Afghanistan.""
Speeches from recent events are also included, such as the presidential address that unleashed American intervention in the Libyan civil war and Obama’s triumphant address to nation in which he announced the death of Osama Bin Laden.

Foreign Policy Speeches of Obama serves as an invaluable resource for U.S. Foreign Policy, American Government, International Relations, and Presidential Studies courses.
