The purpose of this article is to study the main postulates of the so-called Quincy coalition, which expresses the views of modern American isolationism and containment in foreign policy. The authors, based on the method of comparative analysis, analyze the approaches of modern libertarianism, realism and left-liberal progressives, and come to the conclusion that the American expert-academic discourse is debatable, polyphonic and ambiguous in assessments, methods and approaches. The results of the study will allow Russian departments that carry out Russia's foreign policy to conduct more effective interaction with American counterparts in solving the most complex problems of the modern world.
