...A country's foreign policy, also called the international relations policy, is a set of goals outlining how the country will interact with other countries economically, politically, socially and militarily, and to a lesser extent, how the country will interact with non-state actors. The aforementioned interaction is evaluated and monitored in attempts to maximize benefits of multilateral international cooperation.Foreign policies are designed to help protect a country's national interests, national security, ideological goals, and economic prosperity. This can occur as a result of peaceful cooperation with other nations, or through exploitation. Read full entry

The whole world is very different today than it was in the early years of the Republic, so our foreign policy is different by necessity. The U.S. had much more isolationist tendencies in the early years. This was largely because it had not yet established itself as a military power. We were afraid of wars with the big European nations that had massive navies, since we weren't eager to repeat the Revolution. It's hard to say, actually whether the U.S. really even HAD a "foreign policy" after the revolution. In those days, unless you were a big powerful colonial power, you basically minded your own business. |

What is a US foreign policy 1)Though often separated into
distinct spheres,
international and domestic
politics interact to produce
policy outcomes that are not,
strictly speaking, always
optimal. A political system
exists in domestic and
international arenas with
inputs and outputs flowing
from and to each and effecting
policy accordingly. Choose a
specific American foreign
policy and discuss how that
policy is shaped by both
domestic political concerns
and international politics. Be
sure to discuss the relevant
structures and processes
involved.

We sacrifice our domestic freedoms on occasion to appease our supposed allies. For instance, travel. It would have been far easier after the 9/11 tragedy and the shoe bomber attempt to just be more careful searching Muslim passengers or people with Saudi passports, but we didn't want to offend the Saudis or other Muslims and instead decided to make travel horrible and unpleasant for everyone. This is silly because the only hijacking of American planes over the past 30 years have been committed by one group - Muslim men, 90% of them with Saudi passports. So this is an example of where we let political correctness and appeasement of an ally take precedence over the people and our rights as US citizens. There are many, many more - we turn a blind eye to China's labor abuses and human rights issues because we buy lots of cheap Chinese crap. We don't worry about Myanmar or Sudan because they aren't trading partners of ours. We don't put up a real wall between Mexico and the US because we want the Mexican government to continue to be friendly to our imports. Etc. Etc. |
