Abstract:
|
The terrorist attacks on September 11 signified a distinct opportunity for the United States, as a hegemonic power, to rally support for world wide collaboration for a war on terrorism. This tragedy would set the stage for the United States to reconstruct its foreign policy agenda from one of incoherence in a Post Cold War environment to one based on practical objectives, setting the agenda toward the future of democracy, economic development, environmental preservation, and human rights. However, what scholars have witnessed is an unwillingness by the current Bush Administration to seize this opportunity to develop a prudent, comprehensive strategy about the threats in the 21st century, nor what type of role the United States should fulfill. This paper seeks to examine the foreign policy objectives since 1991, particularly emphasizing the trends that President George W. Bush sought to initiate, prior to the September 11 attacks. How have these policies hindered the United States’ ability to secure its hegemonic status in the 21st century? Has U.S. foreign policy focused on the actual threats or manufactured threats? Has the United States shot itself in the foot with its “go it alone” policy; alienating long time allies of Germany, France and Spain? Has the lackluster attempt to work with emerging economic powers like China and India, opened up new opportunities for the European Union? Is the United States fated to follow in the footsteps of the once great power of Great Britain, and more importantly, will this shift in power be peaceful or destructive? |
