Final Examination

Question Three American international relations are extremely scattered, and when examined can be interpreted in many different ways. This may be because there is perhaps a blend of these major schools of American foreign policy in all of our international relations. The major schools that will be used as lenses are isolationism, liberal internationalism, Kissingerian realism, democratic globalism, and democratic realism. I am going to use these lenses to examine how the liberation in Iraq was handled, and what foreign policy was mainly used. Isolationism is a foreign policy that states we should detach ourselves from other nations affairs regarding alliances, economics, monetary, etc (Dictionary.com). Instead, all of our efforts should be targeted internally. The benefit of isolationism is keeping peace with other nations, and focusing on advancing internally. Although many Americans believe we should be an isolationistic nation, we have proved that we are not. In March 2003, George W. Bush did the opposite of what an isolationist would do, and invaded Iraq. His reasoning for invading was to find the rumored weapons of mass destruction, and to overthrow Saddam Hussein.

This world has become impersonal, detached, and dispassionate about numerous issues, issues that should inspire revolutions against those who commit them. Unfortunately, this is not the case. I am here to try and put the passion and personal aspect back into everyday life, by discussing the wrongs that have been committed by America to other nations worldwide. While I do ask you to lend me your ears, it is your heart that must be convinced. If American foreign policy stays the same (rather, progressively becomes more evil) there will be no

    George Washington says, “It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.” This sets the tone for isolationism. Isolationism is “the policy or doctrine of isolating one’s country from the affairs of other nations by declining to enter into alliances, foreign economic commitments, international agreements, etc., seeking to devote the entire efforts of one’s country to its own advancement and remain at peace by avoiding foreign entanglements and responsibilities” (Dictionary.com, n.d.). He felt that foreign policy should be based on…

    Before the end of World War I, the United States at first was very un-isolationistic. Before the war, America was a very expansionist nation. It had taken up military occupation in Cuba in 1906, taken the Philippines, taken hold of the country of Panama, and begun relations with Japan and China. But when World War I suddenly occurred, it was an unprecedented war. Never before had America seen such a large war that involved so many countries. The devastation that resulted from the war dispirited many Americans, and the problem of foreign nations not properly paying back U.S. war debts created some resentment among the American people as they felt they might have been cheated. Isolationism, it seemed at the time, was the best way to avoid foreign entanglements that might lead to another war that might have more disastrous effects.…

    The United States seems to have deemed themselves as the "Peace Keepers" of the world. Somewhere down the line of history, they have decided that there is a need to regulate any serious issues that are occurring outside of the country itself. Daryl Press defines Isolationism as, "Isolation avoids economic and diplomatic engagement and eschews potential profits from the global economy and the enrichment that sharing ideas and cultures can offer." Basically he is saying that the phrase foreign affair isn't specifically limited to wars. The term also includes financial aid, helping feed, clothe, and house third world countries in need.…

    In his Farewell Address, George Washington advised the nation against foreign affairs. It is plainly obvious that America did not heed Washington’s warning, as the onslaught of international world wars, among other things, forces the United States to interfere. America often plays the part of the “big brother” when it comes to national conflicts. The U.S. is revered by other countries, recognized as a powerful ally and a devastating enemy. Some historians and moral philosophers claim that it is America’s democratic duty to abandon the policy of isolationism and secure the liberty of the U.S. by fighting when necessary.…

    Isolationism In America

    No, the United States shouldn’t adopt a policy of isolationism because we have too many countries as allies. We need the support if the United States were to go to war against a nation. The first U.S isolationism was during World War II, and the rejection of the League of Nations was one of the first steps to an isolation nation. Isolation in America was based two beliefs. That the U.S should avoid any political commitment and warfare. Yet, we fought against Germany, Italy and Japan. If we didn’t have support from the British and other countries, then Germany, Italy, and Japan would have increased their numbers. However, a few still believe we should continue isolationism because we are currently in a state of crisis against ISIS, North Korea,…

    As a newly formed country the United States largely adopted a policy of isolationism, meaning that the government believed it was better to keep itself out of the political affairs of other countries. The United States was successful in its isolationism because of its geographical separation from Europe and most other major countries (proquest staff). After the conclusion of the American Civil War, this attitude remained the same. The country had to focus its efforts into the reconstruction and rebuilding of the nation after the years of strain and warfare that split the country in two. However, as the nineteenth century drew to a close and as both agriculture and industry exploded, the attitudes of American citizens began to change. The American…

    Invasion Of Iraq Essay

    • 439 Words
    • 2 Pages

    When analyzing the the invasion of Iraq through a Realist perspective, it is clear to see that it, much like Liberal Internationalism, has some serious flaws. In 1919, shortly after the Treaty of Versailles went into effect, a British historian by the name of E.H. Carr wrote the first critique of Liberal Internationalism called The Twenty Years Crisis. While not all of his critiques of Liberal Internationalism can be true of the invasion of Iraq, they share one striking similarity. Carr believed that purpose always shadows analysis. This is achieved during the invasion of Iraq when describing Bush’s lack of analysis due to his faith. As previously stated, Bush had a messianic nature in which he believed that dismantling the Iraqi government was a religiously righteous deed to do, even though he had little to no factual evidence to support his pretenses. Bush and his decision to invade Iraq exemplify Carr’s theory that purpose overshadows analysis.…

    For quite some time now the question of whether humanitarian intervention is an unacceptable assault on sovereignty has been at the top of the list of priority questions for international relations professors. In 2004 Neil MacFarlane, a professor of international relations, Carolin J Thielking, a doctoral candidate in international relations, and Thomas G Weiss, the director of the Ralph Bunch Institute for International Studies, gathered together to review the question of whether anyone cares about humanitarian intervention anymore. Central to their argument was the ‘responsibility to protect’ idea, and the effect of the Iraq war on humanitarian intervention. (MacFarlane et al, 2004, pp.977-992). This essay will focus on where MacFarlane et al stand on the issue of whether humanitarian intervention is just or not and why. Firstly this essay will focus on the ‘responsibility to protect’ idea and the different viewpoints on humanitarian intervention and where MacFarlane et al stand in the argument. Secondly MacFarlane et al’s argument on humanitarian intervention versus the war on terror will be outline and explored. The legitimacy of Americas involvement in Iraq and its effect on peoples view of humanitarian intervention will also be assessed in this paragraph. Thirdly the underlying problems associated with humanitarian intervention will be outlined. The direction that MacFarlane et al believe humanitarian intervention should be taken, in order to increase its legitimacy, will also be outlined in this paragraph. Lastly all the major points will be tied together in a final paragraph to draw up an appropriate conclusion.…
