28. New Paradigms

29. Hegemonism Realism Isolationism Liberalism Liberal Internationalism Radical Anti-Imperialism

30. Hegemonism

34. US as single superpower (preponderance) Preserve US dominance into future Use military, economic, cultural power to pursue US interests Self-interested Pax Americana Containment of China? US must respond to terrorism

35. Hegemonism US leadership is crucial US needs to create stable int’l system US serves its own and world interests; strong moral component Clinton’s multilateral, “timid” version Bush’s unilateral, assertive version

36. Hegemonism: Problems Too costly in resources and lives American public may not support Cannot prevent rise of “challengers” Create anti-US backlash Containment of China is impractical Era of empires is over Need int’l cooperation to fight terrorism

37. Realism

39. International system is chaotic Key actors are states, especially great powers Survival/protection comes from power, especially military power US must promote its own national interest Pragmatic use of military power Primary logic during Cold War (but not pure version)

40. Realism Conflict, not war, is inevitable; “peace” through balance of power Alliances and int’l institutions can be useful “tools” to be discarded when needed Avoids inserting morality into foreign policy Post-Cold War version

41. Realism: Problems Realism in a unipolar world? Does not explain democratization, globalization, interdependence How to deal with terrorist threats from non-state actors? Can US act as amoral nation? Understanding and support of American people? What are the true threats facing US ?

42. Isolationism

43. US should play a much smaller role in world affairs; abandon “superpower syndrome” US should reduce its military role abroad Use military for direct security threats US seek “normal” economic and political interaction with rest of world

44. Isolationism: Why? Declinism: US cannot afford to maintain its “superpower role” Come Home America: US needs to focus on long-ignored domestic problems Insoluble problems: US cannot “solve” may current international problems

45. Isolationism: Problems Rejects any remnant of American idealism Can other countries “fill the gap” left by American withdrawal? Short-term benefits, long-term costs Security threats to America still exist Does it address terrorism question?

46. Liberalism

49. Wilsonianism or Idealism US should actively promote the growth of democracy and free markets; promote human rights and self-determination Use economic, political, and military tools to support democracy and free markets Establish viable collective security system

50. Liberalism Promoting human rights and American values are worthwhile foreign policy goals American values are world values Clinton’s Enlargement was part Liberalism

51. Liberalism: Problems Too much idealism? Very difficult to promote democracy, except indirectly and on long-term basis Not all countries can prosper with free markets Will American people support numerous pro-democracy interventions? How would Liberalism deal with rogue nations, proliferation, and terrorism?

52. Liberal Internationalism

53. > NATO WTO IMF World Bank NGOs

54. Liberal Internationalism Modern version of liberalism Focuses on new issues of globalization, environment, health, poverty Interdependence demands strong international institutions Restricted US leadership with strong multilateralism Diminished utility of military solutions to solve world problems Strong moral imperative

55. Liberal Internationalism: Problems Agenda is too far-reaching? How effective can international institutions be? Will American people sacrifice some aspects of our life style? Does it address terrorism question?

56. Radical Anti-imperialism

57. Radical Anti-imperialsim

58. Radical Anti-imperialism

59. US is imperialistic and exploitive power Use military to provide support for US corporate interests No US national interests; only interests of political and business elites US hides its actions with “phony morality” Rejects the celebration of free markets; world needs less not more capitalism

60. Radical Anti-imperialism: Problems More critique than foreign policy logic Raises some relevant points, but offers only extremism Ignores real dangers of world; ignores “good deeds” by US Sees terrorism as fault of American actions, almost absolves terrorists
