Abstract
This paper discusses Osgood's book which covers the period of United States history from 1895 to the end of the undeclared war in Korea. It points out that the historical period covered in this work of Osgood in reality dates even further back in history to about 1822. It deals with alliances and their ideals in both times of war and peace explaining the subtle differences in context each state presents in foreign relations.
From the Paper
"Although Osgood holds Degrees from several highly regarded universities and colleges his primary educational background is from The Johns Hopkins University. A prolific writer on the subject of the United States' involvement in foreign relations his strongest area of study in the early years when this work was produced is in Wilsonian Theories of Foreign Alliances. To this end "Ideals and Self Interest in American Foreign Relations," one of his first book length publications covers the period of United States history from 1895 to the end of the undeclared war in Korea. Technically, the United States and the United Nations Alliance are still at war with the People's Democratic Republic of North Korea as hostilities ended in 1953 with the signing of a "Cease Fire," arrangement rather than any sort of "Peace Treaty," or agreement."

Abstract
An examination of American Foreign Policy from three articles from Annual Edition?s American Foreign Policy: Article 33, ?Musclebound: The Limits of U.S. Power? by Stephen M. Walt; Article 12, ?A Small Peace for the Middle East? by Arthur Hertzberg; and Article 11, ?To Be An Enlightened Power? by Wu Xinbo. It discusses the overall foreign policy theme that links the articles together, the central arguments of each article, the article the author tends to support, and what should be the final foreign policy responses and solutions to the problems.
From the Paper
"All three authors, Walt, Hertzberg, and Xinbo, clearly believe that the United States should change its approach to foreign policy. The authors? views are linked by their portrait of the United States as the major super power in the world and the problems and responsibilities that arise with this reality. They contend that the United States has involved itself in issues that either cannot be solved by U.S. intervention and that the United States tends to paint a picture of all problems being resolved on the White House lawn or through military force. All three authors point to the failures of the U.S. policies throughout the world and each prescribes an alternative approach."

Abstract
In this essay, American foreign policy is discussed. The writer examines how today, American foreign policy has begun to stray from its proud legacy of balanced diplomacy and legitimate action. The writer discusses that from 1945 through the end of the Cold War, containment and deterrence kept the U.S. out of a "hot" war of global proportions. The writer looks at how today, the doctrine of preemptive war threatens to undermine that prior objective.
From the Paper
"American foreign policy has undergone many a shift in the nearly six decades since the close of World War II. At that time the wake of Hitler's dark and illegitimate aggression against his neighbors and the Jews, had given the world reason for serious pause. The principle of might makes right had been thoroughly borne out and with disastrous results. In the immediate aftermath, the United States, working with Europe and in fact inspiring the Charter of the United Nations, established that in an increasingly dangerous world peace must ... "

American Foreign Policy, 2007.
This paper provides a critique of American foreign policy.
1,954 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 7 sources, MLA, AU$ 91.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the foreign policy of the United States of America in regard to such diverse areas as the Cold War, the U.S. relationship with China and the U.S. conflicts with Iraq, presents challenges to any analyst. The writer argues that these challenges stem from the fact that U.S. foreign policy is rarely cohesive across the broad spectrum of international relations. The writer notes that in both the strengths and weaknesses of American foreign policy from the Cold War to the War on Terror/Long War, a complex range of contributing factors determine the shape of U.S. foreign policy in ways that often differ radically from one theater of operations to another.
Outline:
Introduction
The United States and the Cold War
The United States and China
The United States and Iraq
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In critically evaluating the course of American foreign policy from the Cold War to the present it is necessary to look beneath the surfaces of international relations to consider a range of contributing factors that may have shaped American foreign policy in ways that do not seem immediately apparent upon initial examination."
"The Cold War represents just such a situation, for while it may seem initially to have been a conflict between two pre-eminent superpowers - the United State and the U.S.S.R. - at the end of the Second World War, many observers have argued that Western European nations played a primary role in persuading a reluctant United States to become engaged in Europe as a counter-balance to the Soviet Union."

From the Paper
"Ever since the end of WWII the American government has adopted a foreign policy based on lies, economic and power interests. The former ?cradle of democracy? has turned into a hypocritical, corrupted and ignorant superpower. Now, after the fall of communism this superpower is more untouchable than ever. The hate towards America and everything American has been increasing around the world with every bad political decision the American government makes. Still, many Americans were stunned and confused by the September 11th tragedy, not knowing the exact reasons for it. As history shows, there is a reason for every event, and for September 11 the reason was the US foreign policy. The American government must change its foreign policy, otherwise worst tragedies will happen."

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan, and how these have shaped American foreign policy for good and bad from the end of World War II to the present.
From the Paper
"The Truman Doctrine was the impetus for the change in United States foreign policy, from isolationist to internationalists; thus we were drawn into two wars of containment and into world affairs. The Truman Doctrine led to a major change in U.S. foreign policy from its inception - aid to Turkey and Greece - to its indirect influence in Korea and Vietnam."

American Foreign Policy, 2001.
An analysis of the argument for internationalism in American foreign policy.
1,325 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that the United States of America should practice internationalism and not isolationism nor a combination of the two as its dominant political value system. To demonstrate this and to provide evidence for this thesis, the paper analyzes the essay published in 1941 entitled "The American Century" by Henry Luce. In addition, the paper looks at American international relations since World War II, and American influence throughout the world.
From the Paper
"Luce wrote his essay on February 17, 1941 for the popular periodical Life Magazine. He wrote in the face of the massive destruction wrought upon the United Kingdom during Battle of Britain. In years before, America had held fast to the words of Founding Father George Washington, who warned against entangling foreign alliances, as practiced by most of the European nations. For much of America?s history, this council had seemed wise. Yet after World War I, this advice began to seem less effective. The United State Senate?s refusal to allow the U.S. to enter the League of Nations, even though its own President, Woodrow Wilson had been critical in the construction of the League, had resulted in the League?s inefficacy. Prime Minister of Britain Neville Chamberlain had pursued an isolationist policy as part of Britain?s ideology, only to see that nation collapse under its dead weight, under the wake of Hitler?s attempt to dominate Europe and bomb England to destruction."

American Foreign Policy, 2005.
An analysis of American foreign policy in Iraq and Russia, discussing Russia's future as a superpower and America's stance on fighting international terror.
2,122 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 96.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the following hypotheses:
Firstly, that Russia, though seemingly at a low in terms of economic opportunity is in actuality a country of opportunity and unrealized financial possibility. Secondly, that the U.S. foreign policy may render the U.S. ineffective in its quest to spread freedom and liberty throughout the world; and finally, that warnings of terrorist attacks, which are broadcast through media sources are an effective way of removing the rights of the individual through a purported 'protection focused' type of legislation.
From the Paper
"According to recent news, science, economic and other relevant journal reports, it is highly likely that the Soviet Union will see renewed economic status in the post-Cold War Era due to the concentration of businesses setting up shop due to the availability of cheap labor in the country. Projections in relation to the country's economic outlook are stated in a recent 'Country Analysis"."

American Foreign Aid, 2005.
This paper offers an analysis of the benefits of American foreign aid to poor countries.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, AU$ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines why foreign aid programs are worthy of pursuing. The paper explains that they are an investment that can improve America's image in the world, help millions of people and reduce terrorism. The paper describes how much of the Third World is struggling in poverty and despair and people in these countries are becoming increasingly resentful of wealthy, powerful countries like the United States. The paper explains that this resentment is often taken advantage of by terrorist groups like Al Qaeda, which recruits people in these countries and trains them to become terrorists.
From the Paper
"Over the past fifty years, a debate has ensued regarding the effectiveness of American foreign aid to developing countries. Proponents of foreign aid, which is usually in the form of food, loans or direct financial assistance, contend that providing these forms of aid is an advantage because it improves political stability in these countries and helps to raise the standard of living of their people. Unfortunately, evidence from decades of American shipments of food and financial assistance to countries like Laos and Cambodia is mixed, for much of this aid rarely gets to the poverty-stricken people it was intended for. Critics of foreign aid claim that progress and self-reliance in developing countries cannot be achieved by handing them food and money."

Media Influence on American Foreign Policy, 1994.
Discusses extent to which mass media affects American foreign policy decisions.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"The mass media in America have an influence over nearly every aspect of American life, and there is no reason to believe that the development and implementation of American foreign policy should be any different. Bennett (1994) sees the media as intruding into the frame of world events and cites a number of instances in which the presence of the media has shaped the way foreign policy has been conducted. Dramatic examples are derived from military operations such as the Gulf War, Grenada, and Panama. Bennett also cites the vivid images on American television of the Tiananmen Square incidents in China in 1989 and the fact that 1992 images of starvation in Somalia forced the mobilization of an international humanitarian intervention by the U.S. military. Bennett looks at the Gulf War as showing how well the government can use the media to shape policy and to sell foreign policy. Bennett concludes.."

This paper focuses on U.S. nuclear power and American foreign policy, 1945-1950. The author contends that the U.S. nuclear monopoly gave it a position of power which developed into a hard line toward Russia leading to the Cold War.

From the Paper
"This research studies the impact that U.S. nuclear power had on American foreign policy between 1945 and 1950. It is assumed that the United States did not, for moral reasons, take advantage of this power. This research will examine the validity of this assumption.
What was the post-war situation the United States faced in 1945? Most important was that the United States had not only unlocked the secrets of nuclear fission, but had also demonstrated this to the world in two explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It has been suggested that the major reason for the United States dropping the bombs was to affect the post-war balance of power. Commentators. argued that the reason for dropping the bombs was not to shorten the war; the war with Japan was already guaranteed to be ending, and they believed that the ... "

Watergate and American Foreign Policy, 2001.
An analysis of how American foreign policy caused and was affected by the Watergate scandal.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the Watergate break-in scandal in 1972. The author discusses the political motive behind the act, the figures involved in the scandal, and attempts to understand why President Nixon would authorize the illegal act and jeopardize his future.
From the Paper
"The cause of the Watergate scandal lays in the split between the containment and new world order factions within the Nixon administration. Through 1972, Richard Nixon?s presidency had been a successful one. He had begun to remove the United States from Vietnam , opened relations to China , achieved detente with the Soviets, and brought the allies back under tighter control through higher energy prices, all of which helped strengthen containment. Henry Kissinger and the other members of the Rockefeller establishment needed to find some way to gain leverage over Nixon in order to promote their new world order agenda. Watergate would become their tool for wresting power from Nixon and changing the grand strategy of American foreign policy."

American Foreign Policy in Sub Sahara, 2005.

2,700 words (approx. 10.8 pages), 14 sources, AU$ 155.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines American foreign policy towards sub-Saharan Africa, which has demonstrated continuity, for regardless of whether Democratic or Republican administrations have held power in the White House, events in sub-Saharan Africa have rarely been considered important enough to merit American attention. The paper argues that subsequently, American foreign policy attitudes about sub-Saharan Africa over the past thirty-six years can best be described as detached and dismissive.
From the Paper
"Since Richard Nixon's first term as President of the United States, American foreign policy towards sub-Saharan Africa has demonstrated continuity, for regardless of whether Democratic or Republican administrations have held power in the White House, events in sub-Saharan Africa have rarely been considered important enough to merit American attention. Subsequently, American foreign policy attitudes about sub-Saharan Africa over the past thirty-six years can best be described as detached and dismissive. The African continent has generally been considered geo-politically unimportant to the United States, so the American foreign policy establishment has paid little attention to Africa."
