A Study Of The Impact Of Neo-isolationism On The Foreign Policy Of The US Government After The Cold War

Has long been the United States with unique national characteristics with world politics,the pursuit of overseas target,making American foreign policy has been far from isolationism and international power politics or between pendulum swing on both ends of the globalism,the U.S.government can directly from efforts to save the world turned to equally determined to avoid the failure of the international union for the Wilson has clearly reflected the "split".After the cold war,it was obvious that Bill Clinton’s contact policy met with congress’s resistance to UN peacekeeping and foreign aid.His successor,George w.bush,pulled out of a series of global agreements and tried to promote democracy in the Middle East.Congressional conservatives strongly oppose Mr Obama’s shift to "global governance" and rules of international law,and his interests are protected by special treatment when he chooses to "intervene".So that by "god’s special care" American foreign policy goals in the world arena means there are two options:governs incorruptibly,prevent costly foreign adventures;Or actively intervene abroad as the world’s policeman.The former is for two centuries has been more or less affect American diplomatic decision-making of isolationism,as a kind of ideological trend,isolationism in deeply into the American blood,even if it had never put forward specific foreign policy,but still be able to see it for the processing of the profound impact of external relations.After the end of the cold war,americans faced a problem that often mentioned:foreign policy is like 1918 years after the first world war back to the western hemisphere,as they did in 1945 after world war ii showed strong international gesture.Despite years of americans seeking far away from the major powers of conspiracy and frequent conflict,therefore,not affected by the political power of the isolationism as a strategy,but not mean that America will not interfere "its" sphere of influence in the western hemisphere,also means the United States in the world economy will not aggressive.So the biggest concern is how much attention and resources the United States should devote to foreign policy when the United States virtually no longer faces any significant military threat.The peak of the power after world war ii,with deterioration of regional conflicts,China’s economic rise,the United States began to irrevocably recession in terms of global power,especially the "9.11" incident,representing the American politics on a advocate "limited internationalism" power of the new ideological trend of isolationism.Although new isolationism in American policy makers at this time is not dominant,on American foreign policy formulation and implementation of function also is very limited,however,because it reflects the American society on the enduring strength of a,so people can often see in American diplomatic decision-making the regulating function of the valve.Dependent on each other in a world of growing isolationism as a kind of culture in the American consciousness deeply,probably won’t repeat past absolute position in American society,but to meet a suitable soil,in different forms of American political life is bound to different degrees of influence and even the world.Just like today,the actions of the new American President,Donald trump,have been more or less a reflection of isolationism.In this critical moment,several crucial question worth thinking about:the United States should keep its own and the role of "world police" to intervene in other parts of the conflict or in their own standard to reshape the foreign government?Or should take the lead to solve such problems such as global poverty,climate change,or America’s leaders should be aware of the limitations of its development,and "pursue prudent,self-restraint based strategy"?Trying to analyze these seemingly contradictory foreign policies from the perspective of new isolationism is the main point of this paper.In this paper,guided by the ideas and principles of politics theory subject,selecting new isolationism appeared in the different periods of American foreign performance as the theme,the new characteristics of isolationism after the cold war as the key point,through the bush administration,the Obama administration’s policy practice and the policy guidance of the government is likely to trump,as the main line,presents under the background of new isolationism influence on American foreign policy,as well as in the United States today under the new isolationist tendency on the impact of the international situation may be.
