CHAPTER 2 : BUSH ADMINISTRATION DEALING WITH
IRAN
The
US policy has been reshaped time to time. There are main four schools of
thoughts that highlight full spectrum of United States polices. The
Hamiltonians, Jeffersonian, Willsonians, and Jacksonian school of thought.
According to these schools, the first school of thought expressed that United
States need to become proxy simile to Britain‘s highest development. They
enforced that United States need to have a strong economy supplemented by
strong federal government and should be working hand in hand with large corporations;
for great business interests which will make their nation, economically strong
and bring prosperity to standard of citizens. Contrarily other school has
integrally contradicted the view, the Jeffersonian view, which says that United
States government should not go hand in hand with corporations that will
undermine democracy. It will entangle Americans with despots abroad. These
actions will force Americans to supporting evil dictators because some American
corporation has economic interest that can be advanced by such actions. ―If
we‘d never set foot in Middle East, we wouldn‘t have these problems ―the
Jeffersonian. That‘s the logic of anti-war movements, and we‘ve certainly seen
a lot of Jeffersonian.
The 3rd
one is Willsonian – hold the beliefs in the United Nation‘s international law,
the United States should be pushing its values around the world and turning
other countries into democracies whether they like it or not , and the US
should also works multi-laterally in institutions. The US should be supporting
things like the international criminal court, the comprehensive test ban
treaty, and Americans should not be Unilateralist in its approaches, otherwise
this will cut it from the other nations and weakened its hold on other nation
and it dominancy, in order to acquire they have done so much.
Final
school of thoughts Jacksonian says that united shouldn‘t interlace or
interweave itself with the affairs of the other nations until it is mandatory
for it to do so.
United
States had changed its policies accordingly; to time and time. In World War 1;
they were totally isolated from the mundane affairs of that time. And while in
2nd world war; initially they kept themselves isolated but when Japans Air
forces invade United States territory of Perl harbor in the Pacific Ocean, east
to japan, these controversial moments in the power forced Americans to get them
involved in 2nd world war.
By thoroughly understanding
the above profound views in the changing polices that has influence the
political structure of the United States and shaped it according to the picture
which is being seen today. The four schools of thoughts provide ways to study
American foreign policy. These schools also help to find how the government of
United States has changed its policy, with in the time.
