Beschreibungen/Notizen
For over 40 years, the foreign and defense policies of the US have been guided by a central theme - a well-defined basic policy objective. That goal was for the US to take the lead in building an international world order based on liberal economic and political institutions and to defend that world against communist attack. However, the political-strategic situation in the US has changed. Postwar policies appear to have achieved their principal objective, and a new conception of foreign and defense policies is required. A new strategic concept is proposed that involves: 1. the accommodation and protection of diversity within a general framework of world order, 2. the fostering of a world climate in which a wide array of political groups are able to exist, 3. supranational institutions being given the role of providing stability and forward movement on important global and regional issues that transcend national or ethnic boundaries, and 4. unique role playing by the US to bring its powers to the support of order and diversity among the world's diffuse and varied groups.
