The Different Faces of Bill Clinton

This paper demonstrate that he pursued his social and economic reform agenda and extended his goals to the international stage to influence foreign policy and international politics. The author feels that his presidency will be marked by three major issues: His tarnished reputation as chief of state because of the constant scandals surrounding his presidency, the weakening of the presidency because of his impeachment despite his role as chief judge, and his revival of the Democratic Party as political party chief.

From the Paper:

"Clinton was often attacked during his 1992 campaign for his lack of inexperience in foreign affairs, but during his presidency, he promoted peace negotiations in the Middle East, some of which did end in important agreements and reached a peace agreement in Yugoslavia. He also reestablished diplomatic relations with Vietnam in 1995. Clinton believed that the role of economics would supplant politics as the main factor in international relations. Specifically, he aimed to fuel political change through international trade agreements in countries such as Russia, Korea, Vietnam and China, the last of which he was able to establish normal trade relations with by 2000."
