America - The World Policeman

Paper Summary:

The writer of this paper investigates the change in America's policy of international peace-keeper to that of a self-serving regime which influences the policies of countries, specifically after the September 11 attack. He further explores how the rest of the world sees America's change of policy and the affect it has on world politics.

From the Paper:

"There is also a growing dislike for the American policies among a number of counties; the French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine called the United States a "hyperpower," the Dutch Prime Minister declared that the European Union should make itself "a counterweight to the United States." Russian and China have always opposed the U.S. "hegemony" and are hoping to establish "a multipolar world." America should endeavor to create a more respectful and mutually acceptable relationship with the other great powers. Philosopher and political analyst Walter Lippmann wrote in 1965, "A mature great power will make measured and limited use of its power." Professor David Calleo, says that American leadership is "sometimes like a kind of world government but run by us, and without much reference to what people think" (Woollacott, 2001.)"
