Abstract
An examination of American Foreign Policy from three articles from Annual Edition's American Foreign Policy: Article 33, "Musclebound: The Limits of U.S. Power" by Stephen M. Walt; Article 12, "A Small Peace for the Middle East" by Arthur Hertzberg; and Article 11, "To Be An Enlightened Power" by Wu Xinbo. It discusses the overall foreign policy theme that links the articles together, the central arguments of each article, the article the author tends to support, and what should be the final foreign policy responses and solutions to the problems.
From the Paper
"All three authors, Walt, Hertzberg, and Xinbo, clearly believe that the United States should change its approach to foreign policy. The authors' views are linked by their portrait of the United States as the major super power in the world and the problems and responsibilities that arise with this reality. They contend that the United States has involved itself in issues that either cannot be solved by U.S. intervention and that the United States tends to paint a picture of all problems being resolved on the White House lawn or through military force. All three authors point to the failures of the U.S. policies throughout the world and each prescribes an alternative approach."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the foreign policy of the United States of America in regard to such diverse areas as the Cold War, the U.S. relationship with China and the U.S. conflicts with Iraq, presents challenges to any analyst. The writer argues that these challenges stem from the fact that U.S. foreign policy is rarely cohesive across the broad spectrum of international relations. The writer notes that in both the strengths and weaknesses of American foreign policy from the Cold War to the War on Terror/Long War, a complex range of contributing factors determine the shape of U.S. foreign policy in ways that often differ radically from one theater of operations to another.
Outline:
Introduction
The United States and the Cold War
The United States and China
The United States and Iraq
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In critically evaluating the course of American foreign policy from the Cold War to the present it is necessary to look beneath the surfaces of international relations to consider a range of contributing factors that may have shaped American foreign policy in ways that do not seem immediately apparent upon initial examination."
"The Cold War represents just such a situation, for while it may seem initially to have been a conflict between two pre-eminent superpowers - the United State and the U.S.S.R. - at the end of the Second World War, many observers have argued that Western European nations played a primary role in persuading a reluctant United States to become engaged in Europe as a counter-balance to the Soviet Union."

Abstract
In this essay, American foreign policy is discussed. The writer examines how today, American foreign policy has begun to stray from its proud legacy of balanced diplomacy and legitimate action. The writer discusses that from 1945 through the end of the Cold War, containment and deterrence kept the U.S. out of a "hot" war of global proportions. The writer looks at how today, the doctrine of preemptive war threatens to undermine that prior objective.
From the Paper
"American foreign policy has undergone many a shift in the nearly six decades since the close of World War II. At that time the wake of Hitler's dark and illegitimate aggression against his neighbors and the Jews, had given the world reason for serious pause. The principle of might makes right had been thoroughly borne out and with disastrous results. In the immediate aftermath, the United States, working with Europe and in fact inspiring the Charter of the United Nations, established that in an increasingly dangerous world peace must ... "

Abstract
The paper researches the role American foreign policy had on the creation of the state of Israel and on the current Middle East crisis, emphasizing the conflict between Israel and Palestine and the American support for Israel.
From the Paper
"Ever since the end of WWII the American government has adopted a foreign policy based on lies, economic and power interests. The former "cradle of democracy" has turned into a hypocritical, corrupted and ignorant superpower. Now, after the fall of communism this superpower is more untouchable than ever. The hate towards America and everything American has been increasing around the world with every bad political decision the American government makes. Still, many Americans were stunned and confused by the September 11th tragedy, not knowing the exact reasons for it. As history shows, there is a reason for every event, and for September 11 the reason was the US foreign policy. The American government must change its foreign policy, otherwise worst tragedies will happen."

An analysis of the argument for internationalism in American foreign policy.

Abstract
This paper argues that the United States of America should practice internationalism and not isolationism nor a combination of the two as its dominant political value system. To demonstrate this and to provide evidence for this thesis, the paper analyzes the essay published in 1941 entitled "The American Century" by Henry Luce. In addition, the paper looks at American international relations since World War II, and American influence throughout the world.
From the Paper
"Luce wrote his essay on February 17, 1941 for the popular periodical Life Magazine. He wrote in the face of the massive destruction wrought upon the United Kingdom during Battle of Britain. In years before, America had held fast to the words of Founding Father George Washington, who warned against entangling foreign alliances, as practiced by most of the European nations. For much of America's history, this council had seemed wise. Yet after World War I, this advice began to seem less effective. The United State Senate's refusal to allow the U.S. to enter the League of Nations, even though its own President, Woodrow Wilson had been critical in the construction of the League, had resulted in the League's inefficacy. Prime Minister of Britain Neville Chamberlain had pursued an isolationist policy as part of Britain's ideology, only to see that nation collapse under its dead weight, under the wake of Hitler's attempt to dominate Europe and bomb England to destruction."

Abstract
The paper looks at the origins of the President's foreign policy powers as enumerated under the Constitution and examines the foreign policy acts of Thomas Jefferson. The paper then focuses on the Monroe Doctrine, reviews the salient features of U.S. foreign policy throughout the nineteenth century, considers the foreign policy doctrines of both Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt, as well as Woodrow Wilson and ends by looking at the modern-day, post-world war II presidencies of Truman, Nixon, Reagan and George W. Bush. The paper argues that the foreign policy doctrines of U.S. presidents - whether in the nineteenth century or the twenty-first - have fundamentally revolved around the projection, expansion and consolidation of American power beyond its borders.
From the Paper
"In the words of Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., the oldest doctrine and/or tradition in American foreign policy was - and is - the doctrine of unilateralism. Specifically, American leaders have always been reluctant to engage in foreign policy alignments - an attitude neatly encapsulated in the inaugural addresses of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson (Schlesinger 3-4). According to the historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., even the Monroe Doctrine, perhaps the first "great" presidential doctrine vis-a-vis foreign affairs, was prompted by a desire to not only seal off South America from European control, but to remind Europeans that America had no desire to involve itself in European matters and would not do so as long as "hemispheric affairs" in the Americas were not meddled in by the European powers (5). In effect, the Monroe Doctrine was really about keeping the diplomatic intrigues and political machinations of Europe firmly located in Europe and/or in remote parts of the world of no (direct) interest to America."

American Foreign Policy in Sub Sahara, 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines American foreign policy towards sub-Saharan Africa, which has demonstrated continuity, for regardless of whether Democratic or Republican administrations have held power in the White House, events in sub-Saharan Africa have rarely been considered important enough to merit American attention. The paper argues that subsequently, American foreign policy attitudes about sub-Saharan Africa over the past thirty-six years can best be described as detached and dismissive.
From the Paper
"Since Richard Nixon's first term as President of the United States, American foreign policy towards sub-Saharan Africa has demonstrated continuity, for regardless of whether Democratic or Republican administrations have held power in the White House, events in sub-Saharan Africa have rarely been considered important enough to merit American attention. Subsequently, American foreign policy attitudes about sub-Saharan Africa over the past thirty-six years can best be described as detached and dismissive. The African continent has generally been considered geo-politically unimportant to the United States, so the American foreign policy establishment has paid little attention to Africa."

Abstract
This paper demonstrates through newspaper articles and television coverage that foreign policy has taken on a different aura in the past decade and whose future progression seems anything but predictable. This is apparent in an examination of current news articles and television coverage, and shows that foreign policy is covered in an entirely new light compared to recent decades.
From the Paper
"Domestic and foreign coverage by the media was strikingly similar during the years leading up to the beginning of the 21st century, with the media basically acting as a propaganda model for the government. However, with the rapid technology boom taking place in the past decade, the media has started to take on a much more proactive role in regards to foreign policy. As articulated by Mark Rozell in Media Power, Media Politics, "the speed, reach and intensity of media coverage of foreign policy are relatively new" (Rozell 235). Technology has advanced at a lightning pace, compared to the fact that the television was just invented in 1926. As the years progressed, technology kept providing new inventions that made it easier and quicker to transfer data over increasing distances. From the telegraph to the internet, data transfer soon came to be instantaneous, covering thousands of miles a second, and made easy as a click of a button."

A persuasive essay cautioning the United States government against too much interference in the policies of other nations.

Abstract
The paper urges the American government to practice a less zealous foreign affairs policy when it comes to influencing the policies of other countries of the world. The author of the paper advises the government to practice an ethical, perhaps hands-off, foreign policy, especially when the United States has a vested financial concern with the other country. The paper gives examples of countries, such as Chile and Nicaragua, where American foreign policy has produced fatal results. Finally, the paper encourages a more balanced approach focusing on the promotion of democracy and peace and not necessarily regime changes, using the current problems between Iraq and the United States as an example.
From the Paper
"At the core of the problem with United States-backed and orchestrated regime changes is the illusory connection between the current "war on terrorism" and Saddam Hussain. Fear mongering is an effective tactic to spur the American public into supporting military action in Iraq. Ousting Saddam Hussain is appealing on many levels, especially following the disastrous events of September 11, 2001. The general public still recalls the horrors of that day and the media has done an effective job in promoting the idea that Iraq is involved. Perhaps the Iraqi government was and is connected with Al Qaeda. What then?"

Abstract
This paper is a brief discussion about how American foreign policy touches almost every aspect of the global world. A brief history of American leaders who pushed the policy of global intervention is provided.
From the Paper
"As Henry Kissinger has pointed out, "Balance of power systems have existed only rarely in human history. The Western Hemisphere has never known one, nor has the territory of contemporary China since the end of the period of the warring states, over 2,000 years ago. For the greatest part of humanity and the longest periods of history, empire has been the typical mode of government. Empires have no interest in cooperation within an international system; they aspire to be the international system. Empires have no need for the balance of power. That is how the United States has conducted its foreign policy in the Americas, and China through most of its history in Asia."

Abstract
This paper explains the origins of hatred in the Middle East linking it to the U.S. Foreign Policy. The author cites examples of US involvement in the region -- emphasizing the US's bias towards Israel over its neighboring countries, Jordan, Egypt etc.
From the Paper
"It is said that U.S. Foreign Policy is to blame for widespread anti-Americanism in the Middle Eastern nations and regions. Major policy critics and politicians for instance Zunes, Chomsky, Telhami, and Blum brought up many important issues that are directly linked to the foreign policy. Political and military actions taken by the United States in the past raised much disapproval and hate in the Muslim world population and planted a cause for the formation of Islamic extremist groups and their followers."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"For many years the Chinese Yuan was pegged to the U.S. dollar and, until recently, this was not a foreign policy issue. However, as the U.S. as well as other markets, have seen their import markets grow far beyond their export markets and consequently maintain extreme trade deficits, the artificial manipulation of the Yuan has now become a matter of foreign policy. Many foreign markets view China's exchange regime, managed float or not, to be an economic weapon and one in which it has not been reticent to utilize."
