Description
Abstract Not since the Roman Empire has any nation had as much economic, cultural and military power as the United States does today. In light of the session's concern to appreciate the relevance of history to understanding current international affairs, this paper will discuss the regularly noticed but under conceptualized behavioral pattern of the American presidency that strongly influences the shaping of U.S. foreign policy. The goal is to provide a corrective emphasis on the controversies surrounding the response of George W. Bush to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the resulting "Bush Doctrine." A response often described as a "neoimperial vision in which the United States arrogates to itself the global role of setting standards, determining threats, using force and meting out justice" in the world community.
