Presidential doctrines.

Books boeken nova biomedical hardcover oktober 2003: The terrorist attacks against the United States on 11 September 2001 prompted a president who had until then largely been disinterested in international affairs to a new level of commitment to foreign policy. So too did the tragedy renew American awareness of the precarious state of national security even in the post-Cold War era.

As so often has occurred in American history the events also occasioned a new approach to national security policy conceived in the specific threat fashioned by the international environment and reflecting the presidents worldview and ideological orientation. As is the case of the events threats themselves the national security response they foster is often so dramatic that it comes to define the presidency of its maker influence affairs far beyond Americas borders and dictate US foreign and national security policy for years to come.

Shifts in US national security thinking of this magnitude are referred to as presidential doctrines. Often these doctrines -- axioms that bear the presidents name -- have been delivered in a major address by the president such as a speech to a joint session of Congress.

The first presidential doctrine was announced by President James Monroe on 2 December 1823 during his seventh annual message to Congress. An international version of this phenomenon would be Winston Churchills Iron Curtain speech.

Such was also the case when President George W. Bush addressed the nation in the immediate aftermath of the 911 terrorist attacks.

This new and thought-provoking book examines American national security policies in the 20th century the century in which America rose to superpower or hyperpower status. The same policies will probably determine how long she holds such a powerful position.
