Assignment 2: Current Events and U.S. Diplomacy
Due Week 9 and worth 175 points
This paper will be a revised and expanded version of the first
research paper. Based on your instructor’s feedback, you will
first revise the first paper.
Write three-to-four (3-4) new pages that address the following:
1. Define presidential doctrine and summarize the regional or
global events during the Cold War leading up to the formation
of the presidential doctrine you wrote about in Assignment 1.
2. Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1 and
describe the Cold War relationship that existed between the
country you selected and the U.S. before the presidential
doctrine was announced.
3. Describe the relationship that currently exists between the
U.S. and the country you selected in section (2) above.
4. Describe the effect that the presidential doctrine has had on
regional or global affairs since it was announced during the
Cold War.
5. Assess whether or not the presidential doctrine you wrote
about in Assignment 1 doctrine had had the intended effect of
altering the behavior of the country you selected in section (2)
above since the doctrine was first announced.
6. Use at least four (4) quality academic resources in this

assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify
as academic resources.
To help you understand this assignment further, the following
description and examples may be useful.
Step 1: Define doctrine and identify why a president would
want to announce one.
A doctrine is an ideological platform that a president uses to
advance a policy towards a country or region in order to
accomplish foreign policy goals for the United States, so you
will need to expand on this theme.
Refer back to Assignment 1, and build on whatever doctrine
you wrote about then. Say, for example, you selected the
Truman Doctrine. Therefore, this is the only thing you will
write about in Assignment 2 step 1.
Step 2: Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1 and
describe the Cold War relationship that existed between it and
the U.S.
Before the presidential doctrine was announced. In the case of
Truman, you would pick either the Soviet Union, Greece, or
Iran, since all three were affected by his doctrine. If you are
writing about the Eisenhower Doctrine, you would choose
Lebanon or Egypt; if you wrote about the Kennedy Doctrine,
you would have write about Cuba or Vietnam; if your wrote
about the Nixon Doctrine, you would choose either Vietnam,
Saudi Arabia or Iran; if you chose Carter, you would select
either Iran or Afghanistan; and if you wrote about the Reagan
Doctrine, you would select Nicaragua, Angola, Russia or
Afghanistan (although there were several others).
Step 3: Describe what effect the presidential doctrine you chose
has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced
during the Cold War.
That is, how did the doctrine change the status quo regionally
or globally after it was announced by the U.S.? What happened

in Western Europe after the Truman Doctrine was announced?
What happened in the Middle East after the Eisenhower
Doctrine was announced? What happened with Cuba or
Vietnam after Kennedy offered up his doctrine of flexible
response? What happened in Southeast Asia or the Persian Gulf
after the Nixon Doctrine went in effect? What happened in the
Middle East after the Carter Doctrine was announced? What
happened in Central America or Africa or the Middle East after
Reagan announced his doctrine?
Step 4: Refer back to the country you selected in step two and
describe the relationship that currently exists between the U.S.
and that country.
How has the relationship changed between the U.S. and that
country since the doctrine was announced?
Step 5: Evaluate whether or not the presidential doctrine had
had the intended effect of altering the behavior of the one
country you selected in section (2) above since the doctrine
was first announced.
Your assignment must:
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size
12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow
APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for
any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment,
the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and
