The document discusses several US presidential doctrines throughout history: - The Monroe Doctrine (1823) stated the US would not involve itself in European affairs and viewed further European colonization in the Americas as hostile. - The Truman Doctrine (1947) aimed to contain communism by providing political, economic, and military aid to democratic countries facing external communist pressure. - The Nixon Doctrine (1969) expected US allies to take responsibility for their own defense, with the US and UN providing support as requested. - The Bush Doctrine (post-2001) declared the US would make no distinction between terrorists and countries that harbor them, allowing preemptive self-defense actions against terrorist threats.

Bush doctrine by @JWongi
Presentation slides for World Issues class in high school. I'm 12th grade in CheongShim International Academy. Designed these slides to elaborate about Bush Doctrine and its implications. Enjoy.
Bush Doctrine - Philosophy of Transporting Democracy through Coercion
George W. Bush claimed the U.S. presidency during a time when it was a global hegemon. In response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Bush combined his religious beliefs with democratic liberalism to continue spreading democracy through unilateral force, disregarding international law. Bush's coercive diplomacy and promotion of democracy in the Middle East increased Muslim extremism and terrorism. While the U.S. became a dominant superpower, Bush's reliance on force over diplomacy damaged relations with allies and may have exacerbated security issues in the long run.
W. Bush Foreign Policy
The document discusses several key events from 2001-2007 including 9/11 terrorist attacks, US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, global war on terror, and foreign policy issues involving North Korea, Iran, Libya, and Israel-Palestine. It provides details on military operations, costs of wars, leaders involved, and diplomatic agreements or tensions between countries.
Bush and the Global war on Terror
The Bush era has seen remarkable change in the US foreign policy. After 9/ 11 attacks, President Bush (the son) initiated the Bush Doctrine and started his war on terror which had such implications as the invasion of Afghanistan in 2011, and the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Bush powerpoint
George W. Bush served as President of the United States from 2001-2009. During his presidency, he oversaw the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. His domestic policies included tax cuts, education reform with No Child Left Behind, and a prescription drug program for seniors. Major events during his presidency included Hurricane Katrina and the Virginia Tech shooting. On the international stage, he dealt with North Korea's nuclear program and sought peace between Israel and Palestine.
War on Terror by U.S Government
The document analyzes whether the US is winning the war on terror. It discusses the US campaigns in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq since 2001, which have cost over $1.4 trillion and resulted in hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties. However, terrorist activities and attacks have increased over 600% according to some reports. Military force alone has not been able to eradicate terrorism. Education of children to prevent the rise of new terrorists is also needed but has not been adequately addressed. Overall, the conclusion is that the US is not winning the war on terror.
Global war on terror
This document provides an overview of terrorism and the global war on terror. It defines terrorism and discusses its origins and history. It outlines different types of terrorism such as civil, political, non-political, and state terrorism. It discusses major terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, and the Taliban. It also covers the 9/11 attacks and modern terrorism. Finally, it outlines the roles of different countries and organizations in the global war on terror, including the US, UN, NATO, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
War On Terror Source Article
The document discusses the ongoing War on Terror and President Obama's plan to send 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. It notes that the War on Terror will soon enter its ninth year. An anti-war organization, A.N.S.W.E.R., opposes sending more troops, arguing that the War on Terror is a misleading term and that the real goal is imperial domination of oil-rich regions. A.N.S.W.E.R.'s coordinator says the conflict is not about protecting Americans but pursuing geopolitical objectives through military force. The U.S. has spent nearly $1 trillion on the War on Terror since 9/11 according to a congressional report.

Justness of war on terror
The document discusses the justness of the war on terror based on Just War Theory. It provides an overview of Just War Theory principles such as just ad bellum (right to go to war) and just in bello (right conduct within war). It then examines various US-led wars and operations following 9/11, such as the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and analyzes them in relation to Just War criteria. Key impacts discussed include human rights violations, effects on globalization, and implications for citizens in free vs. terrorist-designated nations.
Today's War on Terror
This was a presentation given the High School students on the War on Terrorism and today's terrorism in the world.
Origins of the War on Terror
The document provides background on the origins of the War on Terror leading up to 9/11. It discusses the Cold War between the US and USSR, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan which led to the US training mujahideen fighters like Osama Bin Laden. After the Soviets withdrew, Afghanistan descended into civil war. Bin Laden formed Al Qaeda and the Taliban rose to power in Afghanistan, hosting Al Qaeda training camps. Al Qaeda launched several attacks against US interests in the 1990s, leading up to the 9/11 attacks where they hijacked and crashed four planes in a coordinated terrorist attack that killed nearly 3,000 people.
The Project for the New American Century (Samenvatting)
The Project for the New American Century. The PNAC document described four "Core Missions" for the American military. The two central requirements are for American forces to "fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars," and to "perform the 'constabulary' duties associated with shaping the security environment in critical regions."
Soc345 lect3 911_america_part_1
The document discusses the changes that occurred in America after 9/11, including changes to domestic and foreign policy under Bush and Obama. It examines the official and unofficial explanations for the 9/11 attacks. It also analyzes the US response, including the creation of the 9/11 Commission, changes to government agencies, and the wars launched in Afghanistan and Iraq.
U.S. Involvment in the Middle East Paper
This document discusses two instances of outside interference in the Middle East by the United States and the United Nations' involvement. It summarizes that the UN reacted slowly to Iraq's invasion of Iran but quickly condemned Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, showing how the UN serves great powers' interests. It also discusses how declassified documents show the CIA orchestrated a coup in 1953 to overthrow Iran's prime minister and reinstate a pro-Western shah to protect Western oil interests, acting unilaterally without international consent.
Post-9/11 American Society
The document discusses how society changed after 9/11, with quotes highlighting that life was very different before and after. It outlines topics to be covered such as domestic policy changes, social/cultural impacts, and attitudinal changes in Americans. Rituals like flag displays and memorials helped create solidarity. Surveys showed increased surveillance support and unfavorable views of Arabs/Muslims initially after 9/11.
Henry lewis stimson
Henry Lewis Stimson was an American statesman who served as Secretary of War under Republican presidents and Secretary of State under a Republican president. As Secretary of State, he articulated the Stimson Doctrine in 1931, which announced American opposition to Japanese expansion in Asia and said the US would not recognize territorial gains made through illegal aggression. The Stimson Doctrine supported the idea that legal rights cannot be obtained through illegal actions like using force. NATO eventually took on a leading role in Afghanistan beginning in 2003 to train Afghan security forces after the US invasion in response to 9/11, transferring full security responsibility to Afghanistan in 2014. The US also invaded Iraq in 2003 over issues related to weapons of mass destruction, though weapons inspectors said cooperation was

President Nixon pursued détente with the Soviet Union and China, normalizing relations with the latter through his historic 1972 trip. He also oversaw the beginnings of SALT talks and arrangements to end US involvement in Vietnam and achieve peace agreements in the Middle East. However, the Watergate scandal emerged and ultimately led to Nixon's resignation in 1974 due to his role in covering up the burglary of Democratic headquarters.
Operation Enduring Freedom
Operation Enduring Freedom was launched in October 2001 in response to the 9/11 attacks. The U.S. demanded that the Taliban hand over Osama bin Laden and destroy terrorist camps, but the Taliban refused. The U.S. began bombing al-Qaeda and Taliban forces. Key battles included the Battle of Tora Bora in late 2001, where around 220 terrorists were killed. By 2004, Hamid Karzai had been elected as Afghanistan's first democratic leader. The operation continues today with support from over 50 countries and has rebuilt infrastructure, though insurgent attacks persist.
War in afghanistan2011
Afghanistan has a population of 32 million and has faced decades of conflict and instability. It has been conquered by various empires throughout history and gained independence from Britain in 1919. In the late 1970s, it experienced a civil war and Soviet invasion, which led to a rise in Taliban control and harboring of Al-Qaeda in the late 1990s. After the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US, which were planned by Al-Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the US launched Operation Enduring Freedom to remove the Taliban regime for protecting Al-Qaeda and capture bin Laden. While the Taliban was removed from power, conflict has continued as the Taliban has regained strength and the country remains politically
Pakistan and war on terror
1) Joining the US-led war on terror after 9/11 had both benefits and costs for Pakistan. It helped Pakistan overcome sanctions and gain economic/military assistance, but also resulted in heavy security and economic costs domestically.
2) Pakistan faced difficult foreign policy choices in revising its Afghan policy and balancing support for Kashmir independence while cooperating with the US.
3) Unilateral US drone strikes inside Pakistan fueled anti-American sentiment and made counterterrorism efforts more difficult, while also threatening Pakistan's sovereignty. Overall, Pakistan paid a heavy price for its role in the US-led war on terror.
War on Terror: The United States' History in the Middle East
The United States' relationship with the Middle East has been shaped by centuries of religious, political, and military conflicts between Western and Islamic powers. Key events included the Crusades, the decline of the Ottoman Empire after WWI and the establishment of nation states, and the Arab-Israeli conflict over religious claims to Jerusalem and Israel. In the late 20th century, the U.S. supported anti-Soviet mujahideen in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war, angering Osama bin Laden. The 9/11 terrorist attacks prompted the U.S. to launch the War on Terror, beginning with the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. However, the legacy and outcomes of U
Binary Discourse in U.S. Presidential Speeches from FDR to Bush II
The contemporary study of American Presidential rhetoric is of great significance. Politics is very largely the use of language. Presidential speech and action increasingly reflect the opinion that speaking is governing. In fact, the power of the presidency depends on its ability to persuade. The application of power is often legitimized through rhetorical persuasion; and, in the case of American Presidents, such power, and its associated rhetoric, becomes the fulcrum upon which many global issues turn
WAR IRAQ VS KWAIT
The document discusses US foreign policy and involvement in various conflicts over several decades. It summarizes the US's two-track policy of supporting both Iran and Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war to prolong the conflict. It also discusses the US initially giving Saddam Hussein the impression it would not intervene in Iraq's invasion of Kuwait but then leading a coalition against Iraq. The document provides timelines of US involvement in Afghanistan, including supporting mujahideen groups and the emergence of the Taliban, as well as interventions in other countries like Indonesia, Philippines and Venezuela.
obama
The document discusses several US presidents and events related to terrorism from 1977 to 2001. It mentions the Iran hostage crisis under Jimmy Carter, attacks on US embassies and ships in the 1980s, Saddam Hussein's violations of treaties in the 1990s, terrorist attacks in the 1990s under Bill Clinton including the 1993 WTC bombing and 1998 US embassy bombings, and the 9/11 attacks under George W. Bush. It also discusses the US response to these events under different presidents, including the Gulf War and war in Afghanistan.

Presidents Truman-Ford
Harry Truman became president in 1945 after FDR died. He oversaw the end of WWII and began several domestic programs. However, he faced opposition to much of his "Fair Deal" agenda and ended his presidency very unpopular with only a 22% approval rating. Dwight Eisenhower succeeded him as a Republican. He continued Truman's Cold War containment policy and helped establish several defense pacts. John F. Kennedy was elected in 1960 and proposed an ambitious "New Frontier" agenda, but was assassinated in 1963.
Bush and Obama
George W. Bush served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009. He is the eldest son of George H.W. Bush, the 41st U.S. President. Barack Obama is the current 44th President of the United States. He is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School and was the first African American U.S. President. Both presidents dealt with major events during their terms including the September 11th terrorist attacks for Bush and the economic recession for Obama.

Week 11, the roles of president
The document outlines the roles of the President in the US foreign policy making process. It discusses that the President determines foreign policy, organizes related government departments, and negotiates treaties with other nations. The President can respond to foreign events, propose legislation, negotiate agreements, and take independent actions to constitute foreign policy. Congress then advocates for, changes, or approves the President's plans. The President receives advice from bodies like the National Security Council, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, CIA head, and Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Week 10, gallup poll & public opinion
The document discusses public opinion polling and the Gallup Poll. It defines public opinion as the values and attitudes people hold about issues, events, and personalities. Values represent deep-rooted ideals that shape perceptions, while attitudes or opinions can change. The Gallup Poll samples a representative cross-section of the population to forecast voting preferences. George Gallup started modern political polling in the US in the 1930s with scientific sampling methods. For accurate results, polls must use random sampling, objective wording, and cost-efficient contact methods.
Week 9, the second party system democrats & whigs
The document summarizes the Second Party System in the United States from 1816-1850s. It describes how the Democratic-Republican party broke into the Democrats and Whigs after Andrew Jackson's election in 1828. This started a new era of fierce campaigning between the Democratic and Whig parties, directly engaging more ordinary voters. The parties differed on views of government's role in the economy, with the Whigs supporting active promotion and Democrats emphasizing less involvement. This two-party system defined American politics until the 1850s when slavery became a divisive issue.
Week 8, iowa caucus
The document discusses the Iowa Caucus process. It begins with defining a caucus as a party meeting where members discuss candidates and select delegates for the next round of conventions. It then provides details on Iowa specifically, noting that Iowa was the first state to hold its caucus in 1972 and it has remained first since. The purpose of the Iowa Caucus is to discuss presidential candidates and select delegates to represent Iowa voters at the party conventions. The document outlines the caucus systems used by the Republican and Democratic parties in Iowa.

Teori Kritis dikembangkan oleh ilmuwan Jerman yang dikenal sebagai Frankfurt School. Mereka memandang bahwa sifat manusia tidak tetap melainkan dibentuk oleh kondisi sosial, dan teori-teori ilmu sosial selalu memiliki kepentingan dan ideologi tertentu. Frankfurt School berfokus pada ekonomi dan emansipasi politik untuk memberdayakan manusia agar mampu meraih self-determination dan menghapus ketidakadilan.
Week 7, the inherent powers of the president
The document discusses the inherent powers of the U.S. president that are not clearly defined in the Constitution but are derived from it. There is debate around inherent powers as they are not explicitly mentioned. Examples of inherent powers discussed include the power to engage in war, foreign surveillance, detaining enemy combatants, coercive interrogation, executive privilege over classified information, and emergency powers. Historical examples of cases where inherent powers were exercised are provided.
Week 6, the making of an act - from bill to act
The document outlines the process a bill goes through to become a law, from its introduction in either the House or Senate through committee reviews, floor debates and votes, reconciliation if different versions pass each chamber, and final presidential action. Key steps include referral to committees for review, markups and amendments, committee reports and floor debates, reconciliation if needed, and final signing or veto by the president for the bill to become an enacted law.
Week 5, recruitment of members of ho r
The document discusses the recruitment process for members of the US House of Representatives. It begins by noting there are currently 435 representatives, with the number adjusted every 10 years based on population changes. Candidates must be at least 25 years old, a US citizen for at least 7 years, and a resident of the state they want to represent. Each state holds elections for its representatives, with the legislature originally setting the time and rules for elections. The process involves public campaigning followed by elections in each state legislature to choose the representatives, who will then introduce bills and serve on committees related to their state.

Week 3, montesquieu's separation of power
Montesquieu established the idea of separation of powers in his work The Spirit of Laws published in 1748. He argued that governmental power should be divided among legislative, executive, and judicial branches to prevent the concentration of power. This introduced the concept of trias politica, or separation of powers, which later inspired constitutions like the United States Constitution. The legislative branch enacts laws, the executive branch implements and administers policy, and the judicial branch interprets laws and settles legal disputes.
Week 2, Colonial Political System
The document summarizes the different types of colonial political systems in British North America: royal colonies, charter colonies, and proprietary colonies. Royal colonies were directly ruled by the English monarchy and had governors appointed by the king. Charter colonies were granted self-governance through a royal charter and could elect their own governors. Proprietary colonies were granted to proprietors who had full governing rights and appointed governors. All colonial governments had a governor with executive power, a legislature consisting of an elected lower house and appointed upper house, and followed certain basic principles like elected legislatures and democratic systems, though not all citizens could vote.
