Inconsistent Application of American Foreign Policy
Presenter(s)
Austin Morris
Abstract
Much literature on American Foreign Policy literature often brings the concept of isolationism into focus and how it's shaped our attitudes around the globe for all of American history. However, isolationism seems to come in waves where its applied, or at least attempted, and then ignored. I believe the reason for the waves of inconsistency we see in our history is not due to a true back and fourth belief in isolationism but that our literature and belief on the subject does define it well enough to adjust for a complex issues. I believe instead of a one size fits all definition, we need to incorporate multiple separate ideas of isolationism and that will help us better understand the waves of application. In a survey students will be asked to assess their ideal viewpoint of an overall American Foreign Policy and to be compared to their answers on exact foreign policy issues of today to see if there is a discrepancy to highlight the need for multiple categories of isolationism.
