• W67261666 abstract "IN THE ABSENCE of a clearly defined major threat to the United States -- a central characteristic of the contemporary post-Cold War world -- American foreign policy has drifted in recent years. Predictably, competing schools of thought have emerged debating what America's priorities should be, reflecting widely varying underlying philosophies about our basic national interests and values. It is no exaggeration to assert that, in today's relative tranquility (relative, at least, compared with the Cold War), many previously undistinguished and truly marginal alternative foreign policies have emerged into the center of our national consideration. Issues and problems that had no chance of commanding the attention of high-level decision makers before the collapse of communism now receive active scrutiny and debate. This is certainly true in the United States, but it is perhaps even more common in other nations that never bore the heaviest burden of defending the West, and hence are quicker to lay aside its discipl ines in the pursuit of other priorities. To identify this phenomenon, of course, is neither to imply that it is desirable nor to accept its tacit rationale -- that there are no more major threats to the United States (such as the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, or the emergence of more classic potential adversary regimes such as the People's Republic of China). Nonetheless, it would be foolhardy for practitioners and scholars to ignore the increasing importance of issues previously considered to be minor, for several reasons. First, principles of international relations and patterns of conduct can emerge from the resolution of seemingly issues that have considerable implications for resolving issues at a later time. Second, the United States is far from immune to the effects of the habits of thinking of our closest allies, and we ignore any erosion of their loyalty to our priorities at our peril. Third, it may well be that what initially seems to be a minor issue can in fact develop into a major threat for the Unite d States, so that no prudent analyst should reject such concerns entirely out of hand. Dealing with undesirable regimes ONE SUCH MINOR ISSUE that the United States confronts with increasing frequency today is the problem of undesirable, undemocratic regimes tenaciously and inconveniently clinging to power, and what to do about them. During the Cold War, when such regimes proliferated on both sides, America displayed a certain tolerance for authoritarian governments because it suited our larger anti-communist interests to do so. This tolerance was part of a larger pattern within our overall containment policy, which also included the rearming of Germany within the North Atlantic Alliance, and abandoning many reform priorities in Japan before they were completed in order to bring it back more quickly to productive status in America's Pacific orbit. While many found (and still find) such associations unseemly, successive American governments took the more realistic view that victory in the anti-communist free-for-all simply had a higher priority. Even during the Cold War, of course, there were instances where unsavory but pro-Western regimes were corrupt, authoritarian, or otherwise undesirable, and where direct, East-West implications were either absent, or where the stakes were not consequential. In the most egregious such cases in years past, if American interests were directly affected, U.S. policy concentrated on eliminating or containing such regimes politically or covertly. For less pressing cases, or regimes that, while odious, were friendly to us, we generally left their futures to the citizens and political-legal processes of the nations themselves. In both contexts, we were typically indifferent as to whether the leadership of such undesirable regimes ended its days in villas on the Riviera, or before motley firing squads of their fellow citizens (or worse). …" @default.
