Book Synopsis Ethics, American Foreign Policy, and the Third World by : David L. Cingranelli
Download or read book Ethics, American Foreign Policy, and the Third World written by David L. Cingranelli and published by Palgrave. This book was released on 1993 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics, American Foreign Policy and the Third World provides a balanced historical analysis of the rhetoric and reality of American foreign policy toward Third World nations, emphasizing the period since the end of World War II. Cingranelli concentrates on the moral dimensions of foreign policy - asking important questions about what should be the goals of American interaction with the Third World. Throughout the book, there is a focus on how American policy has encouraged or hindered the expression of human rights. Cingranelli considers various interpretative approaches to readings of public records and documents. To aid his analysis, he presents a typology of different objectives in foreign policy - Nationalist, Exceptionalist, Progressive, and Radical Progressive. Contrasting the periods before and after World War II, he argues that, despite setbacks and inconsistencies, American foreign policy toward the Third World has increasingly included progressive values toward human rights and democracy.
Book Synopsis Morality and American Foreign Policy by : Robert W. McElroy
Download or read book Morality and American Foreign Policy written by Robert W. McElroy and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most international relations specialists since World War II have assumed that morality plays only the most peripheral role in the making of substantive foreign policy decisions. To show that moral norms can, and do, significantly affect international affairs, Robert McElroy investigates four cases of American foreign policy-making: U.S. food aid to the Soviet Union during the Russian famine of 1921, Nixon's decision to alter U.S. policies on biochemical weapons production in 1969, the signing of the Panama Canal Treaties in 1978, and the bombing of Dresden during World War II. Originally published in 1992. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Book Synopsis Morality and Foreign Policy by : Kenneth W. Thompson
Download or read book Morality and Foreign Policy written by Kenneth W. Thompson and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1982-02-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenneth W. Thompson admits that moral pronouncements and human conduct are often widely separated, particularly in international events. In order to balance harmony and disharmony, world and self-interests, nations observe moral principles less rigidly than do smaller communities. To understand how the separation between pronouncements and conduct widens in matters of foreign policy, Thompson candidly faces such issues as the harsh decisions that countries must make, the need for hypocrisy, and the resulting self-righteousness. Morality and Foreign Policy looks at the assumptions and principles that underlie historic debates about the ethics of foreign policy. Tracing decisions in policy from the 1800s to the present, Thompson views his subject from an American perspective but also concentrates on diverse international contexts in which decisions are made. Thompson cautiously maintains his balance on the fine wire between speaking up for America and embarking on an ideological crusade. He provides such examples from current events as the Bay of Pigs in Cuba and the East-West Cold War to show how easily one can fall on one side or the other. He contrasts the problem of order in America and the Third World and shows how the latter’s is weighted by a special urgency, protest, and antithesis to the democratic process. For Kenneth Thompson, American moral reasoning is “a practical alternative to abstract moralism or hopeless cynicism,” and he holds up this principle as a challenge, not only to other countries but also to America itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can moral behavior exist in a world of states? Under what conditions? Where if at all, do norms for moral behavior, considerations of right and wrong, fit int the relations between states? Drawing upon many historical examples, Stanley Hoffmann examines the complex questions of whether or not ethical action is possible in international politics and, if it is, what are the obstacles and constraints? Duties Beyond Borders tries to answer these questions and to suggest a course of “ethical politics” based on a pragmatic, realistic approach to international politics.

This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this work examine the evolution of U.S. foreign policy toward the Third World, and the new policy challenges facing developing nations in the post-Cold War era. The book incorporates the key assessment standards of U.S. foreign policies directed toward critical regions, including Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. Through this region-by-region analysis, readers will get the information and insight needed to fully understand U.S. policy objectives - especially with regard to economic and security issues in the wake of 9/11 - vis a vis the developing world. The book outlines both successes and failures of Washington, as it seeks to deal with the Third World in a new era of terrorism, trade, and democratic enlargement. It also considers whether anti-Western sentiment in Third World regions is a direct result of U.S. foreign policies since the end of the Cold War.

Book Synopsis The Ethics of Foreign Policy by : David B. MacDonald
Download or read book The Ethics of Foreign Policy written by David B. MacDonald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking volume considers the ethical aspects of foreign policy change through five interrelated dimensions: conceptual, security, economic, normative and diplomatic. Defining ethics and what an ethical foreign policy should be is highly contested. The book includes many very different viewpoints to reflect the strong divergence of opinion on such issues as humanitarian intervention, free trade, the doctrine of preemption, political corruption and human rights. The thematic approach provides this volume with a clear organizational structure, giving readers a balanced overview of a number of important conceptual and practical issues central to the ethical analysis of states' conduct and foreign policy making. An impressive group of international scholars and practitioners, including a New Zealand Foreign Minister, a US National Security Advisor, and an ICJ Justice, makes this volume ideally suited to courses on international relations, security studies, ethics and human rights, philosophy, media studies and international law.

Download or read book Five Uneasy Pieces written by Mark Gibney and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2004-08-27 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans pride themselves on being an ethical people. They go to church, quote the Bible, erect statues, and discuss morality with abandon. They also trust their government to do the right thing when it comes to delivering legal justice and conducting foreign policy. Trouble is, American foreign policy has yielded some pretty spectacular ethical lapses, and (as 9/11 starkly demonstrated) the world is beginning to notice. Here, Mark Gibney lays out some of the most egregious insults the U.S. has visited upon international law, economic justice, and human rights in recent times. He covers everything from multinational corporations, the first Persian Gulf war, and Guantanamo Bay to American refugee policy, foreign aid, and global environmental degradation. Through all these examples, he exposes the discrepancy between the guise of ethical policy motivation and the reality of situational international ethics—or worse. He shows us how we practice 'easy ethics' in an uneasy world, and how it is beginning to catch up with us. Part I concludes with a gallop through the alphabet of countries where the U.S. has engaged in nefarious legal behavior and supported brutal dictatorships—everywhere from Argentina to Zaire. Part II offers a cautious 'coda of hope' in exploring recent trends toward public political apology and forgiveness, new U.S. policies toward AIDS in Africa, and renewed civic commitment flowing out of the tragedy of 9/11. Only when the exercise of American ethics becomes as muscular as our use of military force will the United States become the ethical superpower it projects itself to be. And only then will the concert of nations join us in the harmonization of global governance.
