| Résumé : |
This study deals with the influence that idealism and realism have on the making and conduct of the United States foreign policy with a particular interest in the foreign policy of President Jimmy Carter. The study examines the significance and meaning of Carter’s foreign policy when his administration came into office in 1977 and place the Carter years in historical perspective. I argue that President Carter saw the world differently than his predecessors and that his foreign policy represented a change from the Cold war policies and patterns that had dominated U.S. foreign policy since WWII.
The Carter administration entered office with an idealistic world order that supplanted the strategies of containment and anticommunism. U.S. foreign policy at the beginning of the Carter’s administration did not operate on the assumptions of realpolitk. Instead it was very much consistent with an approach to international relations based on the idealistic assumptions of morality, preventive diplomacy, negotiations and human rights. Therefore not only did the Carter years reject the strategy of containment as the basis of his foreign policy when he entered office, it can be argued that it represented the first post-Cold War foreign policy since WWII. The research project also examines what explains why the Carter administration ‘s idealistic foreign policy approach met with reversal by his fourth year in office when the Carter administration returned to Cold War realism by reinstating the strategy of containment base on a growing concern with the Soviet Union. The work also attempts to challenge the initial accounts of Carter’s foreign policy that find him a weak, indecisive and inconsistent and finally examine what the implications are for post-Cold War U.S. foreign policy in the future. |
