Ending US Unilateralism
Paddy Ashdown & Joseph Ingram | January 14, 2009
With the changing Presidency comes new thinking on policy; how could the US shift away from Bush’s unilateralism towards cooperation with allies and multilateralism? ++ The policy of ‘going it alone’ is failing the US in Iraq and Afghanistan confirming the point that in a globalized, interdependent world unilateralism is insufficient. ++ In its military operations the US needs to involve civilian organizations like the United Nations and allow a greater role for NGOs and allies, to secure long term stability and successful reconstruction.
