United States saw a surge in its interests abroad. Before this decade, the U.S. government never asserted their influence over foreign nations as strongly and rapidly. It was a turning point in the history of U.S. foreign policy and two scholars, Fareed Zakaria and Peter Trubowitz, provide very different explanations as to why the United States adapted a new foreign policy and acquired territory abroad in the 1890’s. These dissimilar theories use unique units of analysis to examine this period in

willingness to use terms like “new world order.” Kagan vehemently opposes the belief that the American hegemon is declining in status and power, admitting only that the United States is rethinking its role in foreign policy and international affairs. Kagan is a foreign policy advisor who Barack Obama has reportedly heralded and cited in presidential speeches. One reviewer of books in The New York Times described the author’s work as being “wonderfully argued.” Another claims that glaring logical fallacies
egocentric by nature. Based on the definitions stated above, idealism and realism are significantly different from each other and their divergence of thought is more apparent when various proponents of each such as Woodrow Wilson, Henry Lodge, Barack Obama and George W. Bush have varied outlooks on comparable issues in politics. Subsequently, an idealist’s reaction to a particular issue would be a lot different than a realist’s response. Therefore, idealism deals with normative ideas and allows for

severely mismanaged. I believe a change, a new circulation, and fresh thinking is in order and I believe Sen. Barack Obama is currently the most viable agent of change.

Amateur presidents on the other hand view the presidential role as one that fits him. An amateur president who assumes the role of a clerk is constantly occupied with strategies, strategies to complete one task and move on to the next. One of Neustadt’s primary examples of presidential clerkship is Harry S. Truman’s presidency. Neustadt claims that Truman “saw himself not as a man for whom the job was made, but as a man who had the job to do. He drew his confidence from seeing himself do it (Neustadt
