Foreign Policy

Introduction

It has been observed in the starting of the twentieth century that U.S was not as dominant global force as it was in the earlier times.

With no boundaries or borders, the reality of new international demonstrates no less challenge for the policy makers and military of US. Today, the president of US has numerous devices at his disposal in carrying foreign policy. It has been observed that Ambassadors, Diplomats and other advisors are greatly fulfilling and using their roles as they used to do in the earlier centuries (Huntington, 1993).

It has been predicted that U.S would face the challenge in the coming years which seems to be a complete removal from the challenges of twentieth century.
