US
foreign policy structure from the decades is wavered between the two major
concepts of isolationism and interventionism. When we look at the past policies
of presidential order of US, Bush went for engaging in the world politics and
interventionist outlook, while in the presidential tenure of Barack Obama,
important stand point was back to the normalization to withdraw America from
Wars and focus on American domestic and international progress. US is in the phase of semi isolationism for 8
year as in the tenure of Barack Obama. So, the important question arises here
is, of what policies the coming presidency will imply in the America foreign
policy structure? The important and expected candidates for the presidential
campaign would be Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. The prognosticators are
focusing on explaining the tough campaign and foreign policy perspective of
both candidates on different viewpoints. One of the important lenses through
which we can judge the role of both participants in formulating the foreign
policy structure of US is, their electoral agendas in this serious tremor. Over
the years, the individual personalities and interests of American Presidents
have molded the American image. For the
formulation of important analytical base one of the aspects that is visible in
their foreign policy is of chauvinism or nationalism vs. globalization.
When
we look at the perspective of globalists, they are concerned with the
humanitarian impulsion and self-generating power for the progress of American
people. This self-generating power
system through deceits and ruse though embraced the universal policies of
cooperation and coordination but leads towards aggressive strains and impulse
of domination in the world order. On the other side, nationalists focus on the
self-interest of the nation and don’t want to involve in other matters by
dominating the world proceedings. The concept of
self-development and national interest is their main agenda. They want their country to be more powerful
and don’t care about the fate of other people fraught around until and unless
their fate is linked with their national interest.
Donald
Trump and Hillary Clinton, both, to some extent are portraying the agenda of
chauvinism and globalism. Donald Trump in his speeches focuses on realistic
point of view towards world and considers the national interest and
isolationist agenda for the establishment and rule of America. Safeguarding US and providing policies like
closing borders, economic sanctions on China, taking actions against Muslim and
immigrants, these all policies somehow show the nationalist agenda of Trump. Trump
wants US to go back to partial isolationism and secure its objective. he focuses
on diplomatic cut down and serious sanction rather than military intervention
and he doesn’t care about the world stance towards his agenda and he is
considering hard core policies to keep
America as single major power of the world.
Trump
policies are nationalist in their look as trump wants his country to be
powerful and with plenty of military reach.
He doesn’t care about the fate of other states which are struggling
around. Major issue that is overturning the whole outlook of trump policies is
that rich political neophytes are also anti globalist and this factor promotes
the agenda of nationalism and strengthens the base of Trump in business sector
of America.
One
of the perspectives that is built about Hillary Clinton on the other side, is
of her hawkish policies but when we look at her involvement in Middle Eastern
issues North Korean negotiation and Iran nuclear deal and moves in the South
China sea, they clearly depict her engagement in the world through soft power,
economic cooperation and diplomacy by secrete and direct means. Mrs. Clinton has more of the globalist agenda
and focusing on the underlying correctness in political and economic
terms. She more focuses towards
continuation of Obama policies in more globalist manner as in the new world
order according to globalist states, which are focusing on internationalist
outlook to peruse their objectives. Hillary Clinton on one hand is focusing on
domestic build up to strengthen her political identity and on the other hand
she is working brilliantly with globalist agenda of chasing masses of money
throughout the world to support her ongoing political mechanism in terms of
soft power stance.
Both
of the participants of American election campaign are showing two different outlook
towards American’s coming foreign policy structure. Understanding the
demographic structure of both participants, they have to look at the frustration
with the economic and political system in the past years and need to consider
the corporations, unions and institutional society to vote for them. Both
having different perspective of conservative and unconventional attitude but
they need to look at the ideological terms to strengthen their position.
Just
along with xenophobic agenda Trump cannot sustain the image of America in the
world system as world is now a cosmopolitan society and with these aggressive
policies Trump has raised the concern of world in terms of economics and
politics. Hilary Clinton using the soft power politics is focusing on serving
America’s national interest but one of the major issues that globalists are
facing now a day is of regional prejudice which is flagging the web strands of
Americans in the world politics. One of the important perspectives that is
needed to keep in mind is, of party politics. In recent scenario Hilary Clinton
has support from the party agenda and is somewhat portraying the democratic
perspective while when we look at the Republicans’ stance, Trump is posing
danger to Republicans’ attitude in the political picture which is a concerning
issue for the party. Both of the participants are presenting two different
agendas which in the future might lead to the new outlook of US foreign policy
in the world’s order.
