Study Notes

Multilateralism to Unilateralism

  • Bill Clinton's policy of expanding democracy became increasingly interventionist.
  • This policy aligned with the belief in American exceptionalism (Manifest Destiny).
  • The US military intervention became frequent across continents, establishing the US as a global power.
  • The 9/11 attack caused a national trauma.
  • This led to the US abandoning multilateralism and engaging in a "War on Terror" under Bush.
  • The US led a coalition to invade Afghanistan following 9/11.
  • In 2003, the US invaded Iraq, without UN approval, due to suspected weapons of mass destruction.
  • These actions, characterized by unilateralism by the US, strengthened anti-American sentiment.
