AMERICA’S UNILATERALISM: The Case of American Attack Toward Iraq in 2003

Abstract

Using the American Studies theory, the American Unilateralism can be analyzed using interdisciplinary approach. Historical data and background are explored to reveal the political and cultural reasons of America’s political attitude towards other countries that tends to be Unilateralist. Post cold war era, America, using its mask of Manifest Destiny, tends to act as the police of the world. It considered itself as the “world’s peace maker”. This fact has made America tends to be more brave in applying its Unilateralism in its foreign policy.
