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.
