2008: Not So Different After All
April 10th, 2008 by Matt
In a piece published in the most recent issue of the journal World Affairs, Robert Kagan reminds us of the long history of interventionism in the American foreign policy tradition, and discusses the curiousness of the term “neoconservative”. Kagan argues that in today’s American foreign policy, almost every major political figure is part of the same “family” of foreign policy philosophy. Kagan looks extensively at the foreign policy actions and statements of Hillary Clinton (and to a lesser extent, Barack Obama), to illustrate that many strong critics of “neoconservatism” actually hold largely similar views on the projection of American power and principles to those more closely associated with the movement (including, presumably, John McCain).
