摘要:The criticism levelled at the American foreign policy revolves around three lines of objections. The first is that the USA lacks a global vision of its role in the international arena. The second line of criticism refers to the limitations of the domestic context i.e. the rise of isolationist tendencies and aspirations in the American society. The third group includes perhaps the most serious developments, since they find their rationale in the institutional solutions of the American foreign policy, particularly in the claims about the restricted foreign policy capacities of the American executive.
