Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper begins with a survey of some of the literature analysing American foreign policy under the administration of George W. Bush. It then goes on to argue that the Bush National Security Strategy, which calls for ‘a balance of power which favours freedom’, in truth rejects a balance of power approach to international order. Instead, it foresees the cooperation of all great powers under American leadership to further a common agenda of basic goals assumed to be founded in universal values. Such rejection of a balance of power represents a coherent evolution from America’s long tradition of foreign policy thought. Emerging from its founding tradition of separation from the European international system, the United States was influenced both by Theodore Roosevelt’s advocacy of military strength in the service of good, and, perhaps even more so, by Woodrow Wilson’s ideological conviction that American engagement in the world could be made conditional on the reform of the international system, and indeed other states’ domestic systems, in line with American values and practices. The conviction that this Wilsonian ‘deal’ is still valid, combined with a Roosevelt-esque belief in the need to back idealism with force, provides the ideological bedrock of this administration’s strategic outlook. Hence, the Bush worldview should not be seen as a radically new phenomenon, but as a logical outgrowth from the American foreign policy tradition.
