As the world's first democracy with a written constitution and Bill
of Rights, the United States has stood for global aspirations
toward democratic liberty, equality, and solidarity since its
formation in 1776. However, as it developed into an empire by the
late nineteenth century, the United States also has threatened the
liberties of other peoples, including Native Americans, Hawaiians,
Latin Americans, Asians, and Africans. The American role in world
affairs has long been polarized around two conflicting images and
strategies. In the name of counter-terrorism, the Bush
administration pursued a largely unilateralist policy in the Middle
East and elsewhere. Yet, in the name of protecting its national
sovereignty, the United States also has rejected most of the recent
multilateral treaties that strive to contain violence by fortifying
the rule of international law. A unilateralist strategy also goes
largely against the U.S. postwar multilateralism, which established
the United Nations and its specialized agencies. This volume
explores these contradictions. Contributors include: Kevin P.
Clements, Tom Coffman, Audrey Kitagawa, Jeffrey F. Addicott, Steven
Zunes, Vivien Stewart, Kathy Ferguson, Phyllis Turnbull, Bilveer
Singh, Ibrahim G. Aoude, Richard Falk, Ann Wright, Beverley
Kleever, Linda Groff, George Kent, Majid Tehranian, Mohammad Ali,
Terrence Paupp, Gillian Young, Mihay Simaii, and David Krieger. The
annual publication Peace & Policy, sponsored by the Toda
Institute for Global Peace and Policy Research, is now in its ninth
year. It is dedicated to providing a forum for the discussion of
all issues concerning peace, policy, and the rights and
responsibilities of global citizenship. This latest volume fulfills
that commitment.
