- Title
RHETORICAL CONSTRUCTIONS OF GLOBAL COMMUNITY: PRESIDENTS AND THE UN.
- Authors
Barnes, Andrew D.; Stuckey, Mary E.
- Abstract
The article examines U.S. foreign policy since the creation of the United Nations (UN) in 1942, examining how U.S. Presidents have addressed the UN during foreign policy struggles like the Cold War. The essay argues that following the end of the Cold War, Democratic and Republican Presidents like George H.W. Bush and Barack Obama started to change their rhetoric towards the UN. Topics include how the Cold War provided American presidents with straightforward justifications for America's foreign policy, a discussion of the role of the UN in American foreign policy in the twentieth century, and how presidents have changed their foreign policy in order to obtain support from the international community in the twenty-first century.
