LOPEZ OCEGUERA, Rosa. Adoption of the Foreign Policy of the United States in the 21st Century, and Political Polarization: Notes for an Analysis. UH [online]. 2017, n.284, pp.68-83. ISSN 0253-9276.

The process of adopting the foreign policy of the United States after the September 11 attacks on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001 is analyzed. Some theoretical and methodological aspects of the American foreign policy are closely examined. A contribution to the debate about the existence, or not, of a great strategy designed by the George W. Bush administration after 11-S and equivalent to a National Security Doctrine such as The Monroe Doctrine and the Doctrine of Containment, is made. Finally, basic aspects to be necessarily included in the foreign policy in the American context for it to be considered a great strategy are explained. It was demonstrated that transformations of the American foreign policy were due to, in essence, very specific situations, with its goals having changed little.

Palabras clave : National Security Doctrine; Political Polarization; Political System.
