United States Unknown Policy Relations To International Politics

INTRODUCTION:

A unknown policy is a policy that governs, or gives directives on how a state relates with other state and non-state actors on the international scene. It is usually broad in that it governs issues of military, economic as well as trade. In many countries including the United States the head is usually the chief negotiator of the unknown policy.

The unknown relations of the United States are highly influential on the planet stage.

The officially stated goals of the unknown policy of the United States, as mentioned in the Unknown Policy Agenda of the U.S. Specialty of State, are “to make a more secure, free, and prosperous planet for the benefit of the American people and the international community.”[1] In addition, the United States House Committee on Unknown Affairs states as some of its jurisdictional goals: “export controls, including nonproliferation of nuclear technology and nuclear hardware; measures to foster commercial intercourse with unknown nations and to safeguard American business abroad; International commodity agreements; international education; and protection of American citizens abroad and expatriation.”[2].

HISTORY OF AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY

America’s unknown policy has been changing since independence in 1776. There are times when it was sloping to isolationism, at other times selective engagement and others containment. The unknown policy is also widely associated with the military. In the case of the United States the head is the chief negotiator of the unknown policy through the agency of unknown affairs headed by the desk of state, who is the primary conductor of state-to-state diplomacy.

In the united states the Head is also Commander in Chief of the military, and as such has broad authority over the armed forces once they are deployed whether for domestic or for the purposes of the international community. Due to the fact that the head has veto powers within the country the executive has been able to implement unknown policy decisions at the expense of the legislature. Some of the recent examples of this are the governments’ choice to wage war in Afghanistan and Iraq. In this regard the executive has also widely kept the legislature in the dark concerning the CIA and us military operations overseas especially on the issue of their humanitarian records and treatment of terrorist suspects in CIA detention camps overseas.

The United States is one of the two largest democracies in the planet the other being India. As thus the United States government should have given the legislature the privilege of being a major partner in formulating the unknown policy. Instead the executive has gone ahead to even defy the doctrines of the United Nations to which it is a signatory. In so doing the public has been kept in the dark on issues that even though they don’t affect them directly they are still of an vital nature.

American unknown policy has been the subject of much debate and criticism both domestically and abroad. Charges of unenthusiastic influence have been levied even in countries traditionally considered allies of the United States.[3]This has been mainly so since the unknown policy is designed in a way that it is only excellent if and only if the recipient country is willing to play by U.S terms if not so then everything changes.

CONCLUSION:

The American unknown policy can be seen as an additional room of the executive this is because many policy decisions even if they are discussed by the house of representatives the executive implements them to its own terms. This has caused many unenthusiastic criticisms from both domestically and internationally since even when an issue is approved by the house of representatives the executive has had a tendency of over implementing the policies turning excellent intentions into a terrible policy implementation.
