Assignment: You have recently been elected as a Republican to the Texas Senate from a competitive district (even number of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents) just outside of Dallas.

What is the ideal foreign policy doctrine for the Twenty-First Century?

Why? In responding to these problems, would you pursue a liberal-internationalist policy, a realist policy, or a neo-conservative policy, or something else? Why? Would you work multilaterally or unilaterally? Diplomatically or militarily or via some combination of both? How would you manage economics and trade? Security and security policy?  How central should US economic, military, and cultural power be in maintaining the international system? Why? What similarities and differences between the Bush, Obama, and Trump Doctrines exist? What does the Trump Administration get right and wrong in its approach?  What values should inform US foreign policy, and why? What is (are) the best way(s) for the US to address these problems? Should the US develop an ad hoc foreign policy or articulate a “universal” doctrine or an “organizing principle” in response? Why? Is the US wrong to abdicate its central role in maintaining the core system (Haass, Drezner, etc.), or are US interests best served by pursuing unilateral interests?   Should the US seek an “indispensable,” “money-ball,” or “independent” America strategy (Bremmer)?
