BUSH’S FORIEGN AND SECURITY POLICY

It Is Not Designed To Offer An Evaluation Of The Totality Of George W. Bush’S Foreign Policy. Instead, The Analysis Will Focus On The Key Aspects Of His Foreign And Security Policy Record, In Each Case Considering The Interplay Between Principle And Pragmatism. The Underpinning Contention Here Is That Policy Formulation And Implementation Across Bush’S Two Terms Can More Usefully Be Analysed In Terms Of Shades Of Grey, Rather Than The Black And White Hues In Which It Has Often Been Painted. Thus, In Some Key Policy Areas It Will Be Seen That The Overall Record Was More Pragmatic And Successful Than His Many Critics Have Been Prepared To Give Him Credit For.
