US Foreign Policy in Five Doctrines - Omnibus

Available for 5 days

Justin Webb looks back at five big US foreign policy shifts from the Monroe Doctrine in the 19th century to the post-9/11 strategies of the Bush Doctrine in the early 2000s. He and his guests examine how America’s approach to the world has constantly changed over time. This may help answer a really big question - how radical is the way President Donald Trump deals with the world? Is he really an outlier in US history? Or do his actions reflect the changing patterns of American power?
