Hensikten med denne artikkelen er å bidra til diskusjonen om idealismens betydning for USAs utenrikspolitikk. Utgangspunktet er at ideelle hensyn synes å ha fått redusert betydning under Obama og siden Trump. Ettersom den amerikanske idealismen angivelig skriver seg fra en særegen politisk historie og ideologiske tradisjoner med dype røtter i amerikansk samfunnsliv, er denne endringen til å undres over. I teksten lanseres og diskuteres fem hypoteser som kan forklare idealismens bortfall: anti-idealisme, overflodsidealisme, personlighetstrekkidealisme, strukturselektert idealisme og tidsåndsidealisme. Det konkluderes med at bortfallet av idealisme ikke nødvendigvis betyr at USAs egeninteresse blir bedre ivaretatt.
Abstract in English:Idealism's Disappearing ActThe aim of this article is to contribute to the discussion on the role of idealism in U.S. foreign policy. During the Obama and Trump presidencies, the significance of idealistic considerations in U.S. foreign policy has dwindled. The change is remarkable, as the idealistic impulse allegedly stems from ideological traditions deeply rooted in American society as well as a unique political history. From this observation, five hypotheses, apt to explain the diminishing impact of idealism, are suggested and discussed: anti-idealism, abundance induced idealism, idealism by personal bent, structurally selected idealism and zeitgeist idealism. The article concludes that U.S. self-interest is not necessarily better off with a cessation of idealism.

Dissertação de mestrado em Estudos Ingleses ; O movimento de protesto "Tea-Party" tem marcado a agenda política nos Estados Unidos muito por causa da sua oposição ao crescimento do governo federal. O receio de que o país se tenha afastado dos seus princípios constitucionais tem sido o catalisador dos protestos. Esta dissertação tem como objectivo perceber como são entendidos os ideais que estão na base da formação dos Estados Unidos e qual a sua relevância actual. Para tal, serão apresentados os principais valores fundacionais mediante uma leitura dos principais autores e textos que definiram os valores centrais do país. A sua evolução ao longo de alguns dos mais marcantes episódios da história Americana é complementada com reacções de testemunhas e análises contemporâneas. O desvio em relação às aspirações iniciais, especialmente a partir das últimas décadas do séc. XIX, deve-se tanto a Republicanos como a Democratas, sendo que nenhum dos partidos conseguiu encontrar soluções que não assassem por um aumento do poder federal para responder às exigências democráticas e ao envolvimento externo. Os desafios que assim se apresentaram e as respostas encontradas alteraram o equilíbrio constitucional em favor do governo central deixando-o, no entanto, enfraquecido para fazer face a crescentes pressões oligárquicas que se têm vindo a impor. Esta ameaça, conjugada com a influência crescente do Estado federal na vida das pessoas, põe em risco a estrutura democrática do país, anulando assim as esperanças da Revolução. ; The recent Tea-Party protests in the United States have captured the political momentum thanks to their opposition to Big Government. They find a ready audience among those who fear that the country has moved away from its constitutional principles. This dissertation aims to question how the original ideals that inspired the formation of the United States are perceived today and what is their current relevance. In order to do this, the main foundational values are first presented through a reading of the ...

Anti-Americanism never should have emerged as a major force in South Korea. After all, Washington was responsible for the creation of the Republic of Korea in August 1948 and provided major support against North Korea during and after the Korean War. After 9/11, however, American failure to balance means and ends in the pursuit of realistic goals caused anti-Americanism to reach a crescendo because it revived with a new ferocity at least four historical factors: (1) American disregard for Korea and Korean incomprehension of American priorities; (2) American support for Korean military dictatorship; (3) United States military presence in Korea and refusal to deal with incidents of military misconduct in ways that appeared just to Koreans; and (4) American racism. Koreans, however, also do not understand that their nation is not the center of American priorities and expect more from the relationship than Americans are likely to provide. This article traces the development of these factors through the postwar period and the impact of Bush administration unilateralism.
