"Poll question: American foreign policy "
Fri Aug-05-16 12:58 PM by akon

  

          

wondering what your thoughts are.
I feel like there is a growing anti-globalisation sentiment (by both liberals and conservatives), which calls for less external engagement, and more focus on domestic policy.

So… three options (that I can think of). would be great to hear the rationale behind each;
Non-intervention (and what does this mean? america as a non-superpower? not our problem)
Limited intervention – define. Perhaps either economic or military (of if you distinguish between the two explain). I assume economic would mean no international trade agreements (TPP and the likes). And military would be no intervention even in places where there is need for one (leave it to the UN? Or whom?)
Full intervention (cant quite define this, was going to go with status quo – but these few years have been a bit ambiguous vis a vis foreign policy, and the bush years were a lesson in how not to intervene)

Poll result (3 votes)
Non intervention (1 votes)Vote
Limited intervention (1 votes)Vote
Full intervention/ status quo(?) (0 votes)Vote
Other (1 votes)Vote
