Fragmentations: The Collapse of Soviet Union and the effects
Prompt: Fragmentations
The 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union removed one of the in" rel="nofollow">international system's core limits and allowed an "uncorkin" rel="nofollow">ing" of various forces that had been subsumed by superpower conflict. In your in" rel="nofollow">informed and supported opin" rel="nofollow">inion what were the three most critical forces or developments and how did each of the post-Cold War presidents - Bush, Clin" rel="nofollow">inton, and Bush - attempt to address them? How successful were they and why? As you explore this question be sure to draw upon your understandin" rel="nofollow">ing of the debate over the use of US power durin" rel="nofollow">ing the period carefully summarize the respective doctrin" rel="nofollow">ines of Bush, Clin" rel="nofollow">inton, and Bush Admin" rel="nofollow">inistrations. In addition to the assigned readin" rel="nofollow">ings, lectures, and films you may also elect to in" rel="nofollow">incorporate articles drawn from the USFP News Flipboard to support your response.
My thesis and Intro draft you may build on:
After defeatin" rel="nofollow">ing the Axis power durin" rel="nofollow">ing WW2, the USA and USSR remain" rel="nofollow">ined the two superpowers until the end of the Cold War that lasted from 1946 to 1991. Despite cooperation durin" rel="nofollow">ing WWII, the US and the Soviet Union were rivals durin" rel="nofollow">ing the Cold War period. The collapse of the Soviet Union in" rel="nofollow">in 1991 gave rise to various developments that the USA as the only superpower has to deal with. Historians of the Cold War argue that the post-cold war effects still have in" rel="nofollow">influences on major foreign policies and in" rel="nofollow">international relations. They state that post-Cold War forces or developments stretch from several immediate effects to far-reachin" rel="nofollow">ing changes that are still present. In this paper I will argue that the three most important developments in" rel="nofollow">in the post-Cold War period are: 1) the rise of the U.S as the world’s only superpower, 2) fragmentation (globalization and clash of civilization), and 3) the rise of asymmetric conflicts because they are broad enough to in" rel="nofollow">include other post-Cold War forces that have been shapin" rel="nofollow">ing how the leadin" rel="nofollow">ing power, the U.S. acts and reacts to the rest of the world and vice versa. To do this, first, the paper will explore these major post-cold war forces or developments in" rel="nofollow">in details. Then, it will analyze how and why successfully the three post-cold war U.S. presidents: Bush, Clin" rel="nofollow">inton and Bush attempted to address these changes.
Further Notes:
I prefer to keep my in" rel="nofollow">intro with some edits. If you edit by condensin" rel="nofollow">ing and avoidin" rel="nofollow">ing the run-ons sentences (the bold and underlin" rel="nofollow">ined), I will be ok with the in" rel="nofollow">intro and thesis statement. However, I will also be ok if you chose prompt to make major changes to it. Please check “three most important developments” I stated above, I don’t min" rel="nofollow">ind if you make changes to them too. But please keep the first one “the rise of the U.S. as the world’s only superpower” as is. You may also change the paper topic. I have checked the “origin" rel="nofollow">inality box”, so please as origin" rel="nofollow">inal as possible. It would be great if you complete it as soon as possible.
