    U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress

    U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs Michael Moodie Assistant Director and Senior Specialist in Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Updated February 24, 2020 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44891 U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The U.S. role in the world refers to the overall character, purpose, or direction of U.S. participation in international affairs and the country’s overall relationship to the rest of the world. The U.S. role in the world can be viewed as establishing the overall context or framework for U.S. policymakers for developing, implementing, and measuring the success of U.S. policies and actions on specific international issues, and for foreign countries or other observers for interpreting and understanding U.S. actions on the world stage. While descriptions of the U.S. role in the world since the end of World War II vary in their specifics, it can be described in general terms as consisting of four key elements: global leadership; defense and promotion of the liberal international order; defense and promotion of freedom, democracy, and human rights; and prevention of the emergence of regional hegemons in Eurasia. The issue for Congress is whether the U.S. role in the world is changing, and if so, what implications this might have for the United States and the world. A change in the U.S. role could have significant and even profound effects on U.S. security, freedom, and prosperity. It could significantly affect U.S.

New York, New York Vol. XXXV, No. 3 $7.00 a copy ABOUT THIS ISSUE . as the Age of Obama unfolds at warp speed, pro-lifers are buffeted along with conservatives in general—conservatives in this case being all those who wish to conserve some semblance of the, yes, messy democratic institutions we’re being told are in critical need of an Obama-fix. As of this writing the health-care “debate” continues apace, with Democrats still looking to sneak universal abortion coverage into congressional legislation and Republicans (along with a few honorable Demo- crats for Life) still looking to stop them. “I am finally scared of a White House administration,” declares Nat Hentoff—the Human Life Foundation’s 2005 Great Defender of Life who’s always been an equally great defender of liberty—in a syndicated column we reprint here (page 124). Hentoff, unlike some of his liberal brethren, wasn’t scared of declaring himself anti-abortion, which he did in a col- umn back in the 1980s.
