Comments on: The Obama Doctrine – where is the US going on development and diplomacy? https://oxfamblogs.org/fp2p/the-obama-doctrine-where-is-the-us-going-on-development-and-diplomacy/ How active citizens and effective states can change the world Fri, 14 Jul 2017 12:33:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.15 By: Lauren McAndrews https://oxfamblogs.org/fp2p/the-obama-doctrine-where-is-the-us-going-on-development-and-diplomacy/#comment-2030 Wed, 09 Mar 2011 14:57:40 +0000 http://www.oxfamblogs.org/fp2p/?p=4308#comment-2030 This article promotes positivity, as it details the goals of the QDDR and Senator Clinton’s role in increasing America’s civilian power. Although the aims of the QDDR suggest a divergence from the US’ typically unilateralist ways, it does not account for changes that will be made worldwide. Even though the United States is most responsible and therefore must be most accountable, it needs to be promoted by other superpowers, as well, in order to be most efficient.

Our previous methods have provided disappointing results. Therefore, I believe the QDDR is a constructive, innovative, and responsible way for the United States to foster development around the world.

The big-picture effort is inspiring and does, as you said, bring back the “yes we can” feelings of November 2008. Great article; very interesting.

Good article Duncan. It along the lines of my research
