Does the US have a post-Cold War international strategy? Describe and explain three central US security interests in the post-Cold War era. What policies have been developed to replace Cold War policies? Is the US acting more as a unilateralist power or a multilateralist power? Why is it leaning in one direction or the other?

Is a coherent policy being developed to address these security interests or is security addressed in an ad hoc manner in the post-Cold War era? Why? Was the pre-emptive war in Iraq a one time event, or is it a pattern that will continue in the future?
