Activity In foreign policy, presidents tend to take one of two approaches to engagement with other countries. Generally, a foreign policy decision is either
a multilateral decision, secured by the agreement of multiple allies before being implemented, or a unilateral decision, made by the country in
question without regard for garnering support from allies.
Read this article to learn about foreign policy topics that dominated the start of George W. Bush's second term in office. Pay particular
attention to the sections on the war in Iraq. Then write 2-3 paragraphs to address the following topics.
Determine whether President Bush wanted to implement a more unilateral or multilateral approach to the war. Drawing on what you have
learned in this lesson, speculate on why this was the president's approach. Also, speculate about obstacles that stood in the way of this approach.

The world has transformed rapidly in the decade since the end of the Cold War. An old system is gone and, although it is easy to identify what has changed, it is not yet clear that a new system has taken its place. Old patterns have come unstuck, and if new patterns are emerging, it is still too soon to define them clearly. The list of potentially epoch-making changes is familiar by now: the end of an era of bipolarity, a new wave of democratization, increasing globalization of information and economic power, more frequent efforts at international coordination of security policy, a rash of sometimes-violent expressions of claims to rights based on cultural identity, and a redefinition of sovereignty that imposes on states new responsibilities to their citizens and the world community.1

These transformations are changing much in the world, including, it seems, the shape of organized violence and the ways in which governments and others try to set its limits. One indication of change is the noteworthy decrease in the frequency and death toll of international wars in the 1990s. Subnational ethnic and religious conflicts, however, have been so intense that the first post-Cold War decade was marked by enough deadly lower-intensity conflicts to make it the bloodiest since the advent of nuclear weapons (Wallensteen and Sollenberg, 1996). It is still too soon to tell whether this shift in the most lethal type of warfare is a lasting change: the continued presence of contested borders between militarily potent states—in Korea, Kashmir, Taiwan, and the Middle East—gives reason to postpone judgment. It seems likely, though, that efforts to pre-
