American interventionism
American interventionism refers to the United States' policy of actively involving itself in global affairs, often through military actions, diplomacy, or aid, to influence international events. This approach aims to support national interests, promote stability, or spread democracy, but it can also lead to complex consequences, including conflict or unintended outcomes. The balance of interventionism balances the desire to shape world affairs with considerations of sovereignty and costs. Critics worry it can lead to overreach, while supporters see it as necessary for maintaining global stability and security.
