The Obama Doctrine

The Obama Doctrine refers to the foreign policy principles of President Barack Obama, emphasizing diplomacy and multilateralism over military intervention. It advocates engaging other nations through dialogue and cooperation, particularly in addressing global issues like climate change and terrorism. While it recognizes the need for military action in certain situations, it often favors building coalitions and international consensus. The doctrine reflects a pragmatic approach, balancing American interests with global responsibilities and promoting the idea that the U.S. should lead by example rather than through unilateral military force.
