Washington's misguided Iran policy

Article Abstract:

The Clinton administration should review its policy towards Iran's cleric-dominated regime in the post-Cold War era. The current US policy towards Iran proposes to check Iran's threats to US interests in the world scenario. In reality Iran's regime has failed to become an ideological and military power in the region. While US sanctions failed to change Iran's political scenario, Iran has attributed the failures of revolutionary Islam to the sanctions imposed by US. On the other hand, dialogue initiated by European countries has been more successful in moderating Iran's behavior.

US policy in Bosnia: rethinking a flawed approach

Article Abstract:

United States should reorient its policy in Bosnia-Herzegovina to ensure the political and economic viability of the new separate states. The US policy of resisting separation of Bosnia's Croat, Serb, and Muslim peoples made the mass migrations painful than they would have been in the absence of US forces. While the reconstruction process initiated by the Dayton Agreement has failed to return displaced millions back to their homes, the NATO forces will have to stay in Bosnia beyond 1996. Although the decision to enter the peace process is right, the policy has been flawed.

China-Taiwan: US debates and policy choices

Article Abstract:

The problem between Taiwan and China is one of the most challenging foreign policy issues faced by the US. The US has the option of either interfering, mediating or staying out of the problem between the two countries. It must also decide whether to be clear about its intentions or remain ambiguous. However, regardless of what the US decides, it should not assume that unification is the only solution to the problem.
