Book Introduction and Review: America's Role in Nation Building from Germany to Iraq مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

The final conclusion of the report regarding Iraq shows that humanitarian goals or assistance to peace and democratization are all pretexts that America uses to carry out operations in geopolitically sensitive regions to help consolidate its own global hegemony; and as long as such actions are carried out with such goals and are in conflict with the interests and identity of the people of the target countries, one should not hope that nation-building programs will lead to deep transformations and the consolidation of democratic foundations in such societies. In the cases of Bosnia and Kosovo, the factor that led to success was the alignment of the manipulation of the people's identity with the goals and intentions of the nation-building forces; thus, it facilitated the nation-building process, but in Afghanistan or Iraq, this issue faces conflict, and therefore, the nation-building process does not proceed according to the plan of its managers. The authors believe that in the Balkans, where nation-building programs were pursued in two cases (Bosnia and Kosovo), military operations were led by the United States; present in Japan has been less than Bosnia, Kosovo, and Germany relative to the population, and the amount of aid received per capita is also less; however, the economic growth that Japan experienced during the Korean War led to its economic prosperity. However, in the author's view, the example of Japan, which has undergone a successful nation-building program, contradicts this claim; because the number of forces the massive amounts of foreign aid; Haiti has received the least amount of aid and has also had the slowest economic growth.
