The Effective Nation Building of Japan
Abstract
Many of the worlds Arabic nations view our attempts at nation- building as U.S. democratic imperialism and dangerous adventurism that destabilizes countries and political regions. In light our current ongoing difficulties in Iraq and our historical failures and successes in nation- building, the United States government should redesign its nation-building policy into a living and adaptive nation-building model in order to support and strengthen our national security policy. The role of our military in effective nation-building is paramount to success. In the past three decades our presidents have either embraced the militarys role in nation-building or railed against military involvement. However, the fact is that whether for or against the premise of our armed forces in nation-building every president in the past three decades has engaged our military in ambitious nation-building missions. Unfortunately, our presidents have also approached each nation-building enterprise with a new label and a new approach irrespective of historical precedents.
