Primary: National Interest
Secondary: Military, Sovereignty, Protections

BigV's Foreign Policy Priorities:

Primary: Cooperation
Secondary: Diplomacy, Human Rights


I manually recorded my postions on the various sliding scales:
(all scales 0-10 first to second)


0 1 2 3 4.0 5 6 7 8 9 10
Diplomacy vs Military

0 1 2 3 4 5 6.5 7 8 9 10
Sovereignity vs Human Rights

0 1 2 3 4 5.0 6 7 8 9 10
Protections vs Global Markets

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7.5 8 9 10
National Interest vs Cooperation
I had a problem with this. I feel in many cases it is IN OUR NATIONAL INTEREST to cooperate. You may call it what you will.

An interesting little poll. I may revisit it and read the discussion guides.

The use of the titles is a bit rough. It doesn't account for my centrist leanings. I did it on a center zero to +/-5 scale.

Primary: National Interest
Secondary: Diplomacy, Sovereignty, Global Markets

Diplomacy v Military: -1.5
Good diplomacy is generally the best path to peace and stability. We should use the strength of our alliances and international organizations to accomplish our goals. Military force should be an option only when our security is clearly threatened.

Sovereignty v Human Rights: -0.5
The United States must avoid getting into the "nation building" business, which can be costly, both in terms of money and American lives. We should encourage the development of democracy by setting a good example, and by helping out when asked.

Protections v Global Market: +0.5
Expanding global markets creates stronger ties between nations and helps ensure peace. While globalization does have its costs, on the whole it is beneficial to most people.

National Interests v Cooperation: -2.5
The US cannot solve the world's problems, and it's naive to think that we can. Nations must learn to help themselves, and we should stay focused on pursuing our interests. International organizations are too corrupt and inefficient to do any good.
