World Affairs Council Presents The Godfather Doctrine: Understanding American Foreign Policy March 5, 2009

The three leading schools of American foreign policy today: the left-of-center liberal institutionalist, the Bush-era neocon, and the realist, are likened to the major characters of the infamous film, The Godfather. John Hulsman and Wess Mitchell offer a cogent analysis of US foreign policy using the themes of The Godfather as parable. Given the present changes in the world’s power structure, the movie is a startling and useful metaphor for the strategic problems of our times, and an assessment of cold-war American power in decline.
