The promotion of the Westphalian system at the core of the United States foreign policy is not possible with the challenge of global governance (Sarkar, p. 2).

As the Europeans attempted to go back to South America to collect various debts, he (President Roosevelt) wanted to use this platform to take a paternal role in the continent. This is a main area of focus due to the United States’ previously diminished role in the western hemisphere which Roosevelt took the matters into his own hands and emerged as
Midterm International relations theories are a set of ideas that explain how states work within global system of alliances and shared interests. What separates a theory from an ideology is concrete evidence of practice and deep reasoning that backs up the theory. The three major theories of international relations are realism, liberalism, and constructivism.

Political Realism is a theory of political philosophy that explains that the ultimate goal of a political entity or individual is and should be to gain power over others. For individual politicians, this means that all their actions are intended to increase their authority over other politicians. Internationally, nations try to maximize their authority and influence over other nations. This theory of associations dates back to the time in history when people first began to think in terms of a national
Succeeding the Cold War, the threat to the U.S. has shifted from traditional to non-traditional. As a global power, both actors target the U.S.; conversely, nation-states (traditional threat) have become steady while Non-State Actors (NSAs) (non-traditional threat) have cultivated at an amplified rate.
