The differing foreign policy perspectives of Senators John McCain, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama: Differences of emphasis and similarities of outlook

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: USA, grade: 1,0, Munich University of Policy, course: Hauptseminar "America and the world", language: English, abstract: Dr. Charles Doran, Professor of International Relations, titled his speech given on June 10th 2008 at the America House Munich "How Americans Choose - The most important Presidential Election in a Century". Maybe - as we are still at the beginning of this century - this sounds somewhat exaggerated at first, but on a second look the upcoming presidential election in the United States indeed appears to be a unique and path-breaking event for the future (...) As the topic of our seminar was "America and the world", this term paper will focus on the nominees' foreign policy perspectives, which show surprisingly few differences but many similarities.
