| Research Abstract |
This research studies the validity of the so-called Western Order concept. The concept assumes that multinational policy coordination among the allies based upon the principle of ‘multilateralism’ is the basic orientation of the US world policy since the end of the Second World War. Accordingly, it claims that the US ‘unilateralism’ only irregularly and temporary appears due to the competitive nature of American domestic policy making process.This research analyzes the disputes among the members of the Atlantic Alliance regarding the use of coercive power since the 1970s to the present by focusing on the role of the anti-Detente advocates. It proved the following points. Firstly, the policy-makers those who supported the use of coercive power in the post-Cold War era has bipartisan and transnational roots in the anti-Detente advocates. Secondly, from the view point of ‘action’, the allies’ influence on the US policy-process is limited. Thirdly, the US governments in the1990s strategically perused foreign policies in order to maintain the leadership within the Atlantic Alliance. Therefore, the US unilateralism emerged as a result of American governments’ strategic decisions that were influenced by the anti-Detente advocates.
