Essay Topics

1.

Summarize John Bolton’s foreign policy approach. He only briefly mentions his broader philosophy, so you will need to cite examples from the text to build your argument. Is his doctrine consistent? Why or why not?

2.

Bolton is entirely transparent about his specific views on a range of foreign policy issues, including Iran, the War in Afghanistan, and North Korean aggression. Pick one issue you agree with Bolton on and one issue you disagree with him on and explain why.

3.

Why does Bolton believe he isn’t part of the so-called “axis of adults”? Do you find his reasoning convincing? Why or why not?
