	Encyclopedia: Globalization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		From 1910 to 1950, a series of political and economic upheavals dramatically reduced the volume and importance of international trade.
		It is useful to distinguish economic, political, and cultural aspects of globalization, although all three aspects are closely intertwined.
		The impact of globalization is mediated significantly by a state's position in global political, military and economic hierarchies; its domestic economic and political structures; the institutional pattern of domestic politics; and specific government as well as societal strategies for contesting, managing or ameliorating globalizing imperatives.

	Political interventionism ... - Sept. 19, 2003
		On certain occasions, Sin's political activism caused unease in the Vatican which made known its misgivings over, in particular, his overt role in using the pulpit in campaigning for the resignation of Estrada, when he was engulfed by a tide of corruption and incompetence charges.
		With the political parties dissolved and parliament subordinated by the all-powerful executive, the military was the institution that served as the pillar of regime support.
		Unless political institutions of democracy are strengthened, the exit of an interventionist Catholic Church leaves a monopoly of that role to the military which has shown little signs it is shedding its interventionist mentality.

	Politics & Ideas: The Philosophy of Interventionism (Lecture 6, Part 2 of 4) by Ludwig Von Mises -- Capitalism ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		But what we have today, what we see today in the reality of political life, practically without any exceptions, in all the countries of the world where there is not simply communist dictatorship, is a situation where there are no longer real political parties in the old classical sense, but merely pressure groups.
		In fact, the political life of the United States-as well as the political life of all other countries-is determined by the struggle and aspirations of pressure groups.
		These political changes, brought about by interventionism, have considerably weakened the power of nations and of representatives to resist the aspirations of dictators and the operations of tyrants.

	Interventionism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Interventionism is characterized by the use or threat of force or coercion to alter a political or cultural situation nominally outside the intervenor's moral or political jurisdiction.
		In the case of domestic interventionism that apparatus is the police force (or the army acting as a domestic policing force as with the British army in Northern Ireland 1969-date); in the case of international interventionism it is the army.
		Isolationism is the political doctrine of non-involvement in foreign affairs.

	The False God of Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		What is bad about political movements is that they depart too much from their own origins, that on occasion their results so disfigure the world that it really can be called bad, purely visually; that they lead human thoughts into a dead end.
		Underneath the rhetoric, what those who seek political solutions for all social and personal problems are saying is that such solutions do exist, and that, in effect, all of our difficulties can be corrected, if only they are given a chance to do it.
		Politics is no panacea, and only when we begin to look into Washington but to ourselves will our lives have any purpose and meaning.

	Humanitarian Interventionism?
		It is the level of political pragmatism that cost humanitarian interventionism much of its attractiveness; in many instances, humanitarian interventionism failed entirely and paid for this failure with its credibility.
		Political and general disinterest in Somalia contributed considerably to the humanitarian catastrophe, which was then turned into a matter of European and North American domestic politics through alarming reports from relief organizations and the media.
		The failure of humanitarian interventionism in specific cases and the decline in its attractiveness as a concept and as a basis of policy-making should not however be solely attributed to isolated cases or to the cynicism of governments.

	Interventionism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		But this definition then becomes too broad to be of use--merely speaking to another or judging their behavior in the absence of any threats, coercion, or force, cannot be termed interventionist, for its goal is not to interfere but to explain possible choices.
		International interventionism can incorporate direct activities such as the use or threat of war, as well as indirect activities such as assassination, subversion, and economic embargoes of all descriptions (complete or partial blockades, transport restrictions, etc.).
		Political realism assumes that interests are to be maintained through the exercise of power, and that the world is characterized by competing power bases (nation states [Hegel], for example, or classes [Marx]).

	The Culture of Interventionism
		This paper is an attempt to begin theorizing the cultural sources of the general acceptance of each instance of interventionism by the US in the affairs of other nations.
		Nationalism and interventionism, as structures of thought, appear to rely on a kind of historical unconscious, a dimension of cultural being that lies beneath them, that serve to render their rhetoric self-referential.
		That is, interventionism defends sovereignty because it violates it; it establishes freedom because it dominates; it builds democracy because it dismantles it (by violating sovereignty and imposing external structure).

		Political power was purposefully diffused because the founders understood the intrinsic “nature of man,” i.e.
		Contemporary American interventionism may be the result of “public choice theory.” Eland writes that “the government itself can develop interests separate from its citizens.
		American interventionism is also the direct result of our federal legislature’s abnegation of constitutional responsibilities, namely its obligation to vote on the question of war.

		These various policies failed to strengthen civil society in Latin America vis-a-vis the various Governments or political factions they were supposed to help or undermine, and made it difficult for Latin Americans to distinguish between authentic capitalist reform and “crony capitalism” of the sort that keeps recurring throughout the region.
		Most of the Panama’s politics came to be defined in terms of support or opposition to foreign interference and control, a factor that contributed to strengthening authoritarian tendencies on both sides of the divide.
		Despite being fueled in response to the widespread corruption, hardship, and repression of oligarghic rule, most subsequent revoluntinary movements in Latin America have brought economic and social misery to the citizenry as a result of a misguided quest for state socialism and a campaign of mass terrorism.

		At the turn of the century, judicial interventionism was associated with the efforts of conservative justices to safeguard business and industry from excessive regulation, and political liberals and progressives championed the cause of judicial deference.
		The functional defense for nonoriginalist interventionism presumes, first, that originalism is not the only legitimate justification for judicial interventionism, and, therefore, that an interventionist judiciary is both legitimate and positive because it enhances the performance of government by improving decision making.

	ZNet \| Activism \| Jews, Israel, And The United States: Talking Points For Jewish Anti-War Activists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Real alliance-building - as opposed to the tactical expediency of short-term coalition politics - means that we need to ask our Christian (and secular) allies to recognize and own their own part: in anti-Semitism, in silence and complicity, and in the arrogance of empire.
		In institutionalized Jewish life, however, democratic participation and debate are more often crushed by a stifling climate of political orthodoxy that begins with silencing and does not hesitate to move onto fllisting, the withdrawal of funding, and worse.
		While this approach is far more labor intensive than conventional coalition politics, it is the only way to counter the policing function of our community's gatekeepers and to gather the growing dissent within our community into an effective political force.

		Interventionism defines the power relationship between a big country (usually, imperialist) and a small, defenseless country (usually in the Third World) — thus, is one-sided, onerous, illegitimate/unlawful and inimical.
		Interventionism, which is a higher form of meddling, should essentially be seen as an instrument that seeks to promote colonialism or neocolonialism, the domination of one country or region, or as an instrument of hegemonism.
		In October 2003, the head of the VFA Monitoring Committee, lawyer Amado Valdez, was sacked by Ople for saying in a report that the treaty is onerous and one-sided in favor of the United States.

	Heretical Essays
		One common argument against interventionism is that it makes people turn into terrorists in order to "avenge" themselves on the United States.
		However, libertarians should work to develop a foriegn policy that recognizes the need for intervention to prevent small crises from getting worse and threatening the United States or her allies, the need for some pre-emptive engagements to prevent attacks on the United States, and the encouragement of the liberalization or outright overthrow of despotic regimes.
		This policy would not only be of benefit to libertarians politically, but such a policy will protect America's national security and build a future in which all people will be free.

	Foreign Affairs - The New Interventionists - Stephen John Stedman
		Like the doctrine of containment that opened the crusade against communism, the new strategy of interventionism is inchoate in its first expressions, ill thought out in its implications and its chosen instruments.
		That illusion, alongside often violent disorder in many states, has produced a kind of "new interventionism." This outlook combines an awareness that civil war is a legitimate issue of international security with a sentiment for crusading liberal internationalism.
		Followed unthinkingly, the new interventionism could become increasingly expansive, until the United States and the United Nations ultimately take on tasks for which they are ill-prepared, leaving themselves embroiled in numerous internal conflicts without the will or resources to bring peace to any.

	Foreign Affairs - Civil War by Other Means - Michael Lind
		After all, the polarization of American domestic politics along regional lines is one of the most obvious and striking phenomena of our time.
		While the sectional division in domestic politics has become familiar, the impact of the divisions between America's regions on its diplomacy is a neglected subject.
		When the influence of sectionalism on U.S. foreign policy is discussed at all, it is usually in the context of trade disputes, which pit the northeastern-midwestern manufacturing belt against the high-tech industries and commodity exporters of the South and West.

		The defeated politics of import substitution and State interventionism have been replaced by politics of structural adjustment (recipe of the Bretton Woods institutions for developing countries) two decades ago in order to lighten the uneasiness that the first caused.
		These social development politics, promoted by the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, are in agreement with the structural adjustment politics of the second generation.
		This process is accomplished in close cooperation between representatives of the multilateral bank and national technocrats in secrecy, leaving aside important political actors such as the parliaments.

	OLD RIGHT: AMERICA'S TRADITION OF NON-INTERVENTIONISM by Chris Leithner
		Hirsh is simply wrong: interventionism has not always prevailed; non-interventionism is not nativism; and it is arguable whether the consequences of interventionism have been positive.
		Polls have shown consistently that Americans generally disdain foreign entanglements and overwhelmingly oppose foreign "aid." As the events of 11 September 2001 illustrated, interventionist policies have also generated the hostility and enmity of people not predisposed to appreciate the peculiarities and finer points of American institutions and history.
		Perhaps the greatest tragedy in the wake of 11 September 2001, apart from the lives lost, children orphaned and adults widow(er)ed, is that the citizens of the very country that has one of the noblest histories of political non-interventionism are apparently ignorant of that history.
