"By the end of the Clinton administration it was clear that U. S. foreign policy had no overarching framework as it did during the Cold War. Rather, each of the two immediate post-Cold War presidents,
George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton, was unsure how to address the emergence of ethnic conflicts and
civil wars and the humanitarian and human rights crises that accompany them. The result was the
emergence of policies that were inconsistent and often opaque...
"From the start of the Cold War, American presidents based U. S. foreign policy on fighting that war
with the hope of winning." The Cold War provided a framework and clear guidelines for foreign
and military policy. In the post-Cold War period, U. S. foreign policy has been guided largely by the
need to respond to the most pressing crisis or conflict."

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
