Abstract

Primarni alati vanjske politike SAD-a uključuju vojnu pomoć, diplomaciju i inozemnu pomoć. Ali kada ti alati postanu neprimjenjivi za određeni problem, ili kada donositelji odluka ne žele biti vidljivi, tradicionalno se okreću tajnim akcijama. Za provođenje tajnih akcija zadužena je CIA. Gotovo uvijek zadiru u unutarnje poslove druge zemlje i mogu dovesti do gubitka ljudskih života. Većina tajnih akcija poduzetih u četiri desetljeća nakon Drugog svjetskog rata bile su dio politike osmišljene za obuzdavanje komunizma u Sovjetskom Savezu i drugim komunističkim zemljama. Završetkom Hladnog rada ponovno se preispituje uloga tajnih akcija koje se mogu promijeniti tijekom vremena, ali potreba za njima nikada neće prestati sve dok postoje prijetnje slobodi i sigurnosti građana i gospodarstva zemlje.

Abstract (english)

The primary tools of US foreign policy include military aid, diplomacy, and foreign aid. But when these tools become inapplicable to a particular problem, or when decision makers don't want to be seen, they traditionally turn to covert action. CIA is in charge for conducting covert action.
Almost always, they intrude upon another country's internal affairs and can result in the loss of human life. Most covert actions undertaken in the four decades after World War II were part of larger policies designed to contain the Soviet Union and other communist countries. With the end of the Cold War, the role of covert actions is being reassessed but the need for them will never end as long as there are threats to the freedom and security of citizens and the country's economy.
