Abstract

Diplomski rad s temom „Analiza vanjskopolitičkih strategija predsjednika Harryja S. Trumana i Johna F. Kennedyja“ pisan je kako bi se pobliže usporedile vanjske politike dvaju američkih predsjednika u dva vrlo kritična razdoblja Hladnog rata. Analizom i komparacijom vanjskih politika dolazi se do zaključka jesu li njihove strategije prema Europi, Aziji i Bliskom istoku bile vrlo slične. Do odgovora na polazno pitanje dolazi se metodom deskripcije, odnosno postupkom opisivanja i prepričavanja činjenica poput inauguracijskih govora i Govora o stanju nacije te paralelnim presjekom povijesnih događaja. Iz istraživanja proizlaze rezultati koji govore kako su vanjskopolitičke strategije Trumana i Kennedyja bile vrlo slične, s jedinim osnovnim ciljem, a to je suzbijanje sovjetskog utjecaja u svijetu. Iz toga se izvodi zaključak kako je vanjska politika SAD-a za vrijeme dva krizna razdoblja Hladnog rata bila vrlo slična, a razlikovala se samo zbog drugačijih okolnosti u određenim državama.

Abstract (english)

The Master’s thesis on "Analysis of Foreign Policy Strategies of President Harry S. Truman and John F. Kennedy" was written to compare the two US President's foreign policies in two very critical periods of the Cold War. By analyzing and comparing foreign policies, research comes to the conclusion that their strategies for Europe, Asia and the Middle East are very similar. The answer to the initial question comes by the method of descriptiveness, respectively the process of describing and recounting facts such as the Inaugural Address and State of the Union addresses and the parallel cross-section of historical events. The research results show that Truman’s and Kennedy's foreign policy strategies are very similar, with one basic goal of suppressing the Soviet influence in the world. This led to the conclusion that US foreign policy during the two critical periods of the Cold War were very similar and differed only due to the different circumstances in certain countries.
