Abstract

Ovaj rad bavi se komparacijom vanjskih politika dvojice američkih predsjednika Georga W. Busha i Baracka Obame. Njihovo predsjedavanje obuhvaća period od 2001. godine do 2017. godine. To je period obilježen krizama na Bliskom istoku koje su i temelj njihove vanjske politike. U radu se kreće od ustavnih ovlasti predsjednika kako bi se bolje razumjelo njihovo djelovanje često mimo Kongresa. Bush i Obama nositelji su dvije različite političke opcije pa je i njihov odnos prema vanjskoj politici različit, ali u kriznim situacijama u kojima su se našli njihovi postupci su često sličniji nego različiti. Prekretnica u ovom periodu je teroristički napad 11.9.2001. koji u potpunosti mijenja dotadašnju američku vanjsku politiku. Predsjednik Bush postavlja se unitarno i kreće u vojne akcije. Za razliku od njega, a i nakon osam godina sukoba, predsjednik Obama traži podršku međunarodne javnosti i privodi sukobe kraju.

Abstract (english)

Subject of graduate thesis is based on analysis and comparison of the foreign policies of two U.S. Presidents, George W. Bush and Barack Obama during their presidency of USA from 2001 to 2017 with special reference to the crisis in the Middle East and their influence on it. Research begins with analysis of constitutional powers of presidents and Congress to provide a better understanding of their power and interactions on the foreign policy of USA. Bush and Obama are the bearers of two different political options, so their attitude towards foreign policy was different, but in crisis situations in which they find themselves, their actions were often more similar than different. However, after the terrorist attack on September 11 2001, which completely changed the American foreign policy, it is possible to notice some differences in conducting foreign policy. After 9/11, President Bush was acting very unitary and quickly moved into military actions against worldwide terrorism while President Obama during his presidency always was seeking the international support and trying to bring the conflicts to the end.
