U.S. Policy in the Southeast Europe
U.S. Policy in the Southeast Europe

Summary/Abstract: Following the disintegration of the socialist system in Europe and the end of the bloc-based relations, American politics has changed the course of its operation. In present-day circumstances, southeast Europe is becoming increasingly prominent in American foreign-policy projections, particularly during Clinton’s administration. Clinton has defined a clear-cut policy towards Europe’s southeast due to its vicinity to certain neuralgic points of American engagement (Near East, the Caspian region, the Gulf, eastern Mediterranean). In this way American politics has proved its leading global role. At the time of scarcity of foreignpolicy events, Clinton’s team has thus been served on a platter a major foreignpolicy arena, in which its engagement – which has all the symptoms of a longlasting one – has not proved too costly.
