Foreign & Domestic Policy

Mr. RaymondSlide2

Domestic Policy

Domestic policy

, also known as

public policy, presents decisions, laws and programs made by the government, which are directly related to all issues and activity within the country.Domestic policy is the set of laws and regulations that a government establishes within a nation's borders. It differs from foreign policy, which refers to the ways a government advances its interests in world politics. Domestic policy covers a wide range of areas, including business, education, energy, health care, law enforcement, money and taxes, natural resources, social welfare and personal rights and freedomsSlide3

Foreign Policy

Foreign

Policy

How a nation treats other nations is called foreign policy. It is a kind of blueprint for the way a nation deals with other nations of the world. Foreign policy involves economic, political and military issues. The way foreign policy is conducted is of major importance to the domestic and international concerns of a nation.The United States Constitution divides foreign policy powers between the President and the Congress so that both share in the making of foreign policy. The executive and legislative branches each play important roles that are different but that often overlap. Both branches have continuing opportunities to initiate and change foreign policy. The interaction between them continues indefinitely

throughout the life of a policy. The president was given the task of dealing with foreign policy through the Constitution in Article II, Section 2. Early in the presidency of George Washington

, the Cabinet position of Secretary of State was created. The secretary of state is the

major

adviser to the president about international relations.Slide4

Foreign Policy

There are four key goals of America’s foreign policy for dealing with other nations.

1)

National Security – this is the nation’s # 1 goal and all government policies are used to obtain this goal. 2) International Trade – trade with other countries is vital for economic prosperity and to create markets for American products and jobs for our citizens. 3) Promoting World Peace – promotes peace to ensure national security and trade. 4) Promote Democracy Around the World – helps to protect basic human rights and encourages peace, which promotes our nation’s security. Slide5

Foreign Policy

The

president

and the White House assistants work with a large foreign-policy bureaucracy within the executive branch that includes: the State Department, the Department of Central Intelligence (CIA), and National Security Council. They help with foreign affairs and carry out presidential decisions.Slide6

President – Foreign Policy

Congress – Foreign Policy

money for defense. Slide8

Congress & President

carry

out our American foreign policy: 1) Creating Treaties and Economic Agreements a) A treaty is a formal agreement between the governments of 2 or more countries. Example: One of the most important treaties we have is NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). It is a mutual defense agreement between the US, Canada, and nations of Europe. The Senate must approve a treaty by 2/3 votes.Slide9

International

agreement intended to prevent the spread of nuclear technology. The U.S., Britain, the Soviet Union, and 59 other countries signed it in 1968. The three major signatories agreed not to assist states lacking nuclear weapons to obtain or produce them; the nonnuclear signatories agreed not to attempt to obtain nuclear weapons in exchange for assistance in developing nuclear power for peaceful purposes. In 1995, when the treaty was due to expire, it was extended indefinitely by a consensus vote of 174 countries at the United Nations.Slide11

traded and rules for such trading. b) Trade sanctions – punish another country by imposing trade barriers. c) Embargo – an agreement among a group of nations that prohibits them all from trading with a target nation. d) Tariffs – a tax on an imported good.e) Approve or deny membership into international trade groups such as –Slide14
