Part III (40 points)

Many observers have suggested that the end of the Cold War has radically changed the substantive policy choices faced by the United States. (More on that later in the course.) For now, in a brilliant, thoughtful and well-organized essay, explain whether you believe it has changed or should lead to changes in the processes by which the United States attempts to make those policy choices. In your essay, make reference to at least three authors encountered thus far in the course and use specific examples to illustrate and support your argument.
