The Gulf War as a Turning Point in International Relations.
The primary question that this paper will address is 'why did the US go to war against Iraq?'. As will be shown, different perspectives offer clearly different answers. In the final analysis, consistent with tradition, realism seems to hold the most solid answer. However, unlike previous instances of armed aggression, pluralism and globalism played surprisingly important roles. In particular, the international media contributed significantly to the outcome of the war. Given this finding, the secondary question that will be approached is whether or not we can expect pluralism and globalism to play more important roles in international relations in the future. 16 pgs. 15 f/c. 11b.
