In recent times, due to the deepening level of globalization and transnational activities, the states will also have to interact with non-state actors. The aforementioned interaction is evaluated and monitored in attempts to maximize benefits of multilateral international cooperation. Since the national interests are paramount, foreign policies are designed by the government through high-level decision making processes. National interests accomplishment can occur as a result of peaceful cooperation with other nations, or through exploitation. Usually, creating foreign policy is the job of the head of government and the foreign minister (or equivalent). In some countries the legislature also has considerable

Chapter Three President Woodrow Wilson called for the United States to be neutral at the start of World War I and pursued a policy of isolation. Many Americans, such as Progressives like Jane Addams, spoke out against World War I, while some young men went overseas to participate in the European conflict. Eugene Debs and the Socialist Party condemned World War I as capitalist imperialism; industrialists such as Andrew Carnegie and Henry Ford also railed against the war http://safari.bucksiu.org/?a=26168&ch=3&d=0 1933AA
Chapter four U.S. businesses profited from trading with European countries involved in World War I; after a British naval blockade, the U.S. traded more with the Allied Powers than the Central Powers. Germany began a naval blockade of Great Britain, and in 1915, a U-boat sank the British liner Lusitania, killing 128 Americans; the United States remained neutral in World War I. President Woodrow Wilson was reelected in 1916 under the slogan, ''he kept us out of war''; Wilson changed to a pro-war stance after Germany resumed U-boat attacks
promised to help Mexico reclaim lost lands. President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war on April 2, 1917; the U.S. soon entered World War I. http://safari.bucksiu.org /?a=26168&ch=4&d=01 933AA
