   To help you understand this assignment further, the following description and examples may be useful.

   Step 1: Define doctrine and identify why a president would want to announce one. A doctrine is an ideological platform that a president uses to advance a policy towards a country or region in order to accomplish foreign policy goals for the United States, so you will need to expand on this theme.  Step 2: Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1 and describe the Cold War relationship that existed between it and the U.S.  Step 3: Describe what effect the presidential doctrine you chose has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced during the Cold War.  That is, how did the doctrine change the status quo regionally or globally after it was announced by the U.S.?  What happened in Southeast Asia or the Persian Gulf after the Nixon Doctrine went in effect?   Step 4: Refer back to the country you selected in step two and describe the relationship that currently exists between the U.S. and that country.  How has the relationship changed between the U.S. and that country since the doctrine was announced? Step 5: Evaluate whether or not the presidential doctrine had had the intended effect of altering the behavior of the one country you selected in section (2) above since the doctrine was first announced. Your assignment must:
