Step 1: Define doctrine and identify why a president wouldwant to announce one.

A doctrine is an ideological platform that a president usesto advance a policy towards a country or region in order to accomplish foreignpolicy goals for the United States, so you will need to expand on thistheme. 

Refer back to Assignment 1, and build on whatever doctrineyou wrote about then.  Say, for example,you selected the Truman Doctrine. Therefore, this is the only thing you will write about in Assignment 2step 1. 

Step 2: Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1and describe the Cold War relationship that existed between it and the U.S.

Before the presidential doctrine was announced.  In the case of Truman, you would pick eitherthe Soviet Union, Greece, or Iran, since all three were affected by hisdoctrine.  If you are writing about theEisenhower Doctrine, you would choose Lebanon or Egypt; if you wrote about theKennedy Doctrine, you would have write about Cuba or Vietnam; if your wroteabout the Nixon Doctrine, you would choose either Vietnam, Saudi Arabia orIran; if you chose Carter, you would select either Iran or Afghanistan; and ifyou wrote about the Reagan Doctrine, you would select Nicaragua, Angola, Russiaor Afghanistan (although there were several others).

Step 3: Describe what effect the presidential doctrine youchose has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced during theCold War. 

That is, how did the doctrine change the status quoregionally or globally after it was announced by the U.S.?  What happened in Western Europe after theTruman Doctrine was announced?  Whathappened in the Middle East after the Eisenhower Doctrine was announced?  What happened with Cuba or Vietnam afterKennedy offered up his doctrine of flexible response?  What happened in Southeast Asia or thePersian Gulf after the Nixon Doctrine went in effect?  What happened in the Middle East after theCarter Doctrine was announced?  Whathappened in Central America or Africa or the Middle East after Reagan announcedhis doctrine?

Step 4: Refer back to the country you selected in step twoand describe the relationship that currently exists between the U.S. and thatcountry. 

How has the relationship changed between the U.S. and thatcountry since the doctrine was announced?

Step 5: Evaluate whether or not the presidential doctrinehad had the intended effect of altering the behavior of the one country youselected in section (2) above since the doctrine was first announced.
