The problem of establishing criteria for evaluating foreign policy is critical, particularly given the dynamic of revolutionary change which will characterize the next decade. Too often, in the past, the sole criterion used in judging the appropriateness of foreign policy has been its “rationality,” or its “efficiency” in maximizing its goals. This purported rationality has served only to camouflage the underlying value preferences which determine decision maker's policy objectives. Thus, the debate over policy goals, while guised as a technical problem of goal maximization, is really concerned with value choices. An alternative criteria is advanced involving the “national interest” as understood within the accepted boundaries of the international system. Finally, the debate on world order values would benefit from an awareness of value imperatives as requisite to any fundamental global transformation. |
