Abstract Details

2006, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences : Political Science.
This study shows how Madeleine Albright’s policies and initiatives in the Rwanda and Kosovo conflicts may have been informed and shaped by her unusual personal history. Specific events in Albright's political career are discussed, in particular, the Rwanda conflict, which occurred during her tenure as UN Ambassador during the first Clinton administration, and the Kosovo conflict during Clinton's second term when Albright was Secretary of State and US intervention was characterized as “Madeline’s War.” The paper explores the influence Albright’s middle European heritage may have had on her policy choices in these two conflicts. Furthermore, her experiences as Ambassador to the U.N. during the Rwanda tragedy may be seen to have shaped her approach to humanitarian intervention in Kosovo. Finally, the resulting “Albright Doctrine” is assessed in terms of its impact on US foreign policy.
