U.S. foreign policy under President-elect Clinton will be characterized by a certain degree of continuity as well as some notable changes, especially in approaches to economic security, promotion of democracy and the global environment, according to a UC Davis associate professor of political science who served as a foreign policy adviser to the Clinton/Gore campaign. "This is really the first post-Cold War presidency we've had. The world that the new administration will tackle will be more different than ever before," says Bruce Jentleson, director of the UC Davis Washington Center. The new administration will be active internationally because it's vital to our economic, security and environmental interests, says Jentleson. A strong domestic economy is linked to a strong foreign policy, he says. "You can't divide the two." Other areas of key interest include the stability of the former Soviet republics, continued spread of nuclear weapons, the Middle East negotiations and economic conversion strategies to accompany post-Cold War cuts in the defense budget. Jentleson will address perspectives on the Clinton/Gore foreign policy during a talk noon-1 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 2, in the reading room of the Institute of Governmental Affairs at UC Davis.
