On December 5, the White House released the new US National Security Strategy, which marked a serious shift in Washington’s foreign policy priorities and principles. One of the key principles declared in the document is the concept of “flexible realism.” According to this approach, the United States intends to pursue a more pragmatic policy, abandoning the previous practice of forcibly imposing democracy and ideological projects.
The strategy explicitly states the intention to support constructive relations with various countries “without imposing on them democratic or other social change that differs widely from their traditions and histories.” Basically, Washington acknowledges the civilizational diversity of the modern world and signals its willingness to accept countries as they are, even if their political system or values differ from Western standards. This shift signifies a rejection of the neoconservative approach of past decades, when the spread of democracy was regarded as a justification for intervention. Now the strategy places US national interests and stability at the forefront, proclaiming a “predisposition to non-intervention” in the internal affairs of other countries.
