Abstract

At the end of the 20th century, the USA’s environmental and energy policies were based on its international influence and domestic lobby groups. However, by the beginning of the new millennium, this country on the did not believe in its undisputed global leadership position in the unipolar world and changed its policies in line with global domination under the new conservatives’ influence. After 2001, the events allowed the neoconservatives to apply the philosophies theoretically formed and developed since 1930 in practice. The policies, including energy, environment and other strategic issues, of the government administration, which was determined with neoconservative motives, faced a great reaction and the domestic support began to decline. The neoconservatives faced that their policies that were inconsistent with the facts and resulted in a great disappointment in the U.S. public opinion.

Highlights

The presidential election held in 2000 has been the most talked-about subject in the history of the United States, which has been determined in the longest time and has been submitted to the Supreme Court
Due to the repeatedly counted votes in Florida in favor of Bush with a slight margin, it became clear that Bush was the winner with four votes to five out of nine, while Al Gore carried the result to the High Court
While the attacks of September 11, which had a revolutionary effect in the strategic view of the Bush administration and neoconservatives, and the United States National Security Strategy Document signed by President Bush in 2002, set the general framework of the Bush doctrine, it was an explicit declaration that a foreign policy under the influence of neoconservatives would be implemented [10]

Summary

Introduction

The presidential election held in 2000 has been the most talked-about subject in the history of the United States, which has been determined in the longest time and has been submitted to the Supreme Court. Deputy Secretary of Defence Paul Wolfowitz, Undersecretary of Defence Policy Dougles Feith, National Security Council's Elliot Abrams, Vice-President Cheney's Chief of Staff Lewis Libby, Pentagon Defence Policy Board Chairman Richard Perle was some of the main neoconservatives. The U.S administration, which had the perception that the stability of the political and economic global order was based on the hegemonic power of the USA before September 11, 2001, clearly showed that the perception on this issue had changed radically in President Bush's speech at the United States Military Academy on June 1, 2002.
