Explain how the global economy will affect the foreign policy of nations in the twenty-first century and indicate what role you think the United States will have in this new global foreign policy.

The global economy affects the foreign policy of nations because there are trade agreements that mutually benefit nations. Before the economy was truly global, nations would figure out how to get resources through violence. Wars would wage over small parcels of land with rich materials, but the global economy allows for nations to cooperate for a mutual agreement that gives one nation more money and another nation more resources, without the cost of human lives.
