To help you understand this assignment further, the
following description and examples may be useful.

Step 1: Define doctrine and identify why a president would
want to announce one.

A doctrine is an ideological platform that a president uses
to advance a policy towards a country or region in order to accomplish foreign
policy goals for the United States, so you will need to expand on this
theme. 

Refer back to Assignment 1, and build on whatever doctrine
you wrote about then.  Say, for example,
you selected the Truman Doctrine. 
Therefore, this is the only thing you will write about in Assignment 2
step 1. 

Step 2: Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1
and describe the Cold War relationship that existed between it and the U.S.

Before the presidential doctrine was announced.  In the case of Truman, you would pick either
the Soviet Union, Greece, or Iran, since all three were affected by his
doctrine.  If you are writing about the
Eisenhower Doctrine, you would choose Lebanon or Egypt; if you wrote about the
Kennedy Doctrine, you would have write about Cuba or Vietnam; if your wrote
about the Nixon Doctrine, you would choose either Vietnam, Saudi Arabia or
Iran; if you chose Carter, you would select either Iran or Afghanistan; and if
you wrote about the Reagan Doctrine, you would select Nicaragua, Angola, Russia
or Afghanistan (although there were several others).

Step 3: Describe what effect the presidential doctrine you
chose has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced during the
Cold War. 

That is, how did the doctrine change the status quo
regionally or globally after it was announced by the U.S.?  What happened in Western Europe after the
Truman Doctrine was announced?  What
happened in the Middle East after the Eisenhower Doctrine was announced?  What happened with Cuba or Vietnam after
Kennedy offered up his doctrine of flexible response?  What happened in Southeast Asia or the
Persian Gulf after the Nixon Doctrine went in effect?  What happened in the Middle East after the
Carter Doctrine was announced?  What
happened in Central America or Africa or the Middle East after Reagan announced
his doctrine?

Step 4: Refer back to the country you selected in step two
and describe the relationship that currently exists between the U.S. and that
country. 

How has the relationship changed between the U.S. and that
country since the doctrine was announced?

Step 5: Evaluate whether or not the presidential doctrine
had had the intended effect of altering the behavior of the one country you
selected in section (2) above since the doctrine was first announced.
