The end of the Cold War has transformed the United States foreign policy, challenging traditional national values and interests and causing global changes in various areas and political institutions. In a context where it is no longer possible to distinguish between foreign and domestic policy, underlying values are essential for the formulation and implementation of all public policies. From a nationalist and globalist perspective, this article examines three areas of this country's foreign policy in which values are important: War and conflict resolution, which includes the values of personal security and human rights; the United Nations and international organizations, which embody the values of the global community and solidarity; and foreign aid and sustainable development, with the values of human development, generosity and compassion.
