TITLE- THE NEW U.S. DIPLOMACY
Editorial in center-right O Estado de S. Paulo (3-8) states: "U.S.
Secretary Hillary Clinton's first international trip to the Middle
East and to Europe indicated a substantial shift...in U.S. diplomacy
under Barack Obama's administration. At Washington's instigation
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has re-established
formal relations with Russia....The initiative shows Obama's concern
to rebuild coherence between the means and the ends in U.S. foreign
policy, which was buried by a series of errors made by the Bush
administration. The return to rationality does not guarantee that
those ends will be achieved....but the change is indispensable to
regain U.S. position on the world's chessboard."
