The think tank 'Proyect for the New American Century', the international system and the Irak case

Abstract

All the American political specter is represented by centers for research and public policies analysis, called think tank. They push forward for the interpretation of the present political events and for the manipulation of the futures ones. This paper considers the think tank called Project for the New American Century (PNAC), with the purpose of examining the posture and the way that it influences the public perception, in relation to the international system in general, and the policies on the Iraqi conflict in particular. Therefore, the document takes up, in first place, theoretical key concepts of the international system. Then, it uncovers the above mentioned think tank (who they are, their website, statements, and their intellectual production related to Iraq). At last, the article connects the PNAC characterization with the International system and with the aforementioned conflict.
