With policies that keep us

“I believe the future
holds far more opportunities than threats if we exercise creative and
confident leadership that enables us to shape global events rather
than be shaped by them.”
Hillary, June 13, 2016
“As secretary of state,
Hillary Clinton worked to restore America’s leadership in the world
after it was badly eroded by eight years of the Bush administration’s
go-it-alone foreign policy. She oversaw significant
accomplishments, from building a global coalition to impose
crippling sanctions against Iran, to brokering a ceasefire in Gaza
and protecting Israel, to supporting President Obama’s
decision to bring Osama bin Laden to justice, and much more.
Defending America and our core values is one of the cornerstones of
Hillary’s campaign. …
As president, Hillary
will:
Ensure
we are stronger at home. ...
Stick
with our allies. ...
Embrace
all the tools of American power. ...
Be
firm but wise with our rivals.
...
Have
a real plan for confronting terrorists.
...
Hillary has a record of
defending America and our core values: … “

the complexity of the
monumental task of shifting might is right 20th Century thinking to diplomacy first 21st Century thinking I've provided you with some excerpts

her role as President Obama's Secretary of State.)
EXCERPTS from: “Leading
Through Civilian Power: 2010 Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development
Review EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Secretary Clinton began her tenure by stressing the need to elevate
civilian power alongside military power as equal pillars of U.S.
foreign policy. She called for an integrated “smart power”
approach to solving global problems—a concept that is embodied in
the President’s National Security Strategy.
The starting premise of the QDDR is that to achieve this vision, and
the savings and performance it can yield, we must recognize that
civilian power in the world is not limited to State and USAID alone.
We have seen astonishing growth in the number of civilian agencies
that engage in international activity: energy diplomacy, disease
prevention, police training, trade promotion, and many other areas.
When
the work of these agencies is aligned, it protects America’s
interests and projects our leadership. We help prevent fragile
states from descending into chaos, spur economic growth abroad,
secure investments for American business, open new markets for
American goods, promote trade overseas, and create jobs here at home.
We help other countries build integrated, sustainable public health
systems that serve their people and prevent the spread of disease. We
help prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. We support civil society
groups in countries around the world in their work to choose their
governments and hold those governments accountable. We support
women’s efforts to become financially independent, educate their
children, improve their communities, and help make peace in their
countries. This is an affirmative American agenda—a global
agenda—that is uncompromising in its defense of our security but
equally committed to advancing our prosperity and standing up for our
values.
Empowering
the people who carry out this work to deliver results for the
American people is the ultimate goal of this report.
The
QDDR begins by assessing the world as it is today and the changes we
expect in the years ahead. Key global trends are reshaping
international affairs and placing new demands on our diplomats and
development experts. Threats loom, including violent extremism,
nuclear proliferation, climate change, and economic shocks that could
set back global prosperity.
At the same time, the forces that fuel these challenges—economic
interdependence and the speedy movement of information, capital,
goods, and people—are also creating unprecedented opportunities.
Power in the international system, once exercised more or less
exclusively by a handful of great powers, is now shared by a wide
array of states, institutions, and non-state actors. And the
information revolution has accelerated the tempo of international
affairs. It has unleashed new threats, as when confidential
diplomatic communications are published online, endangering lives
around the world and undermining efforts to promote the common good.
But it also offers extraordinary opportunities for more people in
more places to participate in global debates and make a difference in
the lives of people in need.
The
rest of this executive summary is divided into four sections:
Diplomacy for the 21st Century, which shows how we will adapt our
diplomacy to new threats and opportunities; Transforming Development
to Deliver Results, which highlights our efforts to re-establish
USAID as the world’s preeminent development agency; Preventing and
Responding to Conflict and Crisis, which describes how we will
improve our ability to operate in fragile states and help stop
conflicts before they happen; and Working Smarter, which explains how
we will improve our approaches to planning, procurement, and
personnel. ... “
