Introduction
In terms of foreign policy, exceptionalism in the post-cold war era has created some troubling dilemmas:
First: the selection multilateralism as an option in foreign policy, not an obligation.
Second: exceptionalism as a key concept in American cultural studies that means, "American exceptionalism has been historically referred to as the perception that the United States differs qualitatively from other developed nations, because of its unique origins, national credo, historical evolution, and distinctive political and religious institutions". As you know, this may bread arrogance, because it is being constantly repeated to the inhabitations of the US.
Third: is that exceptionalism may encourage the view that the ends are more important than the means, which in turn may promote hypocrisy and double standards.
