Paul Dundes Wolfowitz (born December 22, 1944) is a Statesian politician who served as Deputy Secretary of Defense from 2001 to 2005 under George W. Bush. Previously he served as Under Secretary for Defense under George H. W. Bush From 1986 to 89, and in various positions under Ronald Reagan, including as the US ambassador to Indonesia. Wolfowitz was later the tenth president of the World Bank from 2005 to 2007 before a scandal forced him to resign.[1]
He is responsible for the Wolfowitz Doctrine, which promotes U.S. unilateralism, imperialism, and military intervention. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Wolfowitz expanded on previous imperial policy to recognise the United States was now the sole world superpower and thus must do whatever it takes to maintain this status. This doctrine led to the constant expansion of U.S. military power and an increase in interventionism to maintain U.S. dominance, leading to conflicts such as the Iraq War.[2]
