This article identifies the value impact of the Carter administration's behavior on national security questions, and appraises the extent to which this impact is consistent with Carter's initial, professed national security goals. These goals included the intention to reduce military expenditures, to halt the nuclear arms buildup of the U.S. and U.S.S.R., to prevent the spread of nuclear‐weapons technology to additional countries, to cut U.S. arms exports, and to curtail overt and covert U.S. intervention in Third World countries. The analysis demonstrates that the Carter administration frequently violated its own professed goals and the security interests of the U.S. public. The Carter‐Brzezinski policy, like that of preceding administrations, has been deficient because it 1) has served interests too narrowly defined, and 2) has not promoted structural solutions to problems that are structural in origin. As a result, U.S. policy has failed to advance preferred world order values of peace, economic justice, human rights, and ecological balance, which together help define the “global human interest.” An alternative approach, better able to serve the human interest, is proposed
