×research were to find out the reasons why United States of America refused to
sign Ottawa treaty.
This research used a qualitative one with library research as the method
meaning that this research used collected data in analyzing the research question
by presenting, collaborating, and analyzing them. The data source of the research
was a treaty with its official name “Convention on the Prohibition of the Use,
Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their
Destruction”. The main data of this research was the text of the treaty, while the
supporting data was taken from books, magazines, newspapers, articles, journals,
and the internet sources that had significances in helping to answer the research
question.
The research used historical, socio-political, foreign policy approaches and
ultimate decision unit theories to answer why United States of America refused to
sign Ottawa Treaty.
Derived from the analysis, it was found that the interests why the U.S
refused Ottawa Treaty are the significance of landmines militarily, securing South
Korea as the U.S ally, and American economic interest. It was further analyzed by
using the ultimate decision unit theory to know the actors behind the decision
making process and factors contribute to it. The type of ultimate decision unit in
this decision making process is multiple autonomous actors. The interest of the
U.S in refusing Ottawa Treaty was analyzed through the perspective of President
and Congress as the authorized decision makers in the case of the treaty. President
Bill Clinton maintains the United States of America’s security and economy,
while, Congress maintains humanitarian reason and the U.S responsibility as
superpower. The relationship among those multiple autonomous actors is included
as a zero sum. To legitimate his decision on the case of his refusal toward Ottawa
treaty, Bill Clinton issued his PDD/NSC-64 on Humanitarian Demining. By
issuing PDD/NSC-64, it shows that there is another type of ultimate decision unit
namely single group.
