ABSTRACT
Since the founding of the United States, American diplomacy has reflected a complex interweaving of ideological considerations, moral overtones, realistic interests, and power politics, that is, a complex interweaving of “idealism” and “realism”. Formulating U.S. diplomatic strategy has always sought a balance between “idealism” and “realism”. With the development of the world today, the development of science and technology has become increasingly important. In the Internet era, the U.S. information technology strategy has been continuously increased and followed up with the continuous development of the world's science and technology, striving to always maintain the leading position of information technology in the world. The U.S. informatization strategy is advanced, and its advancement comes from the support and protection of information technology and industry by the government and various parties in society. Innovation can be promoted only with support and protection, thus bringing strong impetus to the economic and social development of the whole country. Starting from the literature, this paper clarifies the historical origin and theoretical development of U.S. foreign policy and outlines the “idealism” and “realism” in U.S. diplomacy based on the current hot “metaverse”. This paper also discusses the evolution and contrast of “idealism” and “realism” in U.S. history in chronological order, and how they have influenced current developments.
