    It is difficult to make an analysis of Theodore Roosvelt's internal and, mainly, international politicies. This is so, because it is highly necessary to take into account the context in which he was President, and how this contex has changed throughout the country's history.

    When talking about the international policies, it is necessary to understand that Roosvelt defended that the United States had an important role all over the world, interventioning in-pro the country's own benefits. So that, it is possible that Roosvelt's presidency strenghtened the American role and made the Nation to be identified as in the head of world. It is so, because he propeled the creation of the Panama Chanel, the American intervention in the Caribbean (getting Guantamo, for example), the American participation in different international disputes (Germany, France, Japan, Russia, among others).

    Nevertheless, it could be possible to say that Roosvelt's policies had a negative impact, too. It is so, because in different countries there was a growing feeling of seeing the USA as and interventionist and expansionist country. This is due to the possible of being against the Humanitarian Intervantions on Earth and the fierce defense of regimes that could work for American interests.

    When talking about domestic policies, Roosvelt was mainly focus on fighting the economical monopolies and on protecting the environment. So that, it is possible to say that in this sense Roosvelt's policies were mainly possitive because although he had a great impact on economical and business diversification, he was limiting the impact and protecting the resources, at the same time.

    Finally, the methods used by Roosvelt could be quite negative because he tried to concentrate the power more on the Federal Goverment than on the different Nation branches. At the same time, Roosvelt hardly ever changed his oppinion, having to face consecuencies that could have been avoided.
