no explicit mention of a "hillary doctrine" by name has been made by clinton herself. moreover, in "hard choices", she stated that there was no unified "obama doctrine" during her tenure either, saying the range of problems the country faced did not allow for a "simple and elegant road map" to deal with them. however, in an august 2014 interview with journalist jeffrey goldberg of "the atlantic", clinton seems to yearn for such an approach in dealing with jihadism that was comparable to the containment strategy the u.s. used against the soviet union during the cold war. she made reference to a much-quoted simple dictum of obama's by saying, "great nations need organizing principles, and 'don't do stupid stuff' is not an organizing principle." analyzing this interview, in august 2014, journalist john cassidy wrote an article called "the hillary doctrine: 'smart power' or 'back to the crusades'?" in "the new yorker" that stated that clinton was advocating "a sustained global campaign targeting radical islam (some, doubtless, will call it a 'crusade') that encompasses all of the options at the disposal of the united states and its allies: military, diplomatic, economic, political, and rhetorical." but again, the phrase "hillary doctrine" is only in the piece's headline.
