Did the foreign policy of the United States after world war 2 have a name?

Following WWII, the United States came to the realization that a policy of isolationism and general neutrality was insufficient for world affairs. The United States, following the war, adopted the Truman Doctrine policy of containment. Thus, the U.S. sought to contain communism and prevent it from spreading. This required the U.S. to become greatly involved in world affairs, propping up questionable or nefarious regimes simply to prevent them from falling to Soviet communism. These interventionist policies led to U.S. involvement in the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Gulf War as well as numerous small scale conflicts such as incursions into various Central American countries and the bombing of Libya, invasion of Grenada and others.
