Essentially, the Nixon Doctrine was Richard Nixon's foreign policy manifesto. It outlined that the United States would provide help to foreign nations combatting communism with financial aid rather than military aid. This essentially was to limit the deployment of US military abroad, like in Vietnam or Korea.
The Nixon Doctrine was in line with Nixon's idea of "Detente" which literally means "relaxation" in French. Nixon wanted to defuse relations with China and the USSR by withdrawing US troops from "proxy wars" (wars fought between two opposing sides but either side is backed by a foreign power, in this case the United States and the USSR).
To answer the final part of your question, the Nixon Doctrine had initial success. The Doctrine was intrinsic to the Paris Peace Conference in 1973 which saw the end to the Vietnam War. It also allowed Nixon to obtain the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT) with the USSR, which limited the amount of nuclear missiles (ICBM's especially), and become the first US President to visit Communist China. The Doctrine was essentially a part of a plan for "peaceful coexistence" between the democracies and the communists, and may have been successful were it not for Nixon's downfall in 1974 and Ford and Carter's lack of continuity in the Doctrine.

Damm [24]

Initiative referendum and recall were three reforms in state governments. The goal of these reforms was to prevent the federal government from intruding into state government.

<h3>What was the overall goal of the initiative referendum and recall?</h3>

Three reserved powers—initiative, referendum, and recall—allow voters to propose or reject legislation or to remove an elected official from office by a petition.

The REFERENDUM enables voters to submit legislative acts to the ballot before they become law through the petitioning procedure. The referendum also gives the Legislature the ability to submit legislation for voter approval or rejection.

In order to accomplish each goal, you will make high-level efforts known as initiatives. By establishing initiatives, you are merely defining the broad categories of work that must be completed in order to achieve the objectives and carry out the bigger strategy that has been established.
