This work presents an analysis of the combination of ideals and self-interest that has motivated US foreign policy since the country's inception, but especially throughout the 20th or American century Choice.
Book Description
Here is a survey of US foreign relations and its perceived crusade to spread liberty and democracy in the two hundred years since the American Revolution. This book explores whether consciousness and "spirit" has been driven by materialism as Marx believed all history has been. David Ryan undertakes a systematic and material analysis of US foreign policy, while also explaining the policymakers' grand ideologies and the ideas that have shaped US diplomacy.
US Foreign Policyexplores these arguments by taking a thematic approach structured around central episodes and ideas in the history of US foreign relations and policy making, including: The Monroe Doctrine, its philisophical goals and impact; Imperialism and expansionism; the Cold War; Third World development; the "evil empires" of Nasser, the Sandinistas and Sadam Hussein; and the place of goal for economic integration within foreign affairs
