This book explores US foreign policy, specifically the history of
America's entry into the War of 1812, the First World War, the
Korean War and the First Gulf War. Using a historical case study
approach, it demonstrates how the Wilsonian Framework can give us a
unique understanding of why the United States chose to go to war in
those four conflicts. Cox argues that the Wilsonian Framework is an
important concern for decision makers in the US and that democracy
promotion and the concept of international law are driving factors
in each of these decisions to go to war. The realist and economic
explanations of these conflicts are not sufficient and we must draw
on Wilsonianism to gain a clear understanding of these conflicts.
Drawing on the history of American liberalism and the work of
Walter Russel Mead and Tony Smith, the book presents a definition
of Wilsonianism that represents a broad span of the history of The
Republic, in order to show consistency across time. It also
establishes why the realist and economic explanations fail to
provide sufficient explanatory power and how the Wilsonian
Framework can give important insights into these conflicts. This
book will be of interest to international historians and
international relations scholars at both postgraduate and scholar
level. It will also be of use to those wishing to conduct future
research into the motivations that drive the foreign and security
policies of the United States.
