Dismantling the myths of United States isolationism and
exceptionalism, No Higher Law is a sweeping history and analysis of
American policy toward the Western Hemisphere and Latin America
from independence to the present. From the nation's earliest days,
argues Brian Loveman, U.S. leaders viewed and treated Latin America
as a crucible in which to test foreign policy and from which to
expand American global influence. Loveman demonstrates how the main
doctrines and policies adopted for the Western Hemisphere were
exported, with modifications, to other world regions as the United
States pursued its self-defined global mission. No Higher Law
reveals the interplay of domestic politics and international
circumstances that shaped key American foreign policies from U.S.
independence to the first decade of the twenty-first century. This
revisionist view considers the impact of slavery, racism, ethnic
cleansing against Native Americans, debates on immigration, trade
and tariffs, the historical growth of the military-industrial
complex, and political corruption as critical dimensions of
American politics and foreign policy. Concluding with an epilogue
on the Obama administration, Loveman weaves together the complex
history of U.S. domestic politics and foreign policy to achieve a
broader historical understanding of American expansionism,
militarism, imperialism, and global ambitions as well as novel
insights into the challenges facing American policymakers at the
beginning of the twenty-first century.
