Ideology drives American foreign policy in ways seen and unseen.
Racialized notions of subjecthood and civilization underlay the
political revolution of eighteenth-century white colonizers;
neoconservatism, neoliberalism, and unilateralism propelled the
post-Cold War United States to unleash catastrophe in the Middle
East. Ideologies order and explain the world, project the illusion
of controllable outcomes, and often explain success and failure.
How does the history of U.S. foreign relations appear differently
when viewed through the lens of ideology? This book explores the
ideological landscape of international relations from the colonial
era to the present. Contributors examine ideologies developed to
justify-or resist-white settler colonialism and free-trade
imperialism, and they discuss the role of nationalism in
immigration policy. The book reveals new insights on the role of
ideas at the intersection of U.S. foreign and domestic policy and
politics. It shows how the ideals coded as "civilization,"
"freedom," and "democracy" legitimized U.S. military interventions
and enabled foreign leaders to turn American power to their
benefit. The book traces the ideological struggle over competing
visions of democracy and of American democracy's place in the world
and in history. It highlights sources beyond the realm of
traditional diplomatic history, including nonstate actors and
historically marginalized voices. Featuring the foremost
specialists as well as rising stars, this book offers a
foundational statement on the intellectual history of U.S. foreign
policy.
