No modern president has had as much influence on American national
politics as Franklin D. Roosevelt. During FDR's administration,
power shifted from states and localities to the federal government;
within the federal government it shifted from Congress to the
president; and internationally, it moved from Europe to the United
States. All of these changes required significant effort on the
part of the president, who triumphed over fierce opposition and
succeeded in remaking the American political system in ways that
continue to shape our politics today.
Using the metaphor of the good neighbour, Mary E. Stuckey examines
the persuasive work that took place to authorise these changes.
Through the metaphor, FDR's administration can be better
understood: his emphasis on communal values; the importance of
national mobilisation in domestic as well as foreign affairs in
defence of those values; his use of what he considered a
particularly democratic approach to public communication; his
treatment of friends and his delineation of enemies; and finally,
the ways in which he used this rhetoric to broaden his
neighbourhood from the limits of the United States to encompass the
entire world, laying the groundwork for American ideological
dominance in the post-World War II era.
