This book is focused on explaining the grand strategic behavior of
the United States from the Founding of the Republic to the Trump
administration. To do so it employs a neoclassical realist
framework to argue that while systemic change explains the broad
evolution of US grand strategy, the precise shape and content of
the grand strategies pursued has been conditioned by domestic
political culture and interests. The book argues that distinct
political cultures of statecraft (Hamiltonian, Jeffersonian,
Jacksonian and Wilsonian) have acted as permissive filters through
which policy-makers have interpreted and responded to systemic
stimuli making some grand strategy choices more likely than others
in the pursuit of national security. The book demonstrates that
while primacist grand strategies were facilitated by the
predominance from the mid-19th century to the early 21st century of
the vindicationist Hamiltonian and Wilsonian forms of statecraft,
the costs of primacy have now stimulated the resurgence of the long
dormant, exemplarist Jeffersonian and Jacksonian forms of
statecraft under the Obama and Trump administrations, resulting in
grand strategies that seek to either manage or stave off decline in
America's relative power position.
