This timely collection of essays offers one of the first serious
efforts to assess the record of American foreign policy over the
course of the twentieth century. The essays comprise the work of
political scientists as well as historians, conservatives as well
as liberals, foreign scholars as well as Americans. Taking off from
Henry Luce's vision of an "American century," the authors discuss
such important topics as the American conception of the national
interest, the tension between democracy and capitalism, the U. S.
role in both the developed and underdeveloped worlds, party
politics and foreign policy, the significance of race in American
foreign relations, and the cultural impact of American diplomacy on
the world at large. The result is a lively collection of essays by
authors who often disagree but who nonetheless provide the reader
with keen insights about the past and provocative views of the
future.
