Stephen Krasner's assumption of a distinction between state and
society is the root of his argument for the superiority of a
statist interpretation of American foreign policy. Here he
challenges the two dominant and rival interpretations of the
relationship between state and society: interest group liberalism
and Marxism. He contends that the state is an autonomous entity
acting on behalf of the national interest, and that state behavior
cannot be explained by group or class interest. On the basis of
fifteen case studies drawn from extensive public records and
published literature on American raw materials policy in the
twentieth-century, Professor Krasner provides empirical substance
to the debate about the meaning of the "national interest," the
importance of bureaucratic politics, and the influence of business
on American foreign policy.
