After costly U.S. engagement in two wars in the Middle East,
foreign policy debates are dominated by questions about the
appropriateness of American military interventions. A central issue
is whether an interventionist foreign policy is compatible with the
American constitutional tradition.The book examines Irving
Babbitt's (1865-1933) unique contribution to understanding the
quality of foreign policy leadership in a democracy. Babbitt
explored how a democratic nation's foreign policy is a product of
the moral and cultural tendencies of the nation's leaders and that
the substitution of expansive, sentimental Romanticism for the
religious and ethical traditions of the West would lead to
imperialism. The United States has been moving away from the
restraining order of sound constitutionalism to impose its will on
other nations, which will inevitably cause the United States to
clash with the 'civilizational' regions that have emerged in recent
decades. Democracy and Imperialism brings the question of soul
types to issues of foreign policy leadership and discusses the
qualities in leaders that are necessary for sound foreign policy.
