In his last work before his death in 2014, American historian
Martin J. Sklar analyzes the influence of early twentieth-century
foreign policy makers, focusing on modernization, global
development, and the meaning of the 'American Century'. Calling
this group of government officials and their advisors, including
business leaders and economists, the 'founders of US foreign
policy', Sklar examines their perspective on America's role in
shaping human progress from cycles of empires to transnational
post-imperialism. Sklar traces how this thinking both anticipated
and generated the course of history from the Spanish-American War
to World War II, through the Cold War and its outcome, and to
post-9/11 global conflicts. The 'founders' legacy is interpreted in
Wilson's Fourteen Points, Henry Luce's 1941 'American Century' Life
editorial, and foreign policy formulation to the present. Showing
how modernization has evolved, Sklar discusses capitalism and
socialism in relation to modern democracy in the US and to emergent
globalizing forces.
