The collection is organised chronologically and looks at the work of intellectuals who have written both in support and critically about US foreign policy in various geographical and historical contexts.  This includes Andrew Carnegie, Carl Schmitt, Hans Morgenthau, George Kennan, Samuel Huntington, Paul Wolfowitz and many other such thinkers and practitioners who have contributed in shaping the ways in which we have come to think of US foreign policy over the years.

This stimulating collection of essays opens up a fascinating and far wider range of perspectives on the intellectual history of American foreign policy that help provide the conceptual, theoretical an empirical resources to help us all think more creatively about that history.’\u003cbr\u003eAndrew Hurrell, Montague Burton Professor of International Relations, Balliol College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Realist or idealist? For years, it appeared that was the only question ever asked about American foreign policy. Now, Jean-Francois Drolet and James Dunkerley have consigned that simplistic dichotomy to history. In this brilliant collection, an unrivalled cast of scholars reveal the real role of complex ideologies of race and nation in the making of American power.’\u003cbr\u003eMarc Stears, Professor and Director, Sydney Policy Lab, University of Sydney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This original and distinctive book subverts many common assumptions about the origins and character of the ideas that have shaped America's role in the world.
