Beisner addresses these issues by recasting the questions involved, and synthesizes the most useful contributions of both traditional and revisionist historians. From the Old Diplomacy to the New reinterprets the entire period as one in which American foreign policy underwent a fundamental paradigm shift that affected the goals and methods of diplomacy. A commitment to systematic policy and a determination to promote American interests in a dangerous world characterized the new diplomacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Robert Beisner has provided a good updating of an already solid work, and \u003ci\u003eFrom the Old Diplomacy to the New\u003c\/i\u003e can be recommended for a nineteenth-century diplomatic history course.\" (\u003ci\u003eTeaching History\u003c\/i\u003e, 1986)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for the \u003ci\u003efirst edition\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"... an important new interpretation of foreign relations in the Gilded Age and an impressive challenge for future analysis.\" (\u003ci\u003ePacific Historical Review\u003c\/i\u003e, February 1976)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne: Underlying Themes and Issues 3\u003cbr\u003e Circumstantial Givens 3\u003cbr\u003e American Beliefs and Traditions 9\u003cbr\u003e Conflicting Interpretations 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo: Old Paradigm Policy, 1865-1889 32\u003cbr\u003e Paradigms and Diplomacy 32\u003cbr\u003e The Alabama claims and Mexico 38\u003cbr\u003e Seward, Grant, and Blaine 44\u003cbr\u003e A Navy Fit Enough 57\u003cbr\u003e Day-to-Day Diplomatic Preoccupations 60\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree: From the Old to the New Foreign Policy paradigm 72\u003cbr\u003e Sudden Blows to the Old Paradigm 72\u003cbr\u003e The Impact of Cumulative Change 77\u003cbr\u003e The New Paradigm 84\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFour: Early years of the New Era, 1889-1897 96\u003cbr\u003e Benjamin Harrison 96\u003cbr\u003e Grover Cleveland 106\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFive: War, Policy, and Imperialism at the End of the Century, 1897-1900 120\u003cbr\u003e War and Empire 122\u003cbr\u003e The Open Door Policy 144\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHarbingers 154\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliographical Essay 159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSubject Index 183\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthor Index 193\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49528409260375,"sku":"9780882958330","price":22.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780882958330.jpg?v=1731871515","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/from-the-old-diplomacy-to-the-new-9780882958330","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
