The goal of this project is to support the completion of a book on understanding the American foreign policy tradition. The book will explain how foreign policy has played a major role in domestic American politics throughout the country’s history; how foreign policy and domestic politics are much more deeply connected than the conventional wisdom acknowledges; how interest in international relations has long been a major concern of non-elite, non-mercantile elements of the American polity; and how there are persistent schools of thought about American foreign policy that have shaped and continue to shape public debates and government policy.
The result of this project was the book, Special Providence: American Foreign Policy and How It Changed the World.
