| Abstract | "Since the 18th century, the United States has conducted a foreign policy that differs from the foreign policies of other countries in three ways. It has been unusually ideological: political ideas have mattered a great deal. It has been unusually economic, in the sense that the United States has used economic instruments to achieve political goals. And it has been unusually democratic: public opinion has had a far-reaching impact on policy. To be sure, these features are not unique to the United States: other countries have also occasionally conducted such policies. Moreover, American foreign policies have not always and everywhere been exceptional in these ways. Sometimes they have resembled the foreign policies of other countries. Finally, public opinion has not always shaped the nation's foreign policies"-- Provided by publisher. |
