Power and Restraint: The Rise of the United States, 1898–1941
Jeffrey W. Meiser
Explores why the United States - counter to widely accepted wisdom in international relations theory - chose the course it did. In this book the author asserted that domestic political institutions and culture played a decisive role in preventing the mobilization of resources necessary to implement an expansionist grand strategy.
Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.; At the end of the 19th century, the United States emerged as an economic colossus in command of a new empire. Yet for the next forty years the United States eschewed the kind of aggressive grand strategy that had marked other rising imperial powers in favor of a policy of moderation. In 'Power and Restraint', Jeffrey W. Meiser explores why the United States - counter to widely accepted wisdom in international relations theory - chose the course it did.
