- catalog abstract ""Beginning in the era of the Spanish-American war, the United States found itself increasingly involved in the affairs of countries beyond North America. The New World Power offers an interpretive framework for understanding U.S. foreign policy during the first two decades of America's emergence as a world power. Robert E. Hannigan describes the aspirations of American leaders, explores the bedrock social views and ideological framework they held in common, and shows how the approach of U.S. policy makers overseas mirrored their attitudes toward domestic affairs. The vast bulk of work on U. S. foreign policy has been concerned with the period from World War II to the present, so this comprehensive examination of American policy at the turn of the twentieth century makes an especially important contribution to the understanding of subsequent events." "Hannigan relates U.S. foreign policy to domestic society in ways that are new; in particular, he examines how issues of class, race, and gender shaped the way policy makers approached foreign affairs. His book reveals a fundamental unity to U.S. activity throughout the period, not only toward China and the Caribbean, regions that have been the traditional focus of historians, but toward the rest of North America as well as South America. It also relates these regional activities to American policy toward the British Empire, European great power rivalries, and international institutions, arbitration, and law, culminating in a reinterpretation of U.S. involvement in World War I." "Based on exhaustive research in the writings of presidents, secretaries of state, and key diplomats and advisers, The New World Power draws parallels between the strategies used by policy makers who sought to shape international society and the methods by which many of them hoped to secure the conditions they wanted within the United States. Most important, the book describes how through an international search for order American leaders sought to ensure for the United States a position of wealth and greatness in the coming twentieth-century world."--Jacket.".
