In this seminar we have chosen to concentrate on republicanism, nationalism, balance of power, and Wilsonianism. What is meant by each of these concepts? Are there others that might profitably be examined as well? 3

Monday, July 12 9:00 am - 10:30 am: Professor Suri (Seminar Room, Lower Level, Founders Hall) Topic: Jeffersonian Republicanism and the American Revolution Focus: What were the assumptions about republicanism that guided early American foreign policy? How did republican assumptions differentiate American diplomacy from the practices of European counterparts? How did republican foreign policy relate to domestic policy?

How did this division manifest itself in foreign affairs? In what sense did the positions of each represent specific regional and class interests, and to what extent did they reflect deeply-held beliefs about the nature of the republic? Gilbert, To the Farewell Address, pp. 76-136. Hunt, Ideology and U.S. Foreign Policy, pp. 92-102. McDougall, Promised Land, Crusader State, pp. 28-49. The Pacificus-Helvidius Debate, 1793.

(Photocopied Reading 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm: Professor Suri (Seminar Room, Lower Level, Founders Hall) Topic: Republicanism and Manifest Destiny Focus: During the mid-19 th century westward expansion dominated American foreign policy. What role did republican ideas play in this period? How did westward expansion transform Jeffersonian republican assumptions? McDougall, Promised Land, Crusader State, pp. 76-98. Mead, Special Providence, pp. 218-63. Thomas Jefferson, Third Annual Message to Congress, October 17, 1803. (Photocopied Reading John L. O Sullivan on Manifest Destiny, 1839. (Photocopied Reading Homestead Act, May 20, 1862. (Photocopied Reading 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm: Professor Moser (Seminar Room, Lower Level, Founders Hall) Topic: Republicanism and Anti-Imperialism Focus: During the 1890s the United States found itself in possession of overseas territories such as the Philippines and Guam. Why did so many Americans oppose this? How did they define empire, and how did they believe that it would threaten republican ideals? Were their fears well founded? Hunt, Ideology and U.S. Foreign Policy, pp. 58-90. McDougall, Promised Land, Crusader State, pp. 101-121. Henry Van Dyke, The American Birthright and the Philippine Pottage.

Tuesday, July 13 9:00 am - 10:30 am: Professor Suri (Seminar Room, Lower Level, Founders Hall) Topic: Adams, Franklin, and Early American Nationalism Focus: Some historians have argued that the idea of American nationalism preceded the existence of a true American nation. What were the sources of early American nationalism? How did early American nationalism influence the ways Americans interacted with the wider world? Hunt, Ideology and U.S. Foreign Policy, pp. 19-45. McDougall, Promised Land, Crusader State, pp. 39-56. Albany Plan of Union, 1754.

(Photocopied Reading 10:50 am - 12:20 pm: Professor Suri (Seminar Room, Lower Level, Founders Hall) Topic: John Quincy Adams and Nationalist Realism Focus: By many accounts, John Quincy Adams remains the most impressive foreign policy statesman in American history. How did his policies merge popular nationalism with a sophisticated understanding of international realism? How did his statements and policies influence the future course of American foreign relations? McDougall, Promised Land, Crusader State, pp. 57-75. Mead, Special Providence, pp. 99-131. Monroe Doctrine, December 2, 1823. (Photocopied Reading John Quincy Adams Inaugural Address, March 4, 1825. (Photocopied Reading 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm: Professor Moser (Seminar Room, Lower Level, Founders Hall) 6

Topic: Lincoln, Seward, and National Union Focus: Lincoln and his secretary of state asserted the primacy of the nation over the states. What were the implications of this for foreign policy? In what sense is it fair to say that the Civil War created or at least redefined the notion of American nationalism? Lincoln s First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861. (Photocopied Reading William H. Seward to William L. Dayton, June 17, 1861. (Photocopied Reading Seward on the Right of a Nation to Defend its Existence, August 1862.

(Photocopied Reading Wednesday, July 14 9:00 am - 10:30 am: Professor Suri (Seminar Room, Lower Level, Founders Hall) Topic: TR and the Balance of Power Focus: Theodore Roosevelt s presidency marked the emergence of the United States as a global power in the early 20 th century. TR was a student of both American republicanism and the classical European balance of power. How did TR reconcile these two schools of thought as the United States grew in international stature? How did TR insert the United States into the European balance of power system? McDougall, Promised Land, Crusader State, pp. 101-21. TR, True Americanism, The Forum Magazine, April 1894. (Photocopied Reading Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, 1904. (Photocopied Reading TR, Inaugural Speech, March 4, 1905. (Photocopied Reading TR, The New Nationalism, August 31, 1910. (Photocopied Reading 10:50 am - 12:20 pm: Professor Moser (Seminar Room, Lower Level, Founders Hall) 7

Topic: Balance of Power in the 1920s Focus: The 1920s has long been portrayed as a period in which the United States retreated into isolationism. How valid is this assessment? In which ways did the United States separate itself from world affairs? In what sense did it remain involved? Hunt, Ideology and U.S. Foreign Policy, pp. 125-135. Moser, Twisting the Lion s Tail, pp. 1-83. Calvin Coolidge s Inaugural Address, 1925. (Photocopied Reading Calvin Coolidge, Intervention in Nicaragua, 1927.

(Photocopied Reading The Secretary of State to the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, 1932. (Photocopied Reading 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm: Professor Moser (Seminar Room, Lower Level, Founders Hall) Topic: Kennan, Truman, and Cold War Containment Focus: In 1940 most Americans did not believe that the German conquest of France represented a threat to national security; ten years later, however, they were prepared to see U.S. troops fighting to protect South Korea. Why did the Truman administration adopt containment as its foreign policy? In what sense was this an outgrowth of traditional balance-of-power diplomacy? How was containment understood by Truman and his successors? Hunt, Ideology and U.S. Foreign Policy, pp. 150-170. McDougall, Promised Land, Crusader State, pp. 158-171. Moser, Twisting the Lion s Tail, pp. 171-178. George Kennan, Excerpts from the Long Telegram, February 22, 1946. (Photocopied Reading The Truman Doctrine, March 12, 1947.

(Photocopied Reading 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm: Professor Suri (Seminar Room, Lower Level, Founders Hall) 8

Topic: Henry Kissinger and Détente Focus: Henry Kissinger is the most controversial figure in the recent history of American foreign relations. His policies of détente reduced the role of ideology and increased the influence of the balance of power in America s Cold War diplomacy. How did Kissinger, President Nixon, and others pursue détente? What were its implications for the Cold War and the international system as a whole? Suri, Power and Protest, 1-43, 213-59. Memoranda of Conversation from Nixon and Kissinger s trip to China, February 1972 (Photocopied Reading o February 22, 1972, 2:10 p.m. 6:10 p.m. o February 23, 1972, 2:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m. o February 24, 1972, 5:15 p.m. 8:05 p.m. o February 23, 1972, 9:35 a.m. 12:34 p.m. Thursday, July 15 9:00 am - 10:30 am: Professor Moser (Seminar Room, Lower Level, Founders Hall) Topic: Woodrow Wilson and World War I Focus: Few American presidents have had as lasting an influence on American foreign policy as Wilson. Was his effort to interject idealism into international affairs represent a naïve attempt to deny reality, or was it a legitimate effort to bring much-needed reform to the conduct of diplomacy? Hunt, Ideology and U.S. Foreign Policy, pp. 107-135. McDougall, Promised Land, Crusader State, pp. 122-146. Mead, Special Providence, pp. 132-173. Woodrow Wilson, War Message to Congress, April 2, 1917. (Photocopied Reading Speeches by Senators Norris and LaFollette opposing US entry into World War I, 1917.

10:50 am - 12:20 pm: Professor Moser (Seminar Room, Lower Level, Founders Hall) Topic: FDR as Halfway Wilsonian Focus: Historians have often found Franklin Roosevelt difficult to pin down on foreign policy (and on everything else, for that matter). To what extent could he be viewed as continuing in the tradition of Wilsonian idealism? How much of this was leavened by faith in the balance of power? Hunt, Ideology and U.S. Foreign Policy, pp. 135-150. McDougall, Promised Land, Crusader State, pp. 147-158. Moser, Twisting the Lion s Tail, pp. 84-170.

They underpinned much of the anticommunist rhetoric in the Cold War. They found adherents in both the Democratic and 10

Republican parties. Why did Wilsonian ideas remain so influential? How did they influence particular policies? What is their role in a post-cold War world? Suri, Power and Protest, pp. 131-63. McDougall, Promised Land, Crusader State, pp. 172-222. National Security Strategy of the United States of America, September 2002. (Photocopied Reading 10:50 am - 12:20 pm: Professors Moser and Suri (Seminar Room, Lower Level, Founders Hall) Topic: The Future of American Foreign Policy Focus: We are living through a critical stage in American Foreign Relations. In what sense can the ideas and traditions that we have examined in this seminar be applied to the War on Terror and other aspects of the current administration s foreign policy? Which ideas and traditions are likely to play a leading role in shaping American diplomacy in the next generation? Kagan, Of Paradise and Power. Suri, Power and Protest, pp. 260-65. Mead, Special Providence, pp. 310-338. 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm: Boxed Lunch/Check Out of Apartments (Lobby of Apartment Building A) 11
