About this book
Arguments over treaties and alliances shape John Holladay Latané's study of American foreign policy. The opening distinguishes the Monroe Doctrine from political isolation, treating them as separate principles with different purposes. Washington's proclamation of neutrality and Jefferson's defense of treaties provide examples of the disputes behind national policy. The discussion asks how obligations between nations survive changes of government and how advice against lasting alliances became a broader tradition of avoiding international commitments.
Published in 1922, this revised edition extends its account to the Treaty of Versailles and the Washington Conference. Its chapters also address the Open Door policy and cooperation among American republics. A declaration of national rights sets out independence, equal legal standing and authority over territory, before the discussion turns to the recognition of governments. Latané argues that the United States should accept the responsibilities of a world power.
