Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes America's international relations through the lens of a new, crucial issue: the Philippines. The author identifies two American diplomatic maxims: one promoting self-restraint and avoiding alliances; the other asserting noninterference in the affairs of the Americas. The author argues these maxims have guided American policy since the nation's inception. However, due to the demanding new reality of the post-Spanish-American War era, particularly the acquisition of the Philippines, the author contends it is time to reassess these principles. The author explores the internal and external challenges America will face as a colonial power in the East, and how pursuing such an empire may force a re-examination of America's international policy, potentially compromising its historic position as a dominant American power and the continent's paramount arbiter. The author concludes that the choice facing America is whether to keep these guiding tenets or abandon them in favor of the Philippines, thereby fundamentally altering the course of America's foreign policy and its role in the world.
