  • Gunboat Economics?
    Andreas Exenberger, Dr. Research Area “Economic and Social History” Faculty of Economics and Statistics, Leopold-Franzens-University Innsbruck Universitaetsstrasse 15, A-6020 Innsbruck Tel.: (+43)-(0)512-507-7409 E-mail: [email protected] Homepage: http://www.uibk.ac.at/economics/exenberger Paper for AHE 08 (London, July 14-16, 2006) (Version of June 1, 2006; rough draft, no citation without explicit permission) Gunboat Economics? An Essay about some of the Relationships between Wealth and Violence Introduction By working on the relevance of violence in economics (from an historical perspective) I discovered something seeming rather strange at first site: although there are a lot of historical examples that the performance (and appearance) of “gunboats” (not necessarily in the literal sense) directly influenced economic relations, there is no conceptual approach about that interrelation neither in economics nor in history. And while the term “gunboat diplomacy” is cited extensively in political and historical (and sometimes even in economical) contexts und even more, is commonly understood, there is no such thing as “gunboat economics” at all. To be correct, this is not completely true. In 1985 Jeffrey Garten published an article in Foreign Affairs even entitled “Gunboat Economics”. In the text however, he did not mention the term again and confuses it throughout the article, which is mainly a critique of Reaganomics and the unilateral (and economically protectionist) foreign policy of the administration Reagan I (1981-84), with gunboat diplomacy. Interestingly enough, during the last twenty years U.S. problem-solving did not change very much and both Bushes as well as Clinton continued and even intensified a foreign policy resting on means that can be summarized as “gunboats” (as I said, not necessarily in the literal sense, because the “gunboats” of our times are not battleships, but long-distance missiles, intervention forces and diplomatic pressure).

  • William Howard Taft, Dollar Diplomacy, 1912 in His Fourth State of The
    William Howard Taft, Dollar Diplomacy, 1912 In his fourth State of the Union Address, President William Howard Taft sought to define his own framework for U.S. policy in Latin America. Here he used the phrase, “substituting dollars for bullets,” and in the rest of the selection explained what he meant by that expression. To the Senate and House of Representatives: The foreign relations of the United States actually and potentially affect the state of the Union to a degree not widely realized and hardly surpassed by any other factor in the welfare of the whole Nation. The position of the United States in the moral, intellectual, and material relations of the family of nations should be a matter of vital interest to every patriotic citizen. The national prosperity and power impose upon us duties which we can not shirk if we are to be true to our ideals. The tremendous growth of the export trade of the United States has already made that trade a very real factor in the industrial and commercial prosperity of the country. With the development of our industries the foreign commerce of the United States must rapidly become a still more essential factor in its economic welfare. Whether we have a farseeing and wise diplomacy and are not recklessly plunged into unnecessary wars, and whether our foreign policies are based upon an intelligent grasp of present-day world conditions and a clear view of the potentialities of the future, or are governed by a temporary and timid expediency or by narrow views befitting an infant nation, are questions in the alternative consideration of which must convince any thoughtful citizen that no department of national polity offers greater opportunity for promoting the interests of the whole people on the one hand, or greater chance on the other of permanent national injury, than that which deals with the foreign relations of the United States.

  • William Howard Taft and Dollar Diplomacy
    WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT AND DOLLAR DIPLOMACY - Roosevelt's successor, William Taft (1909-1913), did not carry a big stick - Taft adopted a foreign policy that was mildly expansionist but depended more on investors' dollars than on the navy's battleships - Taft's policy of trying to promote U.S. trade by supporting American enterprises abroad was given the name dollar diplomacy DOLLAR DIPLOMACY IN EAST ASIA AND LATIN AMERICA - Taft believed that private American financial investment in China & the nations of Central America would lead to greater stability there, while at the same time promoting U.S. business interests - Taft's policy was thwarted by one major obstacle: growing anti-imperialism both in the U.S. & overseas RAILROADS IN CHINA - Taft wanted U.S. bankers to be included in a British, French, and German plan to invest in railroads in China & Taft succeeded in securing American participation in an agreement signed in 1911 - In the northern province of Manchuria, however, the U.S., was excluded from an agreement between Russia & Japan to build railroads there - In direct defiance of the U.S. Open Door policy, Russian & Japan agreed to treat Manchuria as a jointly held sphere of influence INTERVENTION IN NICARAGUA - To protect U.S. investments, the U.S. intervened in Nicaragua's financial affairs in 1911, & sent in marines when a civil war broke out in 1912 - The marines remained, except for a short period, until 1933 THE LODGE COROLLARY - Henry Cabot Lodge, a Republican senator from Massachusetts, was responsible for another action

  • The Old and New Significance of Political Economy
    Review of International Studies (2004), 30, 343–360 Copyright © British International Studies Association DOI: 10.1017/S0260210504006102 The old and new significance of political economy in diplomacy DONNA LEE AND DAVID HUDSON* Abstract. In a growing number of countries diplomatic systems are being overhauled so that the commercial activities of diplomatic services have been centralised, the commercial activities of diplomats have been extended, and business interests have been formally integrated within diplomatic systems. These changes result directly from the tendency of governments to reorganise, and in many cases merge, their trade and foreign ministries, as well as the strategy of building formal business–government links within diplomatic institutions. While none of these features is unfamiliar to previous diplomatic systems, what is exceptional is the relative neglect of the commercial aspects of diplomacy within diplomatic studies. This lack of attention to the commercial and business elements of diplomacy in traditional theories of diplomacy means that we find ourselves trying to analyse contemporary changes to diplomatic organisation and practice without a suitable conceptual and analytical framework. Highlighting the significance of a political economy approach to diplomacy, and also engaging with orthodox approaches to diplomacy, this article begins to develop some analytical and conceptual tools to better identify, explain and understand changes in diplomatic systems as well as the increased influence of private interests in diplomatic practice now under way. This article is informed by a concern with changes in diplomatic practice and organis- ation in a growing number of states: more specifically, the emerging importance attached to commercial elements of diplomacy.1 In North America, Europe, Southern Africa, and Asia, commercial diplomacy has become a foreign policy priority of various governments.
