Kupchan Key Selling Points • Examines isolationism across US history, considering previously overlooked but key debates from the nineteenth century • Locates isolationism's staying power in the narrative of American exceptionalism, offering a fresh interpretation of the nation's history and identity • Refurbishes isolationism's reputation, recognizing that its practice during the 1930s constituted dangerous delusion, but rediscovering the many strategic advantages it afforded the United States during its impressive ascent • Mines the nation's past to uncover the ideological and political roots of ongoing changes in US foreign policy, including the sources of Trump's "America First" doctrine • Speaks directly to the building debates over key issues: strategic retrenchment, democracy promotion, protectionism, immigration, and the domestic sources of foreign policy • Lays out a path for finding a middle ground between isolationism and overreach, 9780199393022 between doing too little and doing too much 0199393028 Pub Date: 10/1/2020 $29.95 Summary Discount Code: 02 In his Farewell Address of 1796, President George Washington admonished the young Hardcover nation "to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world." 456 Pages Isolationism thereafter became one of the most influential political trends in American Political Science / Geopolitics history. From the founding era until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United POL062000 States shunned strategic commitments abroad, making only brief detours during the Spanish-American War and World War I. Amid World War II and the Cold War, Americans abandoned isolationism; they tried to run the world rather than run away from it. But isolationism is making a comeback as Americans tire of foreign entanglement. In this definitive and magisterial analysis-the first book to tell the fascinating story of isolationism across the arc of American history-Charles Kupchan explores the enduring connection between the isolationist impulse and the American experience. He also refurbishes isolationism's reputation, arguing that it constituted dangerous delusion during the 1930s, but afforded the nation clear strategic advantages during its ascent. Kupchan traces isolationism's staying power to the ideology of American exceptionalism. Strategic detachment from the outside world was to protect the nation's unique experiment in liberty, which America would then share with others through the power of example. Since 1941, the United States has taken a much more interventionist approach to changing the world. But it has overreached, prompting Americans to rediscover the allure of nonentanglement and an America First foreign policy. The United States is hardly destined to return to isolationism, yet a strategic pullback is inevitable. Americans now need to find the middle ground between doing too much and doing too little. Contributor Bio Charles A. Kupchan is Professor of International Affairs in the School of Foreign Service and Government Department at Georgetown University, and Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. From 2014 to 2017, Kupchan served in the Obama administration as Special Assistant to the President on the National Security Council. He also served on the National Security Council during the Clinton administration. He is the author of The End of the American Era (Knopf), How Enemies Become Friends (Princeton), and No One's World

  • The Discourse on Criminality and the Practice of Punishment in Late Imperial Russia and Early Soviet Union
    2017-10-19 11-11-48 --- Projekt: transcript.anzeigen / Dokument: FAX ID 02cc474765229486|(S. 1- 2) VOR4159.p 474765229494 From: Riccardo Nicolosi, Anne Hartmann (eds.) Born to be Criminal The Discourse on Criminality and the Practice of Punishment in Late Imperial Russia and Early Soviet Union. Interdisciplinary Approaches November 2017, 252 p., 39,99 €, ISBN 978-3-8376-4159-2 This collection of essays explores the continuities and disruptions in the perceptions of criminality, its causes and ways of fighting it in late imperial Russia and the early So- viet Union. It focuses on both the discourse on criminality and thus the conceptualisa- tion of criminality in various disciplines (criminology, psychiatry, and literature), and penal practice, that is, different aspects of criminal law and anti-crime policy. Thus, the volume is markedly interdisciplinary, with authors representing a variety of approach- es in history and literary studies, from social history to discourse analysis, from the history of sciences to text analysis. Riccardo Nicolosi (PhD) is professor of Slavic literatures at the Ludwig-Maximilians- Universität Munich. His latest publications explore the rhetorical and narrative inter- faces between literature and science. Anne Hartmann (PhD) is an assistant researcher und lecturer in the Slavic department at the University of Bochum. In her current research she concentrates on Western in- tellectuals visiting the Stalinist USSR and on Soviet labour-camp literature.

  • How Much Is Too Much?
    LINCOLN MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW __________________________________ VOLUME 3 FALL 2015 _____________________________________ THE NSA’S EAVESDROPPING OPERATIONS AFTER THE SNOWDEN REVELATIONS: HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? JANUARY 2015 SYMPOSIUM TRANSCRIPT James Bamford MR. JACOB BAGGETT: I have the pleasure of introducing Mr. James Bamford as our first speaker. Mr. Bamford is an award-winning journalist in the field of national security. The New York Times calls him the nation's premier journalist on the subject of the NSA. And his most recent book, "The Shadow Factory", which is on sale outside by Union Avenue Books, was named by the Washington Post as one of the best books of the year. And he's here to discuss the transformation of the NSA since September 11th. Please welcome Mr. Bamford. (Applause) MR. JAMES BAMFORD: Thanks very much. It's really great being here. I want to thank Matt Lyon and Melanie Reid, Jacob Baggett, and Lauren Mullins for taking really great care of me. It's really great being here. The fact that this university is named after NSA AFTER SNOWDEN 116 President Lincoln is really quite an honor for me because I've always admired one of the things he's said. And that is the quote he has up here. I think if he had been President about a dozen years ago, we might not have gotten into the war in Iraq. If you read his quote there, "[k]ings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object."1 He was very much against attacking countries without getting congressional approval.

  • Timeline of US Govt. Surveillance & Spying
    The history of United States government domestic surveillance and spying is long. Over the years, the US government has launched covert and illegal projects whose purpose among other is to "expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize" movements for justice and freedom. Launched in March 2008, the LAPD Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) – Special Order 1 and iWATCH “See Something, Say Something” Program is one such open assault on people’s privacy and freedom, done under the pretext of “national security and the war on terror”. 1798: Congress passes four laws which come to be known collectively as the Alien and Sedition Acts: o June 17, 1798: The Naturalization Act increases the amount of time necessary for immigrants to become naturalized citizens in the United States from five to fourteen years; 1 o June 24, 1798: The Alien Friends Act authorizes the president to deport any resident alien considered "dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States;”2 o July 5, 1798: The Alien Enemies Act authorizes the president to apprehend and deport resident aliens if their home countries are at war with the United States of America. This includes aliens who are not chargeable with actual hostility or other crime against the public safety;3 o July 13, 1798: The Sedition Act makes it a crime to "oppose any measure or measures of the government" as well as to publish "false, scandalous, and malicious writing" against the government or its officials. The Act is intended to stifle dissent.4 April 12, 1917: President Wilson persuades Congress to declare war on Germany and enter World War 1, but the American public is wary of the financial and military cost.
