Holmes has made a major contribution to the understand- ing of American foreign policy, by developing his mood/interest theory and relating it to other major approaches. His analysis helps Americans to under- stand themselves and other nations to understand America. American foreign policy has often seemed to be unpredictable and unde- pendable, especially to observers overseas. The American system has some- times been regarded as fickle, with sudden changes of policy. Often given is the example of President Woodrow Wilson's role as the chief architect of the League of Nations, followed quickly by the league's repudiation in the Senate in 1919. A common theory in the inter-World War period was that the United States was traditionally and powerfully isolationist, so that World War I appeared to be an aberration. After World War 11, it could be argued either that this second war could prove to be only another aberration, or that the American people had been forced by the war to drop political-military introversion (or isolationism) forever. My 1947 study of American diplomatic history showed that not only had the United States become deeply involved in world affairs from about 1893 to 1919 and then "isolationist" from 1919 to 1940, but that such an alternation had occurred ever since 1776. When this theory was published in 1952, it was applied to the future to suggest that the American people would support a strong extrovert policy at least until the late 1960s, when they would be likely to revert again to a relative introversion (a leveling-off of political-military involvement). The theory was little noticed until 1967-1969, when it looked as if the predicted introversion was coming to pass. The State Department, some colum- nists, and some scholars discussed the idea in relation to the growing reaction against "Vietnam. " Holmes began work on the theory in 1969 and continued to develop and apply it in many ways, while presenting many professional papers on it. The present book is a most fruitful result of his research, as he took the mood theory and developed it into his "liberal mood/interestWtheory. Holmes helps explain the fairly regular alternation of long-time foreign policy moods by positing America's basic liberal stance (whether "reform" liberal or "business" liberal) as the steady motivating force in inducing mood shifts. Since liberals tend to dislike the exercise of concentrated power, es- xii Foreword pecially military, except when a crusading spirit takes hold, there is a fundamen- tal conflict between the liberal moods and America's political-military interests (which require the use of some degree of power). A new mood may originate with political leadership, Holmes writes, but once it is grasped by the people, it is they who dictate its continuation. In an introvert mood, one generation of Americans will underestimate the political- military factor until the security of the country appears to be endangered, inducing a shift to extroversion. In an extrovert mood, the next generation may stress the political-military factor so much as to finally violate America's liberal norms. %us, Dr. Holmes supports basic democratic pluralist theory, believing that the mass public has commendable intelligence, even though it may be lacking knowledge, and that it sets the parameters within which political leaders must act. He avers that the impact of public moods on foreign policy has been insufficiently identified and analyzed, since perhaps most scholars have sup- ported an "elitist" view of the determination of policy. At the very least, the public chooses which of the competing elites it desires to place in power. In Chapter 2, Professors Holmes and Robert E. Elder, Jr., evaluate and compare a number of behavioral or statistical studies to show that they lend general support to the theory. Then, in addition to analyzing the "elitist" approach, Dr. Holmes demonstrates how the "liberal mood/interest" theory of alternation tends to dominate or explain the application of other common theories, including pragmatism, moralism, conservatism, fortunate circum- stances and modem technology, and the recurrence of certain types of "events. " After applying the theory to America's whole historical development since 1776 in Chapter 3, the author similarly clarifies United States policy in the six major regions of the world, enabling him to discuss America's current problems in all of them, including the role of nuclear weapons. In Chapter 4, there is a full analysis of the impact of the theory on the formulation of foreign policy by the United States government, as affected by pressure groups, business, the press, and the general public. Evidence is presented to show that the presidency has been strong during extrovert phases, while the influence of Congress and pressure groups has increased in introvert phases. The president indicates direction and is informed by the federal bu- reaucracy, but is normally guided by the public mood, particularly as delineated in the press. There is a good discussion of the "military-industrial complex," showing that its influence depends largely on the public mood. The author notes that the general American liberal spirit rather consistently supports economic and humanitarian activity on the world scene, so that only political-military actions are normally subject to the alternations of moods. With a full analysis of the current dominant mood of introversion, charac- terized in part by a lack of basic consensus, the book is up-to-date and projects Foreword xiii the theory onto the future, noting the possibility that America could again allow introversion to endanger its political-military interests in the world, and lead toward a major crisis. For example, other powers could try to take advantage of this introvert mood just when a new spirit of American extroversion would be ready to respond. The next mood of extroversion can be expected by the late 1980s, if the historical pattern continues. Dr. Holmes sees a particular danger in the tendency of each of the alternating foreign policy moods to move to extremes and suggests ways in which these extremes might be prevented or minimized. Modem weapons of destruction, he writes, cannot be combined with the past degree of mood extremes. Educators have a special opportunity and responsibility, he believes, to help explain America's historical foreign policy in terms of these alternating moods, to prepare students and the public for coming shifts, and to try to develop a broader understanding of America's interests which could reduce these extremes and perhaps even help "break the pattern." The author also points out areas where further research would be helpful, such as in studying elitelmass interaction, the role of competing elites, legislative-executive com- petition in the light of the mood/interest theory, and the like. The book is well-written and convincing, with a balanced and fair point of view. A large number of American foreign policy studies are used and logically analyzed. This fresh and broad perspective and the coverage of all the basic topics affecting American foreign policy make the book suitable indeed for use as fascinating text or for general reading by students, policy makers, and the interested public.

    Notes Chapter 1 1. The various threads of the critical analysis of technology are commonly referred to as “science and technology studies” and include the social shaping of technol- ogy, the social construction of technology, and actor-network theory (see, for example, MacKenzie 1996; MacKenzie and Wajcman 1999; Law and Hassard 1999; Latour 2005; and Bijker, Hughes, and Pinch 1989).

By arguing that the digital discourse constructs individual nodes as irrational, I do not mean that the individual nodes are constructed as decidedly antirational, but simply that they are devoid of system-wide, big-picture, theoretical, and abstract rationality. 4. It is worthwhile to point out the rhetorical tool used here in order to legitimize the idea of chaos. It is reminiscent of a joke about a borrowed kettle evoked by Freud (1963)—and recently retold by Žižek (2005)—to account for the nature of logic in dreams. In the joke, the kettle owner accuses his friend of returning the kettle damaged, an accusation to which the friend replies, “I have never borrowed your kettle; I retuned it to you unbroken; it was already broken when I borrowed it.” In a similar fashion, Kelly suggests flux, chaos, and churn- ing (along with their corollary social effects of instability and unpredictability) should not be opposed to or mitigated for three reasons: this cannot be done (flux in the network economy is inevitable; a transfer of a natural phenomenon into the social realm through network technology), it is better not to do it (flux is benevolent, yielding good results for everyone); and it is dangerous to do it (since it will result in knocking the system out of its self-regulating, natural imbalance).

  • Political Conflict and Power Sharing in the Origins of Modern Colombia
    Political Conflict and Power Sharing in the Origins of Modern Colombia Sebastián Mazzuca and James A. Robinson Colombia has not always been a violent country. In fact, for the first half of the twentieth century, Colombia was one of the most peaceful countries in Latin America, standing out in the region as a highly stable and competitive bipartisan democracy. When faced with the critical test for political stability in that epoch, the Great Depression of 1930, Colombia was the only big country in South America in which military interventions were not even considered. While an armed coup interrupted Argentina’s until then steady path to democracy, and Getulio Vargas installed the first modern dictatorship in Brazil, Colombia cele brated elections as scheduled. Moreover, the ruling party lost the contest, did not make any move to cling to power, and calmly transferred power to the opposition. However, Colombia was not born peaceful. That half-century of peaceful political existence was a major novelty in Colombian history. Colombia’s nine- teenth century was politically chaotic even by Hispanic American standards: the record includes nine national civil wars, dozens of local revolts and mutinies, material destruction equivalent to the loss of several years of economic output, and at least 250,000 deaths due to political violence. How did Colombia make the transition from political chaos to political order? What were the causes of conflict before the turn of the century, and what were the bases of internal peace after it? The emergence of order in Colombia was temporally correlated with a major transformation of political institutions: the introduction of special mechanisms for power sharing between Liberals and Conservatives, Colombia’s two dominant political forces.

VON HAYEK -v- Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes. OSCAR WILDE -vi- PREFACE THE ESSAYS and lectures of which this book is composed are variations upon one very simple theme--the thesis that we can learn from our mistakes. They develop a theory of knowledge and of its growth. It is a theory of reason that assigns to rational arguments the modest and yet important role of criticizing our often mistaken attempts to solve our problems. And it is a theory of experience that assigns to our observations the equally modest and almost equally important role of tests which may help us in the discovery of our mistakes. Though it stresses our fallibility it does not resign itself to scepticism, for it also stresses the fact that knowledge can grow, and that science can progress--just because we can learn from our mistakes. The way in which knowledge progresses, and especially our scientific knowledge, is by unjustified (and unjustifiable) anticipations, by guesses, by tentative solutions to our problems, by conjectures. These conjectures are controlled by criticism; that is, by attempted refutations, which include severely critical tests.

Day Date approved: May 11, 2015 iii ABSTRACT Mexico’s traumatic Revolution (1910-1917) attested to stark divisions that had existed in the country for many years. After the dust of the war settled, post-revolutionary leaders embarked on a nation-building project that aimed to assimilate the country’s diverse (particularly indigenous) population under the umbrella of official mestizaje (or an institutionalized mixed- race identity). Indigenous Mexican woud assimilate to the state by undergoing a project of “modernization,” which would entail industrial growth through the imposition of a market-based economy. One of the most remarkable aspects of this project of nation-building was the post- revolutionary government’s decision to use art to communicate official discourses of mestizaje. From the end of the Revolution until at least the 1970s, state officials funded cultural artists whose work buoyed official discourses that posited mixed-race identity as a key component of an authentically Mexican modernity.

Get into college but then drop out. Spend your days learning computer science and your nights coding. Start a technology company and take it public. That’s the new American dream. If you’re not quite that adventurous, you could major in electrical engineering. What you are not supposed to do is study the liberal arts. Around the world, the idea of a broad-based “liberal” education is closely tied to the United States and its great universities and colleges. But in America itself, a liberal education is out of favor. In an age defined by technology and globalization, everyone is talking about skills-based learning. Politicians, businesspeople, and even many educators see it as the only way for the nation to stay competitive. They urge students to stop dreaming and start thinking practically about the skills they will need in the workplace.
