Overview

American Foreign Policy since 1899 is the second of two volumes on U.S. foreign relations in this series of core document collections. These volumes cover the major periods, themes, and institutions in American history and government. This volume tells the story of the rise of the U.S. as a world power, featuring primary sources from the period starting with the Spanish-American War and ending with the War on Terror. It also features important initiatives such as the Open Door Policy and Asian trade policy; the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine and Latin American interventionism; American neutrality, World War I and the Treaty of Versailles; the end of World War II, the early Cold War and the rise of containment; Eisenhower’s “New Look and Kennedy’s Alliance for Progress; detente, the Reagan Doctrine and the end of the Cold War; Carter’s attempt at a human-rights based foreign policy and Clintonian attempts to bolster democracy and capitalism in the 1990s; terrorism, the Middle East, and the Bush Doctrine; and finally, modern “America First” policies.

This volume is complemented by a number of other works in the Core Documents series, including American Foreign Policy before 1899, World War I and the 1920s, World War II, The Cold War, and the forthcoming Age of Vietnam. The editors have taken care to minimize the amount of overlap between volumes, so that taken together they provide comprehensive coverage of the history of U.S. foreign relations in the 20th and early 21st centuries.
