Bully or Emissary? America’s Role in the World
From the beginning, American foreign policy has been profoundly influenced by what has come to be called American exceptionalism – a belief that the United States has a unique role to play in the world given the democratic ideals on which it was founded. Throughout history, the notion of American exceptionalism has produced radically different understandings of the purpose of American foreign policy. While some, like George W. Bush, have advocated an assertive, pro-democracy foreign policy, others have argued that the United States can best advance the cause of democracy through example. This panel will explore the origins of American exceptionalism, manifests of this notion in the rhetoric and practice of American foreign policy, and perceptions of the United States from abroad.
Presenters: Political science department faculty members Dr. Max Richardson, professor; Dr. Melinda Kovàcs, assistant professor; and Dr. Rebecca Moore, associate professor
