Rethinking the Monroe Doctrine for a connected world
This concise volume argues that the United States must move beyond a by‑word policy of force toward a shared, international approach to security and peace.
The book traces how the Monroe Doctrine grew from a national safeguard into a global question. It frames two enduring principles—territorial integrity and the preservation of representative government—as the core limits and duties of American policy, then weighs how a truly international response could work through mechanisms like The Hague and international law.
- Understand how the original doctrine evolved in response to changing world politics
- Explore why expert voices call for moving from unilateral enforcement to international cooperation
- See how international arbitration and peace‑building tools can shape policy in the Americas
- Learn about the potential paths between strict nationalism and full internationalism
Ideal for readers of history, international law, and policy essays who want a clear view of the Monroe Doctrine’s relevance today.
