The American Union and the Problem of Neighborhood The United States and the Collapse of the Spanish Empire, 1783-1829【電子書籍】[ James E. Lewis Jr. ]
＜p＞In this book, James Lewis demonstrates the centrality of American＜br /＞ ideas about and concern for the union of the states in the＜br /＞ policymaking of the early republic. For four decades after the＜br /＞ nation’s founding in the 1780s, he says, this focus on securing a＜br /＞ union operated to blur the line between foreign policies and＜br /＞ domestic concerns. Such leading policymakers as Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, and Henry Clay worried about the challenges to the goals of the Revolution that would arise from a hostile neighborhood ー whether composed of new nations outside the union or the existing states following a division of the union.＜br /＞ At the center of Lewis’s story is the American response to＜br /＞ the dissolution of Spain’s empire in the New World, from the＜br /＞ transfer of Louisiana to France in 1800 to the independence of＜br /＞ Spain’s mainland colonies in the 1820s. The breakup of the＜br /＞ Spanish empire, he argues, presented a series of crises for the＜br /＞ unionist logic of American policymakers, leading them, finally,＜br /＞ to abandon a crucial element of the distinctly American approach＜br /＞ to international relations embodied in their own federal union.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。4,227円 0.0(0) 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア / Rakuten
