- W1557977845 abstract "This thesis argues that American exceptionalism is a necessary, but insufficient,way of reading U.S. foreign policy. Exceptionalism is employed by differentideologists in different ways and in differing contexts. This thesis employs thecontextualist methodology of Quentin Skinner to challenge proleptic, staticunderstandings of American exceptionalism and, in doing so, uncovers Americangrand strategy as a keenly contested ideological battleground. In each constituentcase study, the thesis identifies the ideological innovators of American strategicpolicy and the key moments of ideological innovation, and examines whyideological innovations became conventional, or not.The analysis proceeds with an introduction to the composition of grand strategy,continues with an examination of Quentin Skinner’s version of Cambridge Schoolcontextual analysis, and then places Skinnerian contextualism within the broaderframework of International Relations theory. This analysis illustrates themethodological advantage of Skinnerian contextualism, which allows thereconstruction of the context in which past generations of ideological innovatorsoperated and conceived of the world and the place of the United States within it.This specific type of analysis demonstrates ideological innovation in practice atfour pivotal moments in American foreign policy: first, the emergence ofcontainment as the cornerstone of the Truman Doctrine at the outset of the ColdWar; second, detente and the supposed injection of realism into American foreignpolicy; third, President Clinton’s strategy of enlargement and the place ofAmerican exceptionalism in the aftermath of the Cold War; and, fourth, the BushDoctrine and the interaction between American exceptionalism andneoconservatism.The thesis concludes by stressing the particularities of historical context, havingdemonstrated that, although exceptionalism has rarely been the only causaldynamic of American grand strategy, it has consistently provided the context withwhich innovating ideologists have been required to engage in order to create theirown version of grand strategy." @default.
