The authors explicitly challenge and reject the perennial debates about isolationism versus internationalism, instead asserting that American foreign relations have been characterized by the permanent tension inherent in America's desire to engage with the world and its equally powerful determination to avoid "e;entanglement"e; in the world's troubles. This work is ideally suited as a resource for students of politics, international affairs, and history, and it will provide compelling insights for informed general readers. 606 $aPolitical culture$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory. 676 $a327.73 700 $aBurns$b Richard Dean$0484962 701 $aFlanagan$b Jason C$01796612 701 $aSiracusa$b Joseph M$0191502 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967179603321 996 $aAmerican foreign relations since independence$94338439 997 $aUNINA
