• Sommario/riassunto: In 'Wilsonian Visions', James McAllister recovers the history of the most influential forum of American liberal internationalism in the immediate aftermath of World War I: The Williamstown Institute of Politics. Established in 1921 by Harry A. Garfield, the Institute was dedicated to promoting an informed perspective on world politics, even as the United States retreated from the Wilsonian vision of active involvement in European political affairs. McAllister narrates the career of the Institute, tracing its roots back to the tragedy of the First World War and Garfield's disappointment in America's failure to join the League of Nations.
