An Ideological Flaw,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Wilsonian Century: U.S. Foreign Policy since 1900 (Paperback)
A well written and well constructed book, but also a deeply flawed one. Ninkovich offers a clear presentation of Wilson's view of international relations and correctly points out how the system imagined by the American President could work only if the United States could exercise its hegemony in the institutions of internationalism, a belief shared by FDR. With the latter's death in 1945, United States' reliance on international institutions dropped sharply and with that wilsonianism became impossible. Ninkovich's assumption that the "americanization" of wilsonianism was the bulk of american policies of containment during the Cold War is a completely ideological one and that is the great flaw of his work.
