Should American Foreign Policy be Moralistic?
Abstract
"Should American Foreign Policy be Moralistic?" is an inquiry into one of the many controversies surrounding United States foreign policy. Mr. Keeney traces the development of moralistic undercurrents in our foreign policy up to the end of the Second World War. He then discusses the particular effects moralism had on the definition of America's national objectives during the critical early years of the Cold War. The effects these moralistic objectives had on our foreign policy actions during the Cold War are also examined.
A discussion of the "realist" and "moralist" philosophies follows. In his conclusion, Mr. Keeney presents his own formula for the future incorporation of moralism in America's foreign policy
