Thesis (Ph.D.)--Princeton University, 2001.

This dissertation considers the enduring question of how great powers decide what fundamental objectives to pursue in the international system. At the heart of the matter lies the concept of grand strategy, which is defined as the broad patterns and principles of a state's foreign policy. Grand strategy encompasses some of the most critical distinctions in state behavior: isolationism versus expansionism, imperialism versus interventionism, and the promotion of international law versus realpolitik. To understand why executive decisionmakers choose one approach over another, we must investigate what each strategy is designed to accomplish.

520 $a This dissertation considers the enduring question of how great powers decide what fundamental objectives to pursue in the international system. At the heart of the matter lies the concept of grand strategy, which is defined as the broad patterns and principles of a state's foreign policy. Grand strategy encompasses some of the most critical distinctions in state behavior: isolationism versus expansionism, imperialism versus interventionism, and the promotion of international law versus realpolitik. To understand why executive decisionmakers choose one approach over another, we must investigate what each strategy is designed to accomplish.
520 $a Contrary to the conventional wisdom of realist theory, I argue that grand strategies rarely serve the unitary, "national interest" of all actors within the state. Instead, every strategy benefits some domestic groups at the expense of others. For example, the promotion of international law promises to increase cooperation among the great powers, so it appeals to groups that export to great-power markets; yet, international law also constrains a state's ability to make unilateral military interventions, so it is unpopular among groups that invest in unstable states in the periphery. When societal actors select party leaders, they tend to favor individuals whose sincere outlook on international politics matches their own parochial economic concerns. Once elected to the executive office, such leaders will naturally pursue strategic objectives that reflect their partisan coalition's aggregated interests.
520 $a I test this theory on two cases: the United States and Great Britain, both between approximately 1865 and 1929. I find that, although neither country's foreign policy was perfectly determined by political-economic variables, the theory accurately predicts the broad strategic principles followed by nearly every American president and British government. Using a parsimonious set of deductive hypotheses, it explains such disparate phenomena as the United States' isolationism in the 1860s and 1870s; Great Britain's aggressive imperialism in the 1880s and 1890s; British and American attempts to create legalistic mechanisms of dispute resolution throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; and the United States' rejection of the League of Nations in the 1920s.
