Description:
Peceny (international relations, U. of New Mexico) records US efforts to impose democratic governments by military force using both a broad quantitative analysis of 20th-century US military interventions, and in-depth studies of individual cases based on secondary sources and documentary evidence, among them the Spanish-American War, Vietnam, El Salvador, Haiti, and Bosnia. He concludes that the behavior can only be explained by combining the do-gooder liberal and self-serving conservative theories. The study began as a doctoral dissertation for Stanford University at an unspecified date.
