Descrição: By showing that actors other than presidents are important in shaping policy and that their ideas were not unusual (at least among elites) at the time, the author makes more persuasive his main argument that the pursuit of empire is embedded in American national identity. Colonization (the form emphasized by Lodge), commercial expansion (by Seward),. and the addition of territory to the core of a state without intending permanently to exclude residents from citizenship have important conceptual differences; security concerns in the twentieth century are also folded a little too easily into the rubric of empire.
