• Reluctant Liberator: Theodore Roosevelt's Philosophy of Self-Government and Preparation for Philippine Independence

Theodore Roosevelt is well known as an imperialist. The common understanding is both too weak and too strong. Too weak, because Roosevelt idealized an imperialism that could last forever in civilizing savages. Too strong, because Roosevelt prepared the American-occupied Philippines for independence within a generation. This article analyzes Roosevelt's philosophy of self-government and reinterprets his Philippines policy in light of the philosophy. Roosevelt emerges as a reluctant anti-imperialist-an imperialist by desire but an anti-imperialist in governance. His imperialist ambitions were thwarted by America's ideals of self-government and its democratic political system, channeled through the powers of Congress and the process of regular elections.

• The New American Imperialism: Bush's War On Terror and Blood for Oil

Asserting that the US will continue to provide global leadership, given its reserve of "soft power," Joseph Nye (1990) launched a neoliberal institutional rejoinder against the stractural realist postulate of decline in response to Paul Kennedy's well-known 1987 great powers thesis. With the opening of oil resources from landlocked Caspian Sea Basin (accounting for about 10 percent of the world's oil reserves), Fouskas and Gökay see the opening in 2001 of the first front of the war on tenor against the Taliban regime as a geopolitical move to secure oil transit routes through Afghanistan to the Indian Ocean.
