These events discussed serve as important unifying case study examples of American foreign policy thinking and political and military action more generally. The cases include the Mexican-American War; the Spanish- American War; and the Second World War respectively. Then, current case study examples are discussed to judge the implications of a returning isolationist strain in American political life. After careful consideration of academic literature and analysis of resources spanning written public speeches from leading policymakers, intellectuals, business leaders, and civic minds of their times, as well as raw numerical data research, a combination of foundational principles surrounding offensive...

Stavba a bourání "mostu mezi Východem a Západem". Československo mezi velmocemi v roce 1944
Smetana, Vít
This study demonstrates that the year 1944 was exceptional in the context of the overall development of Czechoslovak foreign policy. It was in this year, and only then, that the exile leadership proclaimed its ambition to play the role of a “bridge between East and West.” However, by the end of the year, the U.S.S.R., soon followed by the Communist leaders in Moscow, expressed its negative attitude to this idea. What followed was a flabby submission and a growing foreign policy orientation towards the East.
