Listen now (68 min) | Danny and Derek welcome Christopher McKnight Nichols, Wayne Woodrow Hayes chair in national security studies and professor of history at Ohio State University, to discuss the volume he co-edited, Ideology in U.S. Foreign Relations: New Histories. They define ideology vs. ideas, their effect on US foreign relations since colonial times, and more.
Excellent interview and chat. Looking forward to digging into the volume!
The discussion left me wondering if there's any good work on radical/countervailing ideological formations of US foreign relations. For example, studies of US anti-imperial or anti-war ideologies at different moments--specifically framed as ideologies that rise and fall in relation to discreet material conditions and dominant ideologies. Would be particularly interesting to put 90s and GWoT anti-imperial thinking under this type of microscope.
