Eager to ensure that the country did not repeat past blunders overseas, scholars probed for answers to why America had fought a seemingly pointless war with Spain, committed itself to Utopian goals in World War I, retreated into political isolationism in the twenties, denied obvious international dangers in the thirties, and held unrealizable hopes of international cooperation during the forties. Historians explained these misdeeds in a variety of ways: as resulting from a reverence for the rule of law, an excess of Protestant evangelism, a tradition of free security ignoring the importance of power, an imperial drive to make the world safe for Capitalism and American power, a preoccupation with domestic politics, and the use of external events to promote internal control.","PeriodicalId":85482,"journal":{"name":"SAIS review (Paul H.

Freed from the balance-of-payments (read balance-of-trade) equilibrium constraint, monetary policy could have been directed to the achievement of domestic objectives, most notably the desired degree of internal price stability, independent of that of the rest of the world. Greater autonomy in national monetary policies and less interdependence in inflation (and perhaps output) rates were expected to be the main benefits of more flexible exchange rates. Moving away from fixed exchange rates would not only have reduced the \"common currency standard\" characteristics of the Bretton Woods system and the strong economic interdependence implicit in it, but would also have lessened the policy conflicts arising from the perceived asymmetry in the sharing of adjustment burdens between balance of payments deficit-prone and surplus-prone countries. It would have, in addition, reduced the \"exorbitant privilege\" retained by the reserve issuing country (the United States), whose degree of monetary autonomy was unparalleled within the system. It was also thought that the preservation of the liberal trade system developed in the post-World War II era would be made easier with a more automatic balance-of-trade adjustment mechanism in place.","PeriodicalId":85482,"journal":{"name":"SAIS review (Paul H.

Similarly, the U.S.-Canada free trade agreement, which entered into force on January 1, 1989, was generally applauded by those who believe in removing impediments to world trade. Now that the United States and Mexico have indicated their intention to pursue a free trade agreement, however, and President George Bush has outlined his vision ofeventual free trade throughout the Western Hemisphere, questions are being raised about the durability of the multilateral trading system in the face of growing regionalism. These developments coincide with the climax of the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), slated for completion in February 1991. These are complex negotiations dealing not only with the old agenda of tariffs and some nontariff measures, but also with a new set of priorities: agriculture, trade in services, trade-related aspects of foreign investment, protection of intellectual property, the phaseout of the","PeriodicalId":85482,"journal":{"name":"SAIS review (Paul H.

In his second term President Ronald Reagan will address pressing national security questions and will consider new directions in policy. Now is an appropriate time to assess the lessons of the previous four years and, where necessary, adjust the course for the next four. In our free society national security issues are debated by the people. These debates contrast markedly with Soviet society, where the principal policy objective is to preserve the state's totalitarian power and where the decisions are made by a small ruling elite. Because free discussion is essential in a democracy, I have entered the public debate concerning defense issues. I traveled to England to debate the issue of deterrence at the Oxford Union and have participated in several discussions on U.S. national television. I conferred with the National Conference of Catholic Bishops as they deliberated on their pastoral letter on war and peace, responding later to the major points in that document in a talk at Fordham University. Because there are parallels between many of the bishops' principles and our nation's policy, a review of the bishops' arguments is instructive. Our national policy and the bishops' letter are both based on a \"presumption in favor of peace and against war.\" Together we reject offensive war; together we acknowledge that all nations have \"a right and even a duty to","PeriodicalId":85482,"journal":{"name":"SAIS review (Paul H.
