The Price of Imperial Thinking
The Price of Imperial Thinking
J. William Fulbright as Critic of US Empire
This chapter examines J. W. Fulbright’s reputation as a critic of the US empire through a close analysis of his major publications on US foreign policy. It argues that he attempted to reform the tactics of American empire rather than undermine the larger strategy of US dominance. Ultimately, it concludes that his ability to diagnose the causes of US imperialism were limited by his own devotion to the ideology of liberal internationalism that undergirded US foreign policy for most of the twentieth century.
