Holding his doctorate from the University of Idaho his dissertation concerned Woodrow Wilson’s intervention in Mexican affairs from 1913-1916.
Subsequent studies convinced him that the period from 1898-1920 saw not only America’s emergence as a great power and holder of empire, but that it also set the stamp on American diplomacy that provides the rationalization for our actions today. At the heart of Wilson’s New Diplomacy was a belief in American exceptionalism, American institutions and above all American values. From Wilson’s time to that of George W. Bush this has become the American rationale for our endless interventions. That they are often misplaced or undercut by less noble concerns does not make them less powerful.
Professor Glaser has now retired and spends half the year with friends in upstate New York. The rest of his time he resides with his family in Florence, Italy.voir moins
