Author’s Commentary

Since the end of the Cold War, American foreign and security policy has been adrift. Without the yardstick of the Soviet threat, strategy has been made in a kind of vacuum. Neither the attacks of September 11, 2001, nor the rise of China, nor Russian revanche in Europe have created a coherent overarching sense of U.S. geopolitical purpose. Having made the world of the 20th century, what should America do now?
 
To imagine our future, argues Giselle Donnelly, we must plumb our past. Before 1776, before 1619, English men and women crossed the Atlantic not to isolate themselves from the Old World but to empower themselves to defend their faith, their countrymen and their political liberty while creating new wealth.  They inhabited a world of empires and understood that to survive in it — and to hold together the diverse peoples of “Britain” — they must play the global game.
 
In Empire Imagined, Donnelly reveals the strategic unconscious of the American mind, one shaped by this a global view, by ideological motivation and expansionist ambition, the fear of strategic fragility and a belief that liberty would produce security.  These traits still mark the American understanding of international politics and the balance of power.  To imagine the future of the American experiment, we must recall its original design and purpose.
