Wilsonianism?

[jmcoreymv]

Does anyone know what wilsonianism is? Its supposed to be a foreign policy goal but I cant quite figure out what it is. I tried google and dictionary.com already.

wilsonianism is a foreign system based on rule of law rather than rule by the strongest. his attempt at creating a world organization to affect this change, the league of nations, was eventually a failure. the UN was a much closer approximation

Its funny, but i never learned wilsonianism. In my poly sci class we went over Jacksonian and Jeffersonian. Im really not kidding either, which is strange.

Certainly a part of it.

Main Description:

In Wilsonianism, American foreign relations specialist Lloyd E. Ambrosius has compiled his published and unpublished essays on Woodrow Wilson?s liberal ideology and statecraft during and after World War One. Although the president failed in his pursuit of a new world order, his legacy of Wilsonianism -- the principles of national self-determination, economic globalization, collective security, and progressive historicism -- continued to shape U.S. foreign relations throughout the American Century. Ambrosius examines the American roots of Wilson?s liberal internationalism, the dilemmas and contradictions in his principles, and the problematic consequences of U.S. efforts to implement Wilsonian ideals without fully appreciating the world?s cultural pluralism as well as its economic and political interdependence.
