Modernizing The Monroe Doctrine (1916)

Modernizing The Monroe Doctrine is a book written by Charles Hitchcock Sherrill in 1916. The book is an analysis of the Monroe Doctrine, which was a policy introduced by President James Monroe in 1823 to prevent European powers from interfering in the affairs of the newly independent Latin American states. Sherrill argues that the Monroe Doctrine needs to be updated to reflect the changing political and economic landscape of the world.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a historical overview of the Monroe Doctrine and its evolution over time. Sherrill examines the various interpretations of the doctrine and its impact on U.S. foreign policy. He also discusses the challenges faced by the doctrine in the 20th century, such as the rise of new world powers and the emergence of new threats to U.S. interests.The second part of the book proposes a modernized version of the Monroe Doctrine that takes into account these new challenges. Sherrill argues that the U.S. should take a more active role in promoting democracy and economic development in Latin America, and that it should work to build stronger alliances with countries in the region. He also suggests that the U.S. should be more assertive in defending its interests in the Western Hemisphere, particularly in the face of growing competition from China and other global powers.Overall, Modernizing The Monroe Doctrine is a thought-provoking analysis of one of the most important policies in U.S. foreign policy history. Sherrill's ideas and proposals continue to resonate today, as the U.S. grapples with new challenges in the Western Hemisphere and beyond.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
