SUMMARY:Ideas Matter: History & the Shaping of U.S. Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:Since its inception\, the United States has been a self-consciously ideological project.

These presentations culminate in a multiday conference at Oregon State University on Ideologies and U.S. Foreign Policy\, bringing the scholars’ cutting-edge insights to the public and exploring some of the most important ideas that have shaped the past\, present\, and future of U.S. foreign relations. \nRead more here.
