anism or liberal internationalism; Cold War
containment; and global meliorism." Ameri-
can statesmen who were tempted, McDou-
gall writes, "to charge into ideological wars"
were Thomas Jefferson, Henry Clay, William
Seward, and U. S. Grant, among others.
David Corbin examines the consequences
of the loss of influence of the compelling,
particular interests of the United States in
an ideology of "global citizenship." Citizens
of an imagined "global city" affirm common
"global premises" that hold real cities in
captivity to unreal ideals. Those who cling
to their particular, national interests are por-
trayed as enemies of global imperatives.
Angelo Codevilla explores how civil
servants entrusted to administer American
foreign policy lost consciousness of their
obligation to represent the United States
and instead shaped a universal, ideologically
driven supranational foreign policy. Young
Americans desiring to prepare for foreign
service careers can overcome that disorder
by engaging in serious study of the principles
of statecraft.

that shaped Julia Ward Howe's Battle Hymn
of the Republic and finds the origins of a
redemptive religion of democracy in the
response of American intellectuals to nation-
alist movements in Europe in the 1840s. Even
before Abraham Lincoln sketched a civil
religion of equality and redemptive national
purpose in the Gettysburg Address, human-
ist intellectuals had shaped a transnational
democratic religion. The American civil
religion, Gamble argues, was international
before it found expression in the abolition of
slavery in America.
James Lucier examines the historical devel-
opment of English common law and sketches
three phases of development of America's
independence from the English Crown. The
system of law, representative government,
and foreign policy that was formed by that
history, Lucier writes, "has always rejected
ideology as the basis of governing." American
foreign policy, when based in an ideology of
international law that transcends the laws of
the United States, places the survival of the
American nation in serious doubt.
