As it was already stated that domestic policies are sufficient for foreign policies, it is also to be proven true that foreign policies are adequate for the initiation, formulation, and implementation of domestic policies. This study will, therefore, be grounded on Andrew Moravcsik’s Liberal Theory of International Politics and Robert Putnam’s Logic of Two-Level Games. It has always been a struggle to formulate a theory on international relations that would deviate from an ideology. Moravcsik (1997) suggests, in his study on Taking Preferences Seriously: A Liberal Theory on International Politics, that it is of great necessity to…

At this point, Britain understood the need to welcome the insuppressible American naval expansion as a way to lessen her own international responsibilities. For example, honoring the mandates of the Monroe doctrine meant that the United States would have to share in the responsibility for the actions and conditions of Latin American territories. US naval supremacy in the West was ultimately cemented in the early 20th Century through the building of a US-controlled Isthmian canal in Central…
