Imperialism and Idealism: American Diplomats in China, 1861-1898 by David L. And

Description: Imperialism and Idealism by David L. Anderson policy in China. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Combining biography with foreign-policy analysis, David L. Anderson provides a fresh interpretation of Sino-American relations in the nineteenth century. The book focuses on the eight Americans who occupied the chief U.S. diplomatic post in China from 1861 to 1898 and personally shaped American policy toward China in the forty years before Secretary of State John Hays Open Door Notes. Their policies, as Anderson explains, were as varied as the eight individuals, and yet at the same time were characteristically American—expressing both idealistic altruism and imperialistic self-interest. Ultimately, John Hay merged the altruism and the self-interest in the Open Door Notes of 1899 and 1900, which influenced much of Americas twentieth-century conduct in Asia. Anderson reemphasizes Hays role in bridging the differences that have plagued U.S. policy in China. Author Biography David L.
