- Abstract
"We May Dominate the World: Ambition, Anxiety, and the Rise of the American Colossus" is a book that traces the evolution of the United States from a regional power to a global hegemon. The author, Sean Mirski, argues that the US was compelled to intervene in Latin America to stabilize the region and prevent it from falling into the hands of its rivals. The book explores the use of diplomacy, economics, and military intervention in achieving these goals. Mirski also discusses the concept of a "global Monroe Doctrine" that guides US foreign policy and justifies military interventions worldwide. The book raises questions about the motivations and justifications behind US foreign policy and its impact on global geopolitics.
