Review # 1 was written on 2018-12-21 00:00:00 Steven Tiger I thought the author put together a well-written analysis of the topic - how and why the Monroe Doctrine was formed the way it was. He approaches the policy through three possible reasons for it being formed as it was - personal convictions, international politics, and/or domestic politics. I won't spoil what the author concluded. Potential readers should know the book is short on the actual substance or impact of the Monroe Doctrine, and long on the domestic and international conditions contemporary with its proclamation. There is virtually no discussion of the effects of the Monroe Doctrine after 1823. This book is also available for free on archive.org.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-12-18 00:00:00 Oscar Reyes Los efectos de la declaración original de Monroe fueron, como mucho, ambiguos, y Ernst May ha argumentado que la doctrina nació tanto por presiones domésticas como por cuestiones internacionales; ver The Making of the Monroe Doctrine (Cambridge, Mass.,: Harvard University Press, 1975). La doctrina sólo se volvió una política exterior efectiva durante las campañas imperialistas de Teodoro Roosevelt, y, particularmente, con el proyecto de construcción del Canal de Panamá.
