Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: A lingering puzzle in the studies of post-World War II American foreign policy is that the United States emphasized economic rehabilitation as a way of containing adversaries in Europe, whereas in Third World countries it relied primarily on heavy-handed military intervention. This article offers a theoretical analysis of why the United States’ Cold War policy diverged in Western Europe and the underdeveloped world and why the former tended to be peaceful while the latter often involved violence. Building on world system theory but expanding it further, I argue that politico-economic attributes of the region in question generally shape the hegemonic power’s foreign policy there. A major proponent of system-wide stability and prosperity, the hegemon assumes the role of tearing down obstacles to the extension of the market economy and its “political underpinning,” liberal democracy. However, an array of problems that bedevils the hegemonic state is not usually identical across the board, because distinctive political development ensues in the core, semi-periphery, and periphery of the capitalist world system. Relatively long-established capitalism bequeaths the core a solid market economy and the rein of the bourgeois middle class. Politics overall stable here, the hegemonic power confronts little systemic threat and dispenses with heavy-handed interventionism. On the other hand, the periphery, incorporated into the capitalist system only recently through colonization, lacks the foundation of the free market. Inability of the middle class to assert itself often engenders political instability in the periphery. As fledgling capitalist democracy is beleaguered by anti-market, socialist forces, the hegemonic state employs military means to cope with system-wide challenges.
