On the one hand, historians have praised the maturing of the Republic, which was now able to take its plance among the arbitesrs of the world's destinies. One the other hand, many writers have tried to define America's new fole indistinctive terms. They argue that the United Stateds did not enter the great power game as just another player but introduced a new style of diplomatic play and perhaps even a new set of rules. Judgments clash about these innovations. An older school of thought stresses the idealism that A merica brought to the world arena. More recently,“New left” revisionists have charged that America's contribution o international life was the self serving notion of“informal empire,” typified by a worldwide Open Door doctrine. This strategy avoided formal territiorial possession but sought economic dominance of foreign raw materials, markets, and investments. Historians disagree futher about the motivating impulses of American diplomacy. Recent “revisionists” have tended almost exclusively to emphasize domestic economic factors in explaining American foreign policy. the United States sought foreign markets, the argument goes, to solve the problems of domestic overproduction and constant business depressions. Other scholars respond that international politics can only be properly understood in an international context. They argue that Theodore roosevelt, for example, acted not for narrow domestic reasons but because he realistically perceived that if the United States did not hold its own against the other powers, it would soon risk being eclipsed on the world stage, and even being pushed around in its own hemisphere, despite the Monroe Doctrine. 51.
