Synopsis
Excerpt from The Western Hemisphere Idea: Its Rise and Decline
While the reader is referred to the first essay for a definition of the Western Hemisphere idea, here at the outset he should be urged to keep constantly in mind a distinction which is vital to an understanding of all that follows. This is the dis tinction between the politico-geographical idea in question and the shifting and imperfect forms in which it has' been given political expression, such as the Monroe Doctrine, the Drago Doctrine, the Panama Congress, and Pan Americanism.
