Foundations of the American Century: The Ford, Carnegie, and Rockefeller Foundations in the Rise of American Power
This book comprises over a decade's archival research in the USA across public and private agencies including the 'big 3' foundations, numerous funded organisations, the Departments of State, Treasury and Commerce and the White House, frequently involving documents that were poorly organised. In addition to the depth of archival research, the book spans occurrences and processes across the globe over almost a century. The processes of political socialisation and development charted encompass both the roles of individuals and transnational forces. The work applies a range of political-scientific and international relations theories to help comprehend the processes of American power.
