  • Isolationism revisited: seven persistent myths in the contemporary American foreign policy debate
    Review of International Studies, 2005
    Co-Authors: David J. Dunn
    Abstract:

    Isolationism’ is a much used and abused term in the contemporary American foreign policy debate. This article seeks to illuminate some of the misunderstandings that surround the use of this term by challenging seven persistent myths about Isolationism. In so doing it sheds light on the often unarticulated role that this and other ideas play in the US foreign policy debate. It also seeks to demonstrate the nature of the main ideational cleavages within this debate which the isolationist name-calling obscures, and to show the way in which language is used in the political discourse and how its meaning in this debate changes over time.

  • American Psychological Isolationism
    Review of General Psychology, 2012
    Co-Authors: Eric Luis Uhlmann
    Abstract:

    The United States possesses a distinctive cultural mindset characterized by a lack of regard for and even lack of awareness of the perspectives of other countries, coupled with a passionate desire to spread American values throughout the world. We term this mindset American psychological Isolationism. Like American moral values more generally, this psychological outlook has its roots in America's unique religious and cultural history. The American Puritans' religious zeal contributes to America's ideological self-certainty and lack of regard for the values of others. At the same time, America's sense of divine mission in spreading its values, whether other countries like it or not, is traceable to the Puritans' view of themselves as a "shining city on a hill" destined to save all the world.

  • Scientific Minimalism and the Division of Moral Labor in Regulating Dual-Use Research
    Stance: an international undergraduate philosophy journal, 2019
    Co-Authors: Steven Dykstra
    Abstract:

    : In this paper I examine the merits of a “division ofmoral labor” regulatory system for dual-use research. I borrow anargument from Thomas Douglas against scientific Isolationism toshow that researchers must be morally responsible for resolvingat least some dual-use problems. I then argue that there are keybenefits of scientific Isolationism that are preserved in a positionI call scientific minimalism. I then demonstrate that scientificminimalism, in a division of moral labor system, succeeds inmaximizing both scientific freedom and moral efficiency, which Ihold to be an essential aim for any proposed alternative regulatorymodel.
