Reconsidering Woodrow Wilson

Progressivism, Internationalism, War, and Peace

By: Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars

Some of today’s premier experts on Woodrow Wilson contribute to this new collection of essays about the former statesman, portraying him as a complex, even paradoxical president. Reconsidering Woodrow Wilson reveals a person who was at once an international idealist, a structural reformer of the nation’s economy, and a policy maker who was simultaneously accommodating, indifferent, resistant, and hostile to racial and gender reform. Wilson’s progressivism is discussed in chapters by biographer John Milton Cooper and historians Trygve Throntveit and W. Elliot Brownlee. Wilson’s philosophy about race and nation is taken up by Gary Gerstle, and his gender politics discussed by Victoria Bissel Brown. The seeds of Wilsonianism are considered in chapters by Mark T. Gilderhus on Wilson’s Latin American diplomacy and war; Geoffrey R. Stone on Wilson’s suppression of seditious speech; and Lloyd Ambrosius on entry into World War I. Emily S. Rosenberg and Frank Ninkovich explore the impact of Wilson’s internationalism on capitalism and diplomacy; Martin Walker sets out the echoes of Wilson’s themes in the cold war; and Anne-Marie Slaughter suggests how Wilson might view the promotion of liberal democracy today. These essays were originally written for a celebration of Wilson’s 150th birthday sponsored by the official national memorial to Wilson—the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars—in collaboration with the Woodrow Wilson House. That daylong symposium examined some of the most important and controversial areas of Wilson’s political life and presidency.

Smart Green Cities

Toward a Carbon Neutral World

By: Woodrow Clark II,Grant Cooke

Smart Green Cities: is a comprehensive overview of what global cities are doing to become sustainable. Woodrow W. Clark II and Grant Cooke have produced a book that is both practical and visionary. They have examined the infrastructure needs - sustainable development, communications, energy, water, waste, and transportation to develop guidelines, processes and best practices. City leaders are key to mitigating climate change who must plan, design and implement solutions. Smart Green Cities (SGC) offers a global perspective that includes implementing the Green Industrial Revolution the title of their last book. SGC discusses innovative emerging technologies, and the new economics paradigm that move beyond the out-dated neo-classical economics. The authors present examples from around the world including Europe, the U.S, China and the Middle East, which discuss the best green technologies from renewable energy power generation to smart on-site grid development. The extraordinary shift from a rural to an urban world is described; national plans are analyzed; so that future cities will be designed, built and implemented now - not 50 years from now. The struggle for the planet’s survival is being waged by the world’s cities. Clark and Cooke argue that cities are the key to mitigating climate change and reducing toxic greenhouse gas emissions. SGC introduces sustainable technologies; discusses the economics for implementing the solutions; and offers numerous examples to serve as pathways for cities to become smart, green, and thus carbon neutral.

Blind Partners

American and Japanese Responses to an Unknown Future

By: Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars,Sōgō Kenkyū Kaihatsu Kikō (Japan)

The volume, the result of a conference sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the National Institute for Research Advancement, examines religious and intellectual foundations of the American and Japanese cultures, as well as social, political, economic and scientific dimensions of the two nations. The result was the beginning of a dialogue that will have long-term implications for a clearer understanding of how the United States and Japan can better relate to each other and to the problems facing the world. Co-published with the Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholars and simultaneously published in Japanese.

The Rise and Fall of Détente on the Korean Peninsula, 1970-1974

By: Christian F. Ostermann,James F. Person

From a gathering of veteran officials, eyewitnesses, and scholars, brought together with newly declassified documents, here are the transcripts of the second conference held on inter-Korean, U.S.-ROK, and DPRK-Socialist bloc relations during the Cold War. Specifically, they explored the period beginning with the improvement of relations between the two Koreas that led to the historic North-South Joint Communiqué of July 4, 1972 - March 1974 when North Korea abandoned inter-Korean dialogue in order to seek a separate U.S.-DPRK treaty to replace the Korean War armistice. Also studied was the reactions of the two Koreas to the Sino-Dae Jung, the "Korea question" in the United Nations, and a host of other issues affecting inter-Korean, U.S.-Korean, and Sino-DPRK relations during this period.
