Frankfurt am Main► To the event report
This year marks the bicentenary of James Monroe’s pronouncement of the famous speech, which has been invoked to outline U.S. expansionist designs, spheres of influence and the principle of non-intervention. This international conference will explore the development, tensions and contradictions of the doctrine overtime across three main themes: 1) the historical background of the Monroe Doctrine in a transnational perspective; 2) the rearrangement and new interpretation of the Doctrine in the 1940s, and 3) the contemporary legacies of the Monroe Doctrine. Speakers, whose expertise ranges from history to political theory to law, will discuss these topics across six panels and three keynote speeches.
