No matter how things turn out in the world, the United States of America remains one of the key players on the world stage. Their actions, whether some people like it or not, evoke a lively response from other countries of the world. Some want to adopt the U.S. model, some want to do the opposite, some want to simply take their experience into account. What is the "American model", since it has aroused such interest for centuries? What factors of domestic and foreign policy led to the fact that America was formed exactly as it is?
Ivan Kurilla, a well-known American historian, discusses how the key elements of the American model - democracy, exceptionalism, messianism and many others - were formed, how isolationism was replaced by expansionism, and how idealism and rationalism are combined. The author sees one of the main factors in the formation of the American model as the eternal search for and opposition to the Other - British colonizers, Indians, supporters of the preservation of slavery, the policies of Tsarist Russia and the USSR, and in recent years, the rise of China and Russia's return to the international arena.
