POLITICAL TRADITIONS IN FOREIGN POLICY SERIES Kenneth W. Thompson, Editor
The values, traditions, and assumptions undergirding approaches to foreign policy are often crucial in determining the course of a nation's history. Yet, the interconnections between ideas and policy for landmark periods in our foreign relations remain largely unexamined. The intent of this series is to encourage a marriage between political theory and foreign policy. A secondary objective is to identify theorists with a continuing interest in political thought and international relations, both younger scholars and the small group of established thinkers. Only occasionally have scholarly centers and university presses sought to nurture studies in this area. In the 1950s and 1960s the University of Chicago Center for the Study of American Foreign Policy gave emphasis to such inquiries. Since then the subject has not been the focus of any major intellectual center. The Louisiana State University Press and the series editor, from a base at the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia, have organized this series to meet a need that has remained largely unfulfilled since the mid-1960s.

PREFACE
National Interest (along with the related terms national interests and public interest) readily finds a place in the discourse of contemporary politics. Indeed, it is so pervasive that one can hardly avoid coming across it in news articles and commentary on a host of subjects, most of which have little in common other than the appearance of this phrase. Several examples will illustrate the point:
Speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies on May 4, 1989, Secretary of State James Baker warned, "Judgments and words ultimately have to be turned into action if we are going to serve the public interest."1 This usage implied that serving the public interest was a responsibility of political leaders, and perhaps all participants in politics, though it did not indicate why this should be so.
