Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The title of this panel–“Is Liberty Learned?”–is a question, not an affirmation. It is a question posed with some frequency in contemporary American foreign policy, given President Bush’s determination to spread democracy in troubled regions of the world that at present lack it, both to improve the lives of people who have lived under oppression and to safeguard the security of the United States, by giving those fellow human beings a degree of hope of improving their lives through peaceful means and thereby making them less easy prey for the blandishments of terrorists. In this sense, the question, which might also be phrased “Can Liberty Be Taught?”, refers to the debate over the capacity of the United States or any other democratic country to transfer the mores and institutions of democracy to societies that have not experienced them. Can a country learn the practices of democracy and liberty through the precepts, and even the active intervention, of another country, or must each people find its way to this form of government on its own–profiting, perhaps, from the examples of others, but necessarily feeling its own way, making its own mistakes, and arriving at its own solutions to the perennial problem of maintaining an orderly and just society? This paper will have a somewhat different focus. It will briefly examine the question of the “teachability” of liberty in one’s own country (in this case, the United States). In what it does in its foreign policy, in other words, can the government of the United States educate American citizens in the practice of liberty? The answer to this query is not self-evident, since for most of human history the practitioners of foreign policy would have demurred to it, impatiently recalling to the questioner that the purpose of foreign policy is to safeguard and advance the interests of one’s state in the international arena, not to engage in any exercise of domestic pedagogy. Still, some observers have insisted that the two tasks can be combined, and indeed that the foreign responsibility cannot be adequately fulfilled without some attention to the domestic one.
