초록
One of the most blatant expressions of unilateral presidential power in the history of U.S. foreign relations came in the assertion of federal jurisdiction over offshore spaces into what had been state lands or ungoverned international space. In September 1945, President Harry S. Truman claimed jurisdiction and control over the subsoil resources of the continental shelf. This article examines the effort to secure American interests in the submerged lands of the offshore continental shelf after 1945 as part of an unilateralist approach at the heart of American empire. The article argues that unilateralism was a core continuity in United States foreign policy and the pursuit of U.S. power in the global system. The U.S. has over time created sustainable global hegemony through often unilateral assertion of territorial and extraterritorial dominance as a means of governance. This article highlights the arc of presidential unilateralist action as a way of emphasizing continuities over time and puncturing false pieties.
Abstract
One of the most blatant expressions of unilateral presidential power in the history of U.S. foreign relations came in the assertion of federal jurisdiction over offshore spaces into what had been state lands or ungoverned international space. In September 1945, President Harry S. Truman claimed jurisdiction and control over the subsoil resources of the continental shelf. This article examines the effort to secure American interests in the submerged lands of the offshore continental shelf after 1945 as part of an unilateralist approach at the heart of American empire. The article argues that unilateralism was a core continuity in United States foreign policy and the pursuit of U.S. power in the global system. The U.S. has over time created sustainable global hegemony through often unilateral assertion of territorial and extraterritorial dominance as a means of governance. This article highlights the arc of presidential unilateralist action as a way of emphasizing continuities over time and puncturing false pieties.
