The doctrine of “regime change” in American foreign policy tradition and ideology
https://doi.org/10.48137/2074-2975_2023_1_17
Abstract
This article analyzes the historical and ideological aspects of the American concept of «regime change». Its correlation with the U.S. course on the preparation of «colored revolutions» and «promotion of democracy», as well as its main ideological components are considered: «American exceptionalism» and messianism, foreign policy globalism, black and white vision of the world and double standards. The religious roots of the doctrine of «regime change» are traced, allowing to interpret it as a secular form of American post-Protestant proselytism.
