	Kagan speaks at inaugural symposium
		In the spirit of civilized academic discourse, panelists at Cornell President David J. Skorton's inaugural academic symposium argued the causes and contradictions of current American foreign policy, differing on the motives behind and consequences of the U.S. military invasion of Iraq.
		She pointed to the Bush administration's "disturbing contempt" and repudiation of global law, and its desire to "slough off limits" imposed by international law, not unlike Stalin or Hitler, she said.
		America's apparent troubles abroad, Katzenstein said, are not just "one more episode" in liberal expansion, but rather the result of a radical, neoconservative doctrine.

		A simple territorial dispute, such as a border dispute, is not usually referred to as expansionism.

	RatcliffeBlog—Mitch's Open Notebook: The "American DNA" and expansionism
		Our expansionism has been a series of punctuated equilibria since we ran out of "frontier." It is a good read.
		Liberalism fueled the prodigious territorial and commercial expansion in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that made the United States, first, the dominant power in North America and, then, a world power.
		It did so by elevating the rights of the individual over the state--by declaring that all people had a right to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness and by insisting it was the government's primary job to safeguard those rights.

	EXPANSIONISM: ETHIOPIA'S CHRONIC ILLNESS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The war now looming between Ethiopia and Eritrea is a direct manifestation of Ethiopia's appetite for expansion and annexation of territories to which it has no legal right for its claims.
		Ethiopia's chronic illness of expansion can in some way be explained by centuries old belief that Ethiopian Empire extended from the Mediterranean Sea to Madagascar, a myth that made its way to the Ethiopian school curricula and as such into the psyche of every Ethiopian ruler that came to power.
		Its ambition for territorial expansion into areas clearly demarcated borders will certainly be curtailed, and its hold of territories that are not clearly so may be lost to their rightful owners if it ever agrees to abide by international treaties and resolutions that recognize boundaries on the ground.

	ICG Spaces - community weblog - Ackoff on Reductionism and Expansionism, Part II
		Using his theme of 'take it apart' or 'God as root cause,' Ackoff defines Reductionism as the process of taking a system apart, analyzing the parts, and trying to understand cause and effect among the parts.
		Reductionism tells us how a system is assembled and something about how it works, but it is Expansionism that tells us what a system is likely to do and how it interacts with its components and its environment.
		Both are required to understand a system, but the great majority shift their problem solving skills, at their peril, towards Reductionism at the expense of Expansionism.

		Though mentioned in passing here, the issue of NATO expansion and its overlap with the EU is crucial to understanding the geopolitics of EU enlargement, but it will not form part of this discussion.
		Imperial expansion can feature concurrent or disjointed combinations of (1) unequal exchange, (2) coloniality through either settler or missionary colonialism, and (3) export of governmentality or administrative colonialism, all within an overall geopolitical strategy that may include warfare.
		The pattern is historically continuous with the expansionism of Western European powers since at least the 18th century, through which the entire world is presented as a nested hierarchy featuring (North)western European cultures at the apex and centre of that world, corresponding to actual asymmetrical relations of power between cores and peripheries at multiple scales.
