AB - This study delves into Reinhold Niebuhr’s political thoughts on international politics based on Reinhold Niebuhr on Politics. In particular, this study concentrates on the imperial implication on Niebuhr’s idea on international politics.
Barak Obama used a political rhetoric such as “the American Spirit” as he ignites the pride of American nationality, and he spoke one of the most influential political thinkers was Reinhold Niebuhr. After 9/11, not a few scholars have been criticizing America as a new Empire ruling over the world. With this idea, this research studies the Niebuhrian international politics as his political thoughts are related to the American Imperialism in that it emphasizes the imperial foundations such as American responsibility, American destiny, Christians as the chosen people, and the advocator for the freedom and democracy. And he justifies the usage of power for the world peace as other empires had done. Lastly, the unique formation of this research is that it tires to organizes a political speech as if Obama speaks his political ideas toward people in order to exemplifies “the American Spirit” as a political rhetoric for American Imperialism.
