It was in this sense of supporting free government while acknowledging the role of interests and factions that led me to call Pundita a “ Hamiltonian” – which probably complements rather than contradicts a “ neo-Jacksonian” stance in foreign policy as described by Mead.

Addendum: An apology is in order for my having referred to Walter McDougall, author of Promised Land, Crusader State, as ” Robert” McDougall in my email to Pundita. My apologies to Dr. McDougall and to Pundita.

    I thought so too but the Mead definition offered up independently by Dave around the same time muddied the waters a bit
