“Writing at the dawn of the twentieth century, Mark Twain provided ominous commentary about a hypothetical ‘Great Republic’ that had adopted a foreign policy of actively intervening in distant societies. What if Twain’s scenario were not hypothetical, but rather real? What if foreign interventions abroad have the long-term effect of undermining liberties and freedoms at home? This paper explores how interventions abroad can affect domestic government activities in a way that reduces its citizens’ freedoms and liberties. Although our analysis is generalizable, we focus on a specific ‘Great Republic’—the United States—because of its global dominance in economic and military affairs.”
