Sumario:Doctrines the U.S. has used for the conduct of foreign and security policy from the 19th century to present day are examined from an international lawyer's perspective. To what degree are the criteria for the use of force laid down in these doctrines consistent with the limitations of the use of force in international law? Which law-creating effects do these doctrines have? Answers to these questions are addressed, as well as: what effects these doctrines had, and continue to have on the development of international law; what influence a hegemonic power can exercise on the development of international law; and whether a hegemonic international law or imperial international law is currently emerging.
