 In this treatise, Lawson elucidates the critical relationship between British and American policies in the context of European intervention in Latin America during the early 19th century. He argues that while the United States was motivated by political concerns, primarily articulated through the Monroe Doctrine, Britain's opposition to intervention was largely driven by economic interests. The success of the Monroe Doctrine was significantly contingent upon Britain's firm stance against European encroachments, highlighting a unique collaboration between the two nations despite their differing motivations. Ultimately, Lawson's work contributes to a deeper understanding of Anglo-American relations and the geopolitical dynamics of the era, illustrating how intertwined economic and political factors shaped foreign policy decisions.
