This seems like an awfully informal title for an encyl. -- shouldn't it be called United States foreign policy? Hayford Peirce 23:32, 24 May 2008 (CDT)
- Is it informal?? it is accepted by the style guides (Chicago Manual of Style 15th ed p 568) and used by leading publishers in their book titles, such as Oxford University Press ( Encyclopedia of U.S. Foreign Relations (1997)) See For 300 examples of book titles by university presses on "U.S. Foreign Policy" By contrast there are only 25 books that use "United States Foreign Policy" in the title, and they all seem to be much older (none appeared in recent years).Richard Jensen 23:46, 24 May 2008 (CDT)
- Geez, I am astonished! On the other hand, I left the friendly groves of Academe back in 1964. But I wonder what Crane Brinton or Sam Morison would think about this turn of events: the latter certainly didn't call his opus "The Oxford History of the U.S." Oh, well, back to the drawing board....
