Navigating the New Frontier: Woodrow Wilson, Frederick Jackson Turner, and World Politics Open Access
Lyons, devon tyler (2012).
This thesis attempts to understand the underlying foundation of Wilson's desire to engage the United States in world affairs on the political and economic level. The historiography of Wilsonian thought has generally centered on his political thought and has categorized him as an idealist. This thesis explores the possibility that Frederick Jackson Turner's Frontier Thesis provided an intellectual foundation for Wilson's goal of involving the United States in a greater international role. Not only did Turner's work provide a causal reason to engage in world affairs, but it also led Wilson to act in a realistic, as opposed to idealistic, fashion when dealing with other nations. Wilson was simply not the democratic idealist he has often been characterized as. This thesis takes a broad view chronologically of Wilson, but it mainly focuses on Wilson's relationship with Turner and his interactions with South America and Europe; the two greatest recipients of Wilson's time and energy. The historiography on this issue has been largely neglected by historians of Woodrow Wilson. Consequently, an examination of Wilson's acceptance of the importance of the frontier in American development and Wilson's foreign policy actions is overdue.

The frontier is a multifaceted, emotionally charged, and contested term in American socio-political discourse. It refers, first of all, to a line : it was the line which divided, throughout the period of westward expansion, the conquered parts of the country from those still free of white population. Over the 18th and 19th centuries, the frontier represented the outermost line of settlement, separating white civilization from the wilderness.
