This article examines paradoxical and counterintuitive linkages between the rise of American power, increasingly influential philanthropic foundations, and war, providing concrete evidence of how power works. In particular, the article shows the close interrelations and complementarity between soft and hard power, between elite private foundations and the American state. Considering philanthropic foundations and war together shows the complex means and forms American power took in its rise to globalism, and indeed does today, in an era of humanitarian interventionism and the democratic peace. It is somewhat paradoxical that philanthropic foundations, uniformly committed to peace and peaceful means, not to mention the prosperity that they argue peace promotes, should also be strongly and consistently supportive in practice of military interventions and outright warfare to promote their objects. The major American foundations are committed to a strategy of waging war for democracy as the basis of global peace. The two interrelated case studies presented in this article furnish historical evidence of the role of foundations in bolstering the American state's rationalisations and activities in favour of war, during World War I and after the Cold War. The article shows how a relatively vaguely formulated idea in the early twentieth century, about a link between democracy, international trade and peace, and a consequent link between autocracy and war, and the inability of the two kinds of system to coexist, became, after the Cold War's end and with strong foundation backing, a socialscientifically legitimated core of US military and civilian power strategies.
