With the development of economic and technology in the late 19th and early 20th century, the United States grew more and more powerful and started to play an important role in the world stage. The effective and efficient international policies would be the key component to for U.S to communicate with other countries. So, how about the international policies in that period? How was it related to the domestic policies? The international policies the United States adopted were tied to its domestic policies in many aspects, such as the impression of women as well as the racial economy related to corporate culture.

When it came to the impression of women in the international policy, the word, “diplomatic wives”, occurred to the mind. From the perspective of domestic part, women obtained their desired right to the elective franchise in 1920. It indicated the improvement of women’s status and their involvement in politics aspect. From the perspective of international policies, as in the article of Diplomatic Wives stated, “hundreds of married women accompanied their Foreign Service husbands to diplomatic and consular posts” (Wood 3). Those diplomatic not only preformed their traditional responsibilities as wives but also maintain American representation in diplomatic missions. For example, they would live well and dress appropriate without enough expense fee just in order to show goodwill of America. All of the involvement of women in diplomatic derived from the improvement of women status in the United States. Therefor, domestic and international policy were connected in the part of women’s effect.

Another connection between domestic policy and international policy was racial economy that corporate preferred white instead of black. As is well known, there were a serious segregation within the U.S, although the slavery was abolished. This kind of racial discrimination directly lead a variety of inequity to the black, such as unequal pay. At the same time, it also laid an adverse foundation on the international policies. For example, according to Banana Growing and Negro Management, “just as many white Northerners were accepting virulent white supremacy in the Jim Crow South, American diplomats often hesitated to protest Guatemalan violence against blacks” (Colby 604). The word, “hesitated”, exactly described the different treatment between white and black. From this point, the racial segregation was not only in domestic part but also embedded in the international policies. In summary, the international policies of America were more or less connected to its domestic situation. Because of the improvement of women’s status, they had the chance to represent America as a role of diplomatic. However, the domestic problem of racial discrimination couldn’t eliminated in the international policies.
