El "excepcionalismo" como conciencia de las diferencias entre los Estados Unidos y Europa (y el resto del mundo) y un sentido de superioridad se convirtieron en componentes del nacionalismo estadounidense y han afectado la forma en que los estadounidenses perciben el mundo y su papel en él. Hay muchas interpretaciones de cómo llegó a ser el país, cuáles son sus características definitorias y qué tan fácticos o meramente autocomplacientes fueron realmente o son ahora los elementos de las afirmaciones nacionalistas de excepcionalidad. Como cualquier principio nacionalista, la tesis de la excepcionalidad ciertamente requiere una interpretación deliberadamente selectiva e incompleta de la historia nacional. Este estudio examina el desempeño real actual del país, en términos económicos, sociales y políticos, en comparación con otras democracias desarrolladas, para evaluar la validez empírica de esa afirmación de "excepcionalidad" en la práctica real. Se ofrecen muchos enlaces a fuentes en línea gratuitas y de alta calidad en inglés para ayudar a las personas interesadas que deseen analizar más a fondo algunos aspectos de la situación contemporánea de los Estados Unidos en un contexto comparativo.... view less

"Exceptionalism" as an awareness of the differences between the United States and Europe (and the rest of the world) and a sense of superiority became components of American nationalism and have affected the way that Americans perceive the world and their role in it. There are many interpretations of how the country came to be, what its defining characteristics are, and how factual or merely self-congratulatory the elements of the nationalistic claims of exceptionality really were or are now. Like any nationalistic tenet, the exceptionality thesis certainly requires a deliberately selective and incomplete interpretation of the national history. This study examines the actual current performance of the country, in economic, social, and political terms, in comparison to other developed democracies, to assess the empirical validity of that "exceptionality" claim in actual performance. Many links to high-quality, cost-free online sources in English are offered to assist interested persons who wish to analyze further some aspects of the contemporary situation of the United States in a comparative context.... view less
