Abstract
This thesis refers to the role played by the great powers in the construction of the international political order. Great powers have historically implemented different strategies to exercise their domination, including the imperial rule. The issue has triggered the following question: why have the great powers preferred to appeal to formal imperialism or colonialism for most of history? Being this the predominant pattern, most studies on imperialism have concentrated on this type of domination. The interest of this doctoral research goes in the opposite direction from what has been the usual tendency among historians, that is, it deviates from the classical studies on colonialism and territorial annexation. It seeks to explore why some great powers lean towards a less overt formula of exercising domination: the informal empire. In particular, the work focuses on a case study: the relationship between the United States and the Dominican Republic during the twentieth century, which is characterized as a “militarized informal imperialism”. This category –as a type of informal empire differentiable from the imperialism of free trade– enriches the theoretical density of a concept originally formulated to refer to Great Britain’s relations of informal domination in the 19th century.
