This study further develops cosmopolitanism in conflict-related education settings through a historical examination of the United States' imperial expansion into the Philippines, the subsequent Philippine-American War, and the accompanying American education restructuring efforts in the Philippines at the turn of the 20th century. This conflict serves as a delimited historical site for research in which a cosmopolitanism-based framework is used to evaluate conflict-related education as an instrument of foreign policy.Employing the methodologies of historical research and critical policy analysis (CPA), this study draws widely from the literature on cosmopolitanism as well as primary and secondary sources related to the history of the Philippine-American conflict. President William McKinley's so-called benevolent assimilation proclamation of 1898 serves as the foundational historical policy document for this study. A top-level federal policy document, McKinley's proclamation provides a springboard for critically examining its associated history, politics, philosophy, rhetoric, and educational implications.This study argues that cosmopolitanism ethics consists of three essential elements: respect, responsibility, and rootedness. Respect recognizes that social justice and moral flourishing can be promoted by traditions and cultures other than one's own. Responsibility recognizes that one is obliged to take actions to promote social justice and human flourishing beyond their own tribal boundaries. Rootedness, meanwhile, promotes social justice and human flourishing within one's own culture. It is only when all three components are present that cosmopolitanism ethics are realized. By prioritizing economic profit, by favoring the American White-settler lived experience, and by actively repressing the history, political will, and agency of the Filipino people, this study argues that McKinley's proclamation set the stage for the most uncosmopolitan of education systems in the Philippines. Despite McKinley's rhetorical promise of democratic self-government, American education efforts in the Philippines instead came to follow a time-tested American system of suppressing indigenous culture, of racially separating students into educational tracts, and of creating uncritically patriotic subjects while simultaneously failing to prepare them for self-government.By providing a framework for shaping and evaluating the ethical application of cosmopolitanism in conflict-related education settings, this study provides context and understanding for present-day conflict-related education undertakings. Through an examination of the past, this study serves to inform and shape the approach of cosmopolitan-minded educators and policymakers in the future. 2021-06-01 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1622558189254457 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1622558189254457 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
