The policy that encouraged the growth of American influence without the use of military power is the Dollar Diplomacy.

The Dollar Diplomacy was created by the United States President William H. Taft under the counseling of his Secretary of State, Philander C. Knox. The policy wanted to protect the political and economic interest of the US in some countries.

That was the way to "protect" or maintain control over countries considered friends of the United States.
