Eisenhower and the Cold War

Robert A. Divine, "Eisenhower and the Cold War"
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | 1981 | ISBN 0195028244 | PDF | 192 pages | 7.2 MB

Robert A. Divine's Eisenhower and the Cold War is a decidedly pro-Eisenhower treatment of American foreign policy during the Republican administration of the 1950s. Divine's Eisenhower is far from the do-nothing Ike whom critics have accused of deferring foreign policy to his subordinates; he is, on the contrary, a rational, calculating, active force exercising full control over decisions involving American security. Blessed with charm, self-confidence even in the midst of crises, and remarkable self-constraint, Divine's Ike appears as an exceptional, perhaps "great" President, unique among post-World War II American Presidents for his broad background in international affairs. Certainly, the author concedes that Eisenhower had certain shortcomings, such as a touchy sensitivity to public criticism and a European-oriented view of the world. Nevertheless, this book dwells heavily on Ike's foreign policy successes: bringing the Korean war to an end within six months of taking office, keeping America out of the crisis over the Suez Canal, refusing to intervene by arms and men in Indochina and Red China, refusing to force a showdown with the Soviets over Berlin, ending the atmospheric explosions of nuclear weapons. All the while, Divine's Eisenhower carefully guides foreign policy on a tough yet moderate course, seeking to decrease Cold War tensions while balancing economic and political imperatives alongside national security requirements.

Perceptions and Policy in Transatlantic Relations

Natividad Ferná, "Perceptions and Policy in Transatlantic Relations: Prospective visions from the US and Europe"
Publisher: Routledge | 2008 | ISBN 0415454875 | PDF | 168 pages | 1.5 MB

In this book, experts from both sides of the Atlantic, examine the recent tensions between Western Europe and the United States over such issues as transatlantic security, policies towards terrorism and relations with Russia and the former Soviet Union, against the broader background of perceptions and misperceptions in transatlantic relations. Drawing on Professor Robert Jervis' work, "Perceptions and Misperceptions in International Politics", this book examines whether Jervis' thesis has a new relevance given the current challenges in transatlantic relations.Some of the issues examined include: perceptions and misperceptions in general; focusing on US foreign policy, issues of decision-making and implementation and issues of alliance management; the capacity of the United States and the European Union to cooperate effectively within the broader transatlantic framework; studies focusing on the 'alliance security dilemma' and the transatlantic security community; case studies of transatlantic relations in the 'war on terror' and relations with Russia; and, the present and future of the 'western alliance'. Providing a global and multilateral analysis from American and European perspectives and exploring fields of cooperation and competition, "Perceptions and Policy in Transatlantic Relations" will be of strong interest to students of International Relations, American politics and European politics.

Dr Ch Marschall, "Iran's Persian Gulf Policy: From Khomeni to Khatami"
Publisher: RoutledgeCurzon | 2003 | ISBN 041529780X | PDF | 272 pages | 1.1 MB

This book examines the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran towards the Persian states from 1979 to 1998. It covers perceptions Iranians and Arabs have of each other, Islamic revolutionary ideology, the Iran-Iraq war, the Gulf crisis, the election of President Khatami and finally the role of external powers, such as the United States. The author argues that over the twenty year period, the policy has moved from being ideological to pragmatic; and that by tracing its history, we can better anticipate its future relationship.
