Nato: From Cold War to Ukraine
Peace through strength’: Europe and Nato deterrence beyond the US Nuclear Posture Review
With its 2018 Nuclear Posture Review, the Trump administration expanded the scope of US nuclear deterrence, re-emphasizing the importance of non-strategic nuclear weapons, perceptively lowering the threshold for nuclear use and casting doubt on the future of arms control. The authors argue that these changes are consistent with the administration's wider ‘peace through strength’ approach that draws on traditional Republican thinking on security p…
The secret life of Ian Fleming: Spies, lies and social ties
This article explores the fascinating interactions and experiences of James Bond creator, Ian Fleming, with the real world of intelligence. It has long been known that Fleming worked in Naval Intelligence during the Second World War. However, accounts of his time there tend to portray him as a lowly and slightly eccentric administrator. Drawing on newly discovered archival materials, plus memoirs and histories, it is argued here that Fleming was …
The Housewife, the Vigilante and the Cigarette‐Smoking Man: The CIA and Television, 1975–2001
Reeling from the revelations about its operations in the 1970s, the CIA set up an O ffice of P ublic A ffairs to improve its public image. Among its activities was greater engagement with television producers, but it largely failed to lead to more US drama series portraying the CIA in a better light. This article, however, analyses those few TV dramas that did characterize the CIA in the 1980s and 1990s – S carecrow and M rs K ing , The E qualize…

Justifying sacrifice: Barack Obama and the selling and ending of the war in Afghanistan
Since taking office, United States President Barack Obama has attempted to refocus and revitalize the US war against terrorism. The centrepiece of this effort has been an increased emphasis on the war in Afghanistan, which he has characterized as the real frontline of the war on terror—as opposed to the ‘distraction’ of the Iraq war. After years of fighting under the Bush administration, Obama has had to ‘sell’ to the US public the renewed effort…

Ten years on: Obama's war on terrorism in rhetoric and practice
Ten years after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington DC on September 11, 2001, the United States remains embroiled in a long-term struggle with what George W. Bush termed the existential threat of international terrorism. On the campaign trail, his successor as US President, Barack Obama, promised to reboot the ‘war on terror’. He claimed that his new administration would step back from the rhetoric and much of the Bush administration…
Beyond Bush: A new era in US foreign policy
American Exceptionalism and the Legacy of Vietnam: US Foreign Policy Since 1974
American Exceptionalism and the Legacy of Vietnam examines the influence on post-Vietnam US foreign policy of the belief in American exceptionalism--the notion that the US is an extraordinary nation with a special role to play in human history: not only unique but also superior among nations. Trevor B. McCrisken argues that although belief in American exceptionalism was shaken, it survived the trauma of Vietnam and continued to influence foreign …
