New Armies from Old: Merging Competing Militaries Forces after Civil Wars
After the Shooting Stops
The academic study of civil war has arguably produced too many edited books, too many of which in turn have focused on the same cases and issues. Ending Civil Wars: The Implementation of Peace Agreements [End Page 174] is a rare exception. It is innovative in its choice of topic, methodology, and iconoclastic policy conclusions, and it is likely to have a substantial impact on the field

Stopping the Killing: How Civil Wars End
The failure of the Arab oil weapon in 1973–1974
The Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEQ stated that the 1973–1974 oil embargo was designed to force Israel to return the territory captured in 1967, alter the status of Jerusalem, and restore the rights of the Palestinians. It seemed in a strong position to ensure compliance with its demands since it controlled a large proportion of oil exports and had impressive financial resources, while the industrial countries had no ava…
A Skeptic's View of Corporate Jobs and New Academic Programs
Like the leading edge of the hurricaine, the first signals of the approaching depression in the academic job market are upon us. The change in expectations from 1968 to 1978 is hard to overstate. Departments that assumed their students would get “appropriate” jobs without help must now organize to get any employment for some of their graduates. It is not uncommon for graduates from second-level institutions to find that there simply are no academ…

Rejoinder to Piers
Ploughman highlights three important points. (X) The argument that Eastern Europe is different from other areas of the world is central to my thesis; if that argument falls, so does the overall thesis. The case for the distinctiveness of Eastern Europe is made in the article, and the reader must decide whether or not to accept it. (2) Ploughman suggests that the United States must be opposed to Soviet control of Eastern Europe because it seized c…
Soviet Control of Eastern Europe: Morality versus American National Interest
The American policy of opposing Soviet control of Eastern Europe has not been seriously questioned, probably because morality (encouraging self-determination) seems to coincide with national interest (weakening Soviet power). This article contends, however, that the primary American national interest in Eastern Europe is the prevention of thermonuclear war. Eastern Europe without tight Soviet control would be very unstable due to disputes between…
The Missile Gap Controversy
The disputes surrounding the formation of military policy are not famous for their clarity, yet, even so, the controversy over the missile gap stands out as a muddled issue. The controversy arose in the late 1950S as a result of intelligence estimates that between 1960 and 1964 the Soviet Union might have more intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) operational than would the United States. Assuming the existence of a missile gap, opponents o…
