Joining the conservative brotherhood
This article analyzes an important turning point in US–Israeli relations – Nixon's shift in the direction of Israel. The article argues that the standard array of factors employed in the ‘special relationship’ discourse – namely, strategic partnership, a sense of shared values, and skillful practice of interest-group politics by Israel and its American Jewish champions – does not fully explain Nixon's shift. Another salient factor was Israel's ma…
Idealpolitik in Disguise
the heyday of detente, in October 1972, US and Soviet officials signed a trade agreement that called for the extension of mostfavoured-nation status to the Soviet Union. The congressional debate over the legislation, needed to implement the agreement and which focused on the Soviet Union's stance on the emigration of Jews, led to the passing in December 1974 of the JacksonVanik amendment to the Trade Act of 1974; it barred the extension of most-f…

A Conflict Perpetuated
The first comprehensive account of China policy during the Kennedy years, this study profiles John F. Kennedy as a man whose inner struggles and disparate characteristics made for an unpredictable foreign policy. While he was often a hostage to the Cold War, to constrictive perceptions of the domestic climate, and to the image of a predatory China, Kennedy recognized Washington's finite capacity to shape events on the China Mainland. With the pos…
Limited Accommodation, Perpetuated Conflict
The United States and China conducted an important relationship during the Kennedy years. The China factor figured significantly in Kennedy's halting progress toward détente with the Soviet Union, in his quest for a nuclear test ban, and in his handling of the Vietnam issue. As well, the notion of a critical contest with the Chinese over Third World allegiances both fueled and colored official interest in the Asian-African arena.1 For its part, B…
Choosing War
Kennedy, China, and the Tragedy of No Chance
The articles under review all contribute to the growing literature on American China policy during the 1950s and 1960s. The authors illu minate understudied aspects, notably the fascinating food relief de bate. Furthermore, directly or indirectly, they explore the most fundamental pertinent questions: How was American China policy made during the 1950s and 1960s? How responsive were key deci sion-makers to both second-echelon and nongovernmental …
Mist Across the Bamboo Curtain
In examining the developments leading to the war between the United States and Japan, the latter's signing of the Axis Pact in September 1940 accelerated the already deteriorating relations between the two countries, a downward spiral that had been quickening since the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in July 1937. But from May to mid-July of 1940, the period when Admiral Yonai Mitsumasa was the Japanese prime minister, opportunities existed for Japan …
