  • Rethinking religion: The legacy of the U.S.‐Saudi relationship

    Rachel BronsonARTICLEThe Washington Quarterly2005References: 8

    Saudi Arabia's religiosity was an asset to the U.S. during the Cold War, but it has since become a political liability. Religion is the core of the so‐called battle for hearts and minds and, although profoundly uncomfortable, must be addressed as part of a strategic reformulation of the bilateral relationship

  • The reluctant mediator

    Rachel BronsonARTICLEThe Washington Quarterly2002

    The Bush administration's efforts to directly involve the Egyptians, the Saudis, and the international quartet are a significant and welcome initiative. Unless it establishes a clear path along which to lead the rest of the world, however, its efforts will be for naught

  • When Soldiers Become Cops

    Rachel BronsonARTICLEForeign Affairs2002Cited by: 1

    As VIOLENCE in Afghanistan continues to simmer, the stabilizing role of American troops there looks increasingly necessary.

    Bashar Asad's ascent to power continues a generational shift throughout the Middle East. Unlike other countries, Syria is not a monarchy and legitimacy is not automatically transferred to the ruler's son. Is fear of instability enough to keep the elite united

  • Nato's mixed signals in the Caucasus and Central Asia

    Rachel Bronson, R BhattyARTICLESurvival2000

    NATO is expanding its presence in Central Asia and the Caucasus without any clear strategy concerning the Alliance's political goals and methods. Instead, individual members have pursued separate, and sometimes competing, interests and aims. In the absence of collective political guidance, NATO military planners have substituted bureaucratic temporisation for making hard decisions defining NATO's interests in the region and the limit of its reach…

  • Alliances, Preferential Trading Arrangements, and International Trade

    Open AccessEdward D Mansfield, Rachel BronsonARTICLEAmerican Political Science Review1997Cited by: 103References: 39

    We analyze the effects of alliances and preferential trading arrangements on bilateral trade flows. Both factors are likely to promote trade among members, but we argue that the interaction between them is central to explaining patterns of commerce. The combination of an alliance, which creates political incentives for participants to engage in trade, and a commercial institution, which liberalizes trade among members, is expected to provide a co…
