Negotiating Paradise: U.S. Tourism and Empire in Twentieth-Century Latin America
The Truman Doctrine: Containing Communism and Modernity
This article examines the enunciation in March 1947 of the Truman Doctrine. The doctrine pledged the United States to “assist free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.” Although the statement was initially aimed at winning congressional support for U.S. aid to Greece and Turkey, where the administration feared Soviet penetration, it ultimately underpinned U.S. Cold War policy throughout Euro…

Feature Review
In 1986 and 1987, as a Council on Foreign Relations international affairs fellow, I served in the Office of Chinese Affairs at the Department of State.

Although there…

Preventing alcohol-impaired driving through community self-regulation training
A community education program was designed to train the individual drinker to self-regulate his or her blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) below a level of impairment (.05 g/dl or 11 mmol/L).

From British India to French Indochina nationalist movements, some with a Marxist orientation, pressed their European colonial rulers for freedom. In China, Asia's largest and most populous country, Communist forces emerged triumphant in late 1949 after years o…
