Evaluating the Demise of the Soviet Union
Editor's Introduction: The disintegration of the Soviet Union in late December 1991 was one of the most remarkable events of the twentieth century. The Cold War had ended two years earlier, in 1989, with the collapse of East European Communism, but the dissolution of the Soviet Union in late 1991 made clear that the Cold War was truly over and that a new phase of international politics had begun. To be sure, the advent of the post–Cold War era di…
Reykjavik Up Close
A veteran U.S. diplomat, who is now one of the last living participants in the U.S.-Soviet summit meeting at Reykjavik in October 1986, traces the genesis, nature, and aftermath of that summit. He recounts changes in U.S.-Soviet relations during the first several years of the Reagan administration, including important events such as the 1983 Pentecostalist negotiations, the shootdown of a South Korean passenger airliner by Soviet air defense forc…
Cold War Adviser
Llewellyn Thompson was arguably the most influential figure who ever advised U.S. presidents about policy toward the Soviet Union during the Cold War, yet until 2018 no book-length biography of him had appeared. Fortunately, a stellar biography was published last year, and it is the subject of this book forum. Thompson's two daughters, Jenny and Sherry, wrote the book after carrying out extensive archival research. The finished book is both absor…
From Washington to Moscow
Louis Sell is a retired U.S. Foreign Service Officer whose 27-year career included an extraordinary series of assignments that allowed him to witness the final decades of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. From the prelude of a student visit to Moscow in 1967, to State Department work on the U.S.-Soviet summit of May 1972, to the “dissident beat” at the U.S. embassy in Moscow in the late 1970s, to strategic arms negotiations in Geneva in the early …
US Foreign Policy and Democracy Promotion
This edited volume in the Routledge Studies in US Foreign Policy series tracks democracy promotion in U.S. policy, covering every president from Theodore Roosevelt on. Many chapters were first presented as papers at a 2010 conference on “US Presidents and Democracy” at the University of London's Institute for the Study of the Americas, but most have been updated to extend into 2012. They gather a posse of younger British scholars around three sen…

When Policy Failed
Six former U.S. State Department officials, all of whom were involved in U.S. foreign policy during the Carter administration, respond to the article by James Blight and janet Lang. Their reactions vary, but one common point of concern is whether Blight and Lang are correct in arguing that “empathy” as an organizing concept or analytical tool will be useful “not just in conferences in which the past is revisited, but also in the present and futur…

Included are general surveys on Galicia within the imperial Habsbur…

In-Service Training in Junior Colleges
T HE present-day junior-college administrator has grown indifferent to one of his most important responsibilities-the continuous improvement of the classroom efficiency of his instructors. An analysis of the causes leading to the neglect of this important function will lend perspective in re-evaluating the place of in-service training in the administration of the junior college. The underlying cause for the juniorcollege dean's indifference lies …
