Kniefall and Ostpolitik: Willy Brandt’s Legacy for Germany and the West
Willy Brandt was one of the most distinguished founders of the Federal Republic of Germany, a country that now ranks as the most admired and respected in the world. An exile who fought against the Nazis, returned to become Mayor of Berlin when the Wall was built, and then as Chancellor went on to conduct the policy of Ostpolitik, which sought to reconcile Germany with the Eastern European countries and the Soviet Union, Brandt was a visionary lea…
Maritime Territorial Disputes in Asia and the Relaxation of Cold War Tensions: The Case of Dokdo and the 1965 Japan-Korea Normalization Agreements
This article continues the legal and historical inquiry into the dispute between Japan and Korea over Dokdo, an island that sits in the sea between the two nations, by examining the 1965 normalization agreement between Japan and Korea. Japan has argued that the agreement, in which Japan provided economic aid to Korea, settled all outstanding claims stemming from World War II between the nations, including those over territory. We analyze the mean…

Henry Kissinger: Realism, Domestic Politics, and the Struggle Against Exceptionalism in American Foreign Policy
Henry Kissinger was the single most controversial diplomat of the 20th century. This article explores Kissinger's approach to the philosophy of realism in international affairs, his role in Vietnam policy making, and his most recent engagement in the debate over the Iraq War. It argues that Kissinger's realism, although philosophically consistent and having roots within his own life's experience, was always tempered by his desire to exercise infl…
Legacies of détente: A three-way discussion
Participating in this discussion about détente with two respected friends and scholars, both of whom have authored significant books about the subject of my current research, Henry Kissinger, compels me to confess that I have been strongly influenced by their work, and that this discussion threatens to be repetitious and even dangerously in agreement! Nevertheless, having been invited by Noam Kochavi to comment upon and discuss some of the big is…
The United States and Germany in the Era of the Cold War, 1945–1990: A Handbook
These volumes were originally published in 2004. The close association between the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany was a key element in the international order of the Cold War era. No country had as wide-reaching or as profound an impact on the western portion of divided Germany as the United States. No country better exemplified the East-West conflict in American thinking than Germany. The United States and Germany in the Era o…

Whither Clinton and Foreign Policy? A Year-End Review
Malgré quelques succès relatifs, la première année de la présidence Clinton a vu s'accumuler les échecs diplomatiques dans tous les dossiers difficiles. C'est que pour la première fois une administration doit formuler une politique étrangère en l'absence de menace militaire directe sur la sécurité des États-Unis. La fin de la guerre froide et le changement spectaculaire de l'environnement international ont eu pour conséquence de renvoyer l'Amériq…

The “Skeleton Key” — American Foreign Policy, European Unity, and German Rearmament, 1949–54
An older colleague recently observed to me that today we stand further removed in time from the end of World War II than Americans at the beginning of that conflict were from the Spanish American War. To those Americans of 1939, he said, the war with Spain seemed almost antediluvian, while to us World War II lives vividly in memory, and its consequences still shape our lives. As a student of modern American foreign policy, I found my colleague's …
