Coping with Conflict in the Late Twentieth Century
The human species has always displayed two faces, one pacific, the other belligerent. On one side Thomas Hobbes, Alexander Hamilton, and their neo-Calvinist descendants argue that only a disciplined socio-political order can civilize the darker side of human nature. On the other side J.J. Rousseau, Thomas Jefferson, and modern liberal idealists celebrate the innate civility and pacifism of humankind. Both are of course right. As recently as the l…

From Ideology to Program to Policy
The Carter human rights policy was grounded in American historic oscillation between pragmatism and idealism. It represented a major change, yet was prefigured in congressional initiatives, which continued thereafter. After an initial honeymoon, human rights like all “new” policies became a contentious bureaucratic and diplomatic issue, was modified to fit changing realities, and was eventually obscured by crises in Iran and Afghanistan. Criticiz…

Assessing Arms Control Measures
The U.S. has since World War II followed a defense policy and strategy that combined traditional national approaches with features especially typical of American attitudes toward war and peace as well as force and power. The deep dilemmas of nuclear deterrence confront the U.S. with an inescapable dilemma, which in turn motivates an increasingly serious arms control policy
A Strategy for the United States
Planning Foreign Policy
Zbigniew Brzezinski, writing in 1969 after a two-year tour of duty in the State Department Policy Planning Council (as it was then called), was highly critical of the secretary of state for persistent neglect of his planners. Professor Brzezinski's recommendation was that the staff be reduced in size, upgraded in status, and closely related to the Secretary.1 The model, as in most subsequent American (and other) efforts at foreign policy planning…

Computers and policy-making
Most observers of US foreign policy decision-making would probably agree that, whatever the virtues or defects of a particular policy choice, the process by which decisions are reached on crisis or incipient crisis situa- tions leaves something to be desired.Despite good intentions, there persists an all-too- frequent tendency to be taken by surprise, to lurch from crisis to crisis, to under-use instru- ments of preventive diplomacy, and to be fa…

American Policy Toward the UN—Some Bureaucratic Reflections
Students of international organization, like students of domestic government, usually focus their attention on problems of formal organizational structure and arrangements and quite often neglect the substratum of informal operations and relationships. The study of public administration, in its quest for greater depth of perception, has in recent years gained rich insights through analysis of the informal and human aspects of policymaking. But in…

Peacekeeping and Peacemaking
IF conflict in Rhodesia or Viet Nam?or half a dozen other places?should develop in a way that makes a United Na tions peacekeeping force desirable and even urgent, what would happen?

Would they be authorized to use their weapons? Who would pay for the undertaking? In the ten ye…
Arms Control and the Developing Countries
The detonation of Peking's first atomic devices in recent months has X provoked renewed widespread discussion of the dangers of the further spread of nuclear weaponry. Speculation has flourished about who would be next—Sweden? Japan? Israel? Or perhaps India, which has become the first nonnuclear country to build a chemical separation plant? Cost estimates put nuclear weapons within reach of the poorest nations within a few years. Governments hav…

The United States, the United Nations, and the Creation of Community
All rhetoric aside, the fundamental long-range task facing the United States in its international strategy is to substitute processes of cooperation, order, and eventually world law for the anarchy and narrow nationalism that continue to endanger world peace and stability

International Force in a Disarming—but Revolutionary—World
General disarmament plans, like weapons of mass destruction, supply excessive solutions to problems, and, like those weapons, they tend to leave unanswered many highly pertinent questions about lesser conflicts, low-level disorders, ambiguous enemies, and local policing jobs. By and large, strategic planners have come to recognize this weakness in military doctrines, but it is not certain that the planners of general and complete disarmament (GCD…
Headquarters-Field Relations
Of the many aspects of the UN operation in the Congo (ONUC) that gave rise to controversy, some were unique and can reasonably be chalked up to novelty and inexperience. One, however, is as old as military history itself. This is the matter of political control of a force once it is in the field. Two levels are involved: first, control of the field operations by headquarters; second, control of the military force in the field by the civilian auth…

Outer Space and International Cooperation
On October 4, 1957, when Sputnik I was successfully orbited, it was popular to say that mankind had entered a new age—the Age of Space. If this was not just hyperbole, perhaps we are entitled to make a few judgments about the Space Age as it moves toward the end of its first decade. For, even from this short a perspective, the Space Age sharply illustrates the portentous conflict in our time between the forces of neonationalism and, for want of a…

American Worldviews and the United Nations
When John Fitzgerald Kennedy became President of the United States in January 1961, many Americans, and probably an even greater number of other people, believed that an entirely new chapter had begun in American political history. People tend to read into contemporary events the trends they wish to see. For many, hopes and expectations about domestic and foreign policy alike were quickened by the impressive signs of youth, vigor, liberalism, and…

Space Law. C. Wilfred Jenks
Arms Control and International Order
A visitor from another, more advanced, planet would find many extraordinary paradoxes on earth, but surely the most extraordinary would be the fantastic destructive potential of nuclear weapons which contrasts starkly with the primitive and near-impotent institutions of global peacekeeping. He might marvel that a breed capable of producing the wealth for a $185 billion armory of lethal devices, let alone the technology for killing several hundred…
The United States, the Soviet Union, and the Prospects for Peacekeeping
When the United Nations Charter was drafted in 1945 the provisions for keeping the peace had to be drawn up in the abstract. There was no tangible enemy, crises were in the future, and commitments were made in a vacuum. It was only when it became clear what the world was really like that “peacekeeping” was invented. It turned out that in most conflict situations there was no definable aggressor or victim, that the danger was uncontrolled escalati…
