Any new book by John Krige is always likely to offer original insights to our understanding of the interconnections between the history of science and international politics, and Sharing Knowledge, Shaping Europe is no exception. As all the three contributors to this H-Diplo Roundtable make abundantly clear, it is a significant contribution to the scholarly…

Policy Series: The Failed Promises of 1989 and the Politics of 2016

March 7, 2017December 24, 2020 By Jonathan Sperber

On the night of November 9, 1989, it was apparent to everyone on the scene in Berlin, and to spectators across the world, watching on TV, that history had reached a turning point. The ramifications of the opening of the Berlin Wall, as was also widely understood at the time, would not be limited to…

Roundtable 9-12 on Return to Cold War

March 3, 2017March 4, 2017 By Kimberly Marten, James M. Goldgeier, Rajan Menon, Condoleezza Rice, Angela Stent, Robert Legvold

As President Donald Trump’s administration begins, relations between the United States and Russia make the headlines almost every day. No one seems able to agree on what Russian President Vladimir Putin did or did not do to try to influence the 2016 U.S. elections, much less on what his ultimate aims are. Trump’s own cabinet…

Article Review 66 on “The Cold War, the developing world, and the creation of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 1953–1957”

January 12, 2017February 2, 2017 By Målfrid Braut-Hegghammer

When the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was created sixty years ago, it was presented as a development agency turning nuclear swords into ploughshares. A small group of nuclear ‘haves’ negotiated the IAEA Statute between 1953 and 1957, securing privileged positions for themselves. Less-developed states were largely ignored during this process. Unsurprisingly, nuclear haves (states…

Roundtable 8-8 on Rivalry and Alliance Politics in Cold War Latin America

January 25, 2016February 2, 2017 By Dustin Walcher, Thomas C. Field Jr., Charles Jones, Michael E. Neagle, Michael E. Neagle

Transitions from rivalry to alliance within bilateral relationships have received considerable attention from historians of U.S. foreign relations.   Or, more accurately, some alliances have received considerable attention; it remains unusual for works on inter-American relations to be cast principally as examinations of alliance politics. There are at least two interrelated reasons.   First, the vast…

Roundtable 8-2 on The Official History of the Joint Intelligence Committee, Vol. I: From the Approach of the Second World War to the Suez Crisis

September 21, 2015September 21, 2015 By H-Diplo

The publication of the first volume of Michael Goodman’s much anticipated official history of the British Joint Intelligence Committee is a major event for students of intelligence and international relations. For nearly eighty years the Joint Intelligence Committee [JIC] has been at the center of the British foreign and security policy machinery. The JIC system…

Forum 7 on “What Really Happened: Solving the Cold War’s Cold Cases.”

April 9, 2015January 23, 2021 By H-Diplo

While covert action had been a staple of American national security policy long before the Cold War, it was with that conflict that it gained wide-spread recognition as a key instrument of policy. Even after decades of analysis, however, we still are grappling with the question of what benefits these operations have provided to America’s…

Roundtable 7-7, The Triumph of Improvisation: Gorbachev’s Adaptability, Reagan’s Engagement, and the End of the Cold War

December 5, 2014May 27, 2017 By H-Diplo

Debates over the origins of the Cold War have long been a staple of graduate and undergraduate courses on historiography. Tracing the shifting interpretations of such an important era demonstrates how the writing of history influences and is influenced by the periods in which the history is written. The result has been a familiar tripartite…

Roundtable 6-9, “Flawed Logics: Strategic Nuclear Arms Control from Truman to Obama”

June 30, 2014September 14, 2017 By James McAllister, Aaron M. Hoffman, Jeffrey W. Knopf, T.V. Paul, James H. Lebovic

Heated debates about the merits of specific arms control agreements were a constant feature of the Cold War. Did the hawks or the doves offer a more compelling and intellectually consistent viewpoint in these debates? In his new book, which should be of great interest to both historians and international relations theorists, James Lebovic argues…

Roundtable 6-6 on Reconstructing the Cold War: The Early Years, 1945-1958

February 7, 2014September 27, 2015 By H-Diplo

H-Diplo has assembled a very impressive interdisciplinary (and international) lineup for this roundtable; all four reviewers provide, in my opinion, excellent analysis. Each of them finds much to praise about the book under review, in particular Ted Hopf’s fascinating historical account of Soviet political culture during the first thirteen years of the Cold War and…
