Download or read book ANZUS in Crisis written by Jacob Bercovitch and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alliances between states are a major feature of the contemporary international system. As long as alliances have been in existence so have crises between allies. No other crisis, however, evoked such strong emotions and open disagreements as did the crisis between Australia, New Zealand and the USA - the ANZUS alliance. The crisis raised serious questions about international morality, the role of nuclear weapons and the best way of lessening the risks of a major conflict. It changed the perception of security interests in the Pacific and beyond, and threw into doubt the very existence of the postwar system of alliances. This book places the ANZUS crisis in the wider context of international alliance management in international affairs. The contributors are leading academics from each of the three countries involved. They offer fresh insights and a unique and valuable interpretation of the problem as seen from Australia, New Zealand and the USA.
Book Synopsis ANZUS and the Early Cold War by : Andrew Kelly
Download or read book ANZUS and the Early Cold War written by Andrew Kelly and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ANZUS Alliance was a defence arrangement between Australia, New Zealand and the United States that shaped international policy in the aftermath of the Second World War and the early stages of the Cold War. Forged by influential individuals and impacting on global events including the Japanese Peace Treaty, the Korean War and the Suez Crisis, the ANZUS Alliance was a crucial factor in the seismic changes that took place in the second half of the twentieth century. In this compact and accessible study Andrew Kelly lays out the tensions that underpinned the formation of the Alliance, as each power sought to extract maximum influence and prestige, and examines how the ANZUS powers worked together (or failed to do so) when responding to massive global events including the rise of the People's Republic of China and the waning of the British Empire. Kelly comprehensively explores the reasons why Australia and New Zealand disagreed so regularly about mutual security issues, how US global leadership shaped ANZUS, and the British impact on the trilateral relationship, and outlines how these issues set the foundations for today's world order. ANZUS and the Early Cold War is essential reading for historians of Australian, New Zealand and American international relations in the twentieth century. Its concise format and readable style will also appeal to general readers interested in the history and foreign policies of these nations, and to anyone who wants to know more about the individual and geopolitical tensions that beset any major alliance.
Book Synopsis The ANZUS Crisis, Nuclear Visiting and Deterrence by : Michael Pugh
Download or read book The ANZUS Crisis, Nuclear Visiting and Deterrence written by Michael Pugh and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of nuclear weapons has been a critical problem for the NATO alliance. In the Pacific, a region of increasing strategic interest for the United States and Soviet Union, nuclear weapons have been an environmental concern since the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Opposition to nuclear tests has now been taken a step further with the creation of a South pacific Nuclear Free Zone and the decision by a New Zealand Government to ban port visits by vessels believed to be carrying nuclear weapons. New Zealand's proposal to back its policy with legislation had been seen by the Reagan and Thatcher administrations as a threat to the principle of 'neither confirm nor deny' the presence of nuclear weapons on vessels. This 1989 study examines the questions of principle at issue, the evolution of the ANZUS crisis, its implications for the Western alliance structure as a whole, and the degree to which the 'nuclear-free' virus' in the South Pacific might be catching.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Companion to Politics of the World by : Joel Krieger
Download or read book The Oxford Companion to Politics of the World written by Joel Krieger and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-08-02 with total page 1056 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world has seen dramatic changes since the publication of the first edition of The Oxford Companion to Politics of the World in 1993. In the post-Cold War world, globalization now offers wealth and opportunities on a broader scale, as well as greater international harmony, but threatens to reinforce the advantage gap between wealthy and poor regions and intensify environmental degradation. Conflict and squalor--expressed in brutal brushfire wars, epidemics, and chronic underdevelopment--vie with equally dramatic accounts of growth and democracy associated with a liberal political order and the global diffusion of trade, investment, and communications. Drawing on the breadth of the first edition, this updated edition reflects the changing world with a reassessment of many of the core themes of the Companion, and new articles on the people, concepts, and events that have shaped the world since 1993. The second edition includes biographies of Kofi Annan, Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, and Gerhard Schröder; articles on events such as the Rwandan Genocide and the war in Kosovo; and coverage of international trade developments such as NAFTA and the World Trade Organization. Eighty-seven of the 672 articles in the Second Edition are completely new; most others are thoroughly revised. This edition also features a substantial new set of articles, a dozen essays on critical issues written by influential figures. Recognizing the importance of including varying viewpoints, the editors have commissioned these essays to provide an informed and often passionate debate on controversial topics. Discussions include Lani Guinier and Glenn Loury on Affirmative Action; Francis Fukuyama and Milton Fisk on the Limits of Liberal Democracy; and Lloyd Axworthy and John Bolton on the United Nations. The contributors discuss nearly every nation in the world, including extensive information on institutions, political parties, leaders, and the sources of political mobilization and conflict. The volume also includes biographies of more than seventy-five political leaders and thinkers who have shaped the contemporary political world. Articles include detailed discussions of critical historical developments and events, concepts, international law, and organizations. The Oxford Companion to Politics of the World, Second Edition is an accessible, timely, thought-provoking, and comprehensive reference that captures the complexity and vitality of contemporary world affairs.
Book Synopsis The Weaker Voice and the Evolution of Asymmetric Alliances by : Andrea Leva
Download or read book The Weaker Voice and the Evolution of Asymmetric Alliances written by Andrea Leva and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military alliances are a constant feature in international politics, and a better understanding of them can directly impact world affairs. This book examines why alliances endure or collapse. As a distinctive feature, it analyses asymmetric alliances focusing on the junior allies’ decision to continue or terminate a military agreement. It deepens our knowledge of alliance cohesion and erosion, investigating the relevance of the weaker side’s preferences and behavior in alliance politics. The author examines the literature on alliance persistence and termination and puts forward a theoretical model that helps interpret historical and contemporary cases in a way that is useful for expert researchers and non-expert readers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1984, the newly elected Labour Government's antinuclear policy collided with a United States foreign policy based on nuclear deterrence.

Based on previously classified government files in New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom as well as interviews with key protagonists and the author's own involvement in events, this account tells the inside story of this dramatic confrontation. This is the definitive account of a key turning point in New Zealand history and a dramatic story of powerful personalities tackling critical questions on the world stage.
