Book Synopsis Power And Prejudice by : Paul Gordon Lauren
Download or read book Power And Prejudice written by Paul Gordon Lauren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since it first appeared, Power and Prejudice has been hailed as a bold, pioneering work dealing with one of the central and most controversial issues of our time?the relationship between racial prejudice and global conflict. Powerfully written and based on documents from archives on several continents, this award-winning book convincingly demonstrates that the racial issue, or what W.E.B. Du Bois called ?the problem of the twentieth century,? has profoundly influenced most major developments in international politics and diplomacy.Lauren begins with a thought-provoking discussion of the heavy burden of history's pattern of conquest and slavery wherin skin color identified master and slave, conqueror and conquered. He then examines bitter twentieth-century conflicts over race, including immigration exclusion and the ?Yellow Peril,? the ?Final Solution? of the Holocaust, decolonization, the impact of the Cold War on the civil rights movement, and the global struggle against racial prejudice. In this new edition, Lauren adds dimensions about Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific, exploring the racial dimensions of immigration exclusion and warfare. He contributes significant new material about international issues regarding indigenous peoples around the world, including self-determination, sovereignty, and discrimination. And finally, he examines the dramatic events surrounding the end of apartheid in South Africa.Eloquent, provocative, and informed by first-rate scholarship, the insights of this highly original work will appeal to general readers as well as to students and scholars from a broad range of disciplines.

Book Synopsis Racism, Diplomacy, and International Relations by : Ko Unoki
Download or read book Racism, Diplomacy, and International Relations written by Ko Unoki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unoki addresses the significance of racism in international relations by focusing on its conception as a doctrine and its interrelationship with imperialism, its doctrinal role in the development of the discipline of International Relations (IR), and various episodes from Western and Asian history in which racism had affected state behavior and the practice of diplomacy. The creation of empires that oppressed indigenous peoples, the two World Wars and the campaigns of ethnic “cleansing” and genocide that accompanied these wars and other conflicts, and international movements calling for the elimination of racial discrimination, attest to the impact racial prejudice, or racism, has had on international relations. Despite this history, racism’s relevance is seldom mentioned in IR courses offered in universities or IR textbooks. Instead, IR scholars have often explained the behavior of states using the framework of theories that highlight variables and themes such as power, fear, and the search for security in an anarchic world. Unoki demonstrates that racism has not only substantially influenced the course of international relations but that it continues to do so in the 21st century, making it imperative that policymakers are aware of racism’s deleterious legacy. A vital resource for students, policymakers, and those who are interested in building a more tolerant and just world.
Book Synopsis Diplomacy in Black and White by : Ronald Angelo Johnson
Download or read book Diplomacy in Black and White written by Ronald Angelo Johnson and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This will be the first monograph-length study of U.S. diplomacy toward Saint-Domingue during the Adams administration. The book offers a detailed examination of the relationship between U.S. President John Adams and Toussaint Louverture, military commander of the French colony Saint-Domingue. Ronald Johnson presents the complex history of the bilateral relations between these two Atlantic leaders representing the first diplomatic relationship the United States had with a government of black leaders. Over the course of seven chapters, Johnson looks beyond the diplomacy itself to find the long lasting effects it had on the evolving meanings of race, the struggles over emancipation, and the formation of an African identity in the Atlantic world. Johnson argues that this brief moment of cross-cultural cooperation, while not changing racial traditions immediately, helped to set the stage for incremental changes in American and Atlantic world discussions of race well into the twentieth-century. Diplomacy in Black and White suggests that President John Adams and his administration abetted the idea of independence for people of color on the island of Hispaniola. This proposal represents an interpretative shift in the historiography. The book illuminates U.S. diplomacy in Saint-Domingue to explain how Americans and Dominguans worked together as relatively equal partners, occupying a similar position within a volatile Atlantic context"--

Book Synopsis Quiet Diplomacy in Action: The OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities by : Walter A. Kemp
Download or read book Quiet Diplomacy in Action: The OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities written by Walter A. Kemp and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quiet Diplomacy in Action is the first comprehensive account of the work of Max van der Stoel as High Commissioner on National Minorities for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). Because Van der Stoel worked discreetly, until now very little has been written about his activities. This book takes the reader behind the scenes to explain why the post of High Commissioner was created, what his mandate is, how he worked in practice, and what recurrent themes and issues he encountered. Quiet Diplomacy in Action also gives a detailed summary of the High Commissioner's activities in the more than fifteen countries that he was involved with between 1993 and 2001. Major documents relating to national minorities in the OSCE context are included in an annex. As Michael Ignatieff writes in the Foreword: `Everyone talks about conflict prevention. One of the few senior figures that actually does it is the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities'. This book, written in co-operation with Mr. Van der Stoel, gives a unique insight into conflict prevention, minority rights, and the challenge of resolving inter-ethnic tensions. It should be considered a primary resource for all those interested in these subjects.

Book Synopsis The Myth of American Diplomacy by : Walter L. Hixson
Download or read book The Myth of American Diplomacy written by Walter L. Hixson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this major reconceptualization of the history of U.S. foreign policy, Walter Hixson engages with the entire sweep of that history, from its Puritan beginnings to the twenty-first century’s war on terror. He contends that a mythical national identity, which includes the notion of American moral superiority and the duty to protect all of humanity, has had remarkable continuity through the centuries, repeatedly propelling America into war against an endless series of external enemies. As this myth has supported violence, violence in turn has supported the myth. The Myth of American Diplomacy shows the deep connections between American foreign policy and the domestic culture from which it springs. Hixson investigates the national narratives that help to explain ethnic cleansing of Indians, nineteenth-century imperial thrusts in Mexico and the Philippines, the two World Wars, the Cold War, the Iraq War, and today’s war on terror. He examines the discourses within America that have continuously inspired what he calls our “pathologically violent foreign policy.” The presumption that, as an exceptionally virtuous nation, the United States possesses a special right to exert power only encourages violence, Hixson concludes, and he suggests some fruitful ways to redirect foreign policy toward a more just and peaceful world.
Book Synopsis Race and Diplomacy in Zimbabwe by : Timothy Lewis Scarnecchia
Download or read book Race and Diplomacy in Zimbabwe written by Timothy Lewis Scarnecchia and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Rhodesian crisis' of the 1960s and 1970s, and the early-1980s crisis of independent Zimbabwe, can be understood against the background of Cold War historical transformations brought on by, among other things, African decolonization in the 1960s; the failure of American power in Vietnam and the rise of Third World political power. In this history of the diplomacy of decolonization in Zimbabwe, Timothy Scarnecchia examines the rivalry between Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe, and shows how both leaders took advantage of Cold War racialized thinking about what Zimbabwe should be. Based on a wealth of archival source materials, Scarnecchia uncovers how foreign relations bureaucracies in the US, UK, and South Africa created a Cold War 'race state' notion of Zimbabwe that permitted them to rationalize Mugabe's state crimes in return for Cold War loyalty to Western powers. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Book Synopsis Collective Preventive Diplomacy by : Barry H. Steiner
Download or read book Collective Preventive Diplomacy written by Barry H. Steiner and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powerful nations have often assumed a leadership role in international relations by becoming involved in ethnic conflict arising within small states. Recently however, their willingness to do so, at least unilaterally, has diminished. This study focuses on why and how powerful nations have acted together to dampen or forestall the expansion of small state conflicts while limiting potential risks to themselves. Employing a case-study method, Barry H. Steiner distinguishes between two types of collective preventive diplomacy, the insulationist and the interventionist. In the former, powerful nations are motivated to contain small power conflict in order to preserve their relations with other powerful nations. In the latter, they act to settle conflict between the small power antagonists themselves.
Book Synopsis Race Diplomacy by : Athan Andreas Biss
Download or read book Race Diplomacy written by Athan Andreas Biss and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acting as racial representatives, African Americans successfully tapped into the overlapping transatlantic networks of evangelical Christianity, social reform, and scientific rationalism that flourished in the mid-nineteenth century. These networks offered African American activists and other non-state actors access to an alternative international sphere beyond the established channels of state-to-state diplomacy. Within this space African Americans forged a distinct tradition of diplomacy that developed independently of and, at times, in direct opposition to U.S. foreign relations. Over the course of a century, African Americans went from stateless mavericks committed to disrupting U.S. foreign affairs to key state actors within the nascent U.S. cultural diplomacy apparatus during the Cold War. This dissertation examines a host of strategies utilized by African Americans to appeal to foreign populations and governments, bolster the international image of the race, and effect domestic change from 1855 to 1955. I refer to these strategies collectively as "race diplomacy," a term that reflects the self-conscious identification of many African Americans as racial representatives and the fact that for most of the period under review they pursued racially specific interests in the global arena rather than the foreign policy objectives of the United States. To achieve their objectives, African Americans forged relationships with other non-state actors, non-governmental organizations, and foreign governments based on shared interests or common enemies. Put simply: they practiced diplomacy. In identifying African American international engagement as a diplomacy this dissertation argues that scholars must pay greater attention to the distinct tradition of African American diplomacy that developed independently of and often in direction to U.S. foreign policy.
Book Synopsis Black Diplomacy by : Michael L. Krenn
Download or read book Black Diplomacy written by Michael L. Krenn and published by M.E. Sharpe. This book was released on 1999-01-13 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating look at a previously ignored piece of our nation's history, Black Diplomacy covers integration of the State Department after 1945 and the subsequent appointments of Black ambassadors to Third World and African nations. In seven illuminating chapters, Krenn covers the efforts to integrate the State Department; the setbacks during the Eisenhower years; and the gains achieved during the administrations of JFK and LBJ. Not content with simply using traditional sources (federal and other governmental agency records), he gained fresh insights from the papers of the NAACP, African American newspapers, and journals of the period. He also conducted original interviews with Edward Dudley (America's first black ambassador), Richard Fox, Horace Dawson, Ronald Palmer, and Terrence Todman (never before interviewed--ambassador to six nations beginning in 1952, and an assistant secretary of state). This unique look at the period will be of interest to anyone attempting to understand both the history of the civil rights movement in the U.S. and America's Cold War relations with underdeveloped nations during the quarter century after World War II.
Book Synopsis The Handbook of Cross-Border Ethnic and Religious Affinities by : Charity Butcher
Download or read book The Handbook of Cross-Border Ethnic and Religious Affinities written by Charity Butcher and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, ethnic and religious variables are taken into account to explain conflict and relations between nations. However, ethnic and religious groups exist beyond the confines of frontiers. In Africa, for example, hundreds of ethnic groups were divided by colonial borders, and many retained kinship connections to their brethren in other countries, thus creating “cross-border ethnic/religious affinity.” Such cross-border connections affect a variety of foreign policy, from diplomacy to the use of force. An internal problem can spread to other states, or external actors can become involved in domestic disputes due to such factors. Therefore data on cross-border connections are essential to measure and assess their actual or potential effects on foreign policy or conflict. This unique resource serves both qualitative and quantitative researchers. For ease of use, it is divided in sections for each region of world, with the entries organized by pairs of contiguous countries. Each entry for a pair of countries briefly discusses the ethnic and religious groups that are common to both countries and the historical and current connections between these groups. The entries are organized based on the Correlates of War country codes, which are widely used by researchers and allow for country pairs to be organized geographically within each section to facilitate easy use of the data.
Book Synopsis The Color of Empire by : Michael L. Krenn
Download or read book The Color of Empire written by Michael L. Krenn and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first glance, it may be difficult to accept that race and racism play a major role, whether conscious or subconscious, in policymaking. But leaders are products of their upbringing and era, and even some of America's best-educated presidents and secretaries of state have been slave owners, segregationists, or bigots. Some belong to America's distant past, but it was not so long ago that the civil rights movement began to correct America's troubled race relations. While race has rarely served as the primary motivating factor in America's foreign policies, Michael Krenn shows that it has functioned as both a powerful justification for U.S. actions abroad and a significant influence on their shape, direction, and intensity. Portraying nonwhite races as inferior allowed U.S. policymakers to rationalize territorial expansion at the expense of Native Americans and Mexico, to demonize the enemy in wars fought against Filipino insurgents and Japanese soldiers, and to justify intervention in developing nations. Racism made America's leaders soft on European colonialism, and U.S. racial segregation laws were an obstacle to winning hearts and minds in the developing world during the Cold War. Race plays a more subtle role in U.S. foreign relations today, but speeches about turning the war on terror into a crusade, the abuse of detainees in military prisons, and apathy toward genocide in Darfur can be explained, in part, by prejudice. The Color of Empire challenges readers to recognize that American perceptions and prejudices about race have influenced the conduct of U.S. foreign relations from the colonial era to the present. This concise survey is an excellent introduction to the topic for both students and general readers.
Book Synopsis Faith–Based Diplomacy by : Brian Cox
Download or read book Faith–Based Diplomacy written by Brian Cox and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of religion and religious actors combined with nonstate actors increasing influence in the international order has become the new normal. These fundamental changes in the security environment call for a new paradigm to address national security concerns. That paradigm must acknowledge the cultural and historical factors at the heart of many identity-based conflicts and advance the role of nation-states in resolving them. That emerging paradigm is faith-based diplomacy, and this bookwritten by one of the worlds leading expertsdescribes the principles and methodology of this form of engagement in the strategic political realm. It is informed by twenty-five years of experience in some of the worlds roughest neighborhoods, including East Central Europe and the Balkans, Sudan, Kashmir, and the Middle East. Canon Brian Cox is an ordained Episcopal priest; a pastor in Santa Barbara, California; a diplomat with a Washington, DC, nongovernmental organization; and a professor in a law schoolbased conflict-resolution program in Southern California.
