Book Synopsis Britain and the Economic Problem of the Cold War by : Till Geiger
Download or read book Britain and the Economic Problem of the Cold War written by Till Geiger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many accounts of British development since 1945 have attempted to discover why Britain experienced slower rates of economic growth than other Western European countries. In many cases, the explanation for this phenomenon has been attributed to the high level of defence spending that successive British post-war governments adhered to. Yet is it fair to assume that Britain's relative economic decline could have been prevented if policy makers had not spent so much on defence? Examining aspects of the political economy and economic impact of British defence expenditure in the period of the first cold war (1945-1955), this book challenges these widespread assumptions, looking in detail at the link between defence spending and economic decline. In contrast to earlier studies, Till Geiger not only analyses the British effort within the framework of Anglo-American relations, but also places it within the wider context of European integration. By reconsidering the previously accepted explanation of the economic impact of the British defence effort during the immediate post-war period, this book convincingly suggests that British foreign policy-makers retained a large defence budget to offset a sense of increased national vulnerability, brought about by a reduction in Britain's economic strength due to her war effort. Furthermore, it is shown that although this level of military spending may have slightly hampered post-war recovery, it was not in itself responsible for the decline of the British economy.

Book Synopsis Hegemony and Culture in the Origins of NATO Nuclear First-Use, 1945–1955 by : A. Johnston
Download or read book Hegemony and Culture in the Origins of NATO Nuclear First-Use, 1945–1955 written by A. Johnston and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-11-18 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johnston argues that the preemptive first-use of nuclear weapons, long the foundation of American nuclear strategy, was not the carefully reasoned response to a growing Soviet conventional threat. Instead, it was part of a process of cultural 'socialization', by which the United States reconstituted the previously nationalist strategic cultures of the European allies into a seamless western community directed by Washington. Building a bridge between theory and practice, this book examines the usefulness of cultural theory in international history.
Book Synopsis Remaking France by : Brian A. McKenzie
Download or read book Remaking France written by Brian A. McKenzie and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public diplomacy, neglected following the end of the Cold War, is once again a central tool of American foreign policy. This book, examining as it does the Marshall Plan as the form of public diplomacy of the United States in France after World War Two, offers a timely historical case study. Current debates about globalization and a possible revival of the Marshall Plan resemble the debates about Americanization that occurred in France over fifty years ago. Relations between France and the United States are often tense despite their shared history and cultural ties, reflecting the general fear and disgust and attraction of America and Americanization. The period covered in this book offers a good example: the French Government begrudgingly accepted American hegemony even though anti-Americanism was widespread among the French population, which American public diplomacy tried to overcome with various cultural and economic activities examined by the author. In many cases French society proved resistant to Americanization, and it is questionable whether public diplomacy actually accomplished what its advocates had promised. Nevertheless, by the 1950s the United States had established a strong cultural presence in France that included Hollywood, Reader’s Digest, and American-style hotels.

Book excerpt: Controversy surrounds the construction of postwar European institutions. Did West European states simply respond to American pressure and Cold-War politics?

These studies, by an international team of historians, examine the motivations of national political leaders and their officials.

Book Synopsis The Practice of Shared Responsibility in International Law by : André Nollkaemper
Download or read book The Practice of Shared Responsibility in International Law written by André Nollkaemper and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 1229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third book in the series Shared Responsibility in International Law, which examines the problem of distribution of responsibilities among multiple states and other actors. In its work on the responsibility of states and international organisations, the International Law Commission recognised that attribution of acts to one actor does not exclude possible attribution of the same act to another state or organisation. Recognising that the applicable rules and procedures for shared responsibility may differ between particular issue areas, this volume reviews the practice of states, international organisations, courts and other bodies that have dealt with the issue of international responsibility of multiple wrongdoing actors in a wide range of issue areas, including energy, extradition, investment law, NATO-led operations and fisheries. These analyses jointly assess the fit of the prevailing principles of international responsibility and provide a basis for reform and further development of international law.

Book Synopsis The European Convention on Human Rights and General International Law by : Anne van Aaken
Download or read book The European Convention on Human Rights and General International Law written by Anne van Aaken and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Court of Human Rights is one of the main players in interpreting international human rights law where issues of general international law arise. While developing its own jurisprudence for the protection of human rights in the European context, it remains embedded in the developments of general international law. However, because the Court does not always follow general international law closely and develops its own doctrines, which are, in turn, influential for national courts as well as other international courts and tribunals, a feedback loop of influence occurs. This book explores the interaction, including the problems arising in the context of human rights, between the European Convention on Human Rights and general international law. It contributes to ongoing debates on the fragmentation and convergence of international law from the perspective of international judges as well as academics. Some of the chapters suggest reconciling methods and convergence while others stress the danger of fragmentation. The focus is on specific topics which have posed special problems, namely sources, interpretation, jurisdiction, state responsibility and immunity.
Book Synopsis Strengthening the Rule of Law through the UN Security Council by : Jeremy Farrall
Download or read book Strengthening the Rule of Law through the UN Security Council written by Jeremy Farrall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UN Security Council formally acknowledged an obligation to promote justice and the rule of law in 2003. This volume examines the extent to which the Council has honoured this commitment when exercising its powers under the UN Charter to maintain international peace and security. It discusses both how the concept of the rule of law regulates, or influences, Security Council activity and how the Council has in turn shaped the notion of the rule of law. It explores in particular how this relationship has affected the Security Council’s three most prominent tools for the maintenance of international peace and security: peacekeeping, sanctions and force. In doing so, this volume identifies strategies for better promotion of the rule of law by the Security Council. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of international law, international relations, international development and peacekeeping.
