  • Putting the Canal on the Map: Panamanian Agenda-Setting and the 1973 Security Council Meetings
    This is a pre-peer-reviewed versions of Tom Long, “Putting the Canal on the Map: Panamanian Agenda- setting and the 1973 Security Council Meetings,” Diplomatic History, (forthcoming) Putting the Canal on the Map: Panamanian Agenda-setting and the 1973 Security Council Meetings Abstract In the early 1970s, Panama’s negotiations with the United States over the status of the Panama Canal had come to a frustrating standstill. The military government of Omar Torrijos had rejected the unratified treaties tabled by Marco Robles and Lyndon B. Johnson, only to find itself facing much less generous positions from the Nixon administration. Realizing that the issue of the canal was being ignored in Washington, the Panamanian government launched a new strategy of internationalizing the previously bilateral issue. To do so, it created and exploited an unusual, high-profile forum: extraordinary meetings of the U.N. Security Council in March 1973. In those meetings, Panama deftly isolated the United States in order to raise the issue’s profile and amplify the costs of leaving the matter unsettled. By using underutilized Panamanian sources, this article looks at how that meeting occurred, the burst of progress that followed, and how this early stage shaped the environment for the final negotiations under Jimmy Carter several years later. 1 This is a pre-peer-reviewed versions of Tom Long, “Putting the Canal on the Map: Panamanian Agenda- setting and the 1973 Security Council Meetings,” Diplomatic History, (forthcoming) Putting the Canal on the Map: Panamanian Agenda-setting and the 1973 Security Council Meetings “The United States has vetoed Panama’s resolution, but the world has vetoed the United States.”1 -Panamanian Foreign Minister Juan Antonio Tack, March 1973 In the middle of March 1973, ambassadors from the fifteen members of the United Nations Security Council gathered in Panama City for an extraordinary meeting.

  • The Effect of Patron Intervention on Unarmed Insurrections
    PEOPLE, POWER, AND THE STATE: THE EFFECT OF PATRON INTERVENTION ON UNARMED INSURRECTIONS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Zacchary R. Ritter, M.A. Washington, DC August 24, 2015 Copyright 2015 by Zacchary R. Ritter All Rights Reserved ii PEOPLE, POWER, AND THE STATE: THE EFFECT OF PATRON INTERVENTION ON UNARMED INSURRECTIONS Zacchary R. Ritter, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Andrew O. Bennett, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Unarmed insurrectionary (UI) campaigns demanding irregular regime change seem destined to failure, but such social movements surprisingly succeed more often than not. Explanations for campaign outcome tend to focus on movement skill or variation in domestic- level structural factors. Few studies shift attention to the potentially decisive role of external intervention during these domestic struggles. Despite some well-known exceptions like the Iranian Revolution, patron states have played an important role in determining the fate of several unarmed insurrections as intended. The outcome of UI campaigns rests not only on the domestic balance of forces and the decisions of key elite players, but also on the disposition of great powers and regional powers with a stake in the result. This dissertation addresses three interrelated questions to advance our understanding of the role patron states play during these domestic struggles over control for the state. First, do great powers and regional powers systematically alter the likelihood of UI campaign success? Using a novel measure for patron state intervention, quantitative analysis suggests that the probability of UI campaign success depends on how patron states react.

History A “Psychological Offensive”: United States Public Diplomacy, Revolutionary Cuba, and the Contest for Latin American Hearts and Minds during the 1960s Director of Dissertation: Chester Pach In January 1959 Fidel Castro took power in Cuba and soon proved to be a perplexing opponent for the United States. The island nation did not have to commit soldiers or weaponry to advance its revolutionary agenda in Latin America. The ideas and romanticism associated with the Cuban Revolution were enough to foster anti-U.S. and pro-Cuban sentiment in the region. Historian Thomas Wright wrote that the Cuban Revolution “embodied the aspirations and captured the imagination of Latin America’s masses as no other political movement had ever done.” Castro declared during the “Second Declaration of Havana” in 1962 that “it is the duty of every revolutionary to make the revolution.
