    SECURITY WITHOUT WAR A POST-COLD WAR FOREIGN POLICY Michael H. Shuman and Hal Harvey With a Foreward by Senator Paul Simon Westview Press Boulder • San Francisco • Oxford You will say at once that although the abolition of war has been the dream of man for centuries, every proposition to that end has been promptly discarded as impossible and fantastic. Every cynic, every pessimist, every adventurer, every swashbuckler in the world has always disclaimed its feasibility....But now the tremendous and present evolution of nuclear and other potentials of destruction has suddenly taken the problem away from its primary consideration as a moral and spiritual question and brought it abreast of scientific realism. It is no longer an ethical equation to be pondered solely by learned philosophers and ecclesiastics but a hard core one for the decision of the masses whose survival is the issue. – General Douglas MacArthur, 1955 CONTENTS Foreward, Senator Paul Simon Acknowledgments Introduction (n/a) Cold War Policies in a Post-Cold-War World Toward a New View of Security Organization of the Book Part I.

    y^-j" R-bu^ til WOODROW WILSON INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR SCHOLARS Budget Justifications for the Fiscal Year 1975 Submitted to the Committees on Appropriations Congress of the United States January 1974 WOODROW WILSON INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR SCHOLARS GENERAL STATEMENT The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars has now been in operation for a little over three years. It has acquired a distinct institutional life, an inventory of achievement, and a new sense of its unique potential as a "living memorial" to both the scholarly intensity and public concerns of a former President. The Center's on-going program of selecting fellows and facilitating their productive use of the vast resources of the Washington area remains central . An expanded range of activities is being added under the category of public service in order to encourage the more effective communication of scholars with the public sector. As of January 1, 1974, the Board of Trustees has approved 118 fellowship appointments for scholars coming from a broad variety of disciplines and professions — social sciences, humanities and natural sciences, law, diplomacy, journalism, and government. Approximately 60 percent of the scholars selected come from the United States; the remaining 40 percent come from 27 other countries and all major geographic regions. In addition the Center has made 34 guest scholar appointments and its facilities have been used by dozens of visiting scholars on an occasional basis.

    THE LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE American Power: For What? Ideas, Unipolarity and America’s Search for Purpose between the ‘Wars’, 1991-2001 Nicholas Kitchen A thesis submitted to the Department of International Relations of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2009 DECLARATION I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made.

Signature: Date: Declaration of word length I declare that my thesis consists of 88,818 words. Signature: Date: i ABSTRACT This thesis studies the debates surrounding the grand strategy of United States in the decade after the Cold War. ‗Bookended‘ by the fall of the Berlin Wall and the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001, it assesses the strategic ideas that were advanced to conceptualise American foreign policy, grouping these thematically under the headings of primacy, neoisolationism and liberal multilateralism. To this end the thesis introduces a neoclassical realist model of grand strategy formation, in which ideas are considered in conjunction with considerations of power in the international system.
