ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: the SOUND of SILENCE
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE SOUND OF SILENCE: POWER, SECRECY, AND INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCES IN U.S. OVERSEAS MILITARY BASING NEGOTIATIONS Jonathan N. Brown, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Paul Huth Department of Government and Politics This dissertation poses two basic questions: (1) Under what conditions are leaders more or less likely to publicly acknowledge cooperative security negotiations or to pursue talks secretly? (2) What impact does this decision have on leaders’ subsequent bargaining behavior and their overall prospects of achieving cooperation? To answer these questions, I develop a realist-inspired theoretical framework that advances two main arguments about leaders’ management of national security information. First, international audiences – namely, third-party states – rather than domestic audiences often constitute the principal targets of official secrecy and public acknowledgement. Second, leaders’ control of information is shaped primarily by the international strategic context and the scope of their states’ national security interests rather than domestic political incentives and institutions. My central claim and finding is that states’ power positions in the international system fundamentally influence not only the way that leaders control information during cooperative security negotiations but also the impact that information management has on leaders’ subsequent willingness to make concessions during talks and their likelihood of reaching an agreement. I evaluate these arguments

I oppdemmingspolitikkens grenseland Nord-Norge i den kalde krigen 1947–70 Stian Bones Avhandling levert for graden Doctor Artium UNIVERSITETET I TROMSØ Det samfunnsvitenskapelige fakultet Institutt for historie Februar 2007 2 3 Forord Den perioden jeg har arbeidd med avhandlinga har vært rike år. Jeg har blitt kjent med mange nye mennesker; jeg har blitt fortrolig med et nytt forskingsfelt; jeg har fått gode muligheter til å reise på forskingsopphold og delta på konferanser – kort sagt: jeg har vært privilegert. I disse åra møtte jeg også Helga, som ble kona mi, og sammen har vi fått to flotte barn. Helga har vært tålmodigheta sjøl i denne tida – med småbarn, oppussing og avhandlingsarbeidet mitt, og jeg takker deg så mye for det. Jeg fikk muligheta til å forske i den kalde krigens historie som stipendiat ved Høgskolen i Bodø/Norsk Luftfartsmuseum 2001–04. Museet og høgskolen ga meg svært gode arbeidsbetingelser, og jeg er veldig takknemlig for det. Nå vil jeg gjerne få takke mine venner på museet og historikermiljøet ved høgskolen for ei flott tid. Særlig vil jeg trekke fram det såkalte ”forskingsseminaret” på høgskolen, der jeg har lagt fram mange utkast og fått nyttige kommentarer. Fra Bodø-miljøet vil jeg få nevne noen spesielt: Karl L. Kleve for et langvarig og godt samarbeid, Svein Lundestad, som har lagt alt til rette for meg og vært rausheta sjøl, og Wilhelm Karlsen, min gode kollega og venn. Takk skal dere ha! Også historikermiljøet i Tromsø skal ha en takk for mange gode kommentarer og innspill underveis i prosessen. Hallvard Tjelmeland har vært min samvittighetsfulle veileder under arbeidet.

Irwin Abrams—Historian and Champion of the Nobel Peace Prize by Peter Van Den Dungen
30 PEACE & CHANGE / January 2005 Irwin Abrams—Historian and Champion of the Nobel Peace Prize by Peter van den Dungen Although the subject of much interest and admiration around the world, scholarly interest in the Nobel Peace Prize, as well as exploration of its potential as an instrument of peace education, has been limited. Irwin Abrams’s many publications in the field, especially during the past quarter century, has made him both the prime scholar-historian of the prize, and its leading publicist and popularizer. His writings on the subject comprise three related but distinct aspects: documentation, education and outreach, and interpretation and evaluation. While the history of pacifism and of the peace idea is a long one, that of the organized peace movement is confined to the last two centuries. The history of the Nobel Peace Prize is even shorter; the Norwegian Nobel Committee was established and the Prize instituted in the closing years of the nineteenth century, the first award being made in 1901. Many of the early laureates of the prize were prominent members of the international peace movement of the time, with strong connections to some of its leading organizations, especially the International Peace Bureau (IPB) and the Inter-Parliamenary Union (IPU). The creation of the prize itself cannot be separated from the general peace movement milieu—its organizations and leaders, as well as their campaigns and ideas—out of which it was born during the last decade of the nineteenth century. Alfred Nobel urged Bertha von Suttner to inform him of the work in which she and her fellow peace campaigners were engaged and to convince him of its effectiveness.
