David Nichols characterizes this feeling of immutability as the “never again” mindset. Those who had endured World War II or colonization refused to tolerate any “conditions they believed” would lend themselves to a repeat of history.2 As a result, governing strategies took on new life immediately after World War II. American democracy and Soviet communism morphed into personal and collective identities, and supporters often defended them with religious-like intensity. Likewise, the nontraditional style of warfare fostered this sense of permanence. Foes did not fight necessarily to capture territories or repel invading armies. Conflict was not designed necessarily to commandeer a strategic location or capture an area rich in valuable natural resources. The Cold War was a fight for “for the soul of mankind.”3 Proponents stood firm, unwavering in their beliefs, and thus, entrenched in their pursuit of ideological dominance. Struggles dominated by ideology become moving targets with tactical objectives that are difficult to articulate. When the esoteric overshadows the practical, policies emerge that rarely offer a clear end. As in the case of the Cold War, the struggle over the minds of the people proved difficult to strategize. Disconnects existed between goals and actual implementation. Despite that lack of clarity, the spread of ideology proved to be the dominant 1 Melvyn P. Leffler, For the Soul of Mankind: The United States, the Soviets, and the Cold War (New York: Hill and Wang, 2008), 2. 2 David Nichols, Eisenhower 1956: The President’s Year of Crisis, Suez, and the Brink of War (New York: Simon & Schuster, 2011), 2-3. 3 Ibid, 146. 1 national interest for both the Soviets and the Americans. Each saw their respective “mission as a part of a world-historical progression towards a given goal.”4 For superpowers, spreading their respective form of government overshadowed standard issues of trade and economic exchange. Both parties determined diplomatic relationships largely through whether an ally embraced or rejected their governing process. More importantly, an ideology’s adaptability and palatability meant that it knew no borders. Therefore, no region fell outside the superpowers’ “geostrategic orbits.”5 The fight for the soul of the mankind played out in all corners of the globe. From China to Central America, South Africa to Germany, ideological and physical conflict ensued. Historian Jason Parker succinctly states that “the Cold War was a comprehensive struggle – geographical, ideological, and psychological – there was no dimension of international or domestic society it could not potentially touch.”6 There appeared no place immune to the Cold War conflict. This was especially true in those defining years between the late 1960s and the 1980s when brute determination overrode practical considerations. Strategy and circumstances propelled First World nations - namely the United States and the Soviet Union - into locales largely unidentifiable by their own constituencies. The United States found itself stuck, literally and metaphorically, in the thick of the Vietnam forests, while the Soviets’ quagmire in Afghanistan left them few options, but retreat. By its end, the Cold War had truly enveloped the entire world. Yet, even as scholarship gives more attention to the global nature of the war, the greater international community remains an appendage to the ideological narrative of the war. Although the tenants of each ideology remained largely consistent on an international level, the consequences of their implementation 4 Odd Arne Westad, The Global Cold War: Third World Interventions and the Making of Our Times (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2007), 72. 5 Robert McMahon, ed. The Cold War and the Third World (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013), 139. 6 Jason Parker “Decolonization, the Cold War, and the Post-Columbian Era,” in The Cold War and the Third World ed. Robert McMahon. (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013), 125. 2 were neither uniform nor logical. The global consequences reflect the particularities of each nation and region. The Cold War was greater than just a delicate, ideological stalemate between nuclear foes; it was a global battle over self-determination and identity in the Third World. Odd Arne Westad articulates this reality brilliantly in his 2007 retelling of the global Cold War. Westad examines the linkages that bound the First and Third World together in a truly international struggle. Economic, political, and military interventions in developing nations defined First World strategy, he argues, which has had a lasting impact until today. The decolonization process that emerged soon after World War II inspired nationalist movements that exposed cultural and geographical fault lines in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Territorial disputes, largely the product of colonialists’ artificial border creations, led to sporadic conflict, while nation-building brought representation to some and alienation to others. Newly formed governments aggressively pursued modernization programs that improved some standards of living, but exacerbated other inequalities. Developing nations built their own collective identities at the same time that First World governments injected Cold War ideologies into the development process.7 The multilayered, somewhat chaotic atmosphere contributed to the remaking of the international order, conceived new political movements, and incited regional conflict. This complex evolution and exchange came to define much of the Third World in such a dramatic fashion that developing nations created their own Cold War. Surprisingly, however, with such a particular experience, ongoing debates surrounding Cold War studies continue to focus almost exclusively on the First World. Melvyn Leffler offers a comprehensive account of the Cold War by retracing the progression of the entire conflict in order to explain the evolution in Cold War ideologies and 7 Westad, The Global Cold War, 1-7. 3 how the resulting competition became a fight for the soul of mankind. Leffler relies on a host of different perspectives to form an international narrative that portrays the war as an escalation of force - a graduation from mere political posturing to threats of nuclear exchange – without much sense of why or how. His approach ensures that readers grasp the war’s global ramifications. His chosen perspectives, however, are those of the major powers. His narrative relies almost entirely on the experiences of superpower leaders, like Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. “My focus is on leaders,” he states plainly in the introduction.8 Leffler is not alone. Jeremy Suri’s monograph likewise underscores the war’s global complexities by weaving together the histories of Europe, the Soviet Union, Asia, and the United States into a tremendous picture of interconnectedness. The thrust of his project deals with the interaction between domestic protest and Cold War politics. Suri offers a multitude of government perspectives arguing that détente emerged in the early 1960s as a result of world leaders’ inabilities to manage domestic unrest. Détente

The fear of such “substate conflict contagion” is frequently invoked by American policymakers as a justification for military intervention in ongoing substate conflicts — the argument these policymakers often make is that conflicts left uncontained now will spread and become a more pertinent security threat later. My State Action Explanation is that substate conflict contagion is not the sole product of nonstate factors such as transnational rebel networks and arms flows, nor of the structural factors such as poverty that make internal conflict more likely in general.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION CITIZENSHIP IN TWENTIETH- CENTURY ARGENTINA BENJAMIN BRYCE AND DAVID M. K. SHEININ t many moments in the twentieth century, the meaning of citizen- ship in Argentina has changed. In 1912, electoral reform expanded Avoting rights from elite men to include all men born or naturalized in the country.1 Only in 1947 did the franchise expand to include women. Yet, that alone is not the story of Argentine citizenship. When electoral democ- racy was interrupted in 1930, 1943, 1955, 1962, 1966, and 1976, people did not cease to be citizens. When Juan Perón became president in 1946, he cam- paigned heavily on the idea of social justice. During his populist rule, the rights of citizenship came to encompass greater access to social services and housing as well as higher wages. Throughout the century, citizenship—as a concept invoked by diverse groups of people—has defined people’s relation- ship with the state and their expectations about that state. It also shaped the rights and duties of not only Argentines but also foreign nationals living in the country. The language of citizenship was also fundamentally about belonging. Scholars in this volume and beyond use terms such as cultural, moral, and social citizenship. In seeking out these cultural, moral, and social require- ments, groups with power excluded others whose status in Argentine society was vulnerable. Even if formally citizens, workers, indigenous peoples, racial- ized groups, leftists, and religious minorities have often not been included in the Argentine body politic or have not experienced the same rights as others in many periods of the past century.

Los primeros ensayos neoperonistas se gestaron desde afuera del peronismo. El primer antecedente fue el intento encabezado por el general Lonardi (Spinelli, 2005), quien a través de la fórmula “ni vencedores ni vencidos” proyectó separar al movimiento peronista de Perón pivotando en los sindicatos, buscando rescatar sus valores sociales, reivindicando la transformación social que produjo en la Argentina, reconociendo la identificación de los sectores populares con el mismo, buscando mantener una suerte de continuidad de las ideas pero no de los métodos políticos aplicados por Perón.

  • Nationalism and Internationalism in the Era of the Civil War
    Interchange: Nationalism and Internationalism in the Era of the Civil War The nineteenth century was called by contemporaries the “age of nationalities.” New nation-states emerged around the world during this period. Many of these new nations were formed by and through warfare, so in that respect the United States’ experience of violent national consolidation during its civil war was not unique. Just to the south, violence, ideological confrontation, and foreign intervention marked Mexico’s process of national consolidation. To the north, the peaceful creation of the Dominion of Canada in 1867 transformed the internal organization of Canada and changed its place in the British Commonwealth. Across the Atlantic Ocean, national unification and mod- ernization took place, most notably in Italy and Germany. The 1860s also witnessed the Meiji Restoration in Japan, and the Paraguayan War accelerated processes that were transforming Brazil and Argentina. All of those events produced new, more robust forms of nation-states. Around the world, new nation-states replaced older structures of political organization—but why? The levée en masse of the French revolutionary wars, America’s Civil War, and the German wars of unification all exemplified the nationalist impulses involved in the development of the modern nation-state and modern nationalism. This online inter- change examines the ideological and material underpinnings of such conflicts to connect the nationalist impulses in the Atlantic world, Europe, and more broadly in this period. While a generation of historians worked to make American colonial history fit into a wider international frame of Atlantic history, and twentieth-century U.S.

  • Argentine National Identity and the War on Terror: Civilization, Barbarism, and Rumors of Islamic Radicalism in the Tri-Border A
    God is everywhere, but his office is in Buenos Aires. – Argentine Proverb ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the nuanced relationship between Argentine national identity, or argentinidad, and the introduction of the War on Terror into the Tri-Border Area of South America. An isolated and ill-governed frontier zone shared by Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, the Tri-Border Area was commonly associated with various illegal economic activities for decades. However, following the September 11, 2001 attacks, the American government and media falsely vilified the region as a haven for terrorist groups. While Paraguay and Brazil were guarded in their responses to the negative discourse regarding the Tri-Border Area, Argentina readily accepted the possibility of terrorists on its northeastern frontier. The project explains this behavior through examination of the influence of national identity on foreign policy. First utilizing the method of causal process tracing, the analysis demonstrates that Argentine national identity predominately accounts for Buenos Aires and the surrounding pampas. Consequently, this development created “negative spaces” within formal state boundaries. These areas are perceived as located outside of the sovereign and civilized state. Discourse analysis exhibits that the Tri-Border Area has traditionally been characterized as one such uncivilized space. Finally, reuse of discourse analysis reveals that American antiterrorism dialogue was particularly compatible with historical portrayal of the region. Therefore, Argentine
