  • Winter 2014.Indd
    Oviatt Friends A Glance Back at Social Protest he President of the United States was in town for a fundraiser. Opposition to the Vietnam War was Tat a fever pitch. Th e LAPD was determined to protect the President and, maybe not incidentally, its own reputation. As these strands of social fabric spooled out, a peaceful protest turned violent, scores of protestors were bloodied or arrested, the LAPD got a black eye, and U.S. political history underwent a profound shift. It happened in Century City on June 23, 1967, near the Century Plaza Hotel. Th e next day the Los Angeles Times’ headline virtually shouted at its reader: 10,000 IN MELEE: War Protest Mars LBJ Visit. And 46 years later, on Sept. 17, 2013, three disparate participants in that “melee” off ered their recollections of that night’s events at the offi cial opening of the Oviatt Library’s newest exhibition—In Protest: Th e Shifting Paradigms of Collective Social Action. Irving Sarnoff , an organizer of that long-ago anti- war protest, a lifelong political activist and an avowed peacenik, spoke fi rst. Th e protestors’ numbers, he said, were projected to max out at about 2,000, but unexpectedly ballooned to an estimated 10,000. Initially, the march was peaceful, if noisy, with sign-waving picketers repeatedly chanting “Hey! Hey! LBJ! How many kids have you killed today?” Th e Peace Action Council, an affi liation of 80 to 100 organizations, Sarnoff remarked, “…had a permit to conduct a peaceful march,” but a small cohort of marchers, “…part of the pacifi st movement,” staged an unplanned sit-down as the dissenters approached the hotel.

  • Assessing the Europeanisation of Portuguese Foreign and Security Policy
    Assessing the Europeanisation of Portuguese Foreign and Security Policy Steven Robinson Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Geography, Politics and Sociology Newcastle University March 2013 Abstract This thesis examines how Portuguese foreign policy is constructed, drawing upon qualitative data gathered from interviews with policy-making elites and official documentation. It assesses the extent to which Portugal’s accession to the European Community in 1986 has resulted in a transformation of the domestic policy-making structures, and how this has impacted Portuguese foreign policy, by building upon sociological institutionalist accounts of how European integration has shaped aspects of national identity and the construction of national foreign policy roles. Through increased familiarity with the EU and elite socialisation, Portuguese foreign policy- making processes have become increasingly mindful of the European context. However, in terms of policy outputs, the Lusophone world and NATO remain key areas of interest for Portugal. The Europeanisation of Portuguese foreign policy is, therefore, limited. While Member States shape, and are shaped by, EU policies, the transformative effects of the EU on national foreign policies are restricted, as the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy reflect more of a patchwork of different national foreign policy priorities interacting in an intergovernmental framework. While common interests and norms of behaviour have emerged, these are not necessarily a consequence of EU membership and Europeanisation processes. For example, NATO’s role in the internationalisation and multilateralisation of Portuguese foreign and security policy was significant. Contemporary Portuguese foreign policy operates in an internationalised, multilateral context.
