The main argument of this work is that the partnership between the Christian Democratic Party of Chile (PDC) and the United States in this period played a significant role in shaping Chilean politics and thus contributed to its growing polarization. The alliance between the PDC and the United States was based as much on their common views on communism as on their shared ideas about modernization and economic development. Furthermore, the U.S. Embassy in Santiago, headed by men strongly committed to the success of the Christian Democratic project, involved itself heavily in the inner workings of Chilean politics as an informal actor, unable to dictate terms but capable of exerting influence on local actors whose interests converged with those of the United States.

KNOBLAUCH has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by __________________________________ Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History __________________________________ Howard Dewald Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KNOBLAUCH, WILLIAM M., Ph.D., March 2012, History Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach This dissertation examines how 1980s antinuclear activists utilized popular culture to criticize the Reagan administration’s arms buildup. The 1970s and the era of détente marked a decade-long nadir for American antinuclear activism. Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1981 helped to usher in the “Second Cold War,” a period of reignited Cold War animosities that rekindled atomic anxiety. As the arms race escalated, antinuclear activism surged. Alongside grassroots movements, such as the nuclear freeze campaign, a unique group of antinuclear activists—including publishers, authors, directors, musicians, scientists, and celebrities—challenged Reagan’s military buildup in American mass media and popular culture. These activists included Fate of the Earth author Jonathan Schell, Day After director Nicholas Meyer, and “nuclear winter” scientific-spokesperson Carl Sagan.

CAREY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2014 1 © 2014 Roger E. Carey 2 This dissertation is dedicated to Coralyn, with great love. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To paraphrase some PBS programs, this dissertation was made possible by the contributions of many people over the past several years. The work here is mine, and mine alone, along with any errors of fact or judgment. To the extent that this study represents an original contribution to historical knowledge, several individuals and groups supported me during my research and writing. I want to begin by thanking my dissertation advisor, Matthew F. Jacobs. He has been a constant source of encouragement and advice, putting up with my slow pace and challenging me to think more closely and more deeply about what I was trying to argue. At each step of the process, his sage advice and direction have guided my efforts to write the best work I could generate. I also am grateful for the contributions of my committee, William A. Link, Frederick Gregory, Ido Oren, and Norman J.W. Goda, and my original advisor, Robert McMahon (now at Ohio State University). Finally, I owe a debt to Joseph “Andy” Fry, my M.A. advisor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, who started me on the road of historical inquiry. My research for this project was greatly facilitated by two grants: a Moody Grant from the LBJ Foundation at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum in Austin, TX, and a Milbauer Grant-in-Aid from the Milbauer Program in Southern History at the University of Florida.

Anslover Abstract This article examines how the global and domestic perceptions of Richard Nixon have evolved between his time in office and 2016. One of the main themes of this study is how the Watergate scandal and Nixon’s resignation impacted the American political scene. Using scholarly works as well as contemporary media sources as a basis for analysis, I argue that Nixon’s legacy is as complicated as his presidency. In the United States, Nixon is still viewed as a political villain who placed a stain on the American political process. However, in other countries, such as China, Nixon is viewed as a tremendously successful president. This study seeks to explain why the global perception of Nixon and his presidency is still so contentious. Keywords Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Media, Watergate, China Geçmişte ve Günümüzde Nixon: Değişen Algılar Özet Bu makale, başkanlık döneminden 2016 yılına kadar Amerika’da ve dünyada değişen Richard Nixon algısını incelemektedir. Çalışmanın ana temalarında biri, Watergate Skandalı ve Nixon’ın istifasının 11 Nicole L. Anslover Amerikan politik sahnesinde yarattığı etkidir. Akademik çalışmalar ve güncel medya kaynaklarını bu analizin dayanağı olarak kullanan bu çalışma, Nixon’ın siyasi mirasının başkanlık dönemi kadar karmaşık olduğunu savunur. Bugün Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde Nixon halen Amerikan’ın politik işleyişine leke sürmüş siyasi bir hain olarak gösterilir. Buna rağmen, Çin gibi başka ülkelerde, son derece başarılı bir başkan olarak görülür.

In Memoriam Benjamin Bradlee by Marlyn Rodriguez Introduction Benjamin “Ben” Crowinshield Bradlee, an icon in the journalistic world, died at the age of 93 on October 21, 2014.1 Bradlee was known for his work as executive editor for The Washington Post during the release of the Pentagon Papers and the Watergate scandal that led to President Robert Nixon’s resignation, the first presidential resignation in United States history. His efforts not only led to the resignation of Nixon, he inspired journalists to seek the truth. In 1971, Bradlee published the Pentagon Papers, a confidential government report on the Vietnam War detailing how the American government “lied to the American public about the Vietnam War.”2 These lies included denying responsibility for bombing missions during the war and the actual amount of American deaths on the battlefield.3 The New York Times was the first to publish the Pentagon Papers, but stopped after being legally urged to withhold the information by the Justice Department due to 1 Eric Bradner.

  • Evaluating Presidential Success in the Modern Era
    Evaluating Presidential Success in the Modern Era A Senior Honors Thesis presented for graduation with research distinction in Political Science by Anthony Pizzonia Shaskus The Ohio State University May 2008 Project Advisor: Professor Lawrence Baum, Department 1 All presidents have been successful politicians at some time during their political career; yet all presidents have not been successful. This work seeks to understand why presidents have, and have not, been able to carry their success from previous roles into their role as president of the United States. I am interested in answering a simple question: What makes a president successful? To answer this question I consulted with established political scientists, who directed me to a body of scholarship dedicated to the presidency. I studied these materials in the hopes of deriving a formula for presidential success. In addition to researching into presidential theory, I also embarked upon a review of the presidents during the Modern Era. By analyzing the presidents’ accomplishments and failures, while simultaneously conducting research on the different theories of presidential success, I was able to develop a framework for my theory that made use of the most compelling arguments. I selected four presidents for the purposes of my research, and evaluated them against the theory I developed. In my preliminary research on the presidency, four scholars were constantly cited in articles and books about the presidency: James David Barber, Richard Neustadt, Clinton Rossiter, and Aaron Wildavsky. Though each of these individuals offers important contributions to the scholarship about the presidency, which I have used to develop my thesis, I have elected to not include Aaron Wildavsky’s notable work The Two Presidencies.

Hatfield May 2013 © 2013 Jeremy R. Hatfield. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled For God and Country: The Religious Right, The Reagan Administration, and the Cold War by JEREMY R. HATFIELD has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach, Jr. Associate Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT HATFIELD, JEREMY R., Ph.D., May 2013, History For God and Country: The Religious Right, the Reagan Administration, and the Cold War Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach, Jr. In the late 1970s, a number of prominent evangelical ministers decided to become actively involved in American politics. Dubbed the New Christian Right by some, the Religious Right or the Christian Right by others, these figures immediately became very vocal about the need to restore morality to American society and to insure that the United States retained its position as a preeminent military power in the world. This dissertation examines the Religious Right’s activism in matters of American foreign policy from the late 1970s through the end of the Cold War. It illuminates the underlying theological and political beliefs that characterized the Religious Right’s politics, and explains how the Religious Right became politicized. It also demonstrates that foreign affairs played a more prominent role in the activism of the Religious Right than many historians have realized.

  • Environmental Injustice in Massachusetts: the COVID-19 Pandemic, Air Pollution, and Other Correlating Factors
    Environmental Injustice in Massachusetts: The COVID-19 Pandemic, Air Pollution, and Other Correlating Factors A Senior Thesis by Elizabeth Allen A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Major of Environmental Studies Boston College 1 Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences May 2021 © Copyright 2021 Elizabeth Allen 2 Environmental Injustice: The COVID-19 Pandemic, Air Pollution, and Other Correlating Factors in Massachusetts Elizabeth Allen Faculty Mentor: Yasmin Zaerpoor, Ph.D. The Coronavirus pandemic has cast a new light on the intersection of environmental justice and public health, as communities of color and low-income communities have experienced greater rates of infection and mortality due to the Covid-19 pandemic. These inequalities can be attributed to a multitude of injustices. I investigate the impact that air pollution has had on COVID-19 incidence within Massachusetts, while also investigating other possible correlating factors. I use a regression model to consider the impact of air pollution, population density, race, income, age, and education on COVID-19 positivity rates in Massachusetts. In this study, I found that air pollution, population density, and the percentage of Hispanic population in a given community were all statistically significant in a linear regression model. Further research would be needed to investigate whether the coefficient on Hispanic population is conclusive. It is possible that the significant coefficient is picking up variables that are not included in this regression, namely the percentage of essential workers or access to healthcare. 3 AKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to give an enormous thank you to Professor Yasmin Zaerpoor, who was there with me every step of the way in the brainstorming, writing, and editing of this work.
