Executive Intelligence Review, Volume 20, Number 20, May 21, 1993 The Civil War And the American System tells the truth-for the first time-about the "Civil War," which was in fact the battle between the American System of economics and the British system of free trade. Today the heirs of Adam Smith and the British Empire are pressing for worldwide "free trade," a system which led to slavery in the 19th century, and is doing so again today. Utilizing a rich selection of primary-source documents, Salisbqry reintroduces the forgotten men of the Civil War-era battle for the American System: Mathew Carey, Henry Carey, William Kelley, William Elder, and Stephen Colwell. Together with Abraham Lincoln, they demanded industrial-technological progress, against the ideological subversion of British "free trade" economists and the British-dominated Confederacy.

Bush’s administration, relations between Washington and Moscow are back to the point where they started, the Cold War. Public debate has clear ideas about where to attribute the blame: to Putinism with its emphasis on an authoritar- ian and interventionist state and the overweening self-confidence of the energy bully, on the one hand, and to Bushism with its militarized endeavours to mould a world in its own democratic image, on the other. However both these represent an inadequate simplifica- tion of the actual complexity, which does not sufficiently take into account the vacillations of the Bush administration, swinging between the realism of Bush’s father and the liberal internationalism of his predecessor turned neo-conservative, or the interaction between Washington and Moscow. This swing towards emphasizing democratic values may well make the increasing es- trangement appear more plausible. But in actual fact Bush’s policy towards Moscow, just as Clinton’s before him, consisted of a contradictory and changeable amalgam of values and interests. The most obvious constant feature in the Bush administration, in contrast to Clinton’s, is the malign neglect of Russia.

The title of this book is Super Illusions: How Myths and False Ideologies Led America Astray—and How to Return to Reality . One of the most important events of the second half of the 20 th century occurred when the Soviet Union collapsed in December 1991. Although reactions to the events and interpretations about the actual demise of the Soviet Union have been analyzed in profoundly different ways, one thing is clear: the breakup of the Soviet Union ushered in a new era of international politics.

  • ORDER ENFORCEMENT in INTERNATIONAL POLITICS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirem
    HOW GREAT POWERS RULE: ORDER ENFORCEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yoav Gortzak, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Randall L. Schweller, Adviser Professor Richard K. Herrmann _______________________ Professor Alexander Thompson Adviser Graduate Program in Political Science ABSTRACT The problem of international order stands at the heart of the study of international relations. Thus far, however, it has been portrayed primarily as a problem of emanating from the interactions among the most powerful states in the international system. Scholars of international relations have paid little attention to another dimension of this problem, that is, how dominant states impose their desired international order on weaker but recalcitrant states. Despite a scholarly consensus that hegemony is exercised primarily through the use of coercion and positive inducements, IR scholars have devoted little attention to how dominant states choose between these influence tools to impose their desired international order upon weak but recalcitrant states. This dissertation addresses this gap in the international relations literature by exploring the determinants of such choices. In doing so, it argues that in contrast to the commonly held view in the field, the interactions between the powerful and weak in the international system cannot simply be understood in terms of coercive capabilities, reputational considerations, or the domestic political costs and benefits facing policymakers of dominant states. Instead, this study argues that the conventional wisdom does not take sufficient account of the role of social conventions, such as norms and identities, in international order enforcement.
