When did you come to the U.S.? What are some of your academic and teach- ing interests? I was born and grew up in L’viv—a city in Western Ukraine that played a major role in the Ukrainian cultural revival in the late Soviet era and eventually in the move- ment for Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union. In those early years of independence, I participated in a student exchange program called FLEX (Future Leaders Exchange Program) sponsored by the US State Depart- ment in an effort to build better relationships with the former Soviet republics. This program brought me to the United States for the first time: for ten months I lived with an American host family and studied at a public high school. In many ways, this program determined book project based on my dissertation. I also hope to my future path in life—upon my return to L’viv, I chose have a chance to teach a course on contemporary Slavic to major in English and English-Ukrainian translation at women’s writing sometime in the future. the university, and in the early 2000s I decided to return Besides literature, I also have strong research and to the United States for graduate work in languages and teaching interests in second language studies and Slavic literature.

Ricci, Ph.D. University of Connecticut 2014 ABSTRACT The primary focus of this study is to explain presidential decision making, specifically whether to intervene militarily or not in a given circumstance in the Post-Cold War era. First, we define military intervention as the deployment of troops and weaponry in active military engagement (not peacekeeping). The cases in which we are interested involve the actual or intended use of force (“boots on the ground”), in other words, not drone attacks or missile strikes. Thus, we substantially reduce the number of potential cases by excluding several limited uses of force against Iraq, Sudan, and Afghanistan in the 1990s. Given the absence of a countervailing force or major power to serve as deterrent, such as the Soviet enemy in the Cold War period, there are potentially two types of military interventions: (1) humanitarian intervention designed to stop potential genocide and other atrocities and (2) the pre-emptive reaction to terrorism or other threats, such as under the Bush Doctrine.

  • Revolution @State: the Spread of Ediplomacy
    M arch 2012 ANALYSIS FERGUS HANSON Revolution @State: Fergus is currently seconded to the Brookings Institution as a Visiting The Spread of Ediplomacy Fellow in Ediplomacy. He is also a Research Fellow and Director of Polling at the Lowy Institute. Tel: +1 202 238 3526 E xecutive summary [email protected] The US State Department has become the world’s leading user of ediplomacy. Ediplomacy now employs over 150 full-time personnel working in 25 different ediplomacy nodes at Headquarters. More than 900 people use it at US missions abroad. Ediplomacy is now used across eight different program areas at State: Knowledge Management, Public Diplomacy and Internet Freedom dominate in terms of staffing and resources. However, it is also being used for Information Management, Consular, Disaster Response, harnessing External Resources and Policy Planning. In some areas ediplomacy is changing the way State does business. In Public Diplomacy, State now operates what is effectively a global media empire, reaching a larger direct audience than the paid circulation of the ten largest US dailies and employing an army of diplomat-journalists to feed its 600-plus platforms. In other areas, like Knowledge Management, ediplomacy is finding solutions to problems that have plagued foreign ministries for centuries. The slow pace of adaptation to ediplomacy by many foreign ministries LOWY INSTITUTE FOR suggests there is a degree of uncertainty over what ediplomacy is all INTERNATIONAL POLICY about, what it can do and how pervasive its influence is going to be. 31 Bligh Street This report – the result of a four-month research project in Washington Sydney NSW 2000 DC – should help provide those answers.
