Halliday Bibliography 1965-2011 Halliday Bibliography A list of the academic works of Professor Fred Halliday from 1965 to 2011 Halliday Bibliography A list of the academic works of Professor Fred Halliday from 1965 to 2011 Archives Division & Department of International Relations London School of Economics and Political Science 0 Halliday Bibliography A list of the academic works of Professor Fred Halliday from 1965 to 2011 Introduction This bibliographic project was instigated in 2011 to catalogue the works of the late Professor Fred Halliday with a view to compiling a complete list of all academic works produced during his life. It runs parallel to a second project – the Halliday Archive – the aim of which is to list and store Professor Halliday’s correspondence, personal effects and non-academic material. The aim of this document is to serve as a useful guide to the two projects for those who wish to locate any materials relating to Professor Halliday’s life and works. What is in the Archive? Professor Halliday’s Archive is located within the Archives Division of the LSE Library. It is a physical repository containing over 200 files of personal effects, correspondence, memoirs, unpublished texts and work documents which may be accessed in accordance with the rules and regulations of the LSE Archives (see http://www2.lse.ac.uk/library/archive/Home.aspx for more information). Particular files can be searched online using the Archives Catalogue (http://www.archives.lse.ac.uk ) but must be requested and viewed in person in the Archives Reading Room on the Lower Ground Floor of the LSE Library. What is in the Bibliography? The Bibliography has been funded by the LSE Department of International Relations in order to provide as complete a list as possible of English-language academic works by Professor Halliday. The Bibliography is a list rather than a repository. As such, there is no physical storage space attached to the project, and items in the list must be sought in both physical and online repositories. How to locate these materials is discussed below. The Bibliography is concerned with Halliday’s works whether published or unpublished. It therefore contains many works which were either (i) never published, (ii) published in a substantially-altered form, or (iii) published under a different name. The only case where unpublished material is not listed is when it has clearly been subsequently published in much the same format and with the same title. As a result, all draft material is located within the Archive, but only those draft materials mentioned above are also listed within the Bibliography. Although the Bibliography includes well over one thousand works there are three important limitations on the material included which should be noted. 1) The scope of the Bibliography has been limited to English-language materials. As Professor Halliday wrote many texts in German, Spanish and many other 1 Halliday Bibliography A list of the academic works of Professor Fred Halliday from 1965 to 2011 languages – and as his books have been widely translated – those seeking his foreign language publications will need to consult the Archive. 2) The Bibliography contains only academic works. Memoirs, media transcripts & videos, correspondence and other works of a more personal nature are not included. These can instead be located within the Archive. 3) All of the works contained within the Bibliography have been authored by Halliday, either alone or in conjunction with other scholars. Works about Halliday – for example, reviews of his books, articles on his work, and interview transcripts – are primarily located within the Archive. A final point worth noting is that it has been decided to stress breadth over depth in the construction of the Bibliography. As a result around a quarter of items in the list contain relatively little contextual information (e.g. dates, publication location etc.). This means that the Bibliography extends beyond the already well-known books and journal articles, but it does mean that for some items it will be difficult to establish information on the text itself. It is hoped, however, that this problem will be mitigated in three respects: (i) Firstly, those documents with little or no contextual information are stored within the Archive, meaning that the lack of information will not prevent readers from locating the text. (ii) Secondly, these texts have a reference number in the Archives (e.g. HALLIDAY/211) which can be used to reference the texts in academic works in the absence of complete information. (iii) Thirdly, it is envisaged that many academics and colleagues of Professor Halliday will know more about some of the texts than those compiling the list, and as such any additional information received can be incorporated into the Bibliography at a future date. (Information on mistakes or omissions should be emailed to: [email protected] ). How to use the Bibliography The Bibliography presented here is a hard-copy version of an online list located at http://eprints.lse.ac.uk . The list has been compiled utilising the LSE Research Online cataloguing software and all of Professor Halliday’s works have also now been deposited on their website. In order to see only the works of Professor Halliday online, one should select ‘Browse by LSE Author’ on the ePrints website to see the ‘Halliday, Fred’ option. The online version of the Bibliography contains a greater level of information on each text than the hard-copy version and provides additional guidance on locating copies of the referenced materials. To locate a specific work it is necessary to click on its title in the online version of the Bibliography. This will link to a page providing a greater level of detail than the simple reference, including abstracts, copyright information and details of the type of work. This page will also provide one of three different cues for locating the material itself: 2 Halliday Bibliography A list of the academic works of Professor Fred Halliday from 1965 to 2011 1) Published Item. Where the site displays this link the entire text is available to view online. Clicking on the link will bring up an online version of the text. In some cases an LSE or Athens account login may be required. The majority of recent journal articles by Professor Halliday are available online in this manner. 2) LSE Archives Catalogue. Where this link is displayed the item is available in the LSE Archive, located on the Lower Ground Floor of the LSE Library. The link leads to the specific file in the Archives Catalogue (http://archives.lse.ac.uk , see image below) which can then be requested. Items can be requested by any member of the LSE Library in accordance with the rules of the Archive but must not be removed from the Archives Reading Room. The majority of draft and unpublished works are located in the Archive, along with rarer examples of published work. 3) Full text not available from this repository. Where no link is given this is usually because the text is not available online but can be easily located elsewhere. This is the usual option for books, and for magazine and journal articles published before the late 1990s. If the material is located in the LSE Library it can be located using the Library Catalogue (see http://catalogue.lse.ac.uk ). Where the LSE Library does not hold the required item it is possible to search all libraries in the UK using COPAC (see http://www.copac.ac.uk ) to locate a copy. The libraries in London which are most likely to hold the material contained here are: Senate House Library, University of London; the Library of the School of Oriental and African Studies, and the British Library 3 Halliday Bibliography A list of the academic works of Professor Fred Halliday from 1965 to 2011 Acknowledgements The author of the Bibliography would like to take the time to thank those individuals whose help and support have ensured that the project could reach completion. Professor Halliday’s former research students Dr George Lawson (LSE) and Dr David Styan (Birkbeck) each gave many hours of their time to ensure that the project was running smoothly and provided much personal encouragement and useful information. Sue Donnelly and Anna Towlson (LSE Archives) both helped to ensure that the project would fit around day-to-day working activities and generously offered the use of office space in the Archives to undertake work and store material. Finally, Natalia Madjarevic (LSE Library) helpfully provided all the training and support necessary for working with the LSE Research Online software. To all of these individuals I owe a great deal of thanks!

  • Revolution in Afghanistan
    Fred Halliday Revolution in Afghanistan On 27 April 1978 the world heard that there had been a successful military coup in Afghanistan. The régime headed by Mohammad Daud, which had itself come to power through a coup in July 1973, had been suddenly overthrown by tanks and jet planes that struck in the Afghan capital, Kabul. At first it seemed as if this was yet another military intervention which, although violent and abrupt, involved no major shift in the policies, social character or international alignment of those in power: a change comparable to Daud’s own coup, or to others in neighbouring Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the Arab world. Yet within days it became clear that the announcements of radical change coming over Radio Kabul were more than just the ritual demagogy of military coups: something rather more substantial had occurred. In the first place, the coup, although carried out by the military, reflected much wider political forces. It had been preceded by mass popular demonstrations in Kabul, and as thousands of people flocked to inspect Daud’s conquered palace, 3 now renamed the House of the People, it became evident that it had ousted a hated régime and at least temporarily embodied the hopes of a wide section of the population. At the same time it became clear that the coup was not just the product of a conspiracy within the military, but had been carried out on the instructions of an underground Marxist political organization whose membership was overwhelmingly civilian. This at once distinguished the new rulers from other radical military régimes in the Arab world, South Asia or Ethiopia.

  • The Chimera of the 'International University'
    The chimera of the ‘International University’ FRED HALLIDAY No one who teaches in a British university can be unaware of the pressure to become more ‘internationally’ aware: encouragement to admit more overseas (i.e. non-EU) students is accompanied by calls for increased international competitiveness and assessment, and by the announcement of new courses, on a range of topics, that have ‘international’ in their title. The term ‘international’ covers, however, a variety of issues and meanings. It is at once a spur and a sales gimmick, an appeal that issues as easily from the mouth of the financial manager as from the lips of the cosmopolitan scholar. It may be time to question this fetish, not least for fear that an unconsidered pursuit of the international can lead to a less, rather than a more, effective international contribution. Exchange of ideas, and academic cultures, rests more on specialization, a division of labour, than on a pursuit of modish homogeneities. An internationalized crisis The debate on the international character of universities has been transformed in the s by a set of changes in context and direction. Anyone reading the education press will be familiar with the term: ‘world-class’ status, ‘global’ campuses, plans for worldwide distance learning and so forth. The Economist has speculated on the university of the future, with a restricted physical campus and a network of computer-linked outlets and students—a ‘virtual’ or ‘cyber-university’ or, as it engagingly entitled it, ‘core-and-cloud’. Other universities are exploring the implications of technology for this new, internationalized, teaching.

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.

  • Democracy Promotion, National Security and Strategy During the Reagan Administration 1981-1986
    DEMOCRACY PROMOTION, NATIONAL SECURITY AND STRATEGY DURING THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION 1981-1986 BY ROBERT EDWARD PEE A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of American and Canadian Studies School of English, Drama and American & Canadian Studies University of Birmingham September 2013 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship of democracy promotion to national security in US strategy through an examination of the influence of geopolitical, bureaucratic and organisational considerations on the effort to create a coherent strategic approach fusing democracy promotion and national security under the Reagan administration. This process highlighted geopolitical and organisational tensions between democracy promotion and US national security. Groups within the administration, Congress and the private sphere disagreed over whether US geopolitical interests required the limited deployment of democracy promotion against Soviet Communism or a more expansive effort aimed at both Communist and pro-US dictatorships. These debates were linked to clashes over the credibility and effectiveness of competing state-centred or privately-implemented organisational frameworks.

When a small faction of Afghan communists overthrew the government of Mohammed Daoud Khan and replaced him with Nur Muhammad Taraki on April 30, 1978, the United States and the Soviet Union embarked on a path of mutual suspicion and lack of trust that led to an American involvement in Afghanistan that is ongoing – forty years later. As the architect of the American response from its very beginning, Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor, bears responsibility for much of what happened.

Pach This work traces the history of the American Committee on East-West Accord and its efforts to promote policies of reduced tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s. This organization of elite Americans attempted to demonstrate that there was support for policies of U.S.-Soviet accommodation and sought to discredit its opponents, especially the Committee on the Present Danger. This work argues that the Committee, although largely failing to achieve its goals, illustrates the wide-reaching nature of the debate on U.S.-Soviet relations during this period, and also demonstrates the enduring elements of the U.S.-Soviet détente of the early 1970s.

  • ASPECTS of SOUTH YEMEN's FOREIGN POLICY L967-L982 by Fred Halliday Department of International History London School of Economic
    ASPECTS OF SOUTH YEMEN'S FOREIGN POLICY L967-L982 by Fred Halliday Department of International History London School of Economics and Political Science University of London Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 1985 Thesis Abstract This study analyses the foreign relations of South Yemen (since 1970 the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen) from independence in 1967 until 1982. It covers the first four Presidencies of the post- independence period, with their attendant policy changes, and ends with the resolution of two of the more pressing foreign policy conflicts with which South Yemen was concerned, its support for the guerrillas in North Yemen, who were defeated in the spring of 1982, and its conflict with the Sultanate of Oman, with whom diplomatic relations were concluded in October 1982. Chapter One provides an outline of the background to South Yemen's foreign policy: the outcome of the independence movement itself and the resultant foreign policy orientations of the new government; the independence negotiations with Britain; and the manner in which, in the post-independence period, the ruling National Front sought to determine and develop its foreign policy. The remaining four chapters focus upon specific aspects of South Yemen's foreign policy that are, it is argued, of central importance. Chapter Two discusses relations with the West - with Britain, France, West Germany and the USA. It charts the pattern of continued economic ties with western European states, and the several political disputes which South Yemen had with them. Chapter Three discusses the issue of 'Yemeni Unity' - the reasons for the continued commitment to this goal, the policy of simultaneously supporting opposition in North Yemen and negotiating with the government there, and the course of policy on creating a unified Yemeni state.

It rejects the conventional conceptual and temporal understanding of the Cold War, which assumes that the Cold War was, essentially, a political-military conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union that originated in the collapse of the wartime alliance after 1945. Using a method derived from historical materialism, in particular the parcellization of political power into the spheres of ‘politics’ and ‘economics’ that characterises capitalist modernity, the thesis develops an alternative understanding of the Cold War through an emphasis on the historical and thus conceptual uniqueness of it.

This thesis attempts to shed light on this issue. It explores the weaknesses in the pre-existing literature and recommends a new approach and mechanism on how revolutions cause international tension. Through the study, a revamped definition and categorization of revolution is offered for a better understanding of the revolution. The proposition is that revolutions that affect the balance of threat significantly or have social revolution characteristics, and inflict considerable misery to a country are likely to generate significant tension with other countries and, ultimately, war. Sixty revolutions are examined both quantitatively (by an OLS regression) and qualitatively to test the hypothesis.
