Kissinger's Year of Europe initiative (1973/74) and the associated proposal, originally for a new Atlantic Charter and later for a less far-reaching declaration of principles, was an American attempt to inspire an explicit restatement of Alliance obligations. The intention was to take ac­ count of changes in the Atlantic relationship consequent upon EEC enlargement, economic pressures, and a dwindling of US domestic support for commitments to Europe at a time of detente with the USSR and the Watergate debacle. But the prob­ lems which the US sought to resolve were exacerbated by events, by different priori­ ties in Europe, and by the attitude of France, which chose to interpret American proposals as a diplomatic offensive rather than an attempt to address Alliance prob­ lems. Closer US-Soviet relations, the eclipse of European interests during the 1973 Middle East war, and different approaches to the energy crisis created real tension between the allies. It increased - temporarily - the rival attractions of greater European cooperation before leading to recriminations within the Nine members of the EEC and eventual French isolation in the face of Paris's continued hostility to Kissinger's pre­ scription for renewed cooperation. This thesis re-evaluates these events. It looks at the background to 1973 and the prevailing wisdom on such concepts as Atlantic partnership and interdependence. It examines the view that the US initiative was misinterpreted because of unwillingness to jeopardise newly-established European objectives for greater cooperation. It describes how the difficulties were resolved by enhancing - albeit only marginally - the impor­ tance of consultation within the Alliance and permitting a degree of US influence within European political cooperation on issues affecting US interests. Finally, it touches on possible comparisons with the early 1990s. 3 4 Contents Chapter 1: Introduction 9 A chronology of the Year of Europe 9 The importance of 1973 11 Chapter 2: Competing concepts of Atlantic cooperation 17 Alliance orthodoxy up to 1973 17 Atlantic Community and partnership 18 Kissinger and the American approach 24 Kissinger's diplomatic style 30 Kissinger and Europe 31 Kissinger's approach to NATO and the Nine 34 The problems of interdependence 39 Alliance management: the issues in 1973 45 The particular problem of detente 49 The central role of the Alliance 52 Chapter 3: Opening diplomatic moves: a model of Alliance mismanagement 63 Origins of the Year of Europe 63 Thinking in Europe 65 French policy and initial French views 67 Preparing the ground 73 Lack of consultation: the British experience 75 The US proposals: Kissinger and Nixon set the agenda 79 Initial reactions 84 Reykjavik summit, 31 May - 1 June 89 Conclusions of the first few weeks 91 The Nine foreign ministers meet in Copenhagen, 23 July 95 The Nine's declaration: September 1973 97 Discussion of the US-Nine and NATO declaration begins 100 End-of-year prospects 103 Chapter 4: Trade and monetary negotiations 110 A snapshot of 1973 110 The background to trade relations in 1973 111 Monetary turmoil: the end of the December 1971 Smithsonian Agreement 115 The new realities of monetary cooperation 117 Trade: the consequences of enlargement: Article 24(6) and GATT 120 Resolution of the compensation talks 124 5 The multilateral GATT round: the US domestic context 125 The EEC's response to US pressure 128 Strains in international agricultural trade 132 Problems with soya 134 Monetary reform 136 The Committee of Twenty's report 139 Conclusions 141 Chapter 5: Relative security and insecurity: intra-Alliance and East-West negotiations during the Year of Europe 150 Congressional pressure to reduce troops in Europe 151 Offset payments and the Jackson-Nunn amendment 154 Europe between the superpowers 157 Divisions inside NATO on MBFR and CSCE 158 European suspicions confirmed: the Washington summit, June 1973 162 European reactions 164 The Alliance and the Middle East 168 Anglo-American tension during the Middle East war 172 The American nuclear alert 173 Europe's complaints over lack of consultation 176 Diplomatic moves: European exclusion from the peace process 178 The French response to possible superpower condominium 181 Chapter 6: Energy, the Arabs, and the Alliance 195 Europe, the US, and the origins of disorganisation 197 Weakness exposed: the Alliance and the crisis after October 1973 200 Foreign ministers' meeting, 5-6 November: the Nine's statement on the Middle East 201 Efforts toward Community cooperation 204 The Dutch and the oil companies 205 The Copenhagen summit 206 US pressure: Kissinger rebuffed 209 Arab pressure: Kissinger rebuffed 212 National responses to the situation 213 Preparations for the Washington conference 216 Concerting a European position 218 The Washington energy conference 221 Implications of Community divisions 223 The Euro-Arab dialogue and the IEA: coexistence and cooperation 226 Chapter 7: Diplomatic moves: crisis and end-game 235 The dialogue under threat: Kissinger's speech to the Pilgrims, 12 December 236 The European identity 239 French motives under scrutiny 240 Euro-Arab dialogue: the end of the US-Nine declaration 242 6 Rhetorical acerbity increases 247 A period of conciliation 250 The way forward on consultation 252 French influence weakened: a UK-German axis emerges 256 Schloss Gymnich, April and June 1974: US-Nine consultation resolved 260 Brandt's departure: prospects improve further 263 Drafting re-commences: conclusion of the NATO declaration 265 The Ottawa declaration 267 The Brussels summit: the final act 271 Chapter 8: Comparisons and reflections 280 The Year of Europe: a balance sheet 280 The Alliance then and now 284 NATO and EC consultation 287 The Baker initiative, December 1989 289 The Transatlantic declaration 292 Envoi 295 Bibliography 300 7 8 Chapter 1 Introduction The Atlantic Alliance in the early 1970s was widely assumed to be in real crisis as a result of a breakdown of shared perceptions on economic, security and political interests. There was a temptation, with good reason, for the US to attribute much of this to the greater assertiveness of the the nine members of the European Economic Community ("the Nine") following enlargement, and for the Nine to blame a continu­ ing American tendency to interfere in matters of European concern. Clarifying Al­ liance and EEC obligations in security, foreign policy and trade issues was the purpose of the Year of Europe initiative put by Henry Kissinger, the US national security adviser, to a dubious Nine and an apprehensive Alliance early in 1973. The problems created as a result make 1973 historically important in its own right as well as for what it tells us about the overall management of US-European relations and the differences between how those relations were and are handled in the respective frameworks of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and US-EEC/Nine relations. This thesis reviews those events and examines the progress of the US initiative in revising Alliance relationships so as to reflect the changed international environment. The thesis places the debates of 1973 into a theoretical context initially, and then examines the issues on the Atlantic agenda throughout the Year of Europe. It looks at the trade, monetary, energy and security/political issues which dominated the Alliance agenda in the 18 months of the Kissinger initiative with a view to assessing the seri­ ousness of the crisis and the degree to which the resolution of specific problems con­ tributed to a stronger overall Alliance relationship. A chronology of the Year of Europe In a chronological view of the events of 1973/74, four discrete phases emerge: 1) the initial phase when the US administration's intentions toward Europe were first 9 Chapter 1 declared in Kissinger's speech in New York in April 1973, which articulated the meaning of the Year of Europe and the need for a new Atlantic Charter. There were a number of false starts, notably President Nixon's announcement in January 1973 that, despite earlier suggestions of intent, he would not be visiting European capitals in the first half of 1973; 2) the period from April to September 1973 when foreign ministers of the Nine decid­ ed in Copenhagen to formulate their own response in the light of the Community's institutional and political difficulties with American proposals. European uneasiness became clear, and tensions and irritation were growing between Europe and the US; 3) the period October 1973 to

Science and Diplomacy: The Past as Prologue Vaughan C. Turekian and Norman P. Neureiter HIS past December marked twenty years since the dissolution of the Soviet TUnion quietly and peacefully ended the Cold War. While that era saw the Cuban Missile Crisis, proxy wars, and policies of mutual assured destruction, it was also a period when people on both sides of the conflict looked for ways to bridge differences and increase the chances for peace and resolution. In a 1985 address to the nation days before meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev for the first time, President Ronald Reagan stated “We can find, as yet undiscovered, avenues where American and Soviet citizens can cooperate fruitfully for the benefit of mankind . In science and technology, we could launch new joint space ventures and establish joint medical research projects.” Two years later, John Negroponte, the President’s Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES), further articulated the Administration’s view during congressional testimony: “It would be short-sighted of us not to recognize that it is in our national interest to seek to expand scientific cooperation with the Soviet Union.” In many ways, the Cold War was a time of highly effective use of science diplomacy to build bridges and connections despite the existence of great political tensions.

Want de hoofdstad van België is tevens de zetel van de voornaamste Europese instellingen. Feitelijk is Brussel de ongekroonde hoofdstad van de Europese superstaat. Hier komt de wetgeving vandaan waaraan in de vijftien lidstaten van de Europese Unie niets meer kan worden veranderd. Dat is wennen voor de nationale hoofdsteden en regeringscentra als het Binnenhof in Den Haag. Het spel om de macht speelt zich immers niet langer uitsluitend af in de vertrouwde omgeving van de Ridderzaal. Het is verschoven naar Brussel.

The most significant historical events are usually associated in our minds with the images of the people who were directly involved and who were in charge of the most crucial decisions at that particular moment in time. Thus, analyzing the American Civil War, we always mention the great role and the achievements of Abraham Lincoln as the president of the United States. We cannot forget about the actions of such charismatic leaders as Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Winston Churchill, and Franklin D. Roosevelt when we think about the brutal events and the outcome of the World War II. Or, for example, the Cuban Missile Crisis and its peaceful solution went down in history highlighting roles of John F.

  • Journal of European Integration History Revue D
    JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION HISTORY REVUE D’HISTOIRE DE L’INTÉGRATION EUROPÉENNE ZEITSCHRIFT FÜR GESCHICHTE DER EUROPÄISCHEN INTEGRATION edited by the Groupe de liaison des professeurs d’histoire contemporaine auprès de la Commission européenne 2003, Volume 9, Number 2 The Hague Summit of 1969 The Liaison Committee of Historians came into being in 1982 as a result of an important international symposium that the Commission had organized in Luxembourg to launch historical research on Euro- pean integration. The committee is composed of historians of the European Union member countries who work on contemporary history. The Liaison Committee: – gathers and conveys information about work on European history after the Second World War; – advises the European Union on research projects concerning contemporary European history. Thus, the Liaison Committee was commissioned to make publicly available the archives of the Community institutions; – enables researchers to make better use of the archival sources; – promotes research meetings to get an update of work in progress and to stimulate new research: seven research conferences have been organized and their proceedings published. The Journal of European Integration History – Revue d’histoire de l’intégration européenne – Zeitschrift für Geschichte der europäischen Integration is in line with the preoccupations of the Liaison Committee. Being the first history journal to deal exclusively with the history of European Integration, the Journal offers the increasing number of young historians devoting their research to contemporary Europe, a permanent forum. The Liaison Committee is supported by the European Commission, but works completely independ- ently and according to historians’ critical method. ❋ Le Groupe de liaison des professeurs d’histoire contemporaine auprès de la Commission des Communautés européennes s’est constitué en 1982 à la suite d’un grand colloque que la Commis- sion avait organisé à Luxembourg pour lancer la recherche historique sur la construction européenne.

  • 1 the Great Communicator and the Beginning of the End of the Cold War1 by Ambassador Eric S. Edelman President Ronald Reagan Is
    The Great Communicator and the Beginning of the End of the Cold War1 By Ambassador Eric S. Edelman President Ronald Reagan is known as the “Great Communicator,” a soubriquet that was awarded to him by New York Times columnist Russell Baker, and which stuck despite Reagan’s disclaimer in his farewell address that he “wasn’t a great communicator” but that he had “communicated great things.” The ideas which animated Reagan’s vision were given voice in a series of extraordinary speeches, many of them justly renowned. Among them are his “Time for Choosing” speech in 1964, his “Shining City on a Hill” speech to CPAC in 1974, his spontaneous remarks at the conclusion of the Republican National Convention in 1976 and, of course, his memorable speeches as President of the United States. These include his “Evil Empire” speech to the National Association of Evangelicals, his remarks at Westminster in 1982, his elegiac comments commemorating the 40th anniversary of the D-Day invasion and mourning the Challenger disaster, and his Berlin speech exhorting Mikhail Gorbachev to “Tear Down this Wall” in 1987, which Time Magazine suggested was one of the 10 greatest speeches of all time.2 Curiously, Reagan’s address to the students of Moscow State University during the 1988 Summit with Mikhail Gorbachev draws considerably less attention today despite the fact that even normally harsh Reagan critics hailed the speech at the time and have continued to cite it subsequently. The New York Times, for instance, described the speech as “Reagan’s finest oratorical hour” and Princeton’s liberal historian Sean Wilentz has called it “the symbolic high point of Reagan’s visit….
