  • National Drug Control Strategy
    National Drug Control Strategy Progress in the War on Drugs January 1993 The White House INTRODUCTION On September 5, 1989, President Bush delivered his first major televised address to the Nation. The subject was illicit drugs, which the President called "the gravest threat facing our Nation today." When the President said that drugs were "sapping our strength as a Nation," Americans knew it to be true. Every major public opinion poll showed that by a wide margin Americans regarded the drug epidemic as the Nation's most serious problem. One pollster even marveled that a domestic issue - fear of drugs - had replaced fear of war as the greatest concern of Americans. Four years ago our drug problem was, in a word, terrible. More than 14 million Americans were current, active users of such dangerous drugs as heroin, cocaine, marijuana, and LSD. Nearly 2 million adolescents were using drugs. Our children, even the very young, were being harassed by drug dealers in and out of school. Americans were spending about $50 billion annually to purchase drugs. The drug epidemic was fueled by unprecedented quantities of cocaine flooding across our borders, bringing ever-lower street prices that inevitably seduced new users. Abroad, narco-terrorists in Colombia were on the verge of bringing one of Latin America's oldest democracies to its knees with the brutal murders of a Presidential candidate and some 200 judges, including seven supreme court justices. Throughout most of the 1980s, the Nation's response to the drug threat had been vigorous and well-intentioned, but it was not always well coordinated.

Paulauskas A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Donald J. Raleigh Reader: David Griffiths Reader: Chad Bryant ABSTRACT MICHAEL V. PAULAUSKAS: A Personal Affair: Diplomatic Negotiations and the Portrayal of Détente in Pravda, 1972-75 (Under the direction of Donald J. Raleigh) This thesis explores how diplomatic relations between the US and the USSR changed during détente , specifically concentrating on the period between the 1972 Moscow Summit and the enactment of the Jackson-Vanik Amendment to the 1974 Trade Bill . I employ transcripts of diplomatic negotiations to investigate the ways that Soviet and American leaders used new personal relationships with their adversaries to achieve thei r foreign policy goals. In order to gain further understanding of the Soviet leadership’s attitudes toward détente, I also examine how the Soviet government, through Pravda, communicated this new, increasingly complex diplomatic relationship to the Soviet public in a nuanced fashion, with multilayered presentations of American foreign policy that included portrayals of individual actors and not simply impersonal groups . ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction………………………………………..…………………………………………. 1 A Cautious Beginning: Soviet -American Relations before the Moscow Summit ..…………...9 The Lifting of the Veil: The 1972 Moscow Summit …………………………..…………….16 The High -Water Mark of Détente: The 1973 US Summit …..………………………….……30 “Nixon’s Last Friend”: The Watergate Scandal …………………………………………..…37 Détente in Crisis: The Jackson-Vanik Amendment ……………..…………………………..45 Conclusion…………………………………………………..……………………………….53 Appendices ……………………………………………..……………………………………57 Bibliography …………………………………………..……………………………………..65 iii Introduction Soviet Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Dobrynin greeted the news of Richard M.

  • Book Review: Doris Kearns, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream
    Book Review: Doris Kearns, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream September 16, 2010 Teaching American History Year Three Final Paper Chuck Myrbeck P.O. Box 1325 Dennis Port, MA 02639 1 Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream, Doris Kearns first book, published three years after LBJ’s death, present one of the first drafts of history for our thirty‐sixth President. President Johnson chose the twenty‐five year old Doris Kearns from the White House Fellows program for his staff after he shocking announced to the nation that he would not seek another term as President of the United States. The choice surprised many since the Harvard doctoral candidate had coauthored an article critical of LBJ’s Vietnam policy in the New Republic titled “How to Remove LBJ in 1968”. After his Presidency ended, he asked her to live at the LBJ ranch and help him write his autobiography, The Vantage Point. Kearns spent long weekends and breaks from her teaching of government at Harvard at the ranch with Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson. Their relationship lasted the last five years Lyndon Baines Johnson’s life. Thesis Doris Kearns attempts to analyze the childhood, look at the conflicting demands his parents put on him and see how the larger than life personality that emerged dealt with each stage of his political rise and fall. Famed developmental psychologist and Harvard professor Erik Erikson is referred to frequently. Johnson’s motives for giving such access to his personal recollections and papers in the final stage of his life lead to speculation. “Perhaps, even at the end, Lyndon Johnson was looking, planning, for some chance to achieve that place in history that meant so much to him” (Kearns, pg.

  • Drugs and Development: the Great Disconnect
    ISSN 2054-2046 Drugs and Development: The Great Disconnect Julia Buxton Policy Report 2 | January 2015 Drugs and Development: The Great Disconnect Julia Buxton∗ Policy Report 2 | January 2015 Key Points • The 2016 United Nations General Assembly Special Session on the World Drug Problem (UNGASS) will see a strong lobby in support of development oriented responses to the problem of drug supply, including from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). • The promotion of Alternative Development (AD) programmes that provide legal, non-drug related economic opportunities for drug crop cultivators reflects the limited success of enforcement responses, greater awareness of the development dimensions of cultivation activities and the importance of drugs and development agencies working co-operatively in drug environments. • Evidence from thirty years of AD programming demonstrates limited success in supply reduction and that poorly monitored and weakly evaluated programmes cause more harm than good; there has been little uptake of best practice approaches, cultivators rarely benefit from AD programmes, the concept of AD is contested and there is no shared understanding of ‘development’. • AD was popularised in the 1990s when development discourse emphasised participatory approaches and human wellbeing. This is distinct from the development approaches of the 2000s, which have been ‘securitised’ in the aftermath of the Global War on Terror and which re-legitimise military participation in AD. • UNGASS 2016 provides an opportunity for critical scrutiny of AD and the constraints imposed by the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs on innovative, rights based and nationally owned supply responses. Cultivation is a development not a crime and security issue.

  • Lyndon Johnson and the Rise and Fall of the “Liberal Hour”
    “LET US CONTINUE” – Lyndon Johnson and the Rise and Fall of the “Liberal Hour” After Kennedy’s tragic death, Johnson addressed the Congress and urged members to pass Kennedy’s legislative agenda as a tribute to the slain president. This was the very agenda that the southern members of his own Democratic party had refused to support during the previous two years. Now, however, the grieving public responded positively to Johnson’s efforts to push the Kennedy agenda, and Congress, sensing that opposing the public mood could be politically risky, allowed his Civil Rights bills to come to a vote. Over the next two years, the landmark Civil Rights bills of 1964 and 1965 became law. The first ended segregation and empowered the federal government to enforce anti- segregation laws; the second gave black voters the protection of the federal government, making it a federal crime for white state and local officials to deny blacks their constitutional right to vote. Similarly, Johnson was able to convince Congress to pass Kennedy’s tax cut and to take up legislation intended to fight poverty. (This was the beginning of the “War on Poverty” – more associated with the Johnson administration, than the Kennedy administration, but part of the same liberal, activist approach to government that characterized the first half of the 1960s.) 1964-1965 marked the high point of post-World War II liberalism. When Johnson won a landslide victory in the presidential election of 1964, it appeared that liberalism had secured a place as the dominant political ideology in the United States.

  • Issue Linkage∗ In: the Handbook of Commercial Policy (K
    Issue Linkage∗ In: The Handbook of Commercial Policy (K. Bagwell and R.W. Staiger, eds.) Giovanni Maggi Yale University and NBER April 2016 Abstract What are the potential benefits and costs of issue linkage in interna- tional cooperation? How can we interpret the patterns of issue linkage (or lack thereof) that we observe in the real world? I address these questions through a unifying framework that distinguishes between thee types of linkage: enforcement linkage, negotiation linkage and participation link- age. I argue that it is important to distinguish between these three no- tions, because the nature of the linkage and of the associated gains and losses are different in the three cases. I will pay particular attention to linkages between trade policy and non-economic policies (such as security, human rights and environmental policies). My framework aims at bring- ing together and organizing a number of insights from a very fragmented literature,aswellassuggestingpotentialnewinsightsandavenuesfor future research. 1Introduction The main focus of this chapter is the theory of issue linkage in international agreements. The central question I will focus on is: What are the benefits and costs of issue linkage for the various countries involved? The ultimate objec- tive is to gain a better understanding of the patterns of issue linkage (or lack thereof) that we observe across different policy areas and across international institutions. It is important to define what I mean by “issue linkage”. This is an um- brella notion that includes several types of linkage, as will be clear in a moment, but when I say that issue areas A and B are linked, I mean that international agreements in policy areas A and B are connected at some level.

  • Rhetoric of Richard Nixon
    Madman 1 Running Head: Madman The "Madman" Rhetoric of Richard Nixon: An Alternative Means to Establish Geopolitical Ethos. David K. Scott Department of Communication Arts Northeastern State University Tahlequah OK 74464 A Paper Presented at the Annual Meeting of the 2005 Central States Communication Association (Kansas City, MO April 6-10). Madman 2 Abstract In a geopolitical context, the means of establishing deterrence is premised on the military capability of a country and the perceived willingness of a leader to use force as a means to achieve policy goals. A key function of rhetoric is to establish the personal ethos of a leader regarding their willingness to use force. During the Cold War the rhetorical context of geopolitical discourse was premised on a rational choice model of decision-making based on a strategic calculation of the relative strength of each country. This paper argues that rhetorical strategies need to change relative to the strategic situation facing each leader. Further, the rhetorical burden of building and maintaining strategic credibility inversely increases relative to a country's military power. This paper explores Richard Nixon's innovative rhetorical strategy of cultivating irrationality and uncertainty as a means to maintain and enhance "deterrent credibility" during a period of national decline. Madman 3 Introduction Aristotle identified "ethos" or speaker credibility as a key component of successful rhetoric. One particular context of ethos can be referred to as "geopolitical credibility." Geopolitical credibility concerns the reputation of countries and leaders in relation to one another. In this context, credibility can be defined as a form of power and deterrence.
