Matson, Chairman Stuart Gerry Brown Reuel Denney James M. McCutcheon Glenn D. Paige Carolyn M. Stephenson C by Rhoda Miller 1990 All rights reserved iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation is dedicated to Senator Spark M. Matsunaga l'homme incompris: without his tireless efforts there would be no United States Institute of Peace iv ABSTRACT This dissertation is an investigation into the ideas that formed the United States Institute of Peace in order to ascertain how they fit into traditional American thought and belief. It uses primary source material, including interviews, letters, government documents as well as historical references. It traces the historical development and reasons for institutionalization of the concept of a Department of Peace and analyzes the institute that resu.lted from the federal legislative process, comparing it with the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. The role of peace education, peace research and peace action in shaping the institute is also presented. The author concludes that in the four years of its existence the united States Institute of Peace has made considerable achievements despite underfunding and the leadership of a largely conservative Board of Directors. If it can tailor its agenda to fit the needs of a new intellectual climate of opinion, the Institute should be a leader in the peace research field. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgments. iv Abstract. ••••••••••••••••• eo 0 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• v Preface•. vii Chapter One: Philosophical Heritage. 1 Chapter Two: Institutional Heritage. 26 Chapter Three: Institutionalization. 46 Chapter Four: The ACDA Lesson. 70 Chapter Five: Peace Education. 81 Chapter six: Peace Research••• 115 Chapter Seven: The USIP Today. 164 Chapter Eight: Conclusion..••• 187 Bibliography . 205 Index ' . 226 vi PREFACE The purpose of this dissertation is to a$certain how the concepts that motivated people to institutionalize peace education and peace research within the federal government are a part of the historic tradition of American thought and belief. The work is divided into three parts: Historical Heritage, Conceptual Background, and Analysis. The first chapter considers America's religious heritage and the just war concepts that inform American thinking about peace and war. Chapter two examines Americans' propensity to codify their civic convictions by relating the saga of efforts to institutionalize American concepts of peace from George Washington's suggestion of a Department of Peace to the present united states Institute of Peace. The organized effort for institutionalization as a social movement organization is also considered. The third chapter defines the terms of the debate that took place in federal government hearings on the establishment of a peace academy, and sets these terms in historical perspective. Ideas such as America's uniqueness and messianic vision are explored. The concepts leading to the establishment of the United states Institute of Peace (USIP) closely parallel those that led to the founding of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, which was intended to satisfy the desires of peace proponents. Chapter Four traces the development of that agency and outlines vii the caveats that informed founders of the USIP, which was orignally envisioned as a peace academy. Accordingly, Chapter Five reviews the history of peace education in schools and colleges in the united states, and critiques some programs now in place. The role of the federal government in education is also examined. Similarly, Chapter six traces the development of peace research, with special attention to conflict resolution, from colonial times to the present. The tension between strategists and critical peace researchers, which I call "the two culture debate," is probed. The last part consists of an assessment of the first four years of the USIP in Chapter Seven and concluding remarks in Chapter Eight. I believe that, despite administration objections and the leadership of a largely conservative board of directors, the institute has been remarkably even-handed in its support of all forms of peace research. This raises the question of the role of intellectuals in shaping public philosophy and participating in social action, which is briefly considerd. Finally, I suggest that the American peace movement is part of a global trend toward democratic participation in publ Lo affairs and commitment to nonviolent solutions to conflict, and this has implications for the fledgling institution. My thanks to my numerous correspondents and interviewees; their help was invaluable. Interpretations of the information received are, of course, my own. viii CHAPTER ONE: PHILOSOPHICAL HERITAGE Ironically, the united States Institute of Peace was born on October 19, 1984, in the penumbra of the Defense establishment: legislation creating the Institute was an appendage (Title XVII) to the Defense Authorization Bill (P.L. 98-525). The reason for this seeming contradiction was that from its conception the Institute was sUbject to the exigencies of political maneuvering. Its long gestation process began in the Carter administration, but by the time it was ready to be shaped into legislative form, a new Reagan administration opposed the measure. Proponents of the legislation attached the provision for a peace institute to a bill the conservative President would not veto, thereby extracting a sort of rough poetic justice against an administration at that time given more to bellicosity than diplomacy in the practice of its foreign policy. In this regard, the Institute joins the ranks of other institutions created by Americans to correct the disparity between avowed principles and empirical practices in our society: A civil Rights Commission to safeguard basic citizen rights embodied in our constitution and codified in our laws; an anti­ trust division in the Justice Department to investigate violations of free market practices, the bedrock of our capitalistic system; an Environmental Protection Agency to monitor the way we husband our natural resources, hailed as 1 irreplaceable in numerous acts creating national parks, forests, landmarks and watershed areas. As numerous witnesses testified during the Congressional hearings on the establishment of the USIP, there was a perceived dichotomy between the principles of a democratic, peace-loving nation and the practices of that nation in the form of three service academies and five war colleges to train young people to wage war, along with an enormous stockpile of nuclear weapons and a huge peacetime military bUdget. The movement for a peace institute began in 1976, when S. 1976, the George Washington Peace Academy Act, failed to pass out of the subcommittee on education of the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare. As a result, concerned citizens formed N-PAC (the National Peace Academy campaign), and in 1978 they were able to convince legislato~s to create a commission on Proposals for the National Academy of Peace and Conflict Resolution. This commission, chaired by Senator Spark M. Matsunaga of Hawaii, carried out its mandate to investigate existing peace programs in higher education institutions and to consider the feasibility, practicality and possible structure of a Peace Academy. Twelve pUblic hearings were conducted across the United States. After the commission completed its work, it recommended to President Reagan and Congress the establishment of a United

    H-Peace Brock on Curran, 'Soldiers of Peace: Civil War Pacifism and the Postwar Radical Peace Movement' Review published on Monday, March 1, 2004 Thomas F. Curran. Soldiers of Peace: Civil War Pacifism and the Postwar Radical Peace Movement. New York: Fordham University Press, 2003. xv + 228 pp. $45.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8232-2210-0. Reviewed by Peter Brock (Professor Emeritus of History, University of Toronto)Published on H- Peace (March, 2004) Dilemmas of a Perfectionist Dilemmas of a Perfectionist Thomas Curran's monograph originated in a Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Notre Dame but it has been much revised since. The book's clearly written and well-constructed narrative revolves around the person of an obscure package woolen commission merchant from Philadelphia named Alfred Henry Love (1830-1913), a radical pacifist activist who was also a Quaker in all but formal membership. Love is the key figure in the book, binding Curran's chapters together into a cohesive whole. And Love's papers, and particularly his unpublished "Journal," which are located at the Swarthmore College Peace Collection, form the author's most important primary source: in fact, he uses no other manuscript collections, although, as the endnotes and bibliography show, he is well read in the published primary and secondary materials, including work on the general background of both the Civil War era and nineteenth-century pacifism. Curran has indeed rescued Love himself from near oblivion; there is little else on him apart from an unpublished Ph.D. dissertation by Robert W. Doherty (University of Pennsylvania, 1962).

  • Maternal Activism
    1 Biography as Philosophy The Power of Personal Example for Transformative Theory As I have written this book, my kids have always been present in some way. Sometimes, they are literally present because they are beside me playing, asking questions, wanting my attention. Other times, they are present in the background of my consciousness because I’m thinking about the world they live in and the kind of world I want them to live in. Our life together is probably familiar to many U.S. middle-class women: I work full-time, the kids go to school full time, and our evenings and weekends are filled with a range of activities with which we are each involved. We stay busy with our individual activities, but we also come together for dinner most nights, we go on family outings, and we enjoy our time together. As much time as I do spend with my kids, I constantly feel guilty for not doing enough with them since I also spend significant time preparing for classes, grading, researching, and writing while I’m with them. Along with many other women, I feel the pressure of trying and failing to balance mothering and a career. Although I feel as though I could be a better mother and a bet- ter academic, I also have to concede that I lead a privileged life as a woman and mother. Mothers around the world would love to have the luxury of providing for their children’s physical and mental well-being. In the Ivory Coast and Ghana, children are used as slave labor to harvest cocoa beans for chocolate (Bitter Truth; “FLA Highlights”; Hawksley; The Food Empowerment Project).

  • Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1961 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Post-Presidential Papers reveal the wide range of contacts and the busy schedule which he maintained during the 1960s. A large volume of mail kept his small secretarial staff busy, and he was in great demand as a public speaker. Correspondence in the Post-Presidential Papers offers some interesting insights into Eisenhower’s thinking on numerous issues. No longer burdened by the responsibilities of public office, he felt freer, perhaps, to express himself on various topics. Among the issues discussed in documents found within the 1961 Principal File are the space program, the Berlin situation, Republican party politics, the U.S. economy and monetary policy, and the 1960 elections. Additional topics discussed include Cuba and the Bay of Pigs disaster, foreign aid, taxes, the alleged missile gap, the 1952 campaign, the U.S.I.A.’s mission, the Electoral College, Laos, Latin America, and public housing. Eisenhower’s correspondence in the 1961 Principal File reflects a virtual Who’s Who of both foreign leaders and prominent Americans. Konrad Adenauer of Germany, John Diefenbaker of Canada, Anthony Eden, Harold Macmillan, and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain, Prime Minister Menzies of Australia, President Mateos of Mexico, and King Saud of Saudi Arabia are among the foreign leaders who stayed in touch with the ex-president. Many prominent Americans maintained contact with the former president as well. He corresponded with numerous former members of his administration, including Dillon Anderson, Ezra Taft Benson, Arthur F. Burns, Andrew Goodpaster, James Hagerty, Bryce Harlow, Gabriel Hauge, C.D.

The organizing process began with discussions between Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and women in the Upstate Feminist Peace Alliance (NY), to consider siting the camp at the Seneca Army Depot in Romulus, NY. The planning meetings for the Encampment have since grown to include women from Toronto, Ottawa, Rochester, Oswego, Syracuse, Geneva, Ithaca, Albany, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, and some of the smaller towns in between. Some of the tasks have been organized regionally and others have been done locally. Our planning meetings are open, and we are committed to consensus as our decision making process.

  • Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University In
    371 /V8 A/O 'oo THE "VIVA KENNEDY" CLUBS IN SOUTH TEXAS THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Joan Traffas, B.A. Denton, Texas December, 1972 Traffas, Joan, The "Viva Kennedy" Clubs in South Texas. Master of Arts (History), December, 1972, 132 pp., 2 tables, bibliography, 115 titles. This thesis analyzes the impact of the Mexican-American voters in south Texas on the 1960 presidential election. During that election year, this ethnic minority was strong enough to merit direct appeals from the Democratic presiden- tial candidate, and subsequently, allowed to conduct a unique campaign divorced from the direct control of the conservative state Democratic machinery. Formerly, the Democratic politicos in south Texas manipulated the Mexican-American vote. In 1960, however, the Chicanos voted for a man with whom they could empathize, rather than for a party label. This strong identification with the Democratic candidate was rooted in psychological rather than ideological, social rather than political, factors. John F. Kennedy seemed to personify machismo and simpatla. Perhaps even more impres- sive than the enthusiasm, the Kennedy candidacy generated among the Mexican-Americans was the ability of the Texas Democratic regulars to prevent a liberal-conservative rup- ture within the state party. This was accomplished by per- mitting the Mexican-American "Viva Kennedy" clubs quasi- independence. Because of these two conditions, the Mexican- American ethnic minority became politically salient in the 1960 campaign. 1 2 The study of the Mexican-American political behavior in 1960 proceeds in three stages.
