The industries, such as coal-mining and shipbuilding, inhabitants of the area are drifting away. And the thrived. Glass-making and iron works also companies which have invested so much are either contributed to the area's prosperity, and the advent of having to close, slim down, or search desperately for steel created even greater opportunities for the new orders in order to employ their workers. The rapidly increasing population. industrial revolution has gone into reverse. In the Sunderland area, a major casualty ofth e recession, grants and loans from Europe are helping in the fight against unemployment. ROY STEMMAN reports ith a few notable exceptions, manufacturing industry in the North-East is struggling to stay Wlive. In its place, service industries and light engineering are appearing. But the recession has slowed their rate of growth. Sunderland, once the world's greatest ship­ building centre, epitomises the North-East's problems. There are only two shipyards now, and their workforce has dwindled. The Little­ woods Organisation mail order company is now a bigger employer than the larger of the two yards, Austin & Pickersgill. Sunderland has a population of about 300,000 and is one offivectistricts in Tyne and Wear county. It also has the highest male unemployment rate in the North-East: 25 per cent. On some of the town's housing estates which have a large number of unskilled peo­ ple, that rate doubles and every other man is out ofwork. The prospect for Sunderland's 7,000 school-leavers is bleak. 'There's not a job in sight,' Peter Kershaw, manager of Sunder­ land borough's programme planning depart­ ment, told me. It is for this reason that the borough has applied to the EEC for a grant to enable it to extend the scope of the present Youth Oppor­ tunitiesPrograrnme(YOP). It plans to set up a fund to encourage employers to take on youngsters, adctitional to their requirements, for three to four years. It hopes that the European Social Fund will agree to pay the same percentage as it does at present for YOP schemes, but over the extended period. Apprentice schemes have been on the de­ cline for a long time, and Sunderland sees its plan as an ideal solution to two problems: ....

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

His works are predominantly head and shoulder portraits, often against a monochrome background. The viewer is drawn towards the sitter’s face by light accents revealed by clothing. After his initial training, Mierevelt quickly turned to portraiture. He gained success in this medium, becoming official painter of the court and gaining many commissions from the wealthy citizens of Delft, other Dutch nobles and visiting foreign dignitaries. His portraits display his characteristic dry manner of painting, evident in this work where the pigment has been applied without much oil. The elaborate lace collar and slashed doublet are reminiscent of clothes that appear in Frans Hals's work of the same period.

    Faith in Diplomacy Archie Mackenzie A memoir CAUX BOOKS • GROSVENOR BOOKS In this well-written book containing accounts of many delightful episodes in his diplomatic life, Archie Mackenzie succeeds in combining his working principles with his deeply held beliefs in Moral Re-Armament. He describes the problems he encountered right up to the highest level in his profession and how he succeeded in overcoming them throughout his long service in Whitehall and in our Embassies abroad. I know of no one else who has done this so capably and it makes both enjoyable and impressive reading. Edward Heath, KG, PC, British Prime Minister 1970-74 Archie Mackenzie is a diplomat with a long memory. His knowledge of the UN goes back to 1945, and I was fortunate enough to have him as head of the economic work of the Mission when I became Ambassador in 1974. A man of deep personal integrity, which showed in his professional activities, he was a diplomat of the highest quality. His story is well worth the telling.

    “The Quality of the Ordinary”: Anglo-American Diplomacy and the Third World 1975- 1980 Andrew J. Whitford Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Andrew J. Whitford All rights reserved ABSTRACT “The Quality of the Ordinary”: Anglo-American Diplomacy and the Third World 1975- 1980 Andrew J. Whitford The recovery of the Anglo-American relationship in the late 1970s took place in the Third World. The “Special Relationship” between the United States and Britain reached its post World War II nadir in the decade between 1964 and 1974. Simultaneous to this decline in the relationship was the growing power and influence of the Third World in international institutions. By the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, both the United States and Britain were suffering political and economic turmoil brought about by increased oil prices, labor unrest, and inflation. The two countries worked together to navigate a broad array of problems to include the Third World’s increasing hostility to Israel and calls for a New International Economic Order in the United Nations, a growing refugee crisis in southeast Asia, the spread of the Cold War to southern Africa, and questions about decline and disorder at home. In the United States, neoconservatives began to assert a greater role in international affairs by questioning both the future of British socialism and the wisdom of appeasing the Third World. Within these constraints, British and American statesmen acted to end white rule in Rhodesia to contain communist expansion, care for refugees while upholding international law within real fiscal constraints, and free American hostages held in Iran.
