VILLARD Representative, E ropean Office of the United Nations Geneva (1958-1960- Henry S. Villard was born in New York City in 1900. After receiving his bachelor s degree from Harvard University he did post graduate work at Magdalen College at Oxford University. His career includes positions in Tehran, Washington D.C., Rio de Janeiro, Vene.uela, Norway, Libya, and ambassadorship to Senegal and Mauritania. Ambassador Villard was interviewed by Dmitri Villard in July 1991. Q: So in 1901 you were sent abroad again, this time to 2eneva, Swit.erland. What was your assignment there3 VILLAR2: The title of my position in Geneva was United States Representative at the European Offi e of the United Nations and other International Organizations. This, as the title implies, involved hiefly representing of the United States vis a vis the other ountries represented at the UN in Geneva. 0or the other organizations in Geneva, su h as the World Health Organization, I had dire t relations with themA they in luded the Offi e of Refugees, the International La.or Organization, et . It is an e6ample of multi-national diploma y at its best. Q: It was also the site of innumerable conferences dealing with trade and tariffs, communications. VILLAR2: Also, for e6ample, the high-level politi al onferen e on surprise atta k, the pea eful uses of atomi energy, and so forth. Q: How do you feel the effectiveness was of your organi.ation and staff in 2eneva3 VILLAR2: I think that we had an e6 ellent organization, mostly spe ialists in various su.Be ts, all of whom knew their business. We were unfortunately not a.le to represent the United States as effe tively as we might in a so ial sense be ause of the a tion of the hairman of the House of RepresentativeCs appropriations ommittee, Congressman Rooney. He held the purse strings and for personal reasons he resented the fa t that the in um.ent onsul general lost his jo. when I arrived at the post. He took out his ire at this by depriving me of all representation and housing allowan es and we had to move out of a very satisfa tory villa where we used to entertain our various diplomati opposite num.ers and move into a small apartment, whi h reated a bad impression in Geneva. It was very em.arrassing. Q: How do you feel the interest was of the Department in your work at that time3 VILLAR2: I think only a ertain se tion of the 2epartment was really interested. The trade agreements se tion of the GATT DGeneral Agreement on Tariffs and TradesE in the E onomi area of the 2epartment was ertainly interested, but not so mu h interest on the politi al side was apparent. Q: In 1950 you were then appointed ambassador to Senegal and to Mauritania. If I am not mistaken you were originally appointed ambassador to the Mali Federation which included the country of Mali as well. What happened3 .INSTON LORD Negotiator, General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade Geneva (1965-1962- Ambassador Lord was born and raised in New York City and earned degrees at Yale University and the 6letcher School of Law and Diplomacy. He entered the 6oreign Service in 1951.After serving in Washington and 2eneva, Mr. Lord was assigned to the Department of Defense before joining the National Security Council, where he was involved in China and Indonesia matters. He subse8uently served on State s Policy Planning Staff. In 1910 Mr. Lord was named US Ambassador to China, where he served until 1919. From 1993 to 1997 the Ambassador held the position of Assistant Secretary of State dealing with Far Eastern Affairs. Ambassador Lord was interviewed by Charles Stuart Kennedy in 1991. Q: What was the overall thing3 LOR2: This was the negotiations under the GATT, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. There had been every few years a general negotiation. The GATT was one of the post-World War II organizations set up to regulate trade among nations, and to try to free trade among nations. Every now and then instead of plodding along with various bilateral negotiations around the world, the feeling was to have a glo.al negotiation with everyone who is a mem.er of GATT getting together and try to have a glo.al agreement. It had also the virtue of while you engaged in that, whi h usually took a lot of time, did hold off prote tionist pressures in various ountries .e ause they were saying, well, weCre now going into a negotiation and may.e we an free things up. So it had a way of freezing whatever tariff levels there were at the time, and tariffs were the most important although non-tariff barriers were beginning to get important, and keeping things from getting worse. So President 7ennedy proposed that we have another one of these rounds and try to free up trade. There had been at least one before that in the C50s, I forget what it was alled. We were in the pro ess of getting ready for that. Of ourse, it turned out that - and weCll get into this - it lasted mu h longer than we e6pe ted. When I went to Geneva thinking it was going to be a.out a year, it turned out to be two and a half years, and the only reason it was ever on luded was be ause Ameri an legislative authority to negotiate, granted by the Congress was going to run out on ,une 30, 1967. So that turned out to be a deadline whi h speeded up the negotiations the last si6 months or year. Q: As you were getting ready on your team, were you, I mean you and your team, looking ahead to see what the problems were going to be with the European Economic Community3 LOR2: Fes, it was true that year, but it be ame even more frustrating when we got to Geneva. It was a very slow pa e in negotiations, and the primary reason was be ause the EEC ould not get its a t together, primarily be ause of 0ran e. Generally you had the 8ritish, the 2ut h, et , traditionally looking for fairly forth oming li.eral trading positions, and the 0ren h to a ertain e6tent and I believe the Italians were dragging their feet. I guess the Germans also were for free trade. 8ut they had to get a onsensus and so we really spent a good part of ertainly that year waiting, when things were still preparatory, so it wasnCt so vivid. 8ut on e we got to Geneva it was mu h more lear that we were just waiting on the Europeans to ome forward with de ent positions. Sin e they were so entral to the negotiations, they held up the overall 7ennedy Round. The fa t is that you were Buggling several balls at on e. The fa t that no.ody ould negotiate with the EEC was holding up the overall negotiation. So we essentially treaded water while they .attled within the EEC, and the 0ren h were always introdu ing a prote tionist element. Getting ready in Washington onsisted, as I say, of ompiling statisti s, figuring out what our o.Be tives were, what tariffs and other barriers to trade we wanted to try to remove, what we were willing to give up, onsulting ICm sure with domesti interests, dealing with Congress, and just generally shaping strategy for the negotiations.

The methodology of the research is based on combination of the general and special historical methods and principles of historical cognition, namely scientificity, historicism, systematicity, objectivity. The principles of historicism, systematicity and scientificity provide for tracing the activity of "Voice of America" and its causal relationships with the historical and political background and, in particular, the foreign policy agenda of the US government. The objectivity principle is involved while highlighting the activity of the broadcasting station. Alongside with the critical analysis of the source base, it stands for defining the conceptual background of "Voice of America’s" operation, its regularities and certain aspects. The principle of systematicity makes it possible to create a holistic image of a broadcaster’s activity in 1940- ies-at the beginning of the XXI century. Taking into account the specifics of the topic, the article employs an interdisciplinary approach actualized due to categorial and scientific-research instruments of other social and humanitarian sciences, particularly politology.

Evaluating the Impact of New Media on Conflict The first Blogs and Bullets event took place in Washington D.C. on July 8th. The event focused around a special report released at the conference, in which a team of scholars from GWU, in cooperation with scholars from Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society and from Morningside Analytics, took a fresh theoretical, and empirical approach to discussing new media in conflict areas. The report critically assessed both the “cyberutopian” and “cyberskeptic” perspectives, and proposed a new framework for assessing the role of new media in contentious politics. This event explored these themes in three panels. In the first morning panel, Alec Ross of the U.S. State Department, Berkman’s Ethan Zuckerman, and GWU’s Marc Lynch engaged in a discussion of USIP’s Sheldon Himelfarb, GW’s Marc Lynch, the State Department’s Alec Ross, and the these topics moderated by USIP’s Sheldon Himelfarb.

  • The Role of Art in Cold War Diplomacy in Yugoslav-US Relations 1961-1966
    Paper prepared for the Sixth Euroacademia International Conference Re-Inventing Eastern Europe Belgrade, 27 – 28 January 2017 This paper is a draft Please do not cite or circulate 1 The Role of Art in Cold War Diplomacy in Yugoslav-US Relations 1961-1966 Stefana Djokic, The University of Edinburgh, UK ABSTRACT: During the 1960s, culture was often (sometimes unwittingly, other times intentionally) infused with the politics of the Cold War. This paper will highlight the specific role of former Yugoslavia in America’s cultural Cold War programme and Yugoslavia’s frontier position between East and West in geographical, ideological and socio-political terms. America’s foreign and cultural policies will be correlated with Yugoslavia’s government active roles and strategies and its art world in international cultural relations. The analysis will start with the year 1961, when Yugoslavia adopted a new strategic position of “ nonalignment”. In the same year, the US Information Agency organised the exhibition American Vanguard Painting upon the request of the Yugoslav government. The exhibition illustrates the importance of politics in the cultural relations between the US and former Yugoslavia. Changes in Yugoslav political agenda, particularly frequent re- positioning towards the US and USSR, were manifested at all levels, including Yugoslav President Tito’s shifting attitudes towards abstract art. I demonstrate how exhibitions were not just art events, but often political “ minefields” for every party involved. The neutral position of “ nonalignment” allowed Yugoslavia to promote dialogue between foreign states. In art, this was achieved through the organisation of transnational exhibitions, which drew artists, curators and visitors from Eastern and Western Europe, the US and the decolonised Third World.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF John Robert Oreskovich for the Master of Arts in History presented November 8, 1983. Title: American-Yugoslav Relations, 1941-1946. APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: This thesis deals with the diplomatic relations between Yugoslavia and the United States through the Second World War and the first few months following the end of the War. It follows in chronological order the events influencing American-Yugoslav relations. Emphasis is placed on the development of Yugoslav internal events and their political implications. 2 The United States, after some initial enthusiasm for Yugoslavia, remained on the periphery of Yugoslav affairs, but stayed in diplomatic contact with the Yugoslav govern­ ment. The American ability to remain outside of Yugoslav events lessened as the war progressed. The Partisan move­ ment and its leader, Tito, changed the political situation within Yugoslavia.
