The Regime Change Consensus: Iraq in American Politics, 1990-2003
THE REGIME CHANGE CONSENSUS: IRAQ IN AMERICAN POLITICS, 1990-2003 Joseph Stieb A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Wayne Lee Michael Morgan Benjamin Waterhouse Daniel Bolger Hal Brands ©2019 Joseph David Stieb ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joseph David Stieb: The Regime Change Consensus: Iraq in American Politics, 1990-2003 (Under the direction of Wayne Lee) This study examines the containment policy that the United States and its allies imposed on Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War and argues for a new understanding of why the United States invaded Iraq in 2003. At the core of this story is a political puzzle: Why did a largely successful policy that mostly stripped Iraq of its unconventional weapons lose support in American politics to the point that the policy itself became less effective? I argue that, within intellectual and policymaking circles, a claim steadily emerged that the only solution to the Iraqi threat was regime change and democratization. While this “regime change consensus” was not part of the original containment policy, a cohort of intellectuals and policymakers assembled political support for the idea that Saddam’s personality and the totalitarian nature of the Baathist regime made Iraq uniquely immune to “management” strategies like containment. The entrenchment of this consensus before 9/11 helps explain why so many politicians, policymakers, and intellectuals rejected containment after 9/11 and embraced regime change and invasion.

CRS Report for Congress Received Through the CRS Web
Order Code RL30341 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web China/Taiwan: Evolution of the “One China” Policy – Key Statements from Washington, Beijing, and Taipei Updated March 12, 2001 Shirley A. Kan Specialist in National Security Policy Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress This CRS Report was initiated upon a request from Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott in the 106th Congress. China/Taiwan: Evolution of the “One China” Policy – Key Statements from Washington, Beijing, and Taipei Summary On July 9, 1999, questions about the “one China” policy arose again after Lee Teng-hui, then-President of Taiwan, characterized cross-strait relations as “special state-to-state ties.” The Clinton Administration responded that Lee’s statement was not helpful and reaffirmed the “one China” policy and opposition to “two Chinas.” Beijing, in February 2000, issued its second White Paper on Taiwan, reaffirming its “peaceful unification” policy but with new warnings about the risk of conflict. There also have been questions about whether and how President Chen Shui-bian, inaugurated in May 2000, might adjust Taiwan’s policy toward the Mainland. In Part I, this CRS report discusses the policy on “one China” since the United States began in 1971 to reach understandings with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) government in Beijing. Part II documents the evolution of the “one China” principle as articulated in key statements by Washington, Beijing, and Taipei. Despite apparently consistent statements over almost three decades, the critical “one China” principle has been left somewhat ambiguous and subject to different interpretations among Washington, Beijing, and Taipei.

H-France Review Volume 16 (2016) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 16 (September 2016), No. 202 James H. Rubin and Olivia Mattis, eds., Rival Sisters, Art and Music at the Birth of Modernism, 1815-1915. Farnham, England; Burlington, VT: Ashgate, 2014. xiv + 389 pp. Illustrations, bibliography, and index. $129.95 U.S. (hb) ISBN 978-1-4094-2070-5. Review by Peter L. Schmunk, Wofford College. Since the 1990s an increasing number of scholarly studies have explored the interrelations of music and the visual arts during the nineteenth century, especially the latter half of that period. Among the best of recent books on this topic is this collection of essays edited by James H. Rubin and Olivia Mattis. Originating as a double session of papers presented at the 2011 annual meeting of the College Art Association, followed that same year by an international conference at Stony Brook Manhattan on inter- art dialogues during the periods of Romanticism and Modernism, this project has yielded a substantial body of original and compelling research. The book includes a lengthy introduction by the editors followed by fourteen essays on discrete topics focused in most cases on individual artworks or artists, from Friedrich and Delacroix at the beginning of the century to Rodin, Debussy, and Matisse at the end. The authors represented include a number of the most active and influential scholars currently working in this burgeoning field of research. While the book’s title suggests a balance between art and music, as broad areas of investigation or as influences on one another, and though the editors include an art historian (Rubin) and a musicologist (Mattis), they acknowledge an “emphasis on visuality” (p.
