Harbutt, Ph.D. An abstract of A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies of Emory University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History 2014 Abstract Elusive Equality: The Nuclear Arms Race in Europe and the History of the INF Treaty, 1969-1988 By David Nathaniel Vigil This dissertation draws upon thousands of recently-available American, Soviet, and European documents to present a compelling narrative of the nuclear arms race in Europe and the history of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty from 1969-1988. It argues that although the United States, the Soviet Union, and the European members of NATO all claimed to support equitable arms control agreements, conflicting definitions of nuclear equality perpetuated the arms race in Europe and undermined efforts to achieve an arms limitation treaty. While exploring the complex history of US-Soviet arms control negotiations, the dissertation sheds new light on the Soviet view of the arms race from 1969-1976, Henry Kissinger’s secret negotiations with Soviet leaders from 1969-1974, the logic behind the Soviet decision to begin deploying its SS-20 missiles in 1976, the reasons why NATO had such difficulty formulating a unified response to these new Soviet missiles at the start of Jimmy Carter’s presidency in 1977, President Carter’s bungling of the neutron bomb affair in 1978, the fragility of the NATO dual-track decision in 1979, Margaret Thatcher’s role in the deployment of American missiles in Europe in 1983, the paradox at the heart of Ronald Reagan’s policies toward the Soviet Union from 1981-1988, the Soviet reaction to President Reagan’s hard line policies from 1981-1984, and the importance of new ideas and personal relationships in Mikhail Gorbachev’s decision to abandon the Soviet pursuit of nuclear equality and make numerous concessions to the United States in order to achieve the INF Treaty in 1987.

Harbutt, Ph.D. A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies of Emory University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History 2014 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am deeply grateful for the support that I received from family and friends while researching and writing this dissertation. My dear wife, Hope Vigil, was by my side through all of the triumphs and trials of my graduate studies, and I would not have been able to complete my dissertation without her. She continued to believe when my faith was small, and there were many times when her faith carried us both. Words cannot express how much I treasure and appreciate her. My two children, Nathaniel and Mercy, were a source of constant joy. My mom, Betsy Vigil, and my in- laws, Pat and Debbie Bradley, provided unwavering love and encouragement. Philip Bradley was a real brother and friend to me, and Kasia Bradley supported me and my family in more ways than we could ever enumerate. Carlos Arzabe, Brooks Dampman, Samuel Meka, James Temple, and David Yoon were true companions at important stages of the journey. The team in Athens—Robert Philips, Eric Chen, Bobby Peel, Phillip Bruce, and Lauren Bruce—gave me the boost that I needed to finish the final chapters. Stephen and Glorianna Peng, David and Grace Carlson, and Emmanuel and Eliza Yeow provided gracious hospitality on my many research trips to Washington, DC. Ron Kangas’ timely e-mail messages helped me understand my history and set a new path for my future. I am also thankful for the academic and financial support that I received during my graduate studies. Fraser Harbutt, Patrick Allitt, and Matthew Payne served on my dissertation committee. The James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies at Emory University gave me a generous fellowship for my first four years of graduate study, a Dean’s Teaching Fellowship to cover my fifth year, and a grant that paid for language training in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Graduate Student Council and the History Department at Emory provided travel grants that enabled me to conduct research in England. The Friends of the Princeton University Library supplied me with a research grant to do research at Princeton. The Elliot School of International Affairs at George Washington University furnished me with office space during a research trip to Washington, DC. The US Department of Education awarded me a Foreign Language and Area Studies fellowship that paid for an intensive Russian language program at Indiana University, and the Kennan Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars supported my research at the National Security Archive with a short-term research grant.

Shortly after becoming the 40th President, he called for massive increases in the American defense budget, authorized an aggressive program of psychological operations against the Soviet Union, decried the Soviet Union as the focus of evil in the modern world, announced plans to build a missile shield in outer space, and installed a new generation of nuclear missiles in Europe that could reduce Moscow to rubble within ten minutes of being launched.1 Reagan’s hardline policies greatly heightened tensions between the two Cold War antagonists, and many began to fear that nuclear war was a real possibility. French President Francois Mitterrand likened the tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union in 1983 to the face-off over Berlin in 1948 and the Cuban missile crisis in 1962.2 George Kennan, the architect of the doctrine of containment, feared that superpower relations were spinning out of control. He warned Reagan officials that he detected “the familiar characteristics, the unfailing characteristics, of a march toward war—that and nothing else."3 1 David S. Painter and Thomas S.

On March 8, Reagan called the Soviet Union the evil empire. The Soviets were deeply unhappy with this characterization. On March 23 Reagan announced his plan to 3 Soviet leaders were extremely alarmed by the Cold War cowboy in the White House, and they blamed Reagan for pushing US-Soviet relations to the brink of nuclear war. The official Soviet news agency TASS declared that Reagan was full of "bellicose lunatic anti-communism" and warned that Reagan’s inflammatory policies could trigger an accidental nuclear exchange.4 The chairman of the KGB was so convinced that Reagan might be planning to attack the Soviet Union that he designed a massive international espionage effort and sent hundreds of KGB agents around the world to look for evidence that the United States was preparing for a surprise nuclear strike against the USSR.5 build a defense shield in outer space.

My name is Jacob, and I’ll be your chair, helping to guide you as you take on the role of the Soviet political elites circa 1961. Originally from Wilmington, Delaware, at Princeton I study Slavic Languages and Literature. The Eastern Bloc, as well as Yugoslavia, have long been interests of mine. Our history classes and national consciousness often paints them as communist enemies, but in their own ways, they too helped to shape the modern world that we know today. While ultimately failed states, they had successes throughout their history, contributing their own shares to world science and culture, and that’s something I’ve always tried to appreciate. Things are rarely as black and white as the paper and ink of our textbooks. During the conference, you will take on the role of members of the fictional Soviet Advisory Committee on Centralization and Global Communism, a new semi-secret body intended to advise the Politburo and other major state organs. You will be given unmatched power but also faced with a variety of unique challenges, such as unrest in the satellite states, an economy over-reliant on heavy industry, and a geopolitical sphere of influence being challenged by both the USA and an emerging Communist China.

  • Mikhail Gorbachev and the NATO Enlargement Debate: Then and Now 443
    Mikhail Gorbachev and the NATO Enlargement Debate: Then and Now 443 Chapter 19 Mikhail Gorbachev and the NATO Enlargement Debate: Then and Now Pavel Palazhchenko The purpose of this chapter is to bring to the attention of research- ers materials relating to the antecedents of NATO enlargement that have not been widely cited in ongoing discussions. In the debate on NATO enlargement, both in Russia and in the West, the issue of the “assurances on non-enlargement of NATO” giv- en to Soviet leaders and specifically Mikhail Gorbachev in 1989-1990 has taken center stage since the mid-1990s. The matter is discussed not just by scholars, journalists and other non-policy-makers but also by major political figures, particularly in Russia, including President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. In the West, there has recently been renewed interest in the subject following the publi- cation of some declassified material by the National Security Archive, a Washington, D.C., non-profit organization with a somewhat mislead- ing name. While some of the aspects of the discussion of the “assurances” are similar in Russia and the West (conflation of fact and opinion, of bind- ing obligations and remarks relating to expectation or intent) the sub- text is different. In Russia most commentators accuse Gorbachev of being gullible and naïve and blithely accepting the assurances instead of demanding a binding legal guarantee of non-enlargement. In the West, the subtext is more often of the West’s bad faith in breaking what is supposed to be an informal “pledge of non-enlargement” given to Gor- bachev.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 2 ABSTRACT The aim of this research is to investigate whether the Reagan administration was influenced by ‘New Right’ ideas. Foreign policy issues were chosen as test cases because the presidency has more power in this area which is why it could promote an aggressive stance toward the United Nations and encourage withdrawal from UNESCO with little impunity. Chapter 1 deals with American society after 1945. It shows how the ground was set for the rise of Reagan and the New Right as America moved from a strong affinity with New Deal liberalism to a new form of conservatism, which the New Right and Reagan epitomised. Chapter 2 analyses the New Right as a coalition of three distinctive groups: anti-liberals, New Christian Right, and neoconservatives.

  • Tact in Translation Negotiating Trust by the Russian Interpreter, at Home
    Tact in Translation Negotiating trust by the Russian interpreter, at home and abroad Eline Helmer University College London Anthropology of Russia and Interpreting Prof Anne White Dr Seth Graham Declaration I, Eline Helmer, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Eline Helmer 2 Abstract Being the only conversational participant with the ability to follow both sides of a cross- linguistic dialogue gives the interpreter the power to obscure or clarify. Because of heightened mutual dependency, all interpreters need trust to perform their roles. They actively build trust, both between self and client and between clients. In academic linguistic contexts, trust is often regarded as based on impartiality: the more objective and invisible the interpreter, the better and more professional he or she will be. In practice, this approach is not always possible, or desirable. The trust relationship between client and interpreter can also be based on closeness and personal interdependence. Interpreting po-chelovecheski (lit. ‘approaching someone in a humane way’) is a colloquial way for Russian interpreters to describe this approach. This thesis explores the negotiation of trust by Russian interpreters. The Russian translation market’s unregulated character, and historical framing of ‘the foreigner’ as someone to be protected and mistrusted, make for an interesting case to study face-to-face interpreting at all levels of the international dialogue. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with interpreters from St Petersburg, Moscow and Pskov, I argue that becoming ‘someone’s voice’ presents a specific caring relationship.

Despite their impact of restricting the extremes that often surfaced in Nixon’s foreign policy, the president ultimately executed his political strategy in Vietnam to protect his 1972 election bid and ensure his administration’s legacy. This resulted in four more years of bloodshed and U.S. deaths in Indochina.

London, 1 October 2015 DECLARATION I certify that the thesis I present for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work, except where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out by any other person is clearly identified in it).

I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 99,864 words. 2 ABSTRACT What caused the Cold War to end? In the following I examine the puzzle of the fast and peaceful conclusion of the bipolar superpower standoff, and point out the problems this creates for the study of International Relations (IR). I discuss prevailing explanations and point out their gaps, and offer the framework of complexity theory as a suitable complement to overcome the blind spots in IR’s reductionist methodologies. I argue that uncertainty and unpredictability are rooted in an international system that is best viewed as non-linear.

  • The Importance of Osthandel: West German-Soviet Trade and the End of the Cold War, 1969-1991
    The Importance of Osthandel: West German-Soviet Trade and the End of the Cold War, 1969-1991 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Charles William Carter, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Carole Fink, Advisor Professor Mansel Blackford Professor Peter Hahn Copyright by Charles William Carter 2012 Abstract Although the 1970s was the era of U.S.-Soviet détente, the decade also saw West Germany implement its own form of détente: Ostpolitik. Trade with the Soviet Union (Osthandel) was a major feature of Ostpolitik. Osthandel, whose main feature was the development of the Soviet energy-export infrastructure, was part of a broader West German effort aimed at promoting intimate interaction with the Soviets in order to reduce tension and resolve outstanding Cold War issues. Thanks to Osthandel, West Germany became the USSR’s most important capitalist trading partner, and several oil and natural gas pipelines came into existence because of the work of such firms as Mannesmann and Thyssen. At the same time, Moscow’s growing emphasis on developing energy for exports was not a prudent move. A lack of economic diversification resulted, a development that helped devastate the USSR’s economy after the oil price collapse of 1986 and, in the process, destabilize the communist bloc. Against this backdrop, the goals of some West German Ostpolitik advocates—especially German reunification and a peaceful resolution to the Cold War—occurred. ii Dedication Dedicated to my father, Charles William Carter iii Acknowledgements This project has been several years in the making, and many individuals have contributed to its completion.
