CHANCELLOR FIGL—THEODORE KACHAN Paris, France May 14, 1953 To the Editors, FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL: May I request that you publish this letter in the issue in which you print my article entitled “A Glass of Beer with the Chancellor.” For I would like to add a brief postscript to my story about Chancellor Leopold Figl of Austria. Figl and the men of his coalition deserve much credit for having stood off the Russians and for having firmly dealt with the Communists in Austria during seven years. Al¬ though he is out of office now, his fight is still continuing today.

    The Politician Truth Will Ultimately Prevail Where There Is Pains Taken to Bring It to Light

    The Politician Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains taken to bring it to light. —George Washington Obvious pressures to smother and ignore The Politician since its official publication are unmatched in the history of the American book world. Now that this explosive volume is available to anyone who will read and judge for himself, the hundreds of periodicals which were quoting and misquoting from it regularly for two years have failed to give it a review or a mention of any nature. There have been many case histories showing the influence exerted on the seven thousand regular bookstores in the United States which has resulted in a virtual boycott of the book—even by those stores that wanted to offer it for sale. In spite of these problems, the sale of forty thousand copies in the first six months after publication and the continuing strong sale have been encouraging. The truth, so fully documented, is not easy to keep buried, even by all of the powerful influences that are so determined to hide it.

    TOWSON UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS VOL. L, NO. 1 PART THREE GREATEST HITS: OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TOWSON UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS 49 FALL 2016 MAKE NO DRONES ABOUT IT Make No Drones About It: Evaluating the U.S. Drone Program Based On Domestic Policy Standards Jacob Loewner Abstract: United States policymakers have set strict standards on the parameters of drone use. They have thereby lain out before the public an idealized narrative of the effectiveness of drones, as well as the restraint with which they are used. Beyond this lofty rhetoric, however, the U.S. government has been incredibly reluctant to furnish information on its drone program. To complicate matters further, the rhetoric on the drone program put out by the administration is rarely corroborated by facts on the ground due to frequent civilian deaths, signature strikes, and the targeting of Americans. This piece analyzes the realities of the drone program against the backdrop of the idealized rhetoric laid out by the Obama Administration and finds that the rhetoric is not supported by the facts on the ground. As such, the piece argues for increased transparency and more effective human intelligence to be applied to the drone program. Introduction In January 2015, the United States conducted a drone strike that led to three deaths which had enormous and widespread consequences. A drone strike targeting an Al Qaeda compound on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan led to the death of Ahmed Farouq, an Al Qaeda leader and American

In order to win the Cold War, the leading bureaucrats were split over different approaches needed to achieve policy objectives in Latin America within the hierarchically regularized machinery- but it was not necessarily welcomed by every Latin American nation. There were three problems with Eisenhower’s staff structuring arrangement towards Latin America: (a) politicization of U.S.-Latin American relations from 1953 to 1961 by senior U.S. bureaucrats with an anti-communism agenda for Latin American development; (b) neglect of Latin American requests for public funds before 1959; (c) bureaucratic conflicts over different methods to achieve foreign policy objectives, often resulting in tensions between policy and operations.

  • Postwar Austria and the Jewish Refugees. the Role of the Exile Studies in Coming to Terms with the Past

    Postwar Austria and the Jewish Refugees. the Role of the Exile Studies in Coming to Terms with the Past

    Demokratiezentrum Wien Onlinequelle: www.demokratiezentrum.org source: Unpublished manuscript, Vienna/Lubbock, TX 2004. Sonja Niederacher Postwar Austria and the Jewish Refugees. The Role of the Exile Studies in coming to Terms with the Past In this paper I am going to give an outline of the development of Austrian politics and society. I am focusing on how Austria has dealt with its National Socialist past from the postwar era until today and I am comparing this to the history of Exile Studies. Exile Studies is the discipline that explores the forced emigration of people, mostly Jews, who were persecuted by the Nazis. Unlike Germany where Nazi oppression rose gradually from 1933 onwards, the ‘Anschluss’ Austria’s to the German Reich in March 1938 came all of a sudden over the Jewish community. Approximately 120,000 out of 180,000 people were lucky enough to be able to escape the Nazi persecution in Vienna. The persecution was so brutal that Vienna gathered the status of a Model-city within the German Reich.1 And it affected not only Jews but also political activists, Communists and Social Democrats as well as members and supporters of the Dollfuss and Schuschnigg governments. Some were both, Jewish and political opponents, which put them into even greater danger.2 Most of them fled first to other European countries, to Great Britain, France or the Scandinavia. As the Germans succeeded to occupy big parts of Europe, the refugees had to get overseas, above all to the United States, Latin America, and Palestine. In most countries of Exile, intellectuals, artists and politicians among the refugees built up organizations in order to support their compatriots and also to set a political signal of opposition against Nazi-oppression.
