The most eloquent expression of Spain’s interest in broadening and enhancing its external action is the Foreign Policy Council set up this year, 2000, on an initiative of the President of the Government, who is its head and driving force. Plans are already under way to boost Spain’s presence in Asia, and it is intended to give greater impetus to relations with sub- Saharan Africa. This effort, which stems from the express objective of restoring Spain to its rightful place on the international scene, should be reflected in our “Strategic Panorama”, which therefore includes certain areas that were not covered specifically in previous editions, although they were partially dealt with in other areas of this study. This broadening process, which will be carried out gradually, has begun with the publication of a new chapter on sub-Saharan Africa and is intended to be followed by another addressing the situation in Asia in next year’s edition. On presenting sub-Saharan Africa, the author of this new chapter con- sidered it appropriate to add to the current outlook some general and his- toric information and considerations that provide a useful perspective and serve as an introduction to this region of the world which had hitherto not been addressed specifically. The Spanish Institute for Strategic Studies’ concern to ensure that the “Panorama” conveys a vision of the current strategic landscape from a truly Spanish point of view and, as such, pays particular attention to the —11— areas of greatest interest to our nation requires us to be particularly sensi- tive to the development of Spanish policy, which is tending towards in- creasingly ambitious external action. THE CO-ORDINATOR OF THE WORKING GROUP —12— CHAPTER ONE A STRATEGIC OVERVIEW OF 2000/2001 A STRATEGIC OVERVIEW OF 2000/2001 By RAMÓN ARMENGOD LÓPEZ Although the figure was charged with symbolism, 2000, the last year of the century and of the millennium, has proved to be another year of tran- sition through which all the currents of this small planet flowed, providing assurances of neither peace nor the future. We actually turned into the third millennium ten years ago, although we will shortly be changing cen- tury: a tiny maladjustment between our solar calendar and the chronome- ter of History. For the western collective conscious, the end and beginning of a millennium is a dramatic date, a moment for something extraordinary to happen, the experience of fast and uncontrollable movement towards something that is not necessarily indefinite progress. It is the embodiment of catastrophism, proof of which can be found in the events of recent years, which causes pessimism to spread among those who announced a “new international order” at the beginning of the nineties. Ignacio Ramonet points out in “Le Monde Diplomatique” that our Euro- American democratic society’s fears of 2000 “are not, as before, political or military (conflicts, wars, terror of atomic weapons), but ecological (imba- lances of nature, environmental upheaval), which affect the personal sphere (health, food) and identity (artificial procreation, genetic engineer- ing), exacerbated by citizens’ concern about the priority governments attach to the interests of economic groups and to corporate egotism ra- ther than common good and general interests”. —15— In the CIDOB yearbook published in 2000, Professor Pere Vilanova writes that “in a short space of time, the world wars have concentrated a huge capacity for change, mustering unthinkable energies” and we now find ourselves without widespread war though with a variety of conflicts. This gives us time to reflect on this global change which has occurred in the international system, albeit without the help of a great, total war, but is a “mutation of which neither the duration, pace or definitive direction are known” and is destroying the parameters of the other international system that shaped the world scene during the 20th century and is now in its death throes. The interaction of ideologies during the long European civil war (the two world wars) in the first half of the century and the world-scale ideolo- gical and military confrontation in the second half spurred or prevented a historic development which is now sprawlingly pursuing another course. Many believe that this course is the famous economic globalisation of which the West is the driving force; that same West led by the United States, the origin of both advanced technology and of a single current of thought, capable of universalising through information technology, through its prestige, system of values, rules and consumption, making it compul- sory both in its own area and in that of the other world civilisations. Civilisations and peoples are reacting more or less favourably to this aim, asserting their cultural, religious and ethnic identities; this fragments, radicalises and triggers conflicts in the international situation that globali- sation sets out to standardise and homogenise. Following a period of what they perceived to be “unforeseen and unpredictable” international events, theorists of 20th century international relations find themselves not only disconcerted by the future, but also incapable of describing today’s world appropriately in terms of an interna- tional system that is “a whole, structured in accordance with a set of con- stant features and variables, with a manner of functioning” (Pere Vilanova). Using the criteria of the millennium that is drawing to a close, they attempt to describe a unipolar order led by American imperial democracy, which is the centre of military supremacy, the global market and technolo- gical development, and the chief guarantor of international legality. This order may evolve towards a multipolar arrangement, with different players on the political and economic scenes. Such a framework is characterised by political and cultural fragmentation and economic and technological unification as described earlier on: midway between these tendencies are —16— United Nations’ attempts at political and ethnic arbitration and the appeals for a “virtuous globalisation” that would entail facing up to the possibilities and risks of the third millennium with a supportive and peaceful effort from all the international players, as the United Nations Secretary-General and Pope John Paul II urge from different angles. The globalisation of risks has, in fact, already occurred. In addition to concern about the destruction of the environment, a process which has speeded up over the past decade (environmental deterioration is a conflict factor between states and peoples; water will be the 21st century’s gold; and climatic changes are the result of unsustainable economic develop- ment) another concern has arisen about our human species. What are we going to do with it? This is not the old fear of nuclear holocaust, which, al- though a real danger in certain regions of the world, has been pushed into the background; rather, it is the pressure that biotechnology and the mani- pulation of our foodstuffs and own genetic code exert on the structure of our biological selves, the possibility that genetic inequality may be added to other existing inequalities. Equally worrying is the pressure on our cultural identity. Information and communication technology and the digital revolution are indeed ush- ering in a new age, irrespective of whether their emergence coincides with the start of the new millennium. The Internet is a debate at world level and can also be a means of individual isolation within natural communities. It raises as many problems as it does possibilities: to whom does the know- ledge belong? How does it affect our privacy? What is the relationship bet- ween dissemination techniques, web management and the ethical and legal order of the virtual universe? With respect to the general strategic outlook, although we do not share the trend of academic thought which hails “confusion” as the paradigm of today’s world of transition, we have no choice but to recognise the grow- ing evidence of new and generally negative currents within the formal poli- tico-juridical structure of international affairs. These currents are like a constellation of states whose connections are growing stronger and stronger: financial crime, arms and drug trafficking, trafficking of humans and protected species, toxic waste, etc., contaminated animal feed, each with its respective mafia.

Paulauskas A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Donald J. Raleigh Reader: David Griffiths Reader: Chad Bryant ABSTRACT MICHAEL V. PAULAUSKAS: A Personal Affair: Diplomatic Negotiations and the Portrayal of Détente in Pravda, 1972-75 (Under the direction of Donald J. Raleigh) This thesis explores how diplomatic relations between the US and the USSR changed during détente , specifically concentrating on the period between the 1972 Moscow Summit and the enactment of the Jackson-Vanik Amendment to the 1974 Trade Bill . I employ transcripts of diplomatic negotiations to investigate the ways that Soviet and American leaders used new personal relationships with their adversaries to achieve thei r foreign policy goals. In order to gain further understanding of the Soviet leadership’s attitudes toward détente, I also examine how the Soviet government, through Pravda, communicated this new, increasingly complex diplomatic relationship to the Soviet public in a nuanced fashion, with multilayered presentations of American foreign policy that included portrayals of individual actors and not simply impersonal groups . ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction………………………………………..…………………………………………. 1 A Cautious Beginning: Soviet -American Relations before the Moscow Summit ..…………...9 The Lifting of the Veil: The 1972 Moscow Summit …………………………..…………….16 The High -Water Mark of Détente: The 1973 US Summit …..………………………….……30 “Nixon’s Last Friend”: The Watergate Scandal …………………………………………..…37 Détente in Crisis: The Jackson-Vanik Amendment ……………..…………………………..45 Conclusion…………………………………………………..……………………………….53 Appendices ……………………………………………..……………………………………57 Bibliography …………………………………………..……………………………………..65 iii Introduction Soviet Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Dobrynin greeted the news of Richard M.

  • Nicaragua: in Brief
    Nicaragua: In Brief Maureen Taft-Morales Specialist in Latin American Affairs September 14, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44560 Nicaragua: In Brief Summary This report discusses Nicaragua’s current politics, economic development and relations with the United States and provides context for Nicaragua’s controversial November 6, 2016, elections. After its civil war ended, Nicaragua began to establish a democratic government in the early 1990s. Its institutions remained weak, however, and they have become increasingly politicized since the late 1990s. Current President Daniel Ortega was a Sandinista (Frente Sandinista de Liberacion Nacional, FSLN) leader when the Sandinistas overthrew the dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza in 1979. Ortega was elected president in 1984. An electorate weary of war between the government and U.S.-backed contras denied him reelection in 1990. After three failed attempts, he won reelection in 2006, and again in 2011. He is expected to win a third term in November 2016 presidential elections. As in local, municipal, and national elections in recent years, the legitimacy of this election process is in question, especially after Ortega declared that no domestic or international observers would be allowed to monitor the elections and an opposition coalition was effectively barred from running in the 2016 elections. As a leader of the opposition in the legislature from 1990 to 2006, and as president since then, Ortega slowly consolidated Sandinista—and personal—control over Nicaraguan institutions. As Ortega has gained power, he reputedly has become one of the country’s wealthiest men. His family’s wealth and influence have grown as well, inviting comparisons to the Somoza family dictatorship.

  • Checklist for the Moscow Summit,Briefing
    65 1 May 20,1988 CHECKLIST FOR THE MOSCOW SUMMIT,BRIEFING From May 29 to June 2,1988, Ronald Reagan will be in Moscow for his fourth meeting with Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev. The first meeting, in Geneva in 1985, restored United States-Soviet summit dialogue after a six-year hiatus caused by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the terminal illness of three Soviet leaders. Reagan and Gorbachev met again in Reykjavik in 1986. That meeting broke down over Soviet insistence that the U.S. abandon its Strategic Defense Initiative. The third summit; .atwhichathe Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty was signed, was held in Washington last December. With this fourth Reagan-Gorbachev summit, Reagan will have met the Soviet leader more times than any American President has met any other Soviet leader. In an important sense, therefore, this summit is almost routine. Dramatic agreements should not be expected, nor are they desirable. In keeping with this the Moscow summit should be deliberately low-key. Reagan should downplay arms control issues, except to insist on full Soviet compliance with the INF Treaty and to insist that any strategic arms agreement must include provisions for strategic defense deployment. Items of U.S. Concern. Reagan should emphasize agenda items reflecting U.S. concern over Soviet expansionism abroad and human rights abuses at home. He forcefully should express U.S. opposition to Soviet support for wars that anti-democratic and anti-Western regimes wage against their own peoples. He should tell Gorbachev that the U.S. expects Moscow to end all involvement in Afghanistan; stop its military aid to Nicaragua and pull Soviet-bloc advisors out of that country; support internationally supervised elections in Mozambique and Angola, along with a withdrawal of Soviet and Cuban troops from the latter country; refrain from encouraging the Philippine communist rebels; and end genocide being committed in Ethiopia by the Soviet client regime of the dictator Mengistu Haile Maria.

    N°2 | February 2021 Structures of Genocide: Making Sense of the New War for Nagorno-Karabakh Joel Veldkamp * “Terrorists we’re fighting and we’re never gonna stop The prostitutes who prosecute have failed us from the start Can you see us?” - System of a Down, “Genocidal Humanoidz” On December 10, 2020, Turkey and Azerbaijan held a joint victory parade in Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku. Turkey’s president Tayyib Recep Erdogan and Azerbaijan’s president Ilham Aliyev stood together on a dais in front of twenty Turkish and Azerbaijani flags, as 3,000 members of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces marched by, displaying military hardware captured from their Armenian foes. Military bands played the anthems of the old Ottoman Empire, the Turkish dynasty that ruled much of the Middle East in the name of Islam until World War I. Azerbaijani jets roared over the capital, dropping smoke in the green, blue and red colors of the Azerbaijani flag. Certainly, there was much to celebrate. In forty-four days of brutal combat, Azerbaijani forces reversed the humiliating defeat they experienced at Armenia’s hands in 1994 and recaptured much of the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Turkey worked with Azerbaijan hand-in-glove during the war, supplying it with weapons, providing intelligence and air support, and bringing in thousands of battle-hardened fighters from Syria to fight on the ground.1 The victory opened up the possibility that the hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis driven from Armenian-occupied territory in the first Karabakh war, many of whom had lived for decades in squalid camps in Baku and its environs, would be able to go home.2 It was an impressive vindication of the alliance of these two Turkish states, exemplifying their alliance’s motto, “two states, one nation.” But a darker spirit was on display during the parade.

  • About the Results of the Moscow Summit and Their Impact on U.S
    About the Results of the Moscow Summit and Their Impact on U.S. Foreign Policy and Soviet-American Relations. As experience shows, final results of such events as the Soviet-American summits become apparent over more or less extended period of time. So far, we can only talk about preliminary results. Among them, the following are the most significant. First of all, the summit brought substantial political and diplomatic results. It is important that we did not allow any breaks in the process of dialog, even though it was possible and even probably due to the U.S. political calendar (the electoral campaign, the situation in which the outgoing administration now finds itself—according to the American political terminology—the state of “lame duck”). Thanks to the summit, the year 1988 did not fall out of the process of normalization of Soviet-American relations; to the contrary, it already became an important marker in their development, which help ensure the continuity: both most likely presidential candidates are simply forced by the logic of events itself to speak positively about Soviet-American relations, about disarmament and other important issues, which were on the agenda. Thus it is as if they are “taking the baton” from Reagan. Furthermore, the preparation for the summit, the summit itself, and the subsequent realization of those agreements, which were achieved or outlined there, do not just cement the constructive changes in Soviet-American relations, but also give them a new impulse for further development in all the spheres— disarmament, resolution of regional problems, and improvement of bilateral relations.
