The UK and US have a close and valuable relationship not only in terms of intelligence and security but also in terms of our profound and historic cultural and trading links and commitment to freedom, democracy and the rule of law.

Since the end of the Cold War, London has raised the same question every time a new head of state moved into the White House: how special will the so-called special relationship be this time around?

The American position was based on principled opposition to colonialism.

Churchill was enamored of that role and was unwilling, indeed unable, to countenance its end.

Anglo- American nuclear relations were dependent on a strong level of trust between the two governments. The deception employed by President Reagan’s government in concealing American intentions concerning Grenada from the British government broke that trust.

  • Germany and Russia: a Special Relationship
    Alexander Rahr Germany and Russia: A Special Relationship For historical reasons, Germany and Russia are destined to have a special relationship. The success of the policy of reconciliation between the former World War II foes in the past 15 years has helped, in turn, to recon- cile post–Cold War Europe. During the crucial years of Germany’s reunifica- tion, German policymakers enthusiastically applauded the constructive role played by the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the first Russian president, Boris Yeltsin. This goodwill continues today. Opinion polls indicate that Russian elites regard Germany as a true friend and advocate in the West. Moscow does not consider Germany, a nonnuclear state, to be a geopolitical rival in the post- Soviet space as it does, for instance, the United States. Germany is Russia’s most important foreign trading partner. The German business lobby enthusi- astically applauds the new opportunities in the Russian market. Industrialists want Germany to become Russia’s main modernization partner. Having con- ducted business with the Kremlin and through the state apparatus since the 1970s, they welcome the strengthening of the role of the state in Russian do- mestic politics, which could lead to more law and order and less criminality and corruption. Correspondingly, German elites enjoy their country’s role as an advocate of European interests with Russia, particularly in the economic field and often as mediator between Russia and the United States. A powerful second school of thought in German intellectual circles, how- ever, views recent developments in Russia with increased skepticism. Al- though the political and economic relations between Russia and Germany Alexander Rahr is director of the Körber Centre for Russian and CIS affairs at the German Council on Foreign Relations in Berlin.

  • Great Britain's Relationship with the United States Has Long
    ThYounge Origins of Anglo-American Nuclear Strike Planning A Most Special Relationship The Origins of Anglo-American Nuclear Strike Planning ✣ Ken Young Great Britain’s relationship with the United States has long been described as “special,” though whether this characterization is fair or meaningful remains a subject of heated debate.1 For John Charmley, the rela- tionship “had its uses, but for many years...hadbeen more useful to the Americans than it had to the British.”2 Henry Kissinger echoed this judg- ment, acknowledging that “the relationship was not particularly special in my day” but that Britain was important to the United States because “it made it- self so useful.”3 The idea of a special relationship seems a distinctively Churchillian conception, a mythic invocation of a common interest to which Harold Macmillan was happy to subscribe. Both of these British prime minis- ters, of course, had American mothers. Waning (during Edward Heath’s pre- miership) and waxing again (during Margaret Thatcher’s and Tony Blair’s times in ofªce), the special relationship is something that continues to be expressed in the politics of gesture, sentiment, and self-ascribed historic missions. Politicians employ rhetoric, whereas diplomats are more at home with practicalities. Oliver Franks, writing in 1990 about his service as British am- 1. Jeffrey D. McCausland and Douglas T.

  • Before It Was Special: the Gradual Shift in US-Israel Relations in The
    Before It Was Special The Gradual Shift in US-Israel Relations in the Final Years of Eisenhower’s Presidency Amber Taylor Introduction Much has been made of President John F. Kennedy’s private December 1962 statement to Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir that “The United States has a special relationship with Israel in the Middle East really comparable only to what it has with Britain over a wide range of world affairs.”1 Scholars from both countries, as well as others from around the world, have nearly exhausted the topic of America’s “special relationship” with Israel, questioning the prudence of an alliance with such a disputed little state,2 or, more often, attempting to elucidate just when and how that relationship developed. Some, like David Schoenbaum and Salim Yaqub, portray a fundamental continuity in the “special relationship” from the very conception of the State in 1947 during the Truman presidency, through the Eisenhower years, and * This article began in 2013 as a term paper for a course co-taught by Professors Ilan Troen and Tuvia Friling, entitled “Israel: Conflicts and Controversies”, at Brandeis University.

The promise of a new direction in U.S.-Russian relations since President Barak Obama’s London meeting with President Dmitry Medvedev has led to expectations on both sides of the Atlantic that bilateral ties will improve substantially. Such a change would be highly desirable, for it would enhance the odds of success for many U.S. initiatives from the Middle East and Southwest Asia to the Far East and the Pacific. But that improvement will not come easily or quickly. It took years to reach the current nadir in the relationship between Washington and Moscow, and there are still questions remaining on their diverging values and competing interests that have to be resolved.

  • US-Israel Relations •• Fall 2012 •• SAIS DC
    US-Israel Relations •• Fall 2012 •• SAIS DC Prof. Martin Kramer SA.860.746 (01) Nitze Building, N410 The course: The relationship between United States and Israel is often described as “special.” Yet the two countries are not bound by a formal alliance. Leaders of the two countries emphasize shared values and interests, yet the history of the relationship is punctuated by divergences. The relationship has many passionate supporters in both countries – and also passionate detractors. An army of journalists and scholars explores the complex dynamics of the US-Israeli relationship, as a prime case study in the interaction of foreign and domestic politics. Some believe that no relationship between any two states is more important in international relations today. In some respects, they may be right. The objective of this course is to impart a deeper understanding of the history, inner workings, and context of the US-Israel relationship. While many people hold strong opinions about U.S.- Israel ties, there is a widespread ignorance of their precise history, the course of their development, and the way in which they have functioned in times of peace and war. We will work together in this course to acquire an insider’s knowledge of the relationship, through reading, discussion, and writing. And by the end of this course, you’ll be an expert. By way of introduction, I am the Schusterman Visiting Professor at SAIS, as well as the Wexler- Fromer Fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, and the president-designate of Shalem College in Jerusalem. I am a native Washingtonian, and a resident of Israel for more than thirty years.
