These relations evolved under conditions in which both countries understood and valued the need for cooperation, but also were aware of its limits and the dangers of too close a partnership. U.S. security dealings with Saudi Arabia are an extreme, perhaps unique, case of how security ties unfolded under conditions in which sensitivities to those ties were always a central —oftentimes dominating—consideration. This was especially true in the most delicate area of military assistance. Distinct patterns of behavior by the two countries emerged as a result, patterns that continue to this day. This dissertation examines the first twenty years of the U.S.-Saudi military assistance relationship. It seeks to identify the principal factors responsible for how and why the military assistance process evolved as it did, focusing on the objectives and constraints of both U.S.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .

  • 1 Agenda Ciudadana El Oso, El
    1 AGENDA CIUDADANA EL OSO, EL PUERCOESPIN Y UNA RELACIÓN QUE NO CUAJA Lorenzo Meyer La Obra y las Circunstancias.- Si quien fuera embajador norteamericano en México, Jeffrey Davidow, hubiera planeado el momento de lanzar su libro El oso y el puercoespín. Testimonios de un embajador de Estados Unidos en México, (Grijalbo, 2003), la cosa no le hubiera podido salir mejor. Hoy, la naturaleza de la relación México-Estados Unidos es, de nuevo, uno de los temas que están en el centro de la discusión nacional. Sin embargo, esta discusión tiene una naturaleza más de posición de principios que de análisis de hechos, discusión de generalidades en vez de posibilidades de acciones constructivas. El libro del embajador es una oportunidad de enfocar la discusión de tema tan vital hacia lo concreto, hacia la política como arte de lo posible sin olvidar lo deseable. La razón inmediata por la que hoy se está debatiendo en México la forma que debe tener nuestra política hacia Estados Unidos, está relacionada con el cese/renuncia de Adolfo Aguilar Zinser a su puesto como representante de México en Naciones Unidas. Este incidente ha adquirido proporciones insospechadas porque ha tenido lugar en una circunstancia de agresividad norteamericana y vacío mexicano por la imposibilidad de lograr un consenso sobre cual debe ser la relación con el poderoso vecino del norte. En la actualidad, la frontera mexicano-americana es la región del mundo donde cotidianamente se vive el mayor contraste entre el exceso y la falta de poder, entre la riqueza y la pobreza, entre el instinto de dominio y el instinto de supervivencia, entre la prepotencia y la desconfianza sistemática como políticas nacionales.

  • CHAPTER 1 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS: Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933
    CHAPTER 1 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS: Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933 CHAPTER 1 8 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933 World War I created a diplomatic security crisis for the United States. Under Secretary of State Joseph C. Grew afterwards would describe the era before the war as “diplomatic serenity – a fool’s paradise.” In retrospect, Grew’s observation indicates more the degree to which World War I altered how U.S. officials perceived diplomatic security than the actual state of pre-war security.1 During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Department had developed an effective set of security measures; however, those measures were developed during a long era of trans-Atlantic peace (there had been no major multi-national wars since Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo in 1814). Moreover, those measures were developed for a nation that was a regional power, not a world power exercising influence in multiple parts of the world. World War I fundamentally altered international politics, global economics, and diplomatic relations and thrust the United States onto the world stage as a key world power. Consequently, U.S. policymakers and diplomats developed a profound sense of insecurity regarding the content of U.S. Government information.
