The phrase is splashed across headlines, it titles academic articles, and it is often used by political pundits to describe the relations between the United States and the Russian Federation.1 The anxiety encapsulated in these renewed hostilities is showcased by book titles such as The New Cold War: Putin’s Russia and the Threat to the West and statements that “we are in a new cold war with Russia, fraught with hot war from Ukraine, to the Baltic regions, to Syria.”2 Much of the rhetoric surrounding the first Cold War included the ideas of the United States and then Soviet Union representing a universal struggle of good vs. evil. The two actors were diametrically opposed in every way possible with incompatible identities, and only one could win. This harsh view of relations seemed to ease with detente in the 1970’s, but the next decade brought the Year of the Spy and renewed hostilities. A new wave of optimism that the two countries would finally be able to work together within the international system came with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Flash forward to 2019 and Russia has been accused of meddling in the 2016 American presidential elections,3 Russia has accused the United States of meddling in the internal affairs of 1 Chris Miller, “The New Cold War’s Warm Friends,” Foreign Policy (blog), March 1, 2019, https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/03/01/the-new-cold-wars-warm-friends/; Simon Shuster “Exclusive: Gorbachev Blames the U.S. For Provoking ‘New Cold War,’” Time, December 11, 2014, http://time.com/3630352/mikhail-gorbachev-vladimir-putin-cold-war/. 2 Edward Lucas and Vladimir Vladimirovič Putin, The New Cold War: Putin’s Threat to Russia and the West, 1.

Chaplin 4 Venezuela and arming the anti-government opposition,4 and the two actors continually come head to head in the Middle East5—all while the country’s intelligence agencies battle it out in the covert world.6 It’s the era of the New Cold War. These events leave scholars and citizens alike with similar questions. Are the United States and Russia destined to be opposed in the international system? Is this truly a fight of good vs. evil that will last until it destroys the earth? At the heart of these questions are issues of state behavior and the foundational elements of what makes up state identity. This commonplace rhetoric indicates concern from the American perspective about what kind of actor Russia really is. Is Russia’s behavior a rejection of liberal measures? However, the anxiety over these questions is a symptom of a larger issue. Why states act the way they do has been a question that has continually driven the field of international relations and has pushed the development of theories that can be used to explain past and current behavior.

Chaplin 5 development of patterns to gain insight into possible future behavior and the analysis of state identity have been focal points for much constructivist research. International relations scholarship looks at the events unfolding within the international scene and asks how states will respond and what forces are at play when developing theories of state behavior. A careful observation and evaluation of state behavior can lead to the conclusion that some states act irrationally according to all conventional political theories encompassed in the three main international relations school of thought: realism, liberalism, and constructivism. However, expanding the reach of these schools of thought and using concepts from other social sciences can aide in the development of theories to explain seemingly irrational behavior. One such theory is that of ontological security. Ontological security theory is a theory within international relations scholarship that builds off sociological concepts to evaluate state behavior. The theory and its application in research, especially in the evaluation of historical cases, is not an attempt to discover previously unknown facts that change the narrative around a particular case or uncover new empirical evidence. Ontological security provides a new way to look at cases, especially ones that have been examined according to conventional analytical categories for far too long. It is a different narrative, explanation, and way of looking at previous and existing conflicts where state behavior doesn’t make sense. By telling a different story about the same event, the theory provides different insights. Ontological security theory has been used by international relations scholars to evaluate state behavior and investigate how actions in the name of security by one state influence and effect the security of other states. Chaplin 6 I seek to build off this foundational work to develop a more in-depth conception of ontological security. Existing literature has approached ontological security as just one singular concept, limiting its ability to provide an in-depth analysis of a wider variety of cases. My conception disaggregates ontological security into its individual parts— ontological security building blocks and the more surface level identities that are built on top of them—in an attempt to more concretely understand ontological security construction. This project looks at two of the most critical and system-defining events of the twentieth century—the Second World War and the collapse of the Soviet Union—and attempts to glean new and deeper understandings of the forces at play in the international system. Not all states and not all people interact with their building blocks in the same way. In the case of the United States, the building blocks were a catalyst to propel the country into its role as global leader. Actors within the U.S. had argued that it was the destiny of the United States to lead the post-war world—determining the values that would define the international system and playing the central role in the construction of the post-war infrastructure. It was the ontological security building blocks and their compatibility with the United States’ post-war identity that allowed the country to step up into its inevitable role of global leader. Conversely, the building blocks acted as a hindrance in the case of post-Soviet Russia. While the country was trying to liberalize and integrate into the western-run

Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.

Prasch 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are like dwarfs standing upon the shoulders of giants, and so able to see more and see further . - Bernard of Chartres My parents, Ben and Rochelle Platter, encouraged a love of learning and intellectual curiosity from an early age. They enthusiastically supported my goals and dreams, whether that meant driving to Hillsdale, Michigan, in the dead of winter or moving me to Washington, D.C., during my junior year of college. They have continued to show this same encouragement and support during graduate school, and I am blessed to be their daughter. My in-laws, Greg and Sue Prasch, have welcomed me into their family as their own daughter. I am grateful to call them friends. During my undergraduate education, Dr. Brad Birzer was a terrific advisor, mentor, and friend.

    'The views expressed are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the US Air Force, Department of Defense or the US Government.'" USAFA Harmon Memorial Lecture #6 “Mr. Roosevelt's Three Wars: FDR as War Leader” Maurice Matloff, 1964 It is a privilege to be invited to the Academy, to participate in the distinguished Harmon Lecture series, and to address the members of the Cadet Wing and their guests from Colorado College. This occasion is particularly pleasurable since it brings back memories of my own introduction to the field of military history during my service in World War II- as a historian on the staff of the Fourth Air Force Headquarters. The early interest of your service in military history has now become a tradition fittingly carried on here in the Academy and in this series, which bears your founder's name. I welcome the opportunity to speak to you this morning on the important subject that your Department of History has selected-one that has long interested me, that has affected all our lives, and that has bearing on your future careers.' Let me begin by going back to March 1, 1945, when a weary President, too tired to carry the ten pounds of steel that braced his paralyzed legs, sat down before the United States Congress to report on the Yalta Conference-the summit meeting in the Crimea with Marshal Stalin and Prime Minister Churchill-from which he had just returned. "I come from the Crimea Conference," he said, "with a firm belief that we have made a good start on the road to a world of peace… "This time we are not making the mistake of waiting until the end of the war to set up the machinery of peace.

Harmon was one of several distinguished Army officers to come from the Harmon family. His father graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1880 and later served as Commandant of Cadets at the Pennsylvania Military Academy. Two older brothers, Kenneth and Millard, were members of the West Point class of 1910 and 1912, respectively. The former served as Chief of the San Francisco Ordnance District during World War II; the latter reached flag rank and was lost over the Pacific during World War II while serving as Commander of the Pacific Area Army Air Forces. Hubert Harmon, born on April 3, 1882, in Chester, Pennsylvania, followed in their footsteps and graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1915. Dwight D. Eisenhower also graduated in this class, and nearly forty years later the two worked together to create the new United States Air Force Academy. Harmon left West Point with a commission in the Coast Artillery Corps, but he was able to enter the new Army air branch the following year.
