Abstract

The first historical interpretation of the congressional response to the entire Cold War. Using a wide variety of sources, including several manuscript collections opened specifically for this study, the book challenges the popular and scholarly image of a weak Cold War Congress, in which the unbalanced relationship between the legislative and executive branches culminated in the escalation of the U.S. commitment in Vietnam, which in turn paved the way for a congressional resurgence best symbolized by the passage of the War Powers Act in 1973. Instead, understanding the congressional response to the Cold War requires a more flexible conception of the congressional role in foreign policy, focused on three facets of legislative power: the use of spending measures; the internal workings of a Congress increasingly dominated by subcommittees; and the ability of individual legislators to affect foreign affairs by changing the way that policymakers and the public considered international questions.

Abstract

Les États-Unis et l'islam : une histoire plus longue qu'il n'y paraît. Qui, surtout, ne se résume pas à l'affrontement entre deux « civilisations » sur les champs de bataille d'Irak ou dans les guérillas du Proche-Orient. C'est également une histoire pacifique et politique, faite de conflits ou de divergence d'intérêts, économiques, stratégiques, autour du formidable enjeu de l'approvisionnement en pétrole. C'est enfin une affaire domestique, puisque l'Amérique compte une minorité non négligeable de musulmans. Ce livre est la première synthèse qui prenne en compte toutes les facettes du drame qui se joue aujourd'hui aux quatre coins du monde.

Abstract

Building on Schmitz's earlier work, Thank God They're on our Side, this is an examination of American policy toward right-wing dictatorships from the 1960s to the end of the Cold War. During the 1920s American leaders developed a policy of supporting authoritarian regimes because they were seen as stable, anti-communist, and capitalist. After 1965, however, American support for these regimes became a contested issue. The Vietnam War served to undercut the logic and rationale of supporting right-wing dictators. By systematically examining US support for right-wing dictatorships in Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Asia, and bringing together these disparate episodes, this book examines the persistence of older attitudes, the new debates brought about by the Vietnam War, and the efforts to bring about changes and an end to automatic US support for authoritarian regimes.
