The Control Agenda is a sweeping account of the history of the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT), their rise in the Nixon and Ford administrations, their downfall under President Carter, and their powerful legacies in the Reagan years and beyond.
Matthew Ambrose pays close attention to the interplay of diplomacy, domestic politics, and technology, and finds that the SALT process was a key point of reference for arguments regarding all forms of Cold War decision making. Ambrose argues elite U.S. decision makers used SALT to better manage their restive domestic populations and to exert greater control over the shape, structure, and direction of their nuclear arsenals.
Ambrose also asserts that prolonged engagement with arms control issues introduced dynamic effects into nuclear policy. Arms control considerations came to influence most areas of defense decision making, while the measure of stability SALT provided allowed the examination of new and potentially dangerous nuclear doctrines. The Control Agenda makes clear that verification and compliance concerns by the United States prompted continuous reassessments of Soviet capabilities and intentions; assessments that later undergirded key U.S. policy changes toward the Soviet Union. Through SALT’s many twists and turns, accusations and countercharges, secret backchannels and propaganda campaigns the specter of nuclear conflict loomed large.

Описание: <p>In recent decades the debate on nuclear weapons has focused overwhelmingly on proliferation and non-proliferation dynamics. In a series of <em>Wall Street Journal<em> articles, however, George Shultz, William Perry, Henry Kissinger, and Sam Nunn called on governments to rid the world of nuclear weapons, helping to put disarmament back into international security discussions. More recently, U.S. president Barack Obama, prominent U.S. congressional members of both political parties, and a number of influential foreign leaders have espoused the idea of a world free of nuclear weapons. </p> <p>Turning this vision into reality requires an understanding of the forces driving disarmament forward and those holding it back. <em>Slaying the Nuclear Dragon<em> provides in-depth, objective analysis of current nuclear disarmament dynamics. Examining the political, state-level factors that drive and stall progress, contributors highlight the challenges and opportunities faced by proponents of disarmament. These essays show that although conditions are favourable for significant reductions, numerous hurdles still exist. Contributors look at three categories of states: those that generate momentum for disarmament; those with policies that are problematic for disarmament; and those that actively hinder progress—whether openly, secretly, deliberately, or inadvertently. </p> <p>Nuclear deterrence was long credited with preventing war between the two major Cold War powers, but with the spread of nuclear technology, threats have shifted to other state powers and to non-state groups. <em>Slaying the Nuclear Dragon<em> addresses an urgent need to examine nuclear disarmament in a realistic, non-ideological manner. </p>

Автор: Melzer Scott Название: Gun Crusaders: The Nra S Culture War ISBN: 0814764509 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780814764503 Издательство: Wiley EDC Рейтинг: Цена: 28590.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Gun Crusaders is a fascinating inside look at how the four-million member National Rifle Association and its committed members come to see each and every gun control threat as a step down the path towards gun confiscation, and eventually socialism. Enlivened by a rich analysis of NRA materials, meetings, leader speeches, and unique in-depth interviews with NRA members, Gun Crusaders focuses on how the NRA constructs and perceives threats to gun rights as one more attack in a broad liberal cultural war. Scott Melzer shows that the NRA promotes a nostalgic vision of frontier masculinity, whereby gun rights defenders are seen as patriots and freedom fighters, defending not the freedom of religion, but the religion of individual rights and freedoms.

Описание: This edited volume takes stock of the state of research and policy on the issue of small arms and light weapons, ten years after the UN first agreed to deal with the problem.
NA VE: Natural and unaffected; innocent; unsophisticated; ingenuous; having or showing a lack of experience, judgment, or information; absence of artificiality;
HOPE: To want and expect something to happen or be true; grounds for believing that something good may happen
NAIVE HOPE: The willingness to believe the best in and of people; tending to trust too easily.
When you believe in the basic goodness of people, and you trust that God will see your heart and be there for you, you may put up with anything in the hope and belief that this will eventually come to pass. And that things will end well. But what do you do when that does not happen?
The Human Spirit can survive many events, many scars. As a Christian wife, a born-again believer living with a proclaimed 'Christian' yet abusive husband, the prescribed answer is to love, forgive, submit and to give more, isn't it?
Or is it?
How long do you have to put up with it?
How much do you have to keep forgiving?
What does it take to make the change that you know must take place?
Marni discovers her own answers. This is the story of how one young misguided girl of good heart and misplaced na ve hope escaped a fate that she did not deserve. Growing into womanhood, she fights to keep her faith. Along the way she discovers that the 'God-fearing' man she married is not going to change, nor do the right thing. The shock of his final betrayals and her enforced eviction activates events that she could not possibly have foreseen. She eventually triumphs to reclaim her self-worth, her sense of self, and her spirit despite this man's driving desire to destroy her and the depths she is dragged into.
Share the journey of her twenty year commitment to a 'Christian' and his tyranny through control, domination, violence and fear, and her eventual self-discoveries before she can face her abuser without quaking.
And of the interesting results that follow.
