Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a 37-year old assistant to an Atomic Energy Commissioner in 1951, at the outset of a public career already spanning four decades, Gerard Smith journeyed to Eniwetok to witness an atmospheric nuclear test. He later characterized the experience as 'having a look at Hell.' He has dedicated his career to the cause of enhancing understanding of the risks posed by nuclear weapons and to seeking practical, non-utopian measures to limit these risks. In this volume an extraordinary group of similarly committed men reflect upon their joint endeavors to foster nuclear understanding and restraint. The contributors are uniformly conscious of the incompleteness of their task but united in their belief that the quest must continue. The historical insights and personal anecdotes that they record bear compelling witness to the intelligence, integrity, moral gravity and steadfastness of Gerard Smith.

Download or read book National Security Entrepreneurs and the Making of American Foreign Policy written by Vincent Boucher and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the advent of the contemporary US national security apparatus in 1947, entrepreneurial public officials have tried to reorient the course of the nation's foreign policy. Acting inside the National Security Council system, some principals and high-ranking officials have worked tirelessly to generate policy change and innovation on the issues they care about. These entrepreneurs attempt to set the foreign policy agenda, frame policy problems and solutions, and orient the decision-making process to convince the president and other decision makers to choose the course they advocate. In National Security Entrepreneurs and the Making of American Foreign Policy Vincent Boucher, Charles-Philippe David, and Karine Prémont develop a new concept to study entrepreneurial behaviour among foreign policy advisers and offer the first comprehensive framework of analysis to answer this crucial question: why do some entrepreneurs succeed in guaranteeing the adoption of novel policies while others fail? They explore case studies of attempts to reorient US foreign policy waged by National Security Council entrepreneurs, examining the key factors enabling success and the main forces preventing the adoption of a preferred option: the entrepreneur's profile, presidential leadership, major players involved in the policy formulation and decision-making processes, the national political context, and the presence or absence of significant opportunities. By carefully analyzing significant diplomatic and military decisions of the Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton administrations, and offering a preliminary account of contemporary national security entrepreneurship under presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, this book makes the case for an agent-based explanation of foreign policy change and continuity.
Download or read book Competitive Arms Control written by John D. Maurer and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential history of the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) during the Nixon Administration How did Richard Nixon, a president so determined to compete for strategic nuclear advantage over the Soviet Union, become one of the most successful arms controllers of the Cold War? Drawing on newly opened Cold War archives, John D. Maurer argues that a central purpose of arms control talks for American leaders was to channel nuclear competition toward areas of American advantage and not just international cooperation. While previous accounts of the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) have emphasized American cooperative motives, Maurer highlights how Nixon, National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger, and Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird shaped negotiations, balancing their own competitive interests with proponents of cooperation while still providing a coherent rationale to Congress. Within the arms control agreements, American leaders intended to continue deploying new weapons, and the arms control restrictions, as negotiated, allowed the United States to sustain its global power, contain communism, and ultimately prevail in the Cold War.
