The Battle of the Atlantic and Signals Intelligence U–Boat Situations and Trends 1941–1945

This book contains the U-boats situations and trends written by the staff of the Admiralty’s Operational Intelligence Centre during the Second World War. Based largely on communications intelligence the U-boat situations and trends were designed to inform a small number of senior officers and high officials of the latest events and developments in the Allied war against the U-boats. The Battle of the Atlantic and the war against the U-boats was the longest and the most complex naval battle in history. In this huge conflict which sprawled across the oceans of the world the U-boats sank 2 828 Allied merchant ships while the Allies destroyed more than 780 German U-boats.

A Competitive Assessment Of The U.S. Civil Aircraft Industry

A Competitive Assessment Of The U.S. Civil Aircraft Industry

In 1985 the U. S. aerospace industry achieved a $13. 1 billion trade surplus and contributed $89. 2 billion in shipments to the U. S. economy. Without·aerospace the U. S. trade balance in high technology industries would-for the first time-have fallen into a deficit. Civil aircraft play a significant role in the U. S. aerospace industry and U. S. civil aircraft have dominated world markets (particularly the large transport segment) since the development of jet engine aircraft in the 1950s. This dominance has recently been challenged by the emergence of the European Airbus Industrie which has achieved a significant market position in wide-body aircraft and appears committed to the development of a diversified family of civil aircraft. Industry observers are also concerned about the possibility of Japan entering the large transport competition. In this assessment the U. S. Department of Commerce examines the prospects for continued international competitiveness of U. S. civil aircraft. The report identifies key factors that will determine the shape of future competition develops alternative scenarios for the future and presents-a framework within which developments can be monitored and measured. | A Competitive Assessment Of The U.

U.S.-Japanese Energy Relations Cooperation And Competition

Originally published in 1984 this collection of original papers highlights the major problems and challenges that lie ahead in U. S. Japanese energy relations. Energy cooperation both through joint projects and bilateral planning has become an important barometer of the U. S. diplomatic relationship with Japan as evidenced by the high-level U. S. Japan Energy Working Group set up in January 1984 following Prime Minister Nakasone's visit to Washington. Contributions to this book detail the problems posed by energy security differences and uncertain oil markets; U. S. crude oil exports to Japan; and nuclear coal solar-energy; and they consider the prospects for conflict over investment in Siberia and Asia | U. S.

The Future of U.S. Empire in the Americas The Trump Administration and Beyond

The Future of U.S. Empire in the Americas The Trump Administration and Beyond

With the rise of President Trump many are coming to question where the United States (U. S. ) is headed and whether we might witness an imperial decline under Trump. Social scientists largely recognize the contemporary hegemonic position of the U. S. at the global level but questions persist concerning the future of the U. S. Empire. With the Trump Administration at the helm these questions are all the more salient. Drawing on the expertise of a panel of contributors and guided by Michael Mann’s model of power this book critically interrogates the future of U. S. global power and provides insights on what we might expect from the U. S. Empire under Trump. Recognizing that U. S. imperial power involves an array of sources of power (ideological economic military and political) the contributors analyze the Trump Administration’s approach towards nine countries in the Western Hemisphere and five sets of global policies including inter-American relations drugs trade the environment and immigration. Each case presents a historical look at the trajectory of relations as they have developed under Trump and what we might expect in the future from the administration. The Future of U. S. Empire in the Americas will be of great interest to students and scholars of U. S. foreign policy Foreign Policy Analysis political sociology and American politics. | The Future of U. S.

Soviet Perceptions Of The Oil Factor In U.s. Foreign Policy The Middle Eastgulf Region

Soviet Perceptions Of The Oil Factor In U.s. Foreign Policy The Middle Eastgulf Region

How Soviet leaders perceive U. S. intentions capabilities and actions plays an important role in the formation of the Soviet Union's foreign policy and its relations with the United States. This book focuses on one set of Soviet perceptions-how the oil shortages and subsequent developments influenced U. S. policy in the Middle East-Gulf region and what the implications of that policy are for the Soviet Union. Although the 1973 energy crisis and related events all represented severe blows to Washington there were costs for Moscow as well; negative developments for one superpower says Dr. Sawyer do not necessarily result in unadulterated gains for the other. Emphasizing this theme he assesses Soviet perceptions of the 1973 energy crisis and the intensification of U. S. interest in the Middle East-Gulf region; the Camp David accords and the Egyptian-Israeli Treaty; the impact of the Iranian revolution on U. S. and Soviet positions in the region; the effect of the Soviet invasion of Afganistan on U. S. policy; the Iraqi-Iranian war; and the Soviet response to Washington's concern over U. S. energy vulnerability. | Soviet Perceptions Of The Oil Factor In U. s. Foreign Policy The Middle Eastgulf Region

The China Quandary Domestic Determinants Of U.s. China Policy 19721982

The China Quandary Domestic Determinants Of U.s. China Policy 19721982

Although the United States has established formal diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China (PRC) achieving major advances in economic and cultural relations it continues to be bedevilled by serious dilemmas regarding such issues as future relations with Taiwan U. S. PRC military ties the extent and type of U. S. aid to China and the need for secrecy in U. S. China policy versus traditional American demands for open diplomacy. U. S. scholars have been clear about the international factors influencing current U. S. PRC relations; however the domestic political factors that have contributed in a major way to the creation of the dilemmas we face in formulating China policy today remain poorly understood. This book concentrates on these domestic determinants of recent U. S. China policy. Pointing to the compromises and contradictions in policy choices made by leaders who have sharply differing conceptions of the goals of policy and their appropriate implementation Dr. Sutter draws on a wide array of recent U. S. government publications and more than one hundred interviews with officials of the Carter and Reagan administrations and Congress to examine differences in views divergencies in policy approaches and the confusion that results. He specifically treats key issues such as the Taiwan Relations Act and possible U. S. arms sales to China as well as summarizing and assessing domestic and foreign policy interests of the United States in relation to China and offering policy options for the problems that lie ahead. | The China Quandary Domestic Determinants Of U. s.

Water Security and U.S. Foreign Policy

Water Security and U.S. Foreign Policy

The prosperity and national security of the United States depend directly on the prosperity and stability of both partner and competing countries around the world. Today U. S. interests are under rising pressure from water scarcity extreme weather events and water-driven ecological change in key geographies of strategic interest to the U. S. Those water-driven stresses are undermining economic productivity weakening governance systems and fraying social cohesion in scores of countries and in the process undermining the vitality of rural livelihoods fostering local and ethnic conflicts driving broad migratory movements and contributing to the growth of insurgencies and terrorist networks. While the U. S. intelligence community has steadily expanded natural resource concerns in their global threat analyses our overseas development assistance remains locked into provision of water and hygienic services rather than responding to the full sweep of global water challenges including governance and policy failures growing conflicts over water and the need for promoting sustainable transboundary water arrangements in partner countries. A fundamental departure from the past is urgently needed. Based on 18 case studies Water Security and U. S. Foreign Policy provides an analytical framework to help policy makers scholars and researchers studying the intersection of U. S. foreign policy with the environment and sustainability issues interpret the impacts of water-driven social disruptions on the stability of partner governments and U. S. interests abroad. The book also delivers specific recommendations to reorient U. S. development and diplomatic engagements that can forestall and prevent social disruptions and ensuing threats to U. S. prosperity and national security.

The Policy of the Ford Administration Toward Cuba Carrot and Stick

The Policy of the Ford Administration Toward Cuba Carrot and Stick

This book presents new aspects of the U. S. Cuba policy during Gerald R. Ford’s presidency (August 9 1974‒January 20 1977). Based in governmental and other sources from the U. S. and Cuba the book examines how the Ford administration broke with Nixon’s hostile policy when the diplomatic and economic isolation of Cuba was ended in the OAS even when the U. S. economic blockade prevailed. In line with the detente policy towards the USSR the Ford administration strived to normalize the relations with Cuba through secret discussions. However the Cuban involvement in the Angolan civil war ended this process of normalization and the U. S. returned to a confrontational policy. Within this framework counterrevolutionary groups in the U. S. could act more or less with impunity towards Cuba but also against Cuban and third-country targets both within and outside the U. S. The book describes the oscillating Cuba policy that was the hallmark of the Ford administration. The Cuban perspective adopted will complement and enrich the knowledge of the U. S. policy toward Cuba during Gerald Ford’s presidency. It is of relevance to everyone interested in the issue and especially for students and researchers within the disciplines of History and Political Science. | The Policy of the Ford Administration Toward Cuba Carrot and Stick

Avoiding the ‘Thucydides Trap’ U.S.-China Relations in Strategic Domains

Avoiding the ‘Thucydides Trap’ U.S.-China Relations in Strategic Domains

As the relationship between China and the United States becomes increasingly complex and interdependent leaders in Beijing and Washington are struggling to establish a solid common foundation on which to expand and deepen bilateral relations. In order to examine the challenges facing U. S. China relations the National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR) and the Institute for Global Cooperation and Understanding (iGCU) at Peking University brought together a group of leading experts from China and the United States in Beijing and Honolulu to develop a conceptual foundation for U. S. China relations into the future tackling the issues in innovative ways under the banner of U. S. China Relations in Strategic Domains. The resulting chapters assess U. S. China relations in the maritime and nuclear sectors as well as in cyberspace and space and through the lens of P2P and mil-to-mil exchanges. Scholars and students in political science and international relations are thus presented with a diagnosis and prognosis of the relations between the two superpowers. | Avoiding the ‘Thucydides Trap’ U.
