| Summary/Abstract |
The early setbacks suffered by the Royal Navy during the Second World War have long coloured historians' assessments of the navy's standing during the interwar years, with a consensus settling around a narrative of decline. Yet Joseph A Maiolo argues that, following the strategic victory of the First World War, the Admiralty manoeuvred with great agility to respond to, and curtail, the rise of other naval powers such as the US, Japan and Germany without setting in motion another naval arms race. The result was that by 1939, the Royal Navy was well positioned to play its part in the second global conflict of the twentieth century

| Summary/Abstract |
This essay reassesses the process whereby between August 1914 and the end of 1917, all the most powerful countries of the day became belligerents in the First World War. It examines the three waves of decisions to intervene and offers generalizations about the process, comparing the early twentieth century with more recent periods.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article uses a close history of the early years of the Fulbright program to explore the emergence of the global cultural program of the postwar U.S. state. While the Fulbright program has commonly been seen as either an exceptional example of U.S. global benevolence, or as part and parcel of the Cold War cultural offensive, I argue that the program emerged from a unique moment of cultural globalism in the liminal period between the end of World War II and the onset of the Cold War. Tracing the history of the exchange program to its curious origins in the foreign disposal of military surplus material, I show how both the practice and ideology of liberal educational exchange emerged from the global conflict with fascism, and reveal the nationalist assumptions and power-politics that underpinned the first U.S. state attempt to create a global flow of culture.

| Summary/Abstract |
Atomic war means national suicide. The ultimate delusion of the atomic era is the notion that national suicide is a feasible means of defense and how apparently sensible and sane men could drift into such beliefs.
