| Summary/Abstract |
Nearly four centuries of American history have witnessed the evolving conflict between two competing sets of values: a belief that acting on behalf of the common good should guide social and political behavior, and a belief that unfettered individual freedom should dominate political and social life. Tracing this conflict from Puritanism through the American Revolution, the Civil War, the rise of industrialism, the Progressive Era, the New Deal, the Great Society, and the conservative revival of the Nixon/Reagan era, the essay reveals this clash of values as pivotal to understanding the narrative of American history, with contemporary political battles crystallizing just how basic this conflict has been.

| Summary/Abstract |
It is the purpose of this article to illustrate how the British government reached its decision to upgrade the Polaris strategic nuclear deterrent in 1973. Using British and American documentation it is demonstrated that the strategic imperatives for upgrading Polaris were fundamental to the project. Existing accounts of the Polaris Improvement Project, however, have not given the appropriate attention to the wider US-UK political differences in this period. By doing so it is shown how in addition to the wider economic, strategic and political factors, this was of paramount significance in the Heath government opting for the 'Super Antelope' method in upgrading Polaris.

| Summary/Abstract |
Though presidential doctrines claim to be broad, forward-looking articulations of national security principles, they are in fact reactive and narrow. They emerge following crises and can subsequently constrain security policy, creating ideal conditions for new crises to emerge. This paper thus argues that in the pursuit of security, presidential doctrines can perpetuate a cycle of instability. Using the Nixon Doctrine as the present case study reveals that the strategy first came as a response to the failure in Vietnam, then rendered the US unable to foresee or manage the events of 1979: the Iranian Revolution and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. These crises subsequently forced a wholesale reassessment of security in the form of the Carter Doctrine. In examining this period of US-Middle East relations, the constricting, reactive nature of doctrines and the concomitant cycles of instability become self-evident.

| Summary/Abstract |
It had survived a series of crises starting with the "gold crisis" of 1971 when it turned out that America could not cover the European payment orders. President Nixon had no choice but to unilaterally dispose of the convertibility of the dollar to gold: the American currency entered a new life of unrestricted emission.
In 2006-2007, the economic base of the huge transnational corporations (about 70 largest banks and companies of the Monsanto and ExxonMobil type) responsible for economic decision-making started crumbling. Why? Because stock indices as indicators of sustainability of American corporations revealed negative trends.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Nixon and Ford administrations celebrated the 1973 Chilean coup and did everything they could to help the dictatorship that followed. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, in particular, supported General Augusto Pinochet's regime and turned a blind eye to its human rights abuses. But how did the Chilean dictatorship view the United States and how did the relationship play out in practice? Drawing on Chilean and U.S. documents, this article argues that in spite of Kissinger's efforts, bilateral relations were actually rather tense. Not only did the Chilean dictatorship continually request more than the Ford administration could offer but Santiago's military leaders also had different conceptions of the Cold War and how to fight it. This, in turn, sheds light on the problems U.S. policy makers faced when dealing with anti-communist Third World allies. It also points to the fragmentation of the global Cold War struggle in the mid-1970s.

| Summary/Abstract |
My article discusses the tilt towards the white minority regimes of southern Africa, specifically Rhodesia that occurred during the Nixon era. The White House approach was shaped by anti-communism and economic interest combined with an apathy for the cause of black liberation. This led to a blatant disregard of the principle of majority rule and open violation of UN sanctions. Furthermore, as Nixon’s actions regarding southern Africa were reflective of core beliefs within the White House of how to approach international politics, Rhodesia provides an illuminative lens regarding the broader imperatives that guided the Nixonian approach to global relations.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Year of Europe initiative, publicly launched by President Richard M. Nixon's Assistant for National Security Affairs, Henry Kissinger, with a speech delivered to an annual Associated Press gathering of prominent publishers, newspaper editors and media executives at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City on 23 April 1973, is primarily remembered as a major policy failure that quickly unravelled amid acrimony and recrimination. 1 Despite its high-sounding aspirations, Kissinger's call for a new sense of purpose and revitalised set of objectives to animate the transatlantic alliance had the contrary effect of provoking European suspicions of American motives, and fears that the forging of a new "Atlantic Charter"-as Kissinger proposed in his speech-would become a device for Washington to reassert its hegemony over its alliance partners, just as there was a growing impetus behind closer moves toward Western European unity, with the European Community (EC) expanding its membership from six to nine at the start of the year, and beginning to search for a collective political voice.

| Summary/Abstract |
A MONOPOLY on organized armed violence present in all civilized states is absent from international relations as a special sphere of human activity: in an absence of the so-called global governance the subjects of international relations are guided by their own interests (as they interpret them).
This does not mean, however, that the world is an arena of "struggle of all against all": several millennia of international relations taught people to maintain peace and sustainable world order without global governance. The international regimes and organizations within these regimes can be described as one of the most efficient instruments of international cooperation. Any regime can be described as a sum-total of international legal norms yet an international regime is present only where and when its norms and rules do regulate the conduct of the subjects of international relations.
