Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract The crisis following China's intervention in the Korean War led to a significant rift between the United States and the Commonwealth at the United Nations (UN). This article examines the conditions under which the Commonwealth became united and was able to directly influence UN decision-making. It concludes that, when united, the Commonwealth could not easily be ignored by Washington, and thereby acted as an agent of constraint upon the Western superpower.

Ending the Korean war: reconsidering the importance of Eisenhower's election / Barnes, Robert   Journal Article
Barnes, Robert Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Historical interpretations of the end of the Korean War traditionally emphasise the importance of the election of President Dwight D Eisenhower, the leadership change in the Soviet Union, and the PRC's desire to focus on modernisation compounded by the failure to achieve its war aims. Robert Barnes, however, argues that these explanations fail to take into account a key additional factor: the UN negotiations in late 1952 regarding the thorny issue of the post-war fate of prisoners of war. It was the eventual adoption of a resolution promoted by India and supported by the Commonwealth, and its final acceptance by both belligerent sides, that paved the way for a ceasefire.
