Undoing the Liberal World Order

Progressive Ideals and Political Realities Since World War II

By: Leon Fink

In the decades following World War II, American liberals had a vision for the world. Their ambitions would not stop at the water’s edge: progressive internationalism, they believed, could help peoples everywhere achieve democracy, prosperity, and freedom. Chastened in part by the failures of these grand aspirations, in recent years liberals and the Left have retreated from such idealism. Today, as a beleaguered United States confronts a series of crises, does the postwar liberal tradition offer any useful lessons for American engagement with the world? The historian Leon Fink examines key cases of progressive influence on postwar U.S. foreign policy, tracing the tension between liberal aspirations and the political realities that stymie them. From the reconstruction of post-Nazi West Germany to the struggle against apartheid, he shows how American liberals joined global allies in pursuit of an expansive political, social, and economic vision. Even as liberal internationalism brought such successes to the world, it also stumbled against domestic politics or was blind to the contradictions in capitalist development and the power of competing nationalist identities. A diplomatic history that emphasizes the roles of social class, labor movements, race, and grassroots activism, Undoing the Liberal World Order suggests new directions for a progressive American foreign policy.

Dying to Control

The 21st Century Dilemma

By: Leon R. Hayduchok

The story of Adam and Eve one of the oldest and most widely cherished stories in human history has been misused and abused in the battleground of America's culture war. Dating back to the Scopes Trial of 1925, evolutionists and creationists have been tearing this story apart in their fight over the origin of man, losing sight of one significant detail: the story of Adam and Eve was not written as a scientific treatise but as an account of human nature and our relationship with God and one another. Dying to Control offers a fresh and provocative look at the Garden of Eden drama, revealing how the story of Adam and Eve is our story. This penetrating work exposes our obsession with control and the extreme lengths we go to preserve and promote the self. This overdue commentary on American culture offers a compelling perspective on how to experience the fullness of life in a world dying to control.

Foundations for Health Improvement

Productive Epidemiological Public Health Research 1919-1998

By: Walter Werner Holland,Leon Gordis

This publication seeks to provide an overview of epidemiological public health research (EPHR) undertaken in the UK and the United States during the twentieth century, and to show how this work has contributed to the development of public health policy. Other aspects discussed include: the structure, organisation and funding of public health research in the two countries during this period, key political and social concerns at this time, factors influencing the quantity and quality of EPHR and possible reasons for the variability of research output. In addition, the annexes highlight the political aspects of EPHR by looking at two specific examples: research carried out in the former German Democratic Republic before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall; and the investigation of BSE in the UK.
