U.S. Foreign Policy Toward the Third World: A Post-cold War Assessment

A Post-cold War Assessment

By: Jurgen Ruland,Theodor Hanf,Eva Manske

The contributors to this work examine the evolution of U.S. foreign policy toward the Third World, and the new policy challenges facing developing nations in the post-Cold War era. The book incorporates the key assessment standards of U.S. foreign policies directed toward critical regions, including Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. Through this region-by-region analysis, readers will get the information and insight needed to fully understand U.S. policy objectives - especially with regard to economic and security issues in the wake of 9/11 - vis a vis the developing world. The book outlines both successes and failures of Washington, as it seeks to deal with the Third World in a new era of terrorism, trade, and democratic enlargement. It also considers whether anti-Western sentiment in Third World regions is a direct result of U.S. foreign policies since the end of the Cold War.

Coexistence in Wartime Lebanon

Decline of a State and Rise of a Nation

By: Theodor Hanf

For fifteen years, Lebanon's disparate confessional groups waged a bloody and protracted civil war. Still today, power-sharing between Sunni, Shi'i, Christian and Druze groups is a precarious balance, greatly affected by and in turn affecting events across the Middle East. But even during times of conflict, Lebanon's communities have managed a modicum of coexistence: agreeing on the importance of maintaining the Lebanese state and sharing the fear of being the player left standing in a macabre game of musical chairs. Tracing the origins of the civil war, Theodor Hanf shows that it was primarily a surrogate war over Palestine which escalated into a conflict between the diverse Lebanese communities. Hanf's central theme is the problem of conflict and conflict regulation between these groups, a theme which continues to have resonance over two decades since the end of the civil war. This highly influential book - now available in a paperback edition - delves into vital issues, such as how conflicts were peacefully regulated before the war, and how the country came to be a battlefield for proxy wars and analyses the prospects for permanent coexistence.

Lebanon in Limbo

Postwar Society and State in an Uncertain Regional Environment

By: Theodor Hanf,Nawwāf Salām

Twelve years after the wars ended, the country of Lebanon entered a state of limbo. It was no longer in the center of the Middle Eastern conflicts, yet it remained under the impact of the region's conflicts. Ethno-religious communities persisted, with a modernization of their co-existence. However, the entrepreneurial middle classes had become weakened by emigration, and social cleavages deepened. Considerable achievements in reconstruction were followed by economic stagnation. The danger of authoritarianism by diffusion could not be overlooked. In this reprint - originally published in 2003 - a representative survey shows what lessons the Lebanese learned from the war. They refused the use of violence and war. Their willingness to co-exist in diversity increased. The citizens have not particularly valued their political leaders, yet they remain democratic by conviction.
