Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. In writing about international affairs in the 1960s, historians have naturally focused on the Cold War. The decade featured perilous confrontations between the United States and the Soviet Union over Berlin and Cuba, the massive buildup of nuclear stockpiles, the escalation of war in Vietnam, and bitter East-West rivalry throughout the developing world. As the world historical force of globalization has quickened and deepened, however, historians have begun to seethat many of the global challenges that we face todayBeyond the Cold War examines how the administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson responded to this changing internationallandscape. To what extent did U.S. leaders understand these changes? How did they prioritize these issues alongside the geostrategic concerns that dominated their daily agendas and the headlines of the day? How successfully did Americans grapple with these long-range problems, with what implications for the future? What lessons lie in the efforts of Johnson and his aides to cope with a new and inchoate agenda of problems? By reconsidering the 1960s, this work suggests a new researchagenda predicated on the idea that the Cold War was not the only - or perhaps even the most important - feature of international life in the postwar period. As globalization has deepened in recent years, historians have begun to see that many of the global challenges we face today - energy dependence, epidemic diseases, massive increases in trade and monetary flows, for example - first drew serious attention in the 1960s. This book examines how the Johnson presidency responded to these problems and draws out the lessons for today. This item is printed on demand.
