C) A World leader in a bipolar world organization 1) Alliance systems on four continents

2 ) The arms race Source: Robert S. Norris and Hans M. Kristensen, "Global nuclear stockpiles, ," Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists 62, no. 4 (July/August 2006), Nuclear warhead stockpiles of the United States and the Soviet Union/Russia,

A Case study: the Cuban missile crisis, 1962 Military surveillance photograph presented to the UN Security Council as evidence

3 ) Military interventions ● Numerous ● US involvement more or less official ● Proxy conflicts (a powerful country uses an ally to fight against an enemy) ● Example: the Korean War, ● Conscription (1.5 M men incorporated); but UN soldiers ● Many North Korean soldiers were Chinese

● Many interventions in the American « backyard » ● Pro-American dictators are backed; receive help from the CIA to fight the communist or democratic opposition ● Example: 1973; Chile; the CIA helps Pinochet overthrow President Allende (a democratically elected socialist president),

D) The 1970s: a turning point regarding the power and the image of the US the Cold War necessities lead the US to trample upon its democratic ideals In Latin America (support to dictatorships in Argentina, Brazil …) In Vietnam (use of napalm, atrocities committed by soldiers …) International protest since the 1960s Ex: 1965; first International Day of Protest; Anti US demonstrations in London, Rome, Brussels, Copenhagen and Stockholm Mostly, national protests (student movement)

John Filo's Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph of Mary Ann Vecchio, a fourteen-year-old runaway, kneeling over the body of Jeffrey Miller after he was shot dead, by the Ohio National Guard on the Kent State University Campus in Vietnam War protesters, 1967, Kansas

the end of the Glorious Thirty Dollar crisis; and lack of confidence in the country’s economy Symbol = 1971, the beakdown of the convertibility regime; the end of the gold-exchange standard based on the dollar New competitors (ex: newly industrialised Asian countries)

New conflict patterns 1979 = Iran hostage crisis (US Embassy in Tehran) Rescue attempt (1980) = failure Embarrassment for the US govt Failure broadcast worldwide New enemy = islamist movement

II : the US, a superpower? A) : a "super-power" in a "New World Order" ? A symbol of the 80s = the Reagan presidencies (elected in 1980 and 1984)

Source:

Time Magazine Cover, April 1983 Strategic Initiative Defense Ground and space- based laser systems to protect the US from attack by strategic nuclear missiles Defense shield/ new nuclear umbrella 1983, in a speech, Reagan branded the USSR an « evil empire », like in the Star Wars movies

Published in Seattle Post November 20th 1987

the situation in the USSR continues to deteriorate 1991 (december) = the USSR officially ceases to exist The US is the only superpower left as the Cold War victor Hopes of a new world order

multilateralism multilateralism = when multiple countries are working together on a given issue Negotiation Consensus 1 country = 1 vote unilateralismOpposed to unilateralism = when a single country imposes its policy Does NOT negotiate; only takes into account its own interests One-sided decision-making process

Gulf War = first legal war Waged with the approval of the UN Large coalition Defense of a small country, under aggression The « world’s policeman » / Pax Americana Unilateralist policy implemented when the country’s interests are threatened Ex: refusal to ratify the Kyoto Protocol (1997) and the treaty creating the International Criminal Court (1998)
