America and Romania in the Cold War Zusammenfassung

America and Romania in the Cold War: A Differentiated Detente, 1969-80 Paschalis Pechlivanis (Utrecht University, The Netherlands)

This book examines the US foreign policy of differentiation towards the socialist regimes of Eastern Europe as it was implemented by various administrations towards Ceausescu's Romania from 1969 to 1980.

Drawing from multi-archival research from both US and Romanian sources, this is the first comprehensive analysis of differentiation and shows that Washington's Eastern European policy in the 1970s was more nuanced than the common East vs. West narrative suggests. By examining systemic Cold War factors such as the rise of detente between the two superpowers and the role of agency, the study deals with the dynamics that shaped the evolution of American-Romanian relations after Bucharest's opening towards the West, and the subsequent embrace of this initiative by Washington as an instrument to undermine the unity of the Soviet bloc. Furthermore, it revises interpretations about Carter's celebrated human rights policy based on the Romanian case, pointing towards a remarkable continuity between the three administrations under examination (Nixon, Ford and Carter). By doing so, this study contributes to the field by highlighting a largely neglected aspect of US foreign policy and uncovers the subtleties of Washington's relations with one of the most vigorous actors of the Eastern European bloc.

This book will be of much interest to students of Cold War Studies, US foreign policy, Eastern European politics and International Relations in general.

America and Romania in the Cold War Bewertungen

'An absorbing examination of the US policy of differentiation towards Eastern Europe as manifested in the approach adopted by successive administrations to Romania between 1969 and 1980. Based on detailed research in US and Romanian archives, it provides an incisive analysis of the dynamics that determined the development of US-Romanian relations after Bucharest's decision to pursue an autonomous line in foreign policy. The most graphic illustration of those relations is the fact that Nicolae Ceau?escu made three state visits to the US between 1970 and 1978, an unprecedented record of such visits for the leader of a Warsaw Pact country.'-- Dennis Deletant, Visiting Professor, Georgetown University, USA

'This is a timely study of US-Romanian relations that introduces much-needed nuance into our understanding of both the East-West relationship and the limits on Moscow's control of its satellites in Eastern Europe. By highlighting the continuities between the Nixon, Ford and Carter administrations, Pechlivanis demonstrates how realism and geopolitics consistently trumped human rights as a driving force in Washington's foreign policy, at least insofar as Eastern Europe was concerned. A must-read for students of Cold War history.'-- Prof. Sergey Radchenko, Cardiff University, UK

'Paschalis Pechlivanis has written an important book on the bilateral relationship between the United States and Romania during the Cold War. Based on sources from both countries, he looks into the U.S. policy of differentiation towards the socialist regimes of Eastern Europe as it was implemented by the Nixon, Ford and Carter administrations towards Nicolae Ceau?escu's Romania from 1969 to 1980. The book is well written and closes an important gap in historiography. Pechlivanis provides a lucid narrative. He knows the literature, makes excellent use of U.S. and Romanian sources, and integrates his story into the wider
