'Getting the Worst of Both Worlds': John F. Kennedy and Decolonization: by Robert Rakove

12:00 pm (location: Mershon Center for International Security Studies, 1501 Neil Ave)

Robert Rakove's project, "Befriending the Nonaligned: Kennedy, Johnson, and the Neutralist Powers," examines the efforts of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations to create lasting, constructive relations with leading states of the non-aligned world. Rakove defines non-aligned countries as those who declared neutrality during the Cold War, including India, Indonesia, Egypt, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Tanzania, and Yugoslavia. He will examine how U.S. foreign aid was used in forming international relationships during the 1960s.
