Slow Tango With a Prince

With the collapse of the old ideological paradigms at the end of the Cold war, new ideas are required to understand how we ended up in new era of confrontation and renewed Russo-American Cold War. This ground-breaking study examines how the ideational legacies of the original Cold War shape the new conflict. This sophisticated and erudite study is essential reading for anyone trying to make sense of it all. – Professor Richard Sakwa, University of Kent, UK

Focusing on Cold War legacies and mindsets, David Parker provides a compelling account of US-Russia interactions following American decisions to expand NATO, promote democracy, and negotiate the START agreement. The Cold War may be over, but its ideational legacy lives on and contributes to shaping policy. – Professor Andrei P. Tsygankov, International Relations and Political Science, San Francisco State University, US
　
David Parker’s explanation of how ideational legacies formed out of the experiences of elites and policy-makers in the Cold War have shaped US attitudes and actions towards Russia since it ended is a distinctive and valuable contribution. It has great historical and contemporary relevance, given the downward trajectory of US-Russia relations in the last decade. - Dr Nicolas Bouchet, German Marshall Fund of the United States, US

The Cloud of Unknowing

'Professor Miller provides a timely forum for reflection on the invaluable contributions of the Chruch Committee to oversight of U.S. intelligence activities. Since 9/11, our country has been embroiled in a debate about the proper role of intelligence , the preservation of civil liberties, the consequences of torture and, in many ways, the contours of American values themselves. As we engage in the current debate, we would be well-served by the historical perspectives offered by this remarkable collection of essays.'Rep. John F. Tierney (D-MA)'If there is any hope of avoiding intelligence abuse in the post-9/11 era, it will only be by learning the lessons of history, and no investigation, commission, or study is more important on this subject than the Church Committee's 1975 inquiry into domestic spying. This smart and necessary collection brings together a remarkable set of scholars in the hope that we can indeed learn from our mistakes.'Professor David D. Cole, Georgetown University'Today’s warrantless surveillance springs from a different and far more calamitous set of circumstances than the warrantless surveillance at the center of the Church Committee investigations of the 1970s. Still, the parallels are stark. In its first half, this timely volume collects insightful lessons for today’s version of the tensions between national security and democracy from some who played central roles inside the Church Committee's work . The contributions in the second half of the book deal thoughtfully with today’s national security controversies. Overall, the collection is carefully structured and the contributors include experienced and knowledgeable scholars and practitioners from law, intelligence, and political science.'Professor William C. Banks,Syracuse University
