Dept. of History, 2017-04-27) Mangum, Anela; Schwartz, Thomas A.President Carter hoped to define his foreign policy on human rights and liberalization. With the removal of the longtime authoritarian leader, Park Chung Hee, the year 1979 presented an opportunity for democracy in South Korea in 1979. The Carter administration missed this opportunity because of world events and poor communication. This thesis analyzes President Carter’s goals and the way changed over the course of the administration. Ultimately, international crises like the oil crisis, the Iranian hostage crisis, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan distracted the administration from the hope for democratization in South Korea. This unintended negligence left the security-minded American officials in South Korea in charge. This thesis shows the opportunities and limits of American power abroad and the difficulty in pursuing a moralistic foreign policy.Item “ ‘The Best Laid Plans’: French and British Diplomatic Strategy in the Jacobite Rising of 1745”(Vanderbilt University, 2017-04-26) Fuselier, Kathyrn; Clay, LaurenThis project analyses the Jacobite Rising of 1745 in an international context. In particular, the thesis looks at French involvement and promises of support for the Jacobites both before and throughout the first months of the ’45. Without a doubt, the French King and Conseil d’état sought to support the Jacobites as a means of achieving a greater goal of challenging Great Britain. While other scholars have made the case that the French Conseil’s disorganization and mismanagement resulted in French inability to provide their promised aid to Prince Charles Stuart and his Jacobite forces in Scotland, this project argues that it was actually the incoherence and inconsistency of messages within the Jacobite movement itself that prevented the French Conseil from understanding Jacobite ambitions and effectively executing French plans to provide military support. Such incoherent messaging had disastrous effects for the ’45 Rising itself, but also had implications for larger French strategy as it pertained to their rivalry with Great Britain.Item Between Professionalism and Polemics: Historian Frank L.
