Episode 18: World War II and the Early Cold War
No full textIn this episode, Jon O’Gorman hosts Andrew Wilson, Michael Dennis, and Nicholas Sarantakes in a discussion about the grand strategy of the Second World War. They begin by talking about the Europe First strategy and what it meant for the United States on the home front: socially, economically, and politically. Next, they discuss how the Sino-Japanese Conflict that started in the 1930s was the real underlying cause that drew the U.S. into the war. The theory of Douhet’s air power as a strategy to defeat Germany and Japan is discussed as well as the how the war was terminated differently in each theater. Finally, the contemporary parallel is drawn as they look at two theories of containment of Communism in the early cold war as an allegory to the actions of the U.S. support of Ukraine and Taiwan today.https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/profiles-in-strategy/1017/thumbnail.jp

China’s New Law on Foreign Relations: Transforming the Rules-Based International Order with Chinese Characteristics
Get PDFIn 2023 China adopted a comprehensive Law on Foreign Relations. Although the law is intended to shape China’s diplomatic relations and its cultural, economic, and other exchanges, as well as China’s relations with the United Nations and other international organizations, implementation of the law will be guided by (inter alia) Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The law makes clear that China’s foreign relations will be conducted to uphold its system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, safeguard its sovereignty, unification and territorial integrity, and promote its economic and social development. This revisionist “rule by law” manifesto is a direct attack on the existing rules-based international order. Riddled with Communist propaganda and falsehoods, the new law describes Xi Jinping’s vision of building a new type of international relations that will allow China to reform the global governance system with a new sovereignty-based order that better reflects its domestic and global interests. This article examines select portions of the new law to demonstrate that China’s actions are in direct opposition to the words in the law and that China sees itself as above the law and rules-based international order
