1 The University of Texas at Austin UGS 302 Fall 2016 MAI 220D M W 3:30-5:00 Professor Robert Hutchings LBJ School, SRH rhutchings@austin.utexas.edu Office Hours: W 1:00-2:30 Undergraduate Assistant: The Cold War and Its Legacy The Cold War influences our lives in more ways than we may realize. The institutions that govern our world today, from domestic national security structures to international organizations like the UN, NATO and even the international financial institutions, were largely shaped by the Cold War. Our ways of understanding international relations were likewise shaped by the omnipresence of military threats, real or imagined, to our security and well- being, which may help explain the over- militarized U.S. response to contemporary foreign policy challenges. Undergraduates today experienced none of this history, and studied it through texts that often gave only cursory coverage to the creation, evolution, and eventual collapse of the Soviet empire. The instructor of this seminar, by contrast, spent a diplomatic career focusing on East- West affairs and culminating as Director for European Affairs at the White House during the East European revolutions of 1989, the unification of Germany, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Together in this seminar, we will look back on this period with the benefit of hindsight and with access to new archival material that allows us to understand what was happening behind the scenes in Washington, Moscow and other capitals. The assignments will come at or topic from different angles that will help us recapture the spirit of the times via novels set in the Cold War, contemporaneous journalistic accounts of key events in Cold War history, and audio and video material now available, including the 24- part CNN television documentary series on the Cold War. We hope to do so with a degree of perspective as well, so that we can transcend the Cold War s legacy and prepare ourselves for the new and very different challenges that lie ahead. Assignments Students will write three short papers and one longer research paper. Grades will be weighted roughly as follows: 35% for the four short papers, 35% for the research paper, and 30% for contributions to class discussions. There will be no exams. 1
2 Short Papers (35%) 1) How, when, and most importantly, why did the Cold War begin? Might it have been averted? Address these questions in a very short essay of between 500 and 1,000 words. The essay is due September 21. (10%) 2) In a short paper of no more than 1,000 words, give an account of a Cold War event or episode from the list at the Annex to this syllabus. Your account is to be based entirely on contemporaneous material newspapers and journals of the time, radio and television broadcasts (including at least one of the installments of the CNN series), speeches and other official statements, declassified official documents from the period, and memoir literature. Your task is not to analyze the event of episode itself but rather to assess the nature of the coverage at the time, and what that reveals about the Cold War. A first draft is due October 3; a final draft, incorporating the comments to your initial draft, is due October 17. (15%) 3) In a short essay of no more than 1,000 words, assess the Cold War experience of one country other than the United States or the Soviet Union. You may focus primarily on a single episode such as the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, so long as you use this to explicate the broader issue of your country s experience in the Cold War. The essay is due November 14. (10%) Research Paper (35%) Students will write a research paper of no more than 3,000 words on an aspect of the Cold War other than the topics of your short papers. Your paper must combine traditional secondary sources with some of the primary source material especially journalistic accounts, memoir literature, and declassified official documents described above for the second short paper assignment. A brief, 2- page concept paper previewing the topic and the approach you plan to take, along with a preliminary bibliography, is due October 31. The paper itself is due December 7. Oral Contributions (30%) As we will devote at least half of each session to discussion, the quality of each student s participation will be an important component of the final grade. Students are expected to have read and studied all the assigned readings, with the exception of the readings from Hanhimaki and Westad s Cold War reader, which students should see as a supplementary resource to be scanned and read selectively.

I assume that you are honest; it would be disrespectful for me to suggest otherwise. Yet students sometimes get into trouble through insufficient understanding of the standards governing academic integrity, or under time pressure they may make careless choices they would not normally make. You owe it to yourself, your fellow students, and the institution to familiarize yourself with these standards and observe them. You can find a discussion of academic integrity, including definitions of plagiarism and unauthorized collaboration, as well as information on citations, note taking, and paraphrasing, at the Office of the Dean of Students web page: August 24: Introduction to the Course Course Outline Robert McMahon, The Cold War: A Very Short Introduction, Chapters 1-3 (pages 1-55) August 29: Overview of the Cold War McMahon, The Cold War, Chapters 4-6 (pages ) August 31: Exploring Cold War History Hanhimaki and Westad, eds., The Cold War, Introduction (ix- xvii) Klaus Larres and Anne Lane, eds., The Cold War: The Essential Readings (Oxford: Blackwell Publishers, 2001), pages 1-16 and Michael J.

John Reed, Ten Days that Shook the World, Introduction, Preface, Chapter 1 (through page 41) Note: Reed s classic, first- hand account of the Bolshevik Revolution, still in print after all these years, was written by an idealistic young American journalist who became intoxicated by the Communist experiment (and died before he had to witness where the revolution would lead). The names and places are confusing, especially at the beginning, but do not be deterred! You are not expected to remember the details. After the first 40 pages or so, it becomes a much easier read. (In that respect, it is like one of those English novels in which you are introduced to so many earls and countesses that you can hardly keep track.) Read it quickly, as you would a thriller, and focus not on the details but on some big questions. What does a revolution feel like? Why did the Tsarist regime collapse? Why did the Bolsheviks prevail, when there were so many other, less violent alternatives in the middle and on the more moderate Left?
