2013 Annual Conference of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations



“America and the World – The World and America”


June 20-22, 2013, Arlington, Virginia.

From its birth, the United States has been enmeshed in currents of global change. From the beginnings of the Columbian Exchange, to the wars of the British and French empires, to the two world wars, to the emergence of the postcolonial world and the era of “globalization,” transnational forces have had a profound impact on U.S. history. At the same time, the United States has played a key role in shaping international affairs throughout its past and to the present day.
. While the foundations of the field in the study of U.S. foreign policy remain strong, increasing numbers of transnational and international historians as well as area studies specialists have become involved in the organization. It may now be said that SHAFR’s members have become scholars of “America and the World” and “the World and America.”
The 2013 meeting in Arlington, Virginia, will feature a plenary session on Thursday evening, titled “America and the World – the World and America: Writing American Diplomatic History in the Longue Durée,” which will put leading scholars of eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth century American diplomacy in conversation with one another.

Abstract

WWII represented a major turning point in the development of American-North African relations. The landing of the Allied Forces in Algeria (12 November 1942) and the Enfa Conference, on 22 January 1943, which brought together President Roosevelt and the Sultan of Morocco, Mohamed V, constituted the first direct contact with North-African colonial realities.
How, since then, have American policy-makers and diplomats perceived North African political realities especially during the wars of independence (1954-1963) and throughout the Cold War? .How Eisenhower doctrine and US perception have tackled the North African nationalist aspirations during the past fifty years ? What’ about the US foreign policy dilemma towards the complex problem of Algerian war of independence , bearing in mind the Kennedy sympathy and active political support for Algerian Revolution ?
The purpose of this paper is to shed some lights on this critical period of the Cold war seeking to cast a multi-faceted examination of the historical course of development of the American-North African relations .
