Historically, the United States saw itself as embodying the best
system of government with a foreign policy goal of bringing this
system to the rest of the world. While Washington has, at times,
dealt more realistically with other great powers at odds with this
view, it has also attempted to alienate lesser states who reject
the American system. The policies of non-recognition of China, Cuba
and Iran were marked instances of this phenomenon. As the Obama
administration renewed ties with Cuba and contemplated a more
cooperative relationship with Iran, staunch opposition arose in
defence of maintaining the long-standing policy of disengagement
with these regimes. Providing a timely explanation for the origins
of and continued support for US policies of non-recognition toward
China, Cuba and Iran, this book demonstrates the links between IR
theory and US foreign policy through the lens of the English School
concept of International Society. It identifies historic costs
stemming from US policies of non-recognition, and cautions that
maintaining an overly narrow frame for understanding global
politics will cause greater difficulties for US foreign policy in
the future. This book will be useful for American researchers,
graduate students and upper-level undergraduates in IR and American
Foreign Policy. The inclusion of English School concepts and
contrasting of IR theory inside and outside the US should also make
it appealing to students in the UK and Australia.
It is generally forgotten that cricket rather than rugby union was
the 'national game' in New Zealand until the early years of the
twentieth century. This book shows why and how cricket developed in
New Zealand and how its character changed across time. Greg Ryan
examines the emergence and growth of cricket in relation to diverse
patterns of European settlement in New Zealand - such as the
systematic colonization schemes of Edward Gibbon Wakefield and the
gold discoveries of the 1860s. He then considers issues such as
cricket and social class in the emerging cities; cricket and the
elite school system; the function of the game in shaping relations
between the New Zealand provinces; cricket encounters with the
Australian colonies in the context of an 'Australasian'
world.
A central theme is cricketing relations with England at a time when
New Zealand society was becoming acutely conscious of both its own
identity and its place within the British Empire. This imperial
relationship reveals structures, ideals and objectives unique to
New Zealand. Articulate, engaging and entertaining, Ryan
demonstrates convincingly how the cricketing experience of New
Zealand was quite different from that of other colonies.
