"Beginning with the restoration of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cambodia in 1969, this book is the first to systematically explore the controversial issues and events surrounding the relationship between the two countries in the latter half of the twentieth century. The United States and Cambodia, 1969-2000 traces how the secret bombing of Cambodia, the coup which overthrew Prince Sihanouk, and the American invasion of Cambodia in 1970 led to a brutal civil war followed by the savagery of the Khmer Rouge "killing fields."" "Clymer examines the American role in these tragic events before analyzing the American response to the Vietnamese invasion in 1978 that finally drove the Khmer Rouge from power. The book highlights how hostility to the government installed by the Vietnamese led the United States to attempt to undermine it by assisting the Cambodian resistance forces. It closes with an examination of the key role the United States played in the United Nations-assisted settlement of the Cambodian problem in the early 1990s. The companion volume to this book, The United States and Cambodia, 1870-1969, explores from the first American relations with Cambodia, through the Cold War era, up until the late 1960s." "Based on extensive archival research in the United States, Australia, and Cambodia, this is the most comprehensive account of the United States' troubled relationship with Cambodia and will be of enormous interest to scholars of Southeast Asia, U.S. diplomatic history and U.S. foreign policy."--Jacket.

When does the US support partition of a warring or failing state? Why has the US supported partition for some secessionists, or irredentists, but not for others? Is it a policy of last resort or are there certain variables that are strong determinants of this position right from the start? This book seeks to answer these questions by examining US policy toward secessionist movements in three countries during the first decade following the end of the Cold War: Iraq, Ethiopia, and Bosnia-Hercegovina.

In this volume, the study of legislatures has traditionally been a central preoccupation of political scientists. Legislatures provide good laboratories for testing theories and methodologies of significance in the discipline and, more broadly, for contributing to an understanding of how representative government works.

Examples include South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The authors, an American political scientist and an African public administration professor, write for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for policymakers, managers, and administrators"--Provided by publisher.
