The year of Europe, 1973/74 : a study in alliance diplomacyMoon, Richard John January 1995 (has links)
1973 was a period in the history of the Atlantic Alliance when United States and European interests diverged to an unprecedented degree. Kissinger's Year of Europe initiative (1973/74) and the associated proposal, originally for a new Atlantic Charter and later for a less far-reaching declaration of principles, was an American attempt to inspire an explicit restatement of Alliance obligations. The intention was to take account of changes in the Atlantic relationship consequent upon EEC enlargement, economic pressures, and a dwindling of US domestic support for commitments to Europe at a time of detente with the USSR and the Watergate debacle. But the problems which the US sought to resolve were exacerbated by events, by different priorities in Europe, and by the attitude of France, which chose to interpret American proposals as a diplomatic offensive rather than an attempt to address Alliance problems. Closer US-Soviet relations, the eclipse of European interests during the 1973 Middle East war, and different approaches to the energy crisis created real tension between the allies. It increased - temporarily - the rival attractions of greater European cooperation before leading to recriminations within the Nine members of the EEC and eventual French isolation in the face of Paris's continued hostility to Kissinger's prescription for renewed cooperation. This thesis re-evaluates these events. It looks at the background to 1973 and the prevailing wisdom on such concepts as Atlantic partnership and interdependence. It examines the view that the US initiative was misinterpreted because of unwillingness to jeopardise newly-established European objectives for greater cooperation. It describes how the difficulties were resolved by enhancing - albeit only marginally - the importance of consultation within the Alliance and permitting a degree of US influence within European political cooperation on issues affecting US interests. Finally, it touches on possible comparisons with the early 1990s.

Change processes surrounding alliance terminationFudge, Darcy 12 January 2011 (has links)
The in-depth case study of an alliance termination over a five-year period surrounding the termination of a critical infrastructure industry alliance represents a contribution to organizational scholars’ understanding of alliance termination and the political process under which the set of relationships and competition amongst the firms change. The study develops a process theory to explain the termination and the events that unfold following the termination. Termination is suggested to be an important aspect of the change process. By including termination as an antecedent to firm action, both the social movement and institutional entrepreneurship and the literature on alliance processes can benefit from understanding how termination may shape firm routines and relationship formation.

The Therapeutic Alliance: How Clients Categorize Client-Identified Helpful FactorsSimpson, Arlene Joyce 13 November 2013 (has links)
This study examined the client's perspective of the therapeutic alliance using written
statements collected from clients in a previous study (Bedi & Duff, 2008). The 125
statements describe factors clients believe to be fundamental in the development of a
strong alliance with their counsellor. Fifty participants sorted the statements into
thematically similar piles and then gave each pile of statements a title. Multivariate
concept mapping statistical methods (The Concept Systems, 2008, Version 4) were used
to obtain the most representative sort across participants. The resulting 14 categories and
associated ratings for helpfulness (on the scale of 1-5) are represented on scaled Concept
Maps. Category titles selected arc: Emotional Support, Ability to Relate, Sharing the
Counsellor's Personal Experience, Good Boundaries, Interpersonal Demeanour, Body
Language, Provided Resources and Homework, Availability, Planning and Approach,
Directed Process Appropriately, Attentiveness, Approachable, Non-Judgemental, and
Effective Listening. Female and male helpfulness evaluations were not statistically
significantly different. / Graduate / 0621
