This case study describes the negotiations accompanying the process of France’s withdrawal from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s integrated military system, including the expulsion of NATO units from French soil. It focuses on negotiations among allies who retain common political security interests, despite some strong differences concerning principles of national and Western defense. As such, the case is particularly useful for courses on international negotiation and bargaining, and for courses involving alliance organizations and Western security affairs.

This case study examines the complex negotiations between Japan and Russia during World War I, which culminated in a treaty of alliance in July 1916. It also demonstrates how reversal of traditional enmity works and how alignments often change in the pursuit of the same goals. This study will contribute to an understanding of the dynamics of international relations in a non-European setting, during one of the most crucial periods in modern history. This case can be taught in courses on international relations in the Asia/Pacific region, diplomatic relations in East Asia, international history of the 19th and 20th centuries, Russian foreign policy, or Japanese foreign policy.

When Israel invaded Lebanon in June 1982, the United States became deeply involved. Different elements in the U.S. government were at odds over policy issues: the pace and direction the U.S.-brokered negotiations should take; whether to pressure Israel to moderate its demands; whether U.S. military power should bolster diplomatic efforts; and the degree to which the U.S. should view the Lebanon issue as a superpower confrontation. This case study is intended to stimulate a discussion on supporting diplomacy with military power, and of how the interests of U.S. executive agencies shape policymaking. It can be used as a complement to “The War Powers Resolution and U.S. Policy in Lebanon, 1982-1984” (Case Study 184).

This case study is designed to highlight the link between two problems: the origins of the Cold War, and the resolution of the “German Question”: the belief that whoever controlled Germany could dominate the whole of Europe and tilt the global balance of power against its rival. Indeed, the country’s strategic, economic, and political importance made both East and West fearful of the prospect of a unified Deutschland aligning itself with the other side. This case asks students to analyze what the United States and its allies were likely to gain through negotiations with the Soviets versus what they could achieve, and to a large extent had already achieved, through negotiations among themselves. It could be paired with Case Study 147, “Deciding Germany’s Future, 1943-1945.”

Twice during the postwar period, the West countered Soviet threats against Berlin—a fact that makes these episodes perfect material for case studies of crisis diplomacy. The second clash, the subject of this case study, began in 1958, when Soviet General Secretary Nikita Khrushchev renounced the agreements his government had made with the Allies on Berlin a decade earlier and threatened to take further measures if Western forces did not pull out. The study analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of both options for the West, before revealing the path Washington took.

In the fall of 1989, thousands of East Germans defied Prime Minister Erich Honecker and his regime’s ban on unauthorized departure from the German Democratic Republic and escaping to West Germany through Hungary, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. This case study, created for the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs, explores a series of policy-relevant ethics issues: What does it mean to be a citizen of choice? How does this relate to prevailing notions of human rights? And what can and should nations do to promote “the freedom of movement?”

This case study traces the U.S. role in the lengthy negotiations on codification of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea. It begins with the Nixon administration’s 1970 decision to submit its own proposal to the U.N. Seabed Committee, and then analyzes the evolution of Washington’s strategy during the various negotiating sessions (UNCLOS I, II and III) held between 1974 and 1982. Although the U.S. never ratified the U.N. Law of the Sea Treaty (as the agreement is generally known) the Clinton administration’s decision to recognize and abide by its terms when it came into force in 1994 suggests that the negotiating process advanced American interests. This case study illustrates the problems of conducting large-scale, multilateral negotiations over an extended period. This case can be paired with Case Study 136, “Should the Reagan Administration Have Signed the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea?”

This case study describes the Lithuanian-Russian negotiations over Russian transit rights through newly independent Lithuania to the isolated, yet militarily important enclave of Kaliningrad. The case analyzes foreign policy decision-making in a small, relatively poor state (Lithuania) with strong historical and contemporary ties to a large, dominant state (Russia)— portrays the difficulties of working out the nuts and bolts of foreign policy agreements in any country. This case can be paired with “The Long Good-Bye: The Withdrawal of Russian Military Forces from the Baltic States” (Case Study 230) and “After the Empire: Estonia and Russia Negotiate Borders and Citizenship” (Case Study 251).
