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.

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.

Throughout World War II, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States discussed a wide variety of proposals for dealing with Germany after the war. This case study focuses on the Allies’ exchanges on that subject between 1943 and the 1945 Potsdam Conference. Their deliberations offer important insights into the dynamics of the “German Question” and the origins of the Cold War. The study is designed to stimulate students’ thinking about these issues, as well as the impact of national objectives on international diplomacy, and to show in detail how nations define and pursue their national interests. It could be paired with Case Study 139, “The German Question and the Cold War.”

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 examines the international negotiations leading to the 1987 Montreal Protocol, designed to control and reduce emissions of chlorofluorocarbons. The 1985 discovery of a growing hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica prompted the Reagan administration to intensify discussions with domestic economic interest groups and their foreign counterparts to eliminate the industrial use of CFCs. This case study illustrates the value of consulting domestic interest groups, as well as the interagency community, to develop a workable negotiating strategy. It also allows students to assess the effectiveness of public diplomacy and confrontational politics in breaking deadlocks and hastening progress at multilateral conferences.

This case study uses the U.S.-Canada acid rain dispute of the 1980s to draw important lessons for students, scholars, and practitioners of international relations. It explains factors common to most international conflicts, such as an asymmetrical distribution of effects, the asymmetrical distribution of power, the absence of a supranational authority, and disparate political cultures. The study then uses the acid rain negotiations to identify additional factors found in nearly all environmental disputes: commonly held resource characteristics, technical complexity, and scientific or economic uncertainty. This case distills these factors into an engaging narrative of U.S. and Canadian environmental policies of the 1980s.

In December 1991, after more than 300 years of conflict, representatives of all South Africa’s racial groups began negotiating a peaceful transition to a nonracial democracy. The Convention for a Democratic South Africa (CODESA) set out to develop basic principles for a non-racial political system, and an interim constitution to govern South Africa until an election could be held for a constituent assembly empowered to write a permanent constitution. This case study introduces students to the diversity and complexity of political views in South Africa, and efforts to lessen the violence that plagued the country. It also asks whether the primary purpose of such international peacekeeping is to end political violence, or to resolve political conflicts that generate violence.
