Superpowers and developing nations soon became inextricably linked and decolonizing states such as Vietnam, India, and Egypt assumed a central role in the ideological struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. As the twentieth century came to an end, many of the challenges of the Cold War became even more complex as the Soviet Union collapsed and new threats arose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing original essays by leading scholars, \u003ci\u003eForeign Policy at the Periphery\u003c\/i\u003e examines relationships among new nations and the United States from the end of the Second World War through the global war on terror. Rather than reassessing familiar flashpoints of US foreign policy, the contributors explore neglected but significant developments such as the efforts of evangelical missionaries in the Congo, the 1958 stabilization agreement with Argentina, Henry Kissinger's policies toward Latin America during the 1970s, and the financing of terrorism in Libya via petrodollars. Blending new, internationalist approaches to diplomatic history with newly released archival materials, \u003ci\u003eForeign Policy at the Periphery\u003c\/i\u003e brings together diverse strands of scholarship to address compelling issues in modern world history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBevan Sewell, \u003c\/b\u003eassistant professor in American history at the University of Nottingham, is the author of \u003ci\u003eEisenhower, Kennedy, and US Economic Policy in Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eProjecting American Foreign Policy: Power and Intervention\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eMaria Ryan\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor in American history at the University of Nottingham.
