TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the evolution of the so-called "china differential" in the 1980s whereby the United States and its COCOM allies accorded a more favorable export control policy toward China than the one they continued to impose on the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
Abstract: This article documents and analyzes the evolution of the so-called “china differential” in the 1980s whereby the United States and its COCOM allies accorded a more favorable export control policy toward China than the one they continued to impose on the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. At the same time, a limited Sino-U.S. military relationship evolved, resulting in increased bilateral defense-related exchanges and American arms sales to China. The author argues that the development of the “China differential” was clearly influenced by considerations of the strategic triangle and that the relaxation of restrictions on technology transfer to China was meant to serve broader U.S. politico-strategic objectives of containing Soviet expansionism and enhancing its power position vis-a-vis that of the Soviet Union.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the cultivation of innocence in the United States, coupled with policies of free market expansionism, the acquisitiveness of capitalism, rising militarism, and the hubris of democratic evangelism, free market fundamentalism, is an especially fatal sin.
Abstract: In this article, I argue that the cultivation of innocence in the United States, coupled with policies of free market expansionism, the acquisitiveness of capitalism, rising militarism, the hubris of democratic evangelism, free market fundamentalism, and the immense U.S. militaristic and economic power, is an especially fatal sin. In general, I contend that nurturing innocence involves overlooking the inadvertent and advertent destruction and suffering that has resulted from U.S. interventionist policies and actions in the 20th and 21st centuries. Finally, I argue that the cultivation of innocence, which is often supported by Christian theological language, contradicts central Christian beliefs.

TL;DR: This paper integrated meaning, affect, and information sharing with the other-than-human beings during rhythmic assembly at an island shrine in east Africa's Inland Sea (Lake Victoria), in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Abstract: Many studies of ethnic formation find metaphors of descent at the core of largely masculinist discourse about belonging and difference. This study integrates the meaning, affect, and information-sharing prompted with the other-than-human beings – in particular, trees – enlisted during rhythmic assembly at an Island shrine in east Africa’s Inland Sea (Lake Victoria), in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Fostering ethnic identification there drew on lateral connections that crossed language, region, and standing without creating boundaries. A gendered discourse exceeding the masculine was likely indispensable to this sort of belonging. The beginning of a long period of bellicose state expansionism and the deep history of public healing in the region framed these developments.
