The Other Alliance and the Transatlantic Partnership --CONCLUSION --Notes --List of Sources --IndexUsing previously classified documents and original interviews, The Other Alliance examines the channels of cooperation between American and West German student movements throughout the 1960's and early 1970's, and the reactions these relationships provoked from the U.S. government. Revising the standard narratives of American and West German social mobilization, Martin Klimke demonstrates the strong transnational connections between New Left groups on both sides of the Atlantic. Klimke shows that the cold war partnership of the American and German governments was mirrored by a coalition of rebelling counterelites, whose common political origins and opposition to the Vietnam War played a vital role in generating dissent in the United States and Europe. American protest techniques such as the "sit-in" or "teach-in" became crucial components of the main organization driving student activism in West Germany--the German Socialist Student League--and motivated American and German student activists to construct networks against global imperialism. Klimke traces the impact that Black Power and Germany's unresolved National Socialist past had on the German student movement; he investigates how U.S. government agencies, such as the State Department's Interagency Youth Committee, advised American policymakers on confrontations with student unrest abroad; and he highlights the challenges student protesters posed to cold war alliances. Exploring the catalysts of cross-pollination between student protest movements on two continents, The Other Alliance is a pioneering work of transnational history.America in the world.Student movementsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryStudentsPolitical activityUnited StatesHistory20th centuryProtest movementsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryStudent movementsInternational cooperationHistory20th centuryStudent movementsGermany (West)HistoryStudentsPolitical activityGermany (West)HistoryProtest movementsGermany (West)HistoryVietnam War, 1961-1975Protest movementsUnited StatesVietnam War, 1961-1975Protest movementsGermany (West)Student movementsHistoryStudentsPolitical activityHistoryProtest movementsHistoryStudent movementsInternational cooperationHistoryStudent movementsHistory.StudentsPolitical activityHistory.Protest movementsHistory.Vietnam War, 1961-1975Protest movementsVietnam War, 1961-1975Protest movements373.1/81097309046Klimke Martin1489544MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781458103321The other alliance3716625UNINA
