Las organizaciones no gubernamentales como instrumentos de intervención de Estados Unidos en las revoluciones de colores. Estudio de caso: revolución naranja en Ucrania

El presente trabajo de investigación tiene por objetivo explicar la estrategia de intervención de Estados Unidos en las Revoluciones de Colores, teniendo como estudio de caso a la Revolución Naranja de Ucrania en 2004. En base a ello, esta monografía describe y analiza las principales estrategias de poder blando implementadas por ciertas ONGS, que por razones políticas e ideológicas, se convirtieron en la principal herramienta de intervención de EE.UU. en su intento por respaldar un cambio pacífico de régimen en Ucrania. Para lo cual, se hará uso del concepto de Poder Blando de Joseph Nye, y de manera subsidiaria, de la teoría de Estructura de Oportunidades Políticas de Sidney Tarrow. Con el objetivo de comprender el triunfo de la Revolución Naranja a partir del contexto político nacional, y sobre todo, en razón de los intereses de política exterior de EE.UU. en el espacio Post Soviético.

Supporting the Revolution: America, Democracy, and the End of the Cold War in Poland, 1981-1989. ACES Working Paper (Report) No. 8, 2007

Early on the morning of December 13, 1981, General Wojciech Jaruzelski, the leader of the communist Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR), declared martial law, ending the so-called "Polish Crisis," which began with the creation of the Independent Free Trade Union "Solidamosc" in August 1980. Over the next eight years, the Communist government and the opposition struggled over power, culminating in 1989 with the creation of a Solidamosc-led government which ended fifty years of Communist rule in Poland and led the way to further democratic revolutions throughout Eastern Europe. The purpose of this dissertation is to utilize newly available and underutilized archival sources as well as oral history interviews, from both international and American perspectives, to fully chronicle American policy toward Poland from the declaration of martial law until the creation of the Solidarnosc government. Rather than explaining Polish-American relations in bilateral terms, the dissertation illuminates the complex web of influences that determined American policy in Washington and affected its implementation within Poland. This includes descriptions of internal tensions within the Reagan administration, differences between American decisions in Washington and implementation in Warsaw, lobbying from Polish-American groups, clashes between Capitol Hill and the White House, coordination with American labor organizations to support Solidarnosc, disagreements with West European allies in NATO and international financial organizations, cooperation with the Vatican and the Polish Catholic Church, synchronization with American humanitarian organizations working in Poland, limitations caused by the realities of Soviet power in Eastern Europe, and complications caused by domestic Polish concerns. By taking a broad view of American policy and highlighting internal Polish decisions, with both the Communist government and the democratic opposition, the dissertation provides concrete examples of America's role in Poland's transformation, arguing, however, that this role was very limited. These conclusions are relevant to arguments about the end of the Cold War, the nature of American power, as well as current discussions about possibilities to promote democracy within hostile regimes.
