ABSTRACT

State response to assassination conspiracies is a reality behind diplomacy. This examination analyses British and American responses to assassination from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s. It argues the United States and Britain began with very different cultures of assassination. The 1980s was a period of structural convergence driven by practical collaboration: it had little to do with a longstanding ‘special relationship’, the Second Cold War, or relations between Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.

从 MLK 暗杀 T 夫人：美国和英国的对比与趋同

摘要

国家对暗杀阴谋的反应是外交背后的现实。该考试分析了 1960 年代后期至 1980 年代中期英国和美国对暗杀的反应。它认为美国和英国的暗杀文化始于截然不同的文化。1980 年代是一个由实际合作推动的结构趋同时期：它与长期存在的“特殊关系”、第二次冷战或玛格丽特·撒切尔和罗纳德·里根之间的关系几乎没有关系。
