Research Interest: 
Nixon, Heath And the Anglo-American Relationship

The era of Richard Nixon and Edward Heath has been characterized as marking a nadir in the Anglo-American alliance. Capitalizing on the recent release of archival material in the US and the UK, Mr. Scott will examine the role of the Anglo-American relationship during this era in the context of the East-West d tente and the arms control initiatives. By examining the role of Anglo-American cooperation in the past Mr. Scott hopes to gain a better understanding of how it can most effectively work towards present and future stability. Mr. Scott hopes to use Yale s extensive library resources to analyze secondary material, newspapers and periodicals. He will also visit the National Archives and the Nixon papers archive near Washington D.C.
