Jenna Phillips

Ms. Phillips will be researching and writing an up to date analysis of the Korean War. As the United States first modern limited war, the Korean conflict holds an important place in the history of American foreign policy and defense. However, it has received relatively little scholarly attention. In her work, Ms. Phillips hope to re-evaluate the conflict, addressing the wide issue of interaction between Kennan s doctrine of containment, NSC-68 and the theory of the zero-sum game. She also plans to probe the Anglo-American relationship during the war. Ms. Phillips believes this research will offer her a unique insight into US foreign policy as well as providing an interesting parallel between the Truman and Bush administrations.
