ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This dissertation would not have been possible without
the assistance, encouragement, love, and support of many
people. Therefore, I want to gratefully acknowledge the
following for their essential roles in bringing this work
to its fruition.
I wish to thank and praise my Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. It is by His grace that I have been able to come
this far in my studies. This work is dedicated to His
glory.
I wish to give my most heartfelt thanks to my advisor,
Dr. Cecil V. Crabb, Jr. I am so very grateful to have had
the opportunity to work with such a truly great man and
scholar. Although he retired during my tenure at LSU, Dr.
Crabb continued to serve as the chair of my dissertation
committee. His wisdom and vast knowledge are evident
throughout this work. He always believed in me and his
encouragement sustained me through the more difficult
times. In many respects he was like a father to me during
my studies here at Louisiana State University. I will
always remember him with, great affection.
I wish to express my great love for, and eternal
gratitude to, Suzanne Hoke, her mother Mary Jo, and her

entire family. Their friendship is of the type that one
rarely experiences and, consequently, greatly cherishes.
They stood by me and sustained me through all of my
difficulties. They never stopped believing in me and always
urged me on. For all that they have done for me over these
five years, I am in their debt. Suzie is truly my best
friend.
I wish to thank my father, John Antizzo, for his love
and support. His assistance, especially in the later stages
of this project, was selfless and was always offered with
words of encouragement and praise.
I wish to thank my mother, Jeanne Judge. Without her
love, faith in my work, and financial sacrifice my graduate
education would not have been possible.
I also want to gratefully acknowledge my stepfather,
George V. Judge III, and my stepmother, Barbara Antizzo.
They both sacrificed greatly to make this Ph.D. possible. I
love them very much and consider myself blessed to have
them in my family.
I want to express my appreciation to my minor
professor, Dr. Karl A. Roider. His knowledge of Eastern
Europe has greatly enriched my graduate education. I am
grateful for his careful reading of this dissertation and
his constructive criticism, both of which have made this a
much better work.

I wish to also express my gratitude to Dr. William A.
Clark, who continually challenged me to produce work of
only the very highest quality. His knowledge of Eastern
European politics has sparked my interest in the foreign
and military policies of the states of the former Warsaw
Pact. Furthermore, he has always provided me with sound
counsel with regard to my academic and professional career.
Many thanks to Dr. E. Ramon Arango. His infectious
enthusiasm in the classroom has greatly influenced my
teaching style. His support and faith in me are greatly
appreciated and will always be remembered.
Thanks also to Dr. Kevin V. Mulcahy. His careful
consideration of my work and his thoughtful insights have
helped make this a more complete work.
I want to also acknowledge the contribution of Dr.
Harry Mokeba. Although not a member of my committee, Dr.
Mokeba took an interest in my work and was especially
helpful in the development of the chapter on Somalia.
I must also thank my close friends Dr. and Mrs. Ronald
Keith Gaddie for all their love and support.
I wish to extend especially warm thanks to Dr. James
Campbell, who always believed in me. His assistance at
various key points in my academic career have made this
Ph.D. possible. I hope my work will always be a source of
pride to him.

I want to thank Dr. James Garand who saw the potential
in me. He was instrumental in securing my assistantship and
allowing me the opportunity to prove myself here at LSU. I
will always be grateful to him.
I wish to also thank my grandparents, Joseph and Agnes
Antizzo and the late Imogene Lawrence for all their love,
understanding, and faith.
For her Christian fellowship, I am especially grateful
to my aunt, Joyce Donath. She was a pillar of spiritual
strength.
I also wish to thank Carol Hodges for her meticulous
proofreading of this work and her helpful suggestions
regarding its format.
Finally, I would like to express my thanks to various
others who have made my experience at LSU something that I
will always cherish: Anthony Vachris, Mr. and Mrs. John
Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Johnson, Dr. Keith A. Boeckelman,
Dr. William Arp, Dr. G. Ellis Sandoz, Dr. Thomas Owen,
Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Cubbage, and Mr. William Crawford of the
Louisiana State Law Institute. Their support and
encouragement gave me the determination to see this project
through. I will remember them all with great fondness.
