キューバ・ミサイル危機におけるケネディー政権の情報管理政策

抄録

The purpose of the present research is to investigate how the Kennedy Administration controlled the flow of information and news during the missile crisis in 1962. This study was carried out by making use of both previous literature and primary sources which were disclassified in the last decade. This study concludes that the administration learned a lot from the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and highly valued the control of information throughout the crisis. To the administration, control of information -- news release, strict restriction of leaks, and communication through the press -- was indeed an important diplomatic weapon for standing against the Soviet Union.
