Ian Davidson is a Canadian journalist who wrote on European integration and East-West relations. He was Paris and Brussels correspondent for the Finanical Times in the 1960s, and again in the 1980s. From 1976 to 1979 he was Foreign Editor of the newspaper.[1][2][3]
Cold War propagandist
A 2017 study of "Anglo-American Discourse About the USSR, 1984-1986" by Melody Watson analyzed Davidson's language during the 1980s.[4]
She concluded that his Cold War imagery in his articles, largely focused on summit meetings, the role of the USSR in European politics, and arms control, frequently incorporated elements of the 'present danger' narrative about the Soviet Union's behavior on the world stage. The Soviets, he claimed, had no interest in engaging honestly with American proposals, and were motivated by wilful antagonism. the 'Russians' were consistently portrayed as saboteurs, nuisances, and liars.[4]
They were, he claimed, propagandists who obfuscated the arms control process and flagrantly ignored the Helsinki Final Act, the declaration on human rights and territorial sovereignty that defined détente. Furthermore, in describing Soviet behavior in negotiations, Davidson consistently used metaphors of violence, arguments or interpersonal conflict.[4]
