Abstract:

<p> The work first outlines a theoretical framework referred to as the Theory of the Strong Executive, drawn from what comparatively little literature there is about the state governors, as well as certain primary sources. The Theory of the Strong Executive outlines two sets of expectations for state governors, one theoretical (descriptive labels of expected political behavior) and one institutional (certain institutional or constitutional features one might expect to see). </p><p> The veto power, basically a legislative power granted to the executive, is critical for gubernatorial behav

Abstract:

The record of American foreign policy in the Middle East between 2001 and 2006 is marked mostly by failures of the Bush Administration to achieve its stated objectives, including reducing terrorism, stopping the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and spreading liberal democracy. Still, there are also notable bright spots, including the case of Libya’s diplomatic rehabilitation. What is it, then, that accounts for this success in the face of so many other failures where the policy goals were markedly similar? I argue that a partial explanation of this discrepancy can be found in the nature

Abstract:

Environmental Justice (EJ) is the name of both a concept and a social movement that originated in the United States (US) in the early 1980s. Broadly, EJ describes attempts to ameliorate and rectify an intimate relationship between environmental and social inequality, where environmental ills are disproportionately suffered by certain members of society, usually the marginalised and the poor. EJ is shown to be a discourse that is capable of possessing both democratic and political potential, however, in its various manifestations, this potential is frequently not realised.

Abstract:

The aim of my thesis is to explore the role of the “exceptionalist” collective imaginary in promoting Costa Rica’s democratization process by applying a novel analytical framework that combines insights from post structural discourse theory, discursive institutionalism and ideational theories. It addresses the following puzzle: How was it possible for a society that historically prided itself on being “exceptionally” egalitarian, homogenous, peaceful, and democratic to become transformed into revolutionary agents by an unknown political figure (Jose Figueres) in a fight against the Caldero-com

This thesis examines the nature and the extent of American economic power and influence in the 1960s in the context of the Anglo-American economic relationship.

Finally, this examination attempts to establish the veracity of new more positive historical interpretations of the foreign policy of President Lyndon Johnson.

Abstract:

Over the last two decades public service broadcasting (PSB) around the world has faced increasing pressures from accelerating commercialisation and the fragmentation of the broadcasting landscape. This has led a number of media commentators in the system's traditional heartlands to ask whether the idea has now outlived its usefulness. Against the grain of this international trend, Taiwan has moved in the opposite direction, democratising its state-owned television system and introducing a form of public broadcasting for the first time.

Satisfying a campaign pledge to the National Education Association (NEA), President Jimmy Carter pushed for a federal Department of Education in 1978 and 1979.

Using divisive racial and religious issues, these conservatives tried, and failed, to thwart the Department of Education project.

After this forward look at the changes anticipated by Nietzsche, the traditional roles of woman as the eternal feminine, wife and mother are debated.

It argues that, in the face of the perceived threat of Irish unification posed by the Anglo-Irish Agreement in 1985, unionists employed the memory of the Somme as a political tool on tw

In 1959, the Swedish Social Democratic Party prevailed over the bourgeois parties in the great battle for supplementary pensions (ATP). In the 1990’s, however, the party leadership decided to abolish the ATP in close cooperation with the bourgeois parties. The thesis poses the following question: “What prospects did the Social Democratic leadership have to gain support for the ATP-reform in the 1950’s, and then for the quite dissimilar pension reform in the 1990’s, and how can differences between these prospects be explained?” In order to explain the kind of party change pointed out in the pro

Particularly interesting about this case was the puzzling fact that all actors involved used climate-change mitigation as their main argument, regardless of being for or against the expansion, thus signalling differences in problem perception and representation.

This thesis contributes to our understanding of the financial crisis as it played itself out in the UK. The onset of the crisis provoked multiple diagnoses and interpretations of the crisis.

As the economic situation worsened, however, other interpretations gained ground. From this perspective, the crisis was an event that exposed the limits of the highly financialised status of our

Abstract:

This project is a relational ethnography that explores valuation as a social process and its relationship to the production and reproduction of inequality in urban space. I connect the subjective valuation process with struggles over material resources and the politics of recognition. With each chapter of this dissertation I demonstrate that race and ethnicity are encoded in the value of urban spaces through analyses of various micro-level meaning-making practices and structures that constitute cultural processes relevant to valuation. In addition to participant observation, I incorporate semi

Abstract:

Tony Blair’s extraordinary decision to ask for Parliament’s approval for British military deployment in the Iraq War prompted lingering questions about who decides on matters of war and peace in modern Britain. His successors’ use, and thereby confirmation, of the new parliamentary prerogative suggested a fundamental reorganization of war powers in British politics, giving Parliament a significantly stronger position in the realm of foreign affairs. This paper argues that a number of factors, like a Prime Minister’s leadership style, the role Cabinet and the civil service, and Parliament’s gov

Abstract:

This dissertation explores the racial politics of the U.S. through an examination of political contention over the inclusion of ethnic studies in K-12 public schools. Black, Indigenous, Chicanx/Latinx, and Asian/Pacific Islander Americans have indelibly shaped the political, economic, and social contours of the U.S. from its founding to present. However, the fullness of their experiences in and contributions to the nation remain woefully inadequate in K-12 U.S. history/social studies curricula (Brown & Brown, 2010; Journell, 2009; Ladson-Billings, 2003; Loewen, 1996; Reddick, 1934; Woodson, 19

Abstract:

This dissertation project is a critical anthropological analysis of the impact of colorism on the educational attainment and academic trajectory of African-American school students in Washington, DC by examining teacher expectations. Through a historical and contemporary lens of public education in DC, I examine the ways in which a black-white racial binary has been used by those in decision-making positions -- namely teachers, counselors, school administrators, Parents and Teachers Association members and other adult decision-makers -- as an indicator of a student's academic ability and their

Abstract:

The September 11, 2001 Jihadists attack on the West and the subsequent wars on terrorism indicate that war may be a permanent condition of life in the contemporary world. This implies that to understand contemporary society, culture and communication requires an understanding of war because war could perhaps provide a perspective through which to understand the world. The aim of this study is to provide such a perspective and to critically explore the link between war and communication. However, in approaching a study of war one is confronted with a pervasive pacifist anti-war ideologic

Abstract:

No período de transição da ditadura para a democracia em Portugal a relevância dos órgãos de comunicação social assumiu vários contornos. Foram meios privilegiados de transmissão de informações à opinião pública, mas, simultaneamente, envolveram-se nos acontecimentos, intervindo nas lutas políticas que ocorreram logo após o 25 de Abril de 1974. Não raras vezes, criaram factos políticos e estiveram, eles próprios, no centro de alguns dos mais emblemáticos combates então travados. Deram voz aos principais actores político-militares, criticaram-nos e/ou elogiaram-nos, consoante a fase do process

Cotutelle de thèse avec l'Université de Montpellier<br>Pourquoi des États créent-ils des forces expéditionnaires bi/multi-nationales ? Pourquoi celles-ci ne sont pas utilisées au final ? L’objectif de cette thèse est d’apporter une explication à ce paradoxe, illustré parfaitement par la brigade franco-allemande et les groupements tactiques de l’Union européenne. Bien que ces deux unités ne soient pas les seules en Europe pouvant être qualifiées de forces expéditionnaires, nous avons décidé de choisir ces deux cas d’études, afin d’analyser également à travers les mesures relatives à celles-ci,
