The Arab League: To Dissolve Or Not To Dissolve, Lee Nave
The Arab League: To Dissolve Or Not To Dissolve, Lee Nave
Lee Nave Jr.
From the inability to speak with one voice, a lack of shared norms, and being chronically conflict prone, one must wonder how the Arab League has managed to exist for as long as it has. Suspending, then either reinventing or dissolving the Arab League seems to be the best route in addressing future conflicts within the region.
Review Of The Explorers' Texas: The Animals They Found By Del Weniger, David O. Ribble
Review Of The Explorers' Texas: The Animals They Found By Del Weniger, David O. Ribble
David O Ribble
As a mammalogist residing in central Texas, I often try to imagine the great diversity and abundance of mammals present in this state prior to western settlement. There are of course legendary accounts in Texas history and folklore of some of the larger mammals, such as buffalo, bears, and wolves, but I know of no book that systematically recounts the historical distribution, abundance, and behavior of what was once an amazing collection of mammals. Del Weniger's study takes its place as such a unique and well-researched account. This is the second volume of his research, the first covering The Land …

Jet Lag: A Neglected Problem Of Modern Diplomacy?, Dan Caldwell, William Hocking
Jet Lag: A Neglected Problem Of Modern Diplomacy?, Dan Caldwell, William Hocking
Dan Caldwell
The observations and anecdotes of diplomats and policy-makers in memoirs and our interviews clearly document their experience with jet lag and raise important questions: what are the physical and mental effects of jet lag; what impact does jet lag have on leaders and diplomatic negotiations; and finally, what can be done to ameliorate these effects? This article addresses these central questions.

Book Review: The Waltz He Was Born For: An Introduction To The Writing Of Walt Mcdonald, Stephen C. Behrendt
Book Review: The Waltz He Was Born For: An Introduction To The Writing Of Walt Mcdonald, Stephen C. Behrendt
Stephen C Behrendt
Advertised as an introduction to the poetry of Walt McDonald, The Waltz He Was Born For is also a celebration - of both the poetry and the man. Author of some twenty volumes and Poet Laureate of Texas, McDonald details a Southwest of dry hills, dark nights, tough working-class characters fiercely determined to retain their essential humanity amid trying circumstances. McDonald's poetry has always reflected his experience of the world as writer, warrior, family man, sage, and spiritual guide, counseling compassion and reconciliation.
Originality And Influence In George Caleb Bingham's Art, Stephen C. Behrendt
Originality And Influence In George Caleb Bingham's Art, Stephen C. Behrendt
Stephen C Behrendt
The work of "the Missouri artist," George Caleb Bingham (1811-79), offers us a good opportunity for considering the broad subject of originality and influence in the arts. The combination of originality and convention in paintings such as Fur Traders Descending the Missouri, The Jolly Flatboatmen, and The County Election can tell us much about the dynamics of that branch of American art which sought to reconcile the inherited traditions of formal, academic European art with the often strikingly unconventional reality of a New World. Often condescendingly labeled "regional" art because of its frequently eclectic emphasis upon the local and the …

Review Of The Painting & Politics Of George Caleb Bingham., Stephen C. Behrendt
Stephen C Behrendt
Nancy Rash's superb study exemplifies the sort of reevaluation that results from tearing down the artificial walls of the gallery and the salon and relocating an artist within an accurate historical and cultural context. Rash introduces Bingham the total person: artist, certainly, but also writer, politician, legislator, polemicist, and social activist. Indeed, Bingham considered himself a public servant who just happened to be also a painter. This important distinction has been blurred by generations of critics who refused to see the "whole" Bingham and who consequently constructed an image of an artist depicting-in the scenes of Missouri life that form …

Review Of The Paintings Of George Caleb Bingham: A Catalogue Raisonne., Stephen C. Behrendt
Stephen C Behrendt
The appearance of this volume by E. Maurice Bloch, the dean of Bingham studies, is a most significant event. Superseding Bloch's preliminary catalogue of 1967, this impressive new volume constitutes the definitive catalogue of Bingham's paintings. With more than 350 illustrations, including 23 in color, it provides a guide to both Bingham's familiar works and his lesser-known subjects, documenting the artist's development both as portraitist and as recorder of Western American subject matter. An insightful introductory essay of twenty-eight large, double-column pages presents Bingham .as man and artist, exploring the events and influences that shaped his art and effectively locating …
Review Of The West As America: Reinterpreting Images Of The Frontier, 1820-1920, Stephen C. Behrendt
Review Of The West As America: Reinterpreting Images Of The Frontier, 1820-1920, Stephen C. Behrendt
Stephen C Behrendt
This rich collection of essays is intellectually substantial, culturally significant, and much overdue. One of the least appreciated phenomena of American culture is its remarkable history of self-fashioning. The American continent was settled by European immigrants for a variety of reasons over some four centuries, and each wave of settlers contributed to the burgeoning mythology of the New World its own set of self-fulfilling prophecies. "America" was--and to a significant extent still is--a largely European construct, a cultural matrix whose outlines emerged and evolved often re-actively as individuals and groups found their expectations challenged by the stark realities of the …
Gendering The Frontier In O. E. Rölvaag's Giants In The Earth, John Muthyala
Gendering The Frontier In O. E. Rölvaag's Giants In The Earth, John Muthyala
John Muthyala
Translated from the Norwegian into English, O. E. Rölvaag's Giants in the Earth narrates the saga of pioneer life on the American prairies. It is a saga that has the sanction of official ideology and the authority of a religious edict: to go on an "errand into the wilderness," explore and subdue the frontier, which was the "basic conditioning factor" of American experience, and, in so doing, cultivate a new civilization. Indeed, it is hard not to read the novel as dramatizing the power of Turner's frontier thesis because it seems to unabashedly affirm the frontier as the great American …

Rtop's Second Pillar: The Responsibility To Assist In Theory And Practice In Solomon Islands, Charles Hawksley, Nichole Georgeou
Rtop's Second Pillar: The Responsibility To Assist In Theory And Practice In Solomon Islands, Charles Hawksley, Nichole Georgeou
Nichole Georgeou
This paper explores the implementation of a regional capacity-building program in Solomon Islands, a state that experienced significant violence and political tension between 1998 and 2003. The July 2003 intervention of the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) is a useful and relevant case study for understanding the operationalization of Pillar II of RtoP, which the authors have termed the “Responsibility to Assist” (RtoA). While RAMSI has not consciously adopted RtoP language in its operations, the rationale for the intervention included humanitarian as well as wider regional security concerns. The mission’s emphasis on developing the state’s capacities in policing …
Comparing Uses Of The Strategic Defense (Fabian Strategy) By General Washington (1776-78) And Russian Generals (1904-05), Samuel W. Bettwy
Comparing Uses Of The Strategic Defense (Fabian Strategy) By General Washington (1776-78) And Russian Generals (1904-05), Samuel W. Bettwy
Samuel W Bettwy
The Fabian strategy, also known as strategic defense, is a military strategy in which a weaker force avoids decisive battles with the enemy and creates delay in a war of attrition until the right moment arrives to deliver a decisive blow. General George Washington and his Continental Army, supplemented by the militia, employed this strategy successfully against the British Army during the War for American Independence. The Russian generals did not, however, employ a successful strategic defense against Japanese expeditionary forces in the Russo-Japanese War. To understand why, this paper considers the elements of the Fabian strategy and compares how …
