Explaining Iran's Foreign Policy: Khomeini's Operational Code?, Hani Adel Dimitry Yassa
Archived Theses and Dissertations
This thesis aims to study Iran's foreign policy behaviour in the period between 1979 and 1988; with a primary emphasis on Imam Khomeini, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran during the same period. The thesis will seek to identify Khomeini's Operational Code (a sub-domain of the belief system and an often neglected variable in foreign policy analysis) and link it to the actual foreign policy behaviour. Quantitative and qualitative content analysis techniques will be utilized to help identity and analyze Khomeini's Operational Code. Two case studies will be used to shed more light on the relationship between …

The Impact Of The Turkish-Israeli Rapprochement On Turkey's Relations With Syria And Iraq From The Realist And Constructivist Perspectives, Nibal Ezz El-Din Gamil Attia
Archived Theses and Dissertations
Depending on the realist theory does not explain accurately the causes of the Turkish Israeli rapprochement. For instance, this theory neglects the nature of demographic and social formation of states in using this concept to explain alliances. The present study uses the Constructivist approach in studying these causes. Constructivists, argue that understanding how actors develop their interests is important in explaining international political phenomenon. To explain interest formation, they focus on the social identities of individuals or states. Identity, makes some countries more attractive than others. The importance of identity for determining who is considered a worthwhile strategic pa1iner is …

Resistance To Privatization In Egypt, Yasmin Khodary
Archived Theses and Dissertations
In Economic Neoliberalism Became Almost Irrelevant, G.W. Kolodko states: New development policies are emerging after 10 years of experience with the transition process. Both theoreticians and policymakers are revising earlier theories about the market-state relationship, scrutinizing privatization processes, tackling deregulation arrangements with a fresh attitude, and attempting to deal with the far-reaching consequences of globalization (Kolodko, 1999). This research examines resistance to privatization in Egypt. It researches the reasons behind such resistance and the tactics of resistance as well. It also examines the different modes of resistance that exist in Egypt. Finally, it attempts to find out the effects of …

Honor And War, Amanda Frances Paulin
Archived Theses and Dissertations
International conflicts have modified into entities that would have been unrecognizable to scholars and practitioners of International Relations two decades or so ago. The global battlefield is transforming into, not objective reality, but rather a field of combined social aspects used to manipulate and twist reality in favor of the players seeking to overcome power positions and grievances. Current patterns of cooperation and conflict constitute a new paradigm of understanding for political science and international relations theorists. Traditional dynamics of power struggles between interstate conflicts have disappeared and instead have been replaced with a complex set of dynamics based on …

The Health Insurance System In Egypt, Aya Allah Amr Elhilaly
Archived Theses and Dissertations
This study analyzes the proposed amendments of the health insurance system in Egypt from a human rights perspective. It starts by outlining the international human rights law standards of the right to health concluding that Egypt has an obligation under international human rights treaties to which it is party to provide a public health insurance system.
The study then addresses the failures of the current health insurance system in Egypt to fulfill the right to health on a non-discriminatory basis arguing that the exclusion of the majority of Egyptians on the basis of employment status or enrollment at school is …

Whatever Happened To The State?: A Preliminary Analysis Of The Role Of State And Civil Society In Development Discourse, Corrie Blankenbeckler
Archived Theses and Dissertations
The basic research problem of this thesis lies in the conflicting nature of the policies of the international financial system and of non-government organizations with regard to the state. Contemporary discourse in the international aid community manifests a deep mistrust of state institutions' ability to effectively manage developments reforms, but lacks the theoretical foundations and organizational methodologies that would be necessary to develop strategies to build up the state so that it might better perform its duties and minimize corruption.

Refugee And Migration Trends In Jerusalem: The Shufat Refugee Camp And Ar Ram Commercial Town - The Contested Status Of Jerusalemites, Riman Barakat
Archived Theses and Dissertations
Throughout the last fifty years especially since 1967, there has been a slow but gradual and systematic process of displacement through various Israeli government policies and regulations, forcing Palestinians to leave Jerusalem. This work attempts to investigate migration trends and refugee modes of behavior that have emerged as a result of the various policies implemented against Jerusalem ID holders. Two locales have been chosen as case studies for this work; Ar Ram commercial and residential town and the Shufat refugee camp.' With the erection of the separation
wall/ barrier/ fence, both of these sites have either been partially or entirely …
Contemporary Alevi Politics: The Case Of Corum, Hande Bayrak
Contemporary Alevi Politics: The Case Of Corum, Hande Bayrak
Archived Theses and Dissertations
Among the scholars of Turkey, there is a wide-spread tendency to view post-1980s as an era of progress and liberalization that also encompasses the fom1ation of a nascent civil society. Within that context, the contemporary revival of Alevilik in Turkey, along with the revival of Sunni Islam, is believed to demonstrate how a culture based group challenges the authority of the homogeneous national identity. Thus, the increasing visibility of Alevis in the public sphere is also taken as a proof of the formation of a pluralist and multicultural environment in Turkey, in which the power of the state is diminished. …

E-Governance In Egypt: A New Methodology To Poverty Reduction, Shahdan Mahmoud Niazi
Archived Theses and Dissertations
The aim of the thesis is to examine if the e-governance initiative in Egypt can contribute to poverty reduction. The study utilizes people-centered indicators by employing Sen's "capability approach" where Sen shifts from the traditional understanding of poverty as derivative of insufficient resources to a new perspective which incorporates the lack of capabilities and opportunities into the definition of the term. The thesis concludes that IT is not the determinant cure that can transform the mode of governance within the government sector in a way that can contribute to poverty alleviation. The transformation of the governance mode for enhanced human …

There are different studies that highlight the work of international non governmental organizations with refugees. A large number of refugees is produced and received by developing countries. Governments in the Third World _have difficulties in assisting refugees. In the absence of a government role in Egypt, this thesis examines the role of local NGOs in assisting refugees to access their human rights in Cairo. For that purpose, 18 Egyptian NGOs, two international NGOs and the UNHCR Cairo Office were examined. The natures of NGOs, their programs and their activities with refugees are discussed to identify to what extent these activities …

Institutionalization And Reform: The Case Of The National Democratic Party In Egypt, Safinaz El Tarouty
Archived Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines the National Democratic Party in Egypt (NDP). It assesses the internal dynamics and reforms of the party between 2000 and 2004 and asks to what extent these reforms have influenced the nature and institutionalization of the party. Starting from the emergence of the Egyptian republic, it traces the rise and development of the consecutive single parties under Nasser and the creation of the NDP under Sadat in 1978. This thesis suggests that the reforms of 2000 do not appear to have significantly increased the level of institutionalization of Egypt’s persistently dominant party. It argues that the reforms …

Humanitarian Intervention And Its Challenges To Sovereignty, Marwa Hamed Hashem
Humanitarian Intervention And Its Challenges To Sovereignty, Marwa Hamed Hashem
Archived Theses and Dissertations
The thesis discusses the controversy regarding how humanitarian intervention often impacts the sovereignty of a country. The dispute is that humanitarian intervention clearly threatens and challenges sovereignty, non intervention and non use of force principles. On the other hand, some politicians and analysts argue that sovereign states have a responsibility towards their population, thus the question which should be evoked here is whether governments should be allowed to carry out genocide and mass killings without external interference in order to maintain their sovereignty? In addition the thesis discusses the changes that the notion of sovereignty has gone through over the …
