ความท้าทายในการบูรณาการของชาวจีนใหม่ในกัมพูชา, นันทนัท สุวรรณชัย
ความท้าทายในการบูรณาการของชาวจีนใหม่ในกัมพูชา, นันทนัท สุวรรณชัย
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
สารนิพนธ์ฉบับนี้ศึกษาความท้าทายของชาวจีนใหม่กับการบูรณาการกับสังคมกัมพูชาภายใต้สภาพแวดล้อมที่เผชิญการกดดันจากภาคประชาชนในประเทศและความสัมพันธ์ที่แนบแน่นกับจีน โดยจะมุ่งพิจารณาในสามระดับได้แก่ พฤติการณ์ของชาวจีนใหม่กับสังคมกัมพูชา ท่าทีของชาวกัมพูชาต่อการเข้ามาของชาวจีนกลุ่มนี้ และโครงสร้างพื้นฐานสถาบันทางสังคมของกัมพูชาที่เอื้อต่อการปรับตัวของชาวจีนใหม่ จากการศึกษาพบว่า ชาวจีนใหม่ไม่สามารถปรับตัวกับสังคมกัมพูชาได้เท่าที่ควร สาเหตุจากการที่ชาวจีนใหม่เลือกที่จะรักษาอัตลักษณ์ความเป็นจีนและไม่ปฏิสัมพันธ์กับคนกัมพูชา มีพฤติการณ์ไม่เคารพระเบียบกฎหมายท้องถิ่น และก่ออาชญากรรมสร้างความขัดแย้งกับคนกัมพูชา ด้วยเหตุนี้ การเข้ามาของชาวจีนใหม่จึงก่อให้เกิดผลกระทบทางสังคมและสิ่งแวดล้อมของกัมพูชาและสร้างกระแสต่อต้านชาวจีนในกัมพูชาที่เพิ่มมากขึ้น โดยที่กัมพูชายังไม่มีโครงสร้างสถาบันทางสังคมเพียงพอที่จะแก้ไขปัญหาความขัดแย้งหรือดูแลชาวจีนกลุ่มนี้อย่างจริงจัง ประกอบกับในภาวะมิติความสัมพันธ์ที่แนบแน่นระหว่างประเทศของกัมพูชากับจีน เป็นความท้าทายของรัฐบาลกัมพูชาในการกำหนดแนวทางหรือบังคับใช้มาตรการต่อชาวจีนใหม่ได้อย่างเสรีภาพและมีประสิทธิภาพ ซึ่งสะท้อนให้เห็นถึงความล้มเหลวในการใช้อำนาจรัฐ จนทำให้ผลกระทบจากชาวจีนใหม่มีแนวโน้มก่อให้เกิดปัญหาเรื้อรังทางสังคม

อุตสาหกรรมภาพยนตร์กับ Soft Power ของจีน: กรณีศึกษาภาพยนต์ของ เจียจางเค่อ, ธนาภัทร ธานีรัตน์
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
สารนิพนธ์ฉบับนี้มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อศึกษานโยบายและข้อจำกัดในการเผยแพร่วัฒนธรรมของจีนผ่านภาพยนตร์ ศึกษาจุดแข็งและจุดอ่อนของการดำเนินนโยบายเผยแพร่วัฒนธรรมของจีนผ่านภาพยนตร์ และศึกษาผลกระทบต่อภาพลักษณ์จีนในเวทีระหว่างประเทศต่อการเผยแพร่ภาพยนตร์ที่สะท้อนภาพลักษณ์ทางสังคมจีน ซึ่งในการศึกษาครั้งนี้ ใช้การวิจัยเชิงคุณภาพแบบวิจัยเชิงเอกสารเป็นหลัก โดยเน้นนโยบายและยุทธศาสตร์ที่เกี่ยวข้องกับอุตสาหกรรมภาพยนตร์ของจีน และผลงานภาพยนตร์ของ เจีย จางเค่อ 3 เรื่อง ได้แก่ Still Life (2006), 24 City (2008) และ A Touch of Sin (2013) มาประกอบการวิเคราะห์ ผลการศึกษาพบว่า บทบาทภาพยนตร์อาจเป็นเครื่องมือของรัฐในการทำหน้าที่ในแง่ของ Soft Power ที่รัฐพยายามพัฒนาภาพลักษณ์ของชาติ แต่ผลลัพธ์จากการที่จีนพยายามทุ่มเทกับการใช้ทรัพยากรดังกล่าวไม่สามารถทำให้ประเทศในเวทีระหว่างประเทศคล้อยตามได้เสมอไป เพราะภาพยนตร์ไม่ใช่เป็นเครื่องมือที่น่าเชื่อถือในการส่งเสริมภาพลักษณ์หรือเอกลักษณ์ของประเทศให้ดีขึ้น (เพื่อจุดประสงค์การเพิ่ม Soft Power) ดังนั้นการผลิตหรือส่งออกภาพยนตร์ที่มากขึ้นไม่ได้หมายถึงการเพิ่ม Soft Power เสมอไป ซึ่งเจียได้แสดงให้เห็นว่าบทบาทของภาพยนตร์เป็นได้มากกว่าแค่เครื่องมือของรัฐเพื่อการส่งเสริมภาพลักษณ์ที่ดีและการสร้างอำนาจให้กับรัฐ การที่ประเทศใดประเทศหนึ่งมีอุตสาหกรรมบันเทิงที่น่าดึงดูดอาจสวนทางกับภาพลักษณ์ที่ดีที่รัฐพยายามส่งเสริม หรือสิ่งที่น่าดึงดูดกลับกลายมาจากภาพยนตร์ไม่ใช่เพราะแรงดึงดูดจากประเทศนั้น
The Great Upheaval: Women And Nation In Postwar Nigeria, Judith A. Byfield
The Great Upheaval: Women And Nation In Postwar Nigeria, Judith A. Byfield
Ohio University Press Open Access Books
This social and intellectual history of women’s political activism in postwar Nigeria reveals the importance of gender to the study of nationalism and poses new questions about Nigeria’s colonial past and independent future.
In the years following World War II, the women of Abeokuta, Nigeria, staged a successful tax revolt that led to the formation first of the Abeokuta Women’s Union and then of Nigeria’s first national women’s organization, the Nigerian Women’s Union, in 1949. These organizations became central to a new political vision, a way for women across Nigeria to define their interests, desires, and needs while fulfilling the …

The research applies spatial concepts and multiscalar methodological applications embedded within GIS and geovisualization to explore the complex spaces surrounding public policy implementation and evaluation.
[Introduction To] Paradoxes Of Care: Children And Global Medical Aid In Egypt., Rania Kassab Sweis
[Introduction To] Paradoxes Of Care: Children And Global Medical Aid In Egypt., Rania Kassab Sweis
Bookshelf
Each year, billions of dollars are spent on global humanitarian health initiatives. These efforts are intended to care for suffering bodies, especially those of distressed children living in poverty. But as global medical aid can often overlook the local economic and political systems that cause bodily suffering, it can also unintentionally prolong the very conditions that hurt children and undermine local aid givers. Investigating medical humanitarian encounters in Egypt, Paradoxes of Care illustrates how child aid recipients and local aid experts grapple with global aid's shortcomings and its paradoxical outcomes.
Rania Kassab Sweis examines how some of the world's largest …
The ‘Global South’ In The Study Of World Politics: Examining A Meta Category, Sebastian Haug, Jacqueline Braveboy-Wagner, Günther Maihold
The ‘Global South’ In The Study Of World Politics: Examining A Meta Category, Sebastian Haug, Jacqueline Braveboy-Wagner, Günther Maihold
Publications and Research
This introductory contribution examines the ‘Global South’ as a meta category in the study of world politics. Against the backdrop of a steep rise in references to the ‘Global South’ across academic publications, we ask whether and how the North–South binary in general, and the ‘(Global) South’ in particular, can be put to use analytically. Building on meta categories as tools for the classification of global space, we discuss the increasing prominence of the ‘Global South’ and then outline different understandings attached to it, notably socio-economic marginality, multilateral alliance-building and resistance against global hegemonic power. Following an overview of individual …
Catalan Identity And Paradiplomacy Strategy In Catalonia’S Independence Movement, Windy Dermawan, Akim Akim
Catalan Identity And Paradiplomacy Strategy In Catalonia’S Independence Movement, Windy Dermawan, Akim Akim
Global: Jurnal Politik Internasional
This article seeks to analyse how Catalan identity, within the context of its conflict with the Spanish government, contributes to its foreign relations with the global public through paradiplomacy. This article uses qualitative research method with literature study. It finds that Catalonia, as one of Spain’s autonomous regions, have a distinct history, language, and culture from other Spanish regions. To protect their identity, there have been an emergence of movement for greater Catalan autonomy, even independence. This conflict reached climax on 1 October 2017 when the Catalan government initiated an independence referendum amongst Catalan people, with the majority voted for …

Max Weber's Living Legacy, Hermann Kurthen
Max Weber's Living Legacy, Hermann Kurthen
Peer Reviewed Articles
June 14, 2020 was the hundred-year anniversary of Max Weber's death. He died in Munich at age 56 after most likely contracting the Spanish flu. He is often considered one of the founding fathers of sociology next to Marx and Durkheim, despite Weber resisting this label. Given Weber's worldwide reception, his enduring relevance for sociology and beyond is unbroken, even though he left a huge unfinished work not intended as a conventional sociological grand theory but as a historical-comparative attempt to understand how humans interact within their social environment and how they construct a social reality of their own making. …

How Palestinian Aid Organizations Adapt To The Possibility Of Further Annexation And Rights Abuses In The Wake Of "The Deal Of The Century", Nadia L. Wiggins
How Palestinian Aid Organizations Adapt To The Possibility Of Further Annexation And Rights Abuses In The Wake Of "The Deal Of The Century", Nadia L. Wiggins
Capstone Collection
This research explores the question, “To what extent has the ‘Deal of the Century’ impacted Palestinian aid organizations, and how might it impact them in the future?” The significance of this question lies in the fact that the “Deal of the Century” claims to solve one of the longest and most complex conflicts, yet it has not been sufficiently analyzed from a Palestinian perspective nor a humanitarian perspective. Furthermore, by presenting scholarly critiques of the deal and aid worker’s concerns, my hope is that an American audience may be convinced of the complicity of our government in devising a failed …
Brazil, Big Hydro, And A Beautiful Monster: “Green” Energy Generation In The Xingu River Basin, Ian F. Hirons
Brazil, Big Hydro, And A Beautiful Monster: “Green” Energy Generation In The Xingu River Basin, Ian F. Hirons
Student Works
Brazil is quickly becoming an influential actor on the world stage of geopolitics. The nation has achieved global economic and environmental recognition due to the extensive development of its hydrological resources in the form of hydroelectric power plants. As the world’s second greatest generator of hydroelectricity, Brazil has proven a staunch adherence to building dams in the large-scale. Though these dams have brought electricity to millions of people across the country, the socio-ecological toll inflicted by their construction has been devastating to natural biomes and local inhabitants. This article traces Brazil’s proclivity for large-scale hydropower to four motivational categories often …

Failure To Protect: Why The International Community Will Fail To Respond To The Cultural Genocide Of Turkish Cypriot People, Hilmi Ulas
Peace Studies Faculty Articles and Research
The international community has time and again committed to never let genocide occur again – however, multiple bouts of genocide have occurred since the Holocaust. This, in addition to the current quandaries surrounding the Uyghurs of China, points to the fact that the international laws and institutions have loopholes that allow for genocides – especially those that enact structural and cultural violence without necessarily employing direct violence – to ‘slip through’.
This has been the case in spite of R2P policies being in place. In this paper, I examine the inability of international systems to capture ‘cultural genocide’ or intervene …
Nationalism In The Age Of Brexit: The Attitudes And Identities Of Young Voters, Emma Wolkenstein
Nationalism In The Age Of Brexit: The Attitudes And Identities Of Young Voters, Emma Wolkenstein
Honors College Theses
The Brexit referendum marked the first time in the United Kingdom when political lines were drawn along distinct generational lines. In 2016, 73% of young people, aged 18-24, and less than 40% of older voters, aged 65 and over, voted to Remain. In comparison, over 60% of older voters and only 27% of young voters voted to Leave (Fig. 1). Voters aged 25 to 64 remained fairly split between two options, but the difference between older and younger generations is incredibly significant (Kelly 2016). Voter differences have historically been between socioeconomic classes; the urban and the rural, the wealthy and …

Design/methodology/approach: This paper combines literature review with assessment. The authors use existing literature on …
Being Unfolded: Edith Stein On The Meaning Of Being, Robert Mcnamara
Being Unfolded: Edith Stein On The Meaning Of Being, Robert Mcnamara
International Dialogue
What is the meaning of being? More concretely, “What do human beings and quarks, ideal geometrical shapes and possible worlds, ‘sickness’ and ‘health’, the number three and gravity all have in common that allows us to say that each of them is?” (xvii). In Being Unfolded, Thomas Gricoski attempts to get to the bottom of this perennially valid question by exploring the question of the meaning of being in one of Edith Stein’s later philosophical works, the phenomenological and Scholastic study, Finite and Eternal Being: An Attempt to Ascend to the Meaning of Being [Endliches und ewiges Sein: Versuch eines …
100 Years After Suffrage: Just How Far Have Women Come?, Laura Merrifield Wilson
100 Years After Suffrage: Just How Far Have Women Come?, Laura Merrifield Wilson
Midwest Social Sciences Journal
Women earned the right to vote 100 years ago with the ratification of the 19th Amendment, effectively ending the suffrage movement that had transpired over generations. Their hard-won victory doubled the American electorate and provided women with an essential right of citizenship of which they had long been deprived. Not all women were welcomed at the polling place, though, and the exclusion of women of color, particularly in the Jim Crow South, revealed yet another barrier to eventually be struck down. In the 100 years since women earned their right to vote, they have begun “outvoting” their male counterparts and …

Gentrification And Racial Transformation In One Neighborhood In The City Of Cincinnati During The Great Recession, Evelyn D. Ravuri
Gentrification And Racial Transformation In One Neighborhood In The City Of Cincinnati During The Great Recession, Evelyn D. Ravuri
Midwest Social Sciences Journal
This article examines the process of gentrification and racial transition in one neighborhood in Cincinnati between 2000 and 2016. Madisonville (Tract 55) was defined as a racially integrated middle-class neighborhood in the 1970s. In the early 2000s, substantial private and public investments in the neighborhood initiated the process of gentrification and an in-migration of wealthier (mostly white) residents. This revitalization of Madisonville coincided with the Great Recession of 2008 and with a massive exodus of the middle-class African American population. Median housing values and median rent in Madisonville increased significantly between 2010 and 2016, indicating that cost of living had …

Trust, Ethnicity, And Political Approval In 21st Century South Africa, Alecia Anderson, Jonathan Bruce Santo
Trust, Ethnicity, And Political Approval In 21st Century South Africa, Alecia Anderson, Jonathan Bruce Santo
International Dialogue
Trust is a requirement for state legitimacy, however, the relationship between trust and political approval in South Africa is under-investigated, leaving the legitimacy of the South African state questionable. In this study, we use Afrobarometer data from 2004, 2008, and 2012 to investigate citizens’ perspectives on trust and political approval. Using structural equation modeling, we analyze the impact of ethnicity on the relationship between trust and political approval in South Africa. The results are clear that ethnic identity continues to influence the relationship between trust and approval of political offices and policies in South Africa.

Colonizationism Versus Abolitionism In The Antebellum North: The Anti-Slavery Society Of Hanover College And Indiana Theological Seminary (1836) Versus The Hanover College Officers, Board Of Trustees, And Faculty, J Michael Raley
Midwest Social Sciences Journal
In March 1836, nine Hanover College and Indiana Theological Seminary students, almost certainly including Benjamin Franklin Templeton, a former slave enrolled in the seminary, formed an antislavery society. The society’s Preamble and Constitution set forth abolitionist ideals demanding an immediate emancipation of Southern slaves with rights of citizenship and “without expatriation.” Thus they encountered the ire of Hanover’s Presbyterian trustees—colonizationists who believed instead that free blacks and educated slaves, gradually and voluntarily emancipated by their owners, should leave the United States and relocate to Liberia, where they would experience greater opportunity, equality, and justice than was possible here in the …
Tribalism And Democracy, Seth Davis
Tribalism And Democracy, Seth Davis
William & Mary Law Review
Americans have long talked about “tribalism” as a way of talking about their democracy. In recent years, for example, commentators have pointed to “political tribalism” as what ails American democracy. According to this commentary, tribalism is incompatible with democracy. Some commentators have cited Indian Tribes as evidence to support this incompatibility thesis, and the thesis has surfaced within federal Indian law and policy in various guises up to the present day with disastrous consequences for Indian Tribes. Yet much of the talk about tribalism and democracy—within federal Indian law, and also without it—has had little to do with actual tribes. …

A Comparison Of Self-Control Measures And Drug And Alcohol Use Among College Students, Brooke E. Mathna, Jennifer J. Roberts, Marthinus C. Koen
A Comparison Of Self-Control Measures And Drug And Alcohol Use Among College Students, Brooke E. Mathna, Jennifer J. Roberts, Marthinus C. Koen
Midwest Social Sciences Journal
Research has shown a link between drug and alcohol behaviors and self-control; however, much of the research focuses on only the general theory of crime (Gottfredson and Hirschi 1990), without regard to Hirschi’s (2004) self-control theory. The purpose of the current study is to examine three measures of Hirschi’s self-control theory and to understand the link between Hirschi’s self-control theory and drug and alcohol behaviors. This study draws from a sample of undergraduate college students (N = 640) to examine the role of Hirschi’s self-control in the explanation of drug and alcohol behaviors. The current study uses a previous measure …
