Problem-Solving Negotiation: Northern Ireland's Experience With The Women's Coalition Symposium, Jacqueline Nolan-Haley, Bronagh Hinds Jan 2003

Problem-Solving Negotiation: Northern Ireland's Experience With The Women's Coalition Symposium, Jacqueline Nolan-Haley, Bronagh Hinds

Faculty Scholarship

This paper is part of a Symposium that considered the relevance of domestic conflict resolution theories in broader cultural contexts. The Northern Ireland Women's Coalition (Women's Coalition) participated in the negotiations leading up to the 1998 Good Friday/Belfast Agreement. Members of the Woman's Coalition responded to thirty years of sectarian violence with a negotiation process based on accommodation, inclusion, and relationship building, concepts that resonate with American-style problem-solving negotiation. Using the Women's Coalition as a case study, this Article suggests that there are procedural aspects of problem-solving negotiation theory that may work across domains, specifically in multi-party, intractable conflict situations, …

Characterization Of A Missle Flyout Simulation, Russell Louis Tinsley Jan 2003

Characterization Of A Missle Flyout Simulation, Russell Louis Tinsley

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This thesis develops a systematic approach to exploring the response of a missile flyout software simulation to input noise. The research is intended to augment the current characterization tests employed by the Electronic Warfare Testing community. This thesis explores the direct relationship between specific input noise signals and individual simulation responses. The design defines an approach for characterizing the behavior of a deterministic simulation of tremendous complexity by controlling test conditions. Techniques for generating realistic random noise are derived. A statistical model of the relationship between input noise missile miss distance at the point of closest approach is presented. The …

United States Civil-Military Relations: Finding Equilibrium In The Changing National Security Environment, Sean W Pascoli Jan 2003

United States Civil-Military Relations: Finding Equilibrium In The Changing National Security Environment, Sean W Pascoli

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

There has been an ongoing debate for several years on the "crisis" that has developed in American civil-military relations. The U.S. military has been criticized for inappropriate behavior and insubordination to civilian control. Some scholars believe that the American military has become an independent bureaucracy, more concerned with its own interests as opposed to national security; While there is evidence of problems demanding attention, these issues are more symptomatic of the traditional ebb and flow of American civil-military relations. Although there is no "crisis", the American military's attempts to dictate when and where it will intervene with force (i.e. the …

Enforcing Environmental Norms: Diplomatic And Judicial Approaches, Nicholas A. Robinson Jan 2003

Enforcing Environmental Norms: Diplomatic And Judicial Approaches, Nicholas A. Robinson

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Environmental norms are observed because they are norms about how people respect each other and the natural systems that sustain human communities. Environmental norms are basic to human well-being. They arise out of the human condition, not unlike human rights laws. Environmental norms emerge from the fact that humans exist within ecosystems, and human society is embedded in the natural systems in which they have evolved; environmental norms are grounded in an objective reality, and scientists can measure the consequences of observing--or failing to observe--those norms. The provisions of environmental norms, therefore, exist not merely as pronouncements of governments, applied …

Enforcing Arms Control Agreements By Military Force: Iraq And The 800-Pound Gorilla, Davis Brown Jan 2003

Enforcing Arms Control Agreements By Military Force: Iraq And The 800-Pound Gorilla, Davis Brown

UC Law SF International Law Review

Despite Iraq's complete disdain for international law, the community of States, acting in accordance with international law, had allowed the Ba'ath regime to remain in power. Iraq therefore enjoyed the benefits of the principles of sovereign equality, non-interference with internal affairs, and, for the most part, non-use of force, without shouldering any of the responsibilities that come with the privilege of recognition as a State. This article begins with a presentation of a new approach to jus ad bellum which takes just war theory to the next level, where force is used as a remedy to a grave injury caused …

Visualized Narratives: Editorial Cartoonists Respond To 9/11, Janis L. Edwards Jan 2003

Visualized Narratives: Editorial Cartoonists Respond To 9/11, Janis L. Edwards

Iowa Journal of Communication

The violent episodes of September 11th were occasions where visual domains dominated, helping to shape the interpretation of events as an "Attack on America." An examination of the depictive rhetoric used by political cartoonists to place 9/11 in larger interpretive frame works reveals developing narratives of national unity, heroism, and patriotic sacrifice that reflect and contribute to a nationalistic ethos and a nostalgia for a mythic interpretation of terrorist acts as acts of war. The role of editorial cartoons in the construction and maintenance of social and political values is underscored.

Yahoo! Cyber-Collision Of Cultures: Who Regulates?, Horatia Muir Watt Jan 2003

Yahoo! Cyber-Collision Of Cultures: Who Regulates?, Horatia Muir Watt

Michigan Journal of International Law

This Article furthers this comparison of cyberconflicts and the real world, attempting to ascertain what lessons, if any, can be drawn from it. Part I of the Article explores the interests at stake in cyberconflicts and the relationship between technology and the law. Part II uses the French Yahoo! court's decision to show that real-world conceptions of prescriptive jurisdiction retain their legitimacy in cyberspace. Finally, Part III notes that the prospect of near perfect compliance offered by Internet technology provides the opportunity to engineer mature, well-calibrated solutions to international regulatory conflicts, which might then even serve as a model in …

"Argument Is War"-Or Is It A Game Of Chess? : Multiple Meanings In The Analysis Of Implicit Metaphors, L. David Ritchie Jan 2003

"Argument Is War"-Or Is It A Game Of Chess? : Multiple Meanings In The Analysis Of Implicit Metaphors, L. David Ritchie

Communication Faculty Publications and Presentations

Both Lakoff and Johnson (1980) and Vervaeke and Kennedy (1996), in their critique of Lakoff and Johnson, drew narrowly from a broad range of reasonable interpretations of the metaphors they analyzed. Expanding the interpretations vitiates many of Vervaeke and Kennedy's criticisms, but it supports their call for an open interpretation of groups of metaphors and points toward a more complex elaboration of the theories put forth by Lakoff and Johnson. The results of applying this approach to "ARGUMENT IS WAR" suggest that war is not necessarily the primary conceptual metaphor for contentious argument, as Lakoff and Johnson claimed. Rather, there …

The Evolving Legal Status Of Chimpanzees Jan 2003

The Evolving Legal Status Of Chimpanzees

Animal Law Review

On September 30, 2002, Harvard Law School hosted a legal symposium sponsored by the Chimpanzee Collaboratory's Legal Committee. The symposium featured speakers with expertise on chimpanzees, as well as legal scholars and lawyers who discussed the possibility of obtaining legal rights for chimpanzees and other great apes. This symposium sought to advance the argument that chimpanzees are entitled to some degree of legal status, and the speakers presented a range of views about how far such legal rights should extend. These remarks reflect the connection between the growning scientific understanding of chimpanzees and the advances in related legal doctrines. This …

There Is A Place Like Home A Personal Journey Through The Bosnian War, Jelena Ljustina Jan 2003

There Is A Place Like Home A Personal Journey Through The Bosnian War, Jelena Ljustina

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

Yugoslavia's first draft was created in 1918 when, in wake of World War I, Southern Slavs united in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. The new nation was founded of remnants of a troubled history: From the mid-15th century to the late 1800s, the Ottoman Turks controlled most of the area. Then followed another thirty years of Austro-Hungarian dominance. It is important to note that the South Slavs descended from the same people who migrated to the Balkan peninsula in the sixth and seventh centuries A.D. and who, under various foreign rulers, converted to one of the three main …

Military Transformation And The Defense Industry After Next, Peter J. Dombrowski, Eugene Gholz, Andrew L. Ross Jan 2003

Military Transformation And The Defense Industry After Next, Peter J. Dombrowski, Eugene Gholz, Andrew L. Ross

Newport Papers

Though still adjusting to the end of the Cold War, the defense industry is now confronted with the prospect of military transformation. Since the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, many firms have seen business improve in response to the subsequent large increase in the defense budget. But in the longer run, the defense sector's military customers intend to reinvent themselves for a future that may require the acquisition of unfamiliar weapons and support systems.
