Reflections On The Strategy Of A Continental Commander: Admiral Franz Hipper On Naval Warfare, Tobias R. Philbin Iii Jun 2018

Reflections On The Strategy Of A Continental Commander: Admiral Franz Hipper On Naval Warfare, Tobias R. Philbin Iii

Naval War College Review

There are many similarities in the strategic position of Germany before 1914 and the Soviet Union today. Analogy is no substitute for analysis, but insight into past events can educate our minds—and those of our potential enemies as well—so that we are better able to gain wise and valid insights into current and future situations.

Professional Reading: "Can America Win The Next War?", H. G. Nott, Thomas H. Etzold, John Gaddis, Wayne Stephens

Naval War College Review

Believing that conflict characterizes human affairs and that the Soviet leadership considers conflict inevitable and is preparing for it, Drew Middleton, long a military correspondent for The New York Times, suggests that sooner or later the United States may be at war again.


Little Russia: Patterns In Migration, Settlement, And The Articulation Of Ethnic Identity Among Portland's Volga Germans, Heather Ann Viets Jun 2018

Little Russia: Patterns In Migration, Settlement, And The Articulation Of Ethnic Identity Among Portland's Volga Germans, Heather Ann Viets

Dissertations and Theses

The Volga Germans assert a particular ethnic identity to articulate their complex history as a multinational community even in the absence of traditional practices in language, religious piety, and communal lifestyle. Across multiple migrations and settlements from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, the Volga Germans' self-constructed group identity served historically as a tool with which to navigate uncertain politics of belonging. As subjects of imperial Russia's eighteenth-century colonization project the Volga Germans held a privileged legal status in accordance with their settlement in the Volga River region, but their subsequent loss of privileges under the reorganization and Russification of …

Living With The Promise Of Violence: The State And Indigenous People In A Militarized Frontier, Augusto B.; Gatmaytan Jun 2018

Living With The Promise Of Violence: The State And Indigenous People In A Militarized Frontier, Augusto B.; Gatmaytan

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Despite its significance in postwar Philippine history and its continuing relevance today, scholars have largely neglected militarization, especially as experienced by indigenous peoples. Drawing on fieldwork data from 2009 to 2010, thisarticle outlines a phenomenology of the terror experienced by an indigenous community in Agusan del Sur province at the hands of state paramilitary forces involving their own datu. Neil Whitehead’s “poetics of violence” is applied to the analysis of the community’s understanding of the state and its violence. It ends with reflections on the relevance of the community’s experience in relation to issues of continuing “Lumad killings” and the …

Towards A Destructive, Unmonumental, Queer Hagiography: FéLix GonzáLez Torres And The Spiritual- Activist Potential Of Destruction, Daniel Santiago SáEnz Tabares Jun 2018

Towards A Destructive, Unmonumental, Queer Hagiography: FéLix GonzáLez Torres And The Spiritual- Activist Potential Of Destruction, Daniel Santiago SáEnz Tabares

Conexión Queer: Revista Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Teologías Queer

This article presents an examination of two artworks by the late Cuban- American artist Félix González Torres, focusing primarily on the destructive strategies and theological potential of his work. After describing the activist and counter-monumental dimensions of «Untitled» (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) (1991) and «Untitled» (Lover Boys) (1991), the author examines these two pieces, as well as the artist’s life more generally, through the lens of queer martyrdom and queer theology to postulate a hagiographic take on González Torres’ life and oeuvre. Far from a definitive biographical study, this analysis is the result of interdisciplinary research mixed with …


Iago The Moor Killer: The Geo-Political Context Behind Shakespeare's Othello, Elisha A. Hamlin Jun 2018

Iago The Moor Killer: The Geo-Political Context Behind Shakespeare's Othello, Elisha A. Hamlin

Honors Projects

Shakespeare’s Othello is often viewed as an example of seventeenth century Renaissance binaries. Critics make distinctions when reading the play between hero and villain, Moors and Europeans, and between civilization and barbarity. These definitions are all complicated by Iago’s presence in the play. Iago, whose name implies he is actually a Spaniard, frames the play in a geo-political context. Because of Iago’s presence, Othello provides a picture of England’s position in the seventeenth century geo-political climate. Shakespeare is giving his English audience a particular political message.


Globalization, Conflict, And The Effects Of The Rate Of Change Of Globalization: An Empirical Analysis, Ashley Stephens Jun 2018

Globalization, Conflict, And The Effects Of The Rate Of Change Of Globalization: An Empirical Analysis, Ashley Stephens

Honors Projects

The world is becoming increasingly more interconnected with technological advances leading to more and more globalization. It is important to see how globalization affects society, especially in the lesser developed post-conflict regions of Africa. The theories of liberalism, Marxism, and realism all offer plausible, yet strikingly different theories on the relationship between globalization and conflict. This paper conceptually examines the dominant theories of globalization and conflict, then uses open-source panel data on globalization and conflict in Africa to empirically test which theory is supported by the data, then tests if there is a correlation between the rate of globalization and …


The Importance Of Information In International Relations, Njabulo Bruce Khumalo, Miniyothabo Baloyi Jun 2018

The Importance Of Information In International Relations, Njabulo Bruce Khumalo, Miniyothabo Baloyi

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Information and information technologies are steering international relations as they have fostered collaborations and even wars. Competition for information and information products have resulted in massive cyber-attacks and information wars. Information is being used by different countries for economic and political gains and this has brought about information theft and manipulation over the cyber. Information has become a central and key driver in international relations. However, different countries are not aware of the exact extent of the importance of information in international relations. This has made them not pay attention to securing their information and information products and even not …

The Trafalgar Syndrome: Jutland And The Indecisiveness Of Modern Naval Warfare, J.A. English Jun 2018

The Trafalgar Syndrome: Jutland And The Indecisiveness Of Modern Naval Warfare, J.A. English

Naval War College Review

It might appear presumptuous to quote a soldier at the outset of what is essentially a naval paper; however, if one recalls that "Generals-at-Sea" were the first admirals, one is reminded of the basic indivisibility of warfare in which light Wellington's remark remains most apposite. That Jellicoe's Jutland flagship was named the Iron Duke adds to the appeal of the quotation.


The War Of Unengaged Forces - Superpowers At Sea In An Era Of Competitive Coexistence, Russell L. Madison Jun 2018

The War Of Unengaged Forces - Superpowers At Sea In An Era Of Competitive Coexistence, Russell L. Madison

Naval War College Review

In this age, the terms "war" and "peace" do not suffice to describe the complex realities with which the statesman and the soldier must grapple. "Unengaged force warfare" is a concept that transcends this difficulty and allows us to examine the critical challenges that face our nation today. The most active frontier in unengaged force warfare at present is at sea, and it is here that the eventual outcome of unengaged force warfare may well be decided.
