The Regime Legitimacy Of One-China: How The Vatican Can Make China Whole Again, Jonathan David Bradley
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Currently, the sovereign state of Vatican City does not formally recognize the People's Republic of China.

Smyrna's Ashes: Humanitarianism, Genocide And The Birth Of The Middle East, Michelle Tusan
Smyrna's Ashes: Humanitarianism, Genocide And The Birth Of The Middle East, Michelle Tusan
History Faculty Research
Today the West tends to understand the Middle East primarily in terms of geopolitics: Islam, oil, and nuclear weapons. But in the nineteenth century it was imagined differently. The interplay of geography and politics found definition in a broader set of concerns that understood the region in terms of the moral, humanitarian, and religious commitments of the British empire. Smyrna’s Ashes reevaluates how this story of the “Eastern Question” shaped the cultural politics of geography, war, and genocide in the mapping of a larger Middle East after World War I.
