"Coming soon to a neighborhood near you...": The very real effects and great human costs of fake news : A critical discourse analysis of Breitbart News Network's representation of Muslim and Syrian refugees in the weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election

LaChine, John January 2017 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze how a Breitbart News Network text represented Muslim and Syrian refugees in the weeks leading up to the 2016 United States presidential election. Using a methodological framework based on Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis, the analysis seeks to reveal the linguistic semiotic choices made by the text producer in the representation of Muslim and Syrian refugees and to explain how these semiotic choices were used to achieve their effect. By revealing these linguistic semiotic choices, the beliefs, attitudes, and ideologies that are present in the text─ but not necessarily easily seen─ can be brought out into the open. Once out in the open, they can be critically questioned, contested,  and they can be examined to find out how their beliefs, attitudes, and ideologies can be understood to have destructive consequences on the audience and the groups of people they represent.

China's development of asymmetric warfare and the security of Taiwan, Republic of China

Jinn, Guo-Woei 12 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release; distribution in unlimited. / The military changes that have transformed global politics in recent years - especially since the end of the Cold War - have brought about a new revolution in military affairs (RMA) by the United States. The PLA has begun to study the RMA by focusing on asymmetric warfare capabilities under high technological conditions. China believes that asymmetric operations have the advantages of enabling a swift and precise attack and avoiding mass destruction on Taiwan's infrastructure and hightech industry. They also have the benefits of low intensity, low collateral damage, high efficiency, fast attack, and fast victory. In summary, asymmetric operations are regarded by the PLA as a kind of warfare that conforms both with the dictum of China's ancient war theorist Sun Tzu to "defeat the enemy without bloodshed and fighting" and the demands of a modern economy. In the face of China's development of asymmetric capabilities, Taiwan should think about how best to confront and counter China's threats and to gain a military edge over China.

Politique étrangère et sécurité nationale d'un petit État : analyse de l'action du Gabon pour la paix et la sécurité en Afrique Centrale, une politique extérieure au service de la construction et de la préservation de l'intérieur / Foreign policy and National Security of a small State : analysis of the action of Gabon for the peace and the security in Central Africa, a foreign policy in the service of the construction and the conservation of the inside

Mvé ebang, Bruno 27 March 2014 (has links)
L’Afrique est la région du monde, dans laquelle, existe le plus grand nombre de crises armées sanglantes. Depuis les indépendances, cette région n’a jamais véritablement connu de paix et de sécurité dans toutes ses entités régionales. Dans ce sombre tableau africain, l’Afrique centrale occupe une place peu enviable. Abandonnée à son triste sort à la fin de la Guerre Froide, des pays, tel que le Gabon, décidèrent de particulièrement orienter leur politique étrangère dans le but d’aider les États en crises, de son environnement immédiat, à recouvrir une certaine stabilité mais surtout dans une logique de sécurisation nationale. Petit pays d’Afrique centrale, le Gabon ressent les effets de l’instabilité régionale persistante. Cet engagement gabonais pour la paix n’est pas né avec son accession à la souveraineté. Il s’est construit au fil des années. Son action pour sa construction et sa sécurité nationale n’a jamais eu pour but de reproduire, exactement, le même modèle de stabilité qu’il connait mais, uniquement, d’arriver aux silences des armes. Il est évident que comme tout engagement politique, l’action r gabonaise présente certaines limites et l’État devrait prendre des mesures pour que l’objectif de sécurité nationale soit atteint sans ambages. Néanmoins, l’action de tel pays est importante car en priorisant le dialogue, ils fournissent un travail de fourmis qui arrive, tout de même, à mettre un terme aux effusions de sang et à leur tendance au débordement. / Africa is the region of the world, in which, exists the largest number of bloody armed crises. Since the independences, this region has never really known peace and security in all its regional entities. In this somber african board, Central Africa occupies an unenviable place. Abandoned in its sad fate at the end of the Cold War, countries, such as the Gabon, decided to direct particularly their foreign policy with the aim of helping states in crises, of its immediate environment, to cover a certain stability But especially in a logic of national reassurance. Small country of Central Africa, the Gabon feels the effects of the persistent regional instability. This Gabonese commitment for the peace was not born with its entry in the sovereignty. It built itself over the years. Its action for its building and national security has never aimed at reproducing exactly the same model of stability which it can but only arrive at the silence of weapons. It is obvious that as any political commitment, the gabonese regional action presents certain limits and the state should take measures aiming at a better international assertion. Nevertheless, the action of such country is important because by prioritizing the dialogue, they supply a painstaking job which manages, all the same, to put an end to the bloodsheds and to their tendency to the overflowing.

International Anarchy & the American Leviathan : A study in the moral and empirical applications of Hobbes’ concept of anarchy to American Foreign policy

Martinsdotter, Nathalie, Johansson, Elias January 2019 (has links)
The current president of the United States, Donald Trump, has been identified as the reason for a large shift in American foreign policy towards a doctrine closer to that of political realism. This claim has led us to examine if this transformation could be detected and described if we analyzed and compared Trump’s foreign policy doctrine with his predecessor, Barack Obama, through the lens Thomas Hobbes, whose ideas are at the core of the three modern schools of political realism. Accordingly, in this thesis, we deduce an analytical framework from the original corpus of Hobbes, where anarchy is divided into moral and empirical variables, identified as the primary factors for behavior in international settings. This is then applied inductively via a comparative qualitative content analysis to two primary documents, the National Security Strategies of 2010 containing the foreign policy doctrine of Obama, and the National Security Strategy of 2017 containing the doctrine of Trump. Our thesis shows a large shift in how the Presidents view the world in moral terms, or how they see it fit for the American executive to act on the international stage. And a relatively minor shift in empirical terms, or their perception of the foundational reality of the world system which they both consider to be of an anarchical nature closely connected to the theoretical model presented by our interpretation of Hobbes

A atuação internacional do Japão no século XXI: as transformações da Doutrina Yoshida como norteadora do posicionamento internacional do país / The International Performance of Japan in the 21st Century: the transformations of the Yoshida Doctrine as the guideline of Japans international position

Silva, Barbara Dantas Mendes da 27 April 2018 (has links)
Este trabalho tem o objetivo de observar as alterações da Doutrina Yoshida como norteadora do posicionamento internacional do Japão no início do século XXI. Para isso, abordaremos a relevância que o Leste Asiático tem para a delimitação das ameaças e como a lógica regional influencia diretamente a atuação do país, principalmente quanto aos temas de segurança. Utilizar-se-á a teoria dos complexos regionais de segurança para compreender a forma de inserção internacional do Japão, bem como embasar o aspecto de instabilidade que levaram às alterações da Doutrina Yoshida. Dentre as principais ameaças ao país, destacamos a relação sino-japonesa e as disputas nas gray zones, bem como a nuclearização norte-coreana. A aliança com os EUA e outros países do entorno regional também serão analisadas a fim de corroborar com a atuação internacional do Japão. Abordaremos também como a criação da Estratégia Nacional de Segurança japonesa e o pacifismo proativo complementam os fundamentos da Doutrina Yoshida na manutenção dos interesses nacionais do país perante as crescentes instabilidades do entorno asiático. / This paper aims to observe the changes of the Yoshida Doctrine as the guideline of Japans international performance in the beginning of the 21st century. In order to do it, we will focus on the threats of East Asia region as well as the relevance of the regional logic and how it directly influences the country\'s performance, especially regarding security issues. The theory of regional security complexes is used to understand Japan\'s international insertion, as well as to base the instability aspect that led to the changes in the Yoshida Doctrine. Among the main threats to the country, we highlight the Sino-Japanese relationship and the disputes in the gray zones, besides the North Korean nuclear program. The US alliance, as other regional countries alliances will also be analyzed in order to corroborate with the international performance of Japan. We will also address how the creation of the Japanese National Security Strategy and proactive pacifism complement the fundamentals principles of the Yoshida Doctrine in order to maintain the countrys interests in the growing instability of the Asian environment.

Composed of six chapters, it presents, in the first, brief study in international law with the various forms that presents terrorism. The second chapter, in turn, presents the criminal constitutional principles in the face of new criminal methods. The third chapter assesses the legal interests emphasizing the aspect of collective protection of these interests and under the perspective of constitutional interpretation, thus providing a correct interpretation of the criminal standard. The draft of the 2012 penal code transacts before the Senate House with classification proposal of terrorism crime in Articles 239, 240, 241 and 242 being what this is all about in the fourth chapter. The fifth chapter analyzes Law 7.170/83, called National Security Law and issued during the military period and its non-responsiveness to existing constitutional principles. The sixth chapter examines the terrorist crime of political boundaries under the aspect of international law, thus presenting the issues of religious and racial intolerance, setting so the consequent violations of the guarantees of fundamental civil rights / O tema desta dissertação refere-se ao estudo do delito de terrorismo à luz da Constituição Federal de 1988, a partir da análise dos mandados expressos de criminalização previstos no artigo 5º, XLIII, que determinam a edição de norma penal para tipificar o delito de terrorismo. Composta por oito capítulos, apresenta, após a Introdução, em seu segundo capítulo, um breve estudo de direito comparado, revelando as diversas formas pelas quais o terrorismo se apresenta. O terceiro capítulo, por sua vez, apresenta os princípios constitucionais penais diante das novas modalidades criminosas. Os bens jurídicos são avaliados no quarto capítulo, que enfatiza o aspecto de proteção coletiva desses bens e a perspectiva da interpretação constitucional, proporcionando assim uma correta interpretação da norma penal. O anteprojeto do código penal de 2012 tramita perante o Senado Federal com proposta de tipificação do delito de terrorismo em seus artigos 239, 240, 241 e 242; este é o assunto tratado no quinto capítulo desta pesquisa. O sexto analisa a Lei nº7.170/83, denominada Lei de Segurança Nacional, editada no período militar, e sua receptividade pelos princípios constitucionais vigentes. Por fim, antecedendo a Conclusão desta pesquisa, são examinadas, no sétimo capítulo, as delimitações políticas do delito de terrorismo sob o aspecto do direito comparado, a partir da análise de questões de intolerância religiosa e racial que configuram violações às garantias dos direitos civis fundamentais

A Ação Democrática Mato-Grossense (ADEMAT) no sul de Mato Grosso : da ação política à articulação paramilitar (1963-1985)

Olegário, Thaís Fleck January 2018 (has links)
A Ação Democrática Mato-Grossense (ADEMAT) foi uma subsidiária do Instituto Brasileiro de Ação Democrática (IBAD) fundada em 1963 na cidade de Campo Grande (MT) e posteriormente em outros doze municípios deste estado. Entre seus anos de funcionamento dispôs de um quadro de sessenta e duas pessoas apenas nas cidades de Campo Grande e Cuiabá. No ano de sua fundação publicava uma coluna semanal no jornal O Matogrossense em Campo Grande, de caráter anticomunista, tendo veiculado vinte e uma edições. Após o golpe de 1964 realizou atividades repressivas constituindo-se em um grupo de ação paramilitar. O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar as práticas discursivas e repressivas da ADEMAT entre os anos de 1963 e 1985. Desse modo, é explorado quem foram os integrantes dessa organização, como se deu sua ação discursiva através da utilização da imprensa campo-grandense, quais redes de vínculos existiam entre seus membros e outras organizações, como a Associação dos Criadores do Sul de Mato Grosso (ACSMT) e a Associação Comercial e Industrial de Campo Grande (ACICG). Nos anos posteriores ao golpe analisa-se que tipo de atividades foram exercidas pela ADEMAT: sua atuação no fornecimento de informações ao comando da 9ª Região Militar, a perseguição política aos adversários e sua participação na indicação de cargos públicos vinculados ao aparelho repressivo. Para tanto foram utilizadas fontes periódicas, entrevistas, biografias e documentos do Serviço Nacional de Informações (SNI). / The Ação Democrática Mato-Grossense (ADEMAT) was a subsidiary of Instituto Brasileiro de Ação Democrática (IBAD) founded in 1963 in the city of Campo Grande (MT) and posteriorly in other twelve towns of this state. During its operation years, it disposed of a board of around sixty-two people only in the cities of Campo Grande and Cuiabá. In the year of later foundation, it used to publish a weekly column on the newspaper O Matogrossense in Campo Grande anti-communist, having conveyed twenty-one editions. After the 1964 coup, it practiced repressive activities constituting itself in a paramilitary action group. The objective of this dissertation is to analyze both discursive and repressive practices of ADEMAT between 1963 and 1985. That way, it is explored who were the members of this organization, how was its discursive action through the using of the campo-grandense press, what networks linking existed among its members and other organizations, like The Associação dos Criadores do Sul of Mato Grosso (ACSMT) and the Associação Comercial e Industrial of Campo Grande (ACICG). In the posterior years of the coup, it is analyzed which kind of activities were exercised by ADEMAT: like acting on the information supply for the command of the 9th Military Region, the political persecution towards the opponents and its participation on the indication of public posts linked to the repressive apparatus. For this purpose, are used periodic sources, interviews, biographies and documents of the National Service of Information (SNI).

A configuração do Sistema Nacional de Repressão no governo JK (1956 a 1961)

Oliveira, Nilo Dias de 22 May 2013 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-27T19:30:45Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Nilo Dias de Oliveira.pdf: 2492128 bytes, checksum: 2383b70447de656b28669fcc60bd69a5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-05-22 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / This thesis presents the structure of Brazil`s Intelligence Service, also known as the National Security System, which from the second half of the 1950s to the height of the Juscelino Kubitschek government (1956-1961) acquired the stature and complexity that enabled it to provide surveillance and control of the entirety of Brazilian society. Interconnection of the principal agencies acting as police security systems, namely the National Security Council (CSN), the Social Policy Division of Police (DPS), the National Security sections existing in all Civil Ministries of the Republic, as well as Information Services of Police of Political and Social Order (DOPS) and the Secretaries of State Security comprised for the first time in Brazil a complex system integrated both horizontally and vertically throughout the repressive apparatus of the state. Being structured as a "single central national information," its ramifications also extended internationally through connections with the Police security systems in several European countries, North America and Latin America. In developing this thesis we used documents from the National Security Council largely located in the National Archives of Brasilia, and CPDOC, the Getulio Vargas Foundation in Rio de Janeiro. Thus existing documents from the collections of the CPDOC depository of the personal archives of General Tavora and military officer and politician Congressman and Governor Ernani do Amaral Peixoto were necessary; documents from the Bureau of Political and Social Order of São Paulo SP-DOPS, located in the Public Archives of the State of São Paulo; and documents from the Division of Police and Social Policy DPS, the Public Archives of the State of Rio de Janeiro. According to guidelines for the fight against communism, promulgated under the aegis of the Cold War and espoused in Latin America by the United States, these actions allowed the more conservative and dominant segment to remain in permanent conflict with civil society concerning recommended alternatives for Brazil s economic development in order to consolidate its power. Even to the extent of coordination with the Armed Forces. Also participating at the time of these military clashes, with loud disapproval, proposing alternatives to national development and which were collected by storm for many of the purges engineered by security organs at the time, were those arbitrarily accused as communists or sympathizers. Coincidentally, it was the military that gave support to maintaining of democratic openness. On the other hand, the most diverse sectors of society eager for freedom on constitutional grounds began to express themselves through repeated discussions, demonstrations, strikes, etc., in work demands, political opinions or on public affairs in general as well as on international issues at that moment. However, beneath an apparent climate of democracy at the end of the 1950s there was a nearly total control thrived that could be mapped with increasing detail of the greater part of the demonstrations in Brazil. Thus it became necessary to integrate the Brazilian Armed Forces responsible for implementing the National Security Doctrine (DSN), with Civil and Military Police throughout the country. Directly subordinate to the National Security Council (NSC), such a system, which began at that time, could provide information to the central authorities of the Government about any individual or existing organization. It could even define who or what should be observed, or violently repressed, or restricted in their freedoms and public activities / A Tese que ora se apresenta demonstra como se estruturou o Serviço de Inteligência no Brasil, também denominado Sistema de Segurança Nacional, que adquiriu estatura e complexidade capaz de proporcionar a vigilância e o controle de toda a sociedade, a partir da segunda metade da década de 1950, em plena vigência do governo Juscelino Kubitschek (1956-1961). A articulação dos principais órgãos que atuaram como Polícias Políticas, ou seja, o Conselho de Segurança Nacional (CSN), a Divisão de Polícia Política Social (DPS), as seções de Segurança Nacional existentes em todos os Ministérios Civis da República, assim como os Serviços de Informações das Delegacias de Ordem Política e Social (DOPS s) e as Secretarias de Segurança estaduais compuseram, pela primeira vez no país, um sistema complexo que integrou horizontal e verticalmente todo o aparato repressivo do Estado. Ao se estruturar como uma central única de informações nacional , suas ramificações adquiriram também dimensão internacional, através das conexões com as Polícias Políticas de diversos países europeus, norte-americanos e latino-americanos. Para o desenvolvimento dessa Tese foram utilizados documentos oriundos do Conselho de Segurança Nacional localizados em grande parte no Arquivo Nacional de Brasília e no CPDOC da Fundação Getulio Vargas, Rio de Janeiro. Desse modo, foram compulsados os documentos existentes nos acervos do CPDOC, depositário dos arquivos pessoais do General Juarez Távora e do oficial militar e político deputado federal e governador Ernani do Amaral Peixoto; nos documentos da Delegacia de Ordem Política e Social de São Paulo DOPS-SP, localizados no Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo; e nos documentos da Divisão de Polícia Política e Social DPS, no Arquivo Público do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Segundo as diretrizes para o combate ao comunismo, promulgadas sob a égide da Guerra Fria e capitaneadas pelos Estados Unidos para toda a América Latina, essas ações permitiram que o segmento dominante mais conservador e em permanente embate com a sociedade civil sobre as alternativas indicadas ao desenvolvimento econômico do país pudesse consolidar seu poder. Inclusive, de forma articulada com as Forças Armadas. Também participavam na época desses embates militares que, da caserna, propunham alternativas para o desenvolvimento nacional e que foram colhidos de roldão por muitos dos expurgos engendrados pelos órgãos de Segurança da época, taxados de modo arbitrário como comunistas ou simpatizantes da ideologia. Coincidentemente, tratava-se dos militares que apoiavam a manutenção da abertura democrática. Por sua parte, os mais diversos setores da sociedade ansiosos pela liberdade através da abertura constitucional, passaram a expressar em reiterados debates, mobilizações, greves etc., suas demandas de trabalho, suas opiniões sobre a política ou sobre a coisa pública, em geral, bem como sobre questões internacionais daquele momento. No entanto, sob o clima de aparente democracia do final da década de 1950 vicejava um controle quase total que permitia mapear de forma cada vez mais detalhada a maioria das manifestações havidas em todo o Brasil. Para tanto, foi necessária a integração das Forças Armadas brasileiras, responsáveis pela aplicação da Doutrina de Segurança Nacional (DSN), com as Polícias Civis e Militares de todo o país. Diretamente subordinado ao Conselho de Segurança Nacional (CSN) tal sistema passou, a partir dessa época, a fornecer informações às instâncias centrais do Governo sobre qualquer pessoa ou organização existente. Definia ainda quem ou o que deveria ser vigiado, ou reprimido violentamente, ou cerceado em suas liberdades e atividades públicas

Segurança e defesa na América do Sul: as perspectivas de integração e cooperação de Brasil e Venezuela na primeira década do século XXI / Security and defense in South America: the prospects of integration and cooperation of Brazil and Venezuela in the first decade of XXI century

Rodrigo Souza Salgado 01 November 2012 (has links)
Este trabalho analisa as perspectivas de defesa e segurança de Brasil e Venezuela contextualizando com as dinâmicas políticas sul-americanas e mundiais tendo o objetivo de estabelecer as diretrizes básicas de cada estrutura assim como apontar para os pontos de convergência existentes entre ambos com o objetivo de compreender possibilidades futuras de ações coordenadas. Para tanto foi selecionado o período que vai de 1998 até 2010, para o caso venezuelano, e 2003 a 2010, para ocaso brasileiro. / This paper examines the prospects for defense and security issues of Brazil and Venezuela, contextualizing with the political dynamics of South America and worldwide with the goal of establishing the basic guidelines of each structure as well as targeting the points of convergence between both, in order to understand future possibilities of coordinated actions. Therefore we selected the period from 1998 to 2010 for the Venezuelan case, and from 2003 to 2010, going down to Brazil.

Segurança nacional japonesa: o desenvolvimento das forças de autodefesa japonesa e o impacto do discurso de segurança humana / Japanese national security: the development of Japanese self-defense forces and the impact of human security discourse

Dantas, Aline Chianca 04 April 2014 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T12:22:47Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 PDF - Aline Chianca Dantas.pdf: 2235681 bytes, checksum: f6908e90cba608d7851dafbc1d10f674 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-04-04 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This paper aims to discuss the impact of the discourse of human security on the performance of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and, consequently, on Japanese national security. In order to do this, the work is divided into four parts: exposure of the links between Japanese national security and SDF, presentation of the SDF s action, interaction of the SDF with the discourse of human security and the implications of human security discourse on Japanese national security, in terms of expanding the military character. The methodology adopted in this study is guided by a bibliographic research on the featured topics, emphasizing qualitative and quantitative aspects, whereas the theoretical approach is consistent with the time of each survey. The ideas used were the ones of Wendt s (1999), reflecting over the relationship between agent and structure, the constructive thoughts of Onuf (2002) and Zehfuss (2002), demonstrating the relevance of discourse and ultimately realistic assumptions connected with issues of power and interest. So, in the light of the exposed, it is argued that Japan is in a smooth process of militarization and normalization, within what is meant by pacific activism, having as one of its tools for this an instrument of soft power, that is the human security discourse. / Este trabalho objetiva debater o impacto do discurso de segurança humana sobre a atuação das Forças de Autodefesa Japonesas e, consequentemente, sobre a segurança nacional japonesa. Para isso, divide-se o trabalho em quatro partes: exposição dos laços entre a segurança nacional japonesa e as FAD, apresentação da atuação das FAD, interação das FAD com o discurso de segurança humana e as implicações do discurso de segurança humana sobre a segurança nacional japonesa, em termos de ampliação do caráter militar. A metodologia adotada nesse estudo pauta-se em pesquisas bibliográficas sobre os temas destacados, ressaltando-se aspectos qualitativos e quantitativos; já a abordagem teórica coaduna-se com cada momento da pesquisa, sendo utilizadas as ideias de Wendt (1999) da relação entre agente e estrutura, pensamentos construtivistas de Onuf (2002) e Zehfuss (2002), denotando-se a relevância do discurso e, finalmente, premissas realistas conectadas com questões de poder e interesse. Portanto, à luz do exposto, argumenta-se que o Japão encontra-se em processo de militarização e normalização suave, dentro do que se entende por ativismo pacífico, tendo como uma de suas ferramentas para isso um instrumento de soft power, que é o discurso de segurança humana.
