The aim of this thesis is to explain the typology of civilian control in Taiwan during Chen Shui-bian era and to explain the correlation between that particular type of civilian control and the perception of China threat among civilian groups. The establishment of civilian control in most cases is seen as either a result or a consequence of democratization process or the transformation from authoritarian to democratic society. The assessment on the case of Taiwan is no different. In this logic of thinking, the establishment of a democratic or objective civilian control is considered as the main goal. An objective civilian control, according to Huntington, has several prerequisites such as military disengagement from politics, full military submission to civilian authority, and, most importantly, the establishment of professional military. Critics to Huntington ideals usually revolve around the necessity to have a clear disengagement of the military from politics. Drawing from Huntington and his critics, I propose three indicators to categorize civilian control into objective and subjective. Those are the military autonomy, which is a direct result of the existence of a clear set of boundaries between military and civilian areas or roles, the existence or inexistence of intra-civilian rivalry, and the existence or inexistence of interpenetration. Using those indicators, my assessment on Taiwan during Chen Shui-bian era finds out that the military autonomy did exist with the adoption of the twin defense laws, the existence of an acute intra-civilian rivalry, and the existence of civilian penetration into military area. This civilian penetration itself was a result of an overt-concentration of roles into civilian hands, which leaving the military in a very limited role and powerless position, and the intra-civilian rivalry which drove both Chen’s government and pan-blue opposition to use military issues as bargaining chip to strengthen their political position. In conclusion, instead of having an objective civilian control, Taiwan under Chen Shui-bian was suffering from a subjective civilian control. To answer the question of why such an opposite result appeared, from what is supposed to be the result of the democratization process, I argue that the divergent of perception on China threat among civilian is among the factors that explain such a contradiction. Most assessment on the issue of civilian control in Taiwan is focusing on the identity politics as the explaining factor. In this thesis, I argue that the identity politics is necessary but not sufficient to explain the contradictory result. The divergent perception on China threat among civilian serves as the foundation to explain the political behavior of political parties in Taiwan. Due to this differing perception, political parties could not find a congruent understanding of external threat that makes any defense related issue became a political issue. / The aim of this thesis is to explain the typology of civilian control in Taiwan during Chen Shui-bian era and to explain the correlation between that particular type of civilian control and the perception of China threat among civilian groups.

Tiwanaku in Moquegua: The Altiplano ColoniesInvestigations in Moquegua demonstrate two distinct waves of Middle Horizon colonization by altiplano settlers. Both Tiwanaku colonies allowed and ultimately replaced the Huaracane tradition, a substantial indigenous Formative occupation in the middle Moquegua valley. Tiwanaku site locations, settlement patterns, mortuary and domestic traditions, and skeletal biology differ significantly from those of Huaracane, indicating distinct origins and ethnicity. Within the Moquegua Tiwanaku colonies, settlements of two distinct groups are distinguished by assemblages of Omo style and the Chen Chen style ceramics. The Omo style Tiwanaku settlers arrived first, but distinct villages using each style coexisted throughout the valley for centuries. These appear to represent colonists from distinct ethnicities or moieties within the Tiwanaku culture. Tiwanaku colonists maintained their highland identities in all aspects of domestic, mortuary and ritual practices through ayllu level social organization. The more substantial Chen Chen style colony also introduced provincial political organization, demonstrated by new infrastructure for surplus maize cultivation and the construction of a Tiwanaku style temple structure at the Omo site. / Las investigaciones en Moquegua han demostrado la presencia de dos diferentes oleadas de colonización tiwanaku provenientes del altiplano durante el Horizonte Media. Ambas colonias tiwanaku siguieron y, por último, reemplazaron a la tradición Huaracane, una sustancial ocupación indígena del Periodo Formativo en el valle medio de Moquegua. Las ubicaciones de los sitios, patrones de asentamiento, tradiciones funerarias y domésticas, y biología ósea tiwanaku difieren significativamente de aquellos huaracane, indicando orígenes y etnicidad distintos. Dentro de las colonias tiwanaku en Moquegua se distinguían los asentamientos de dos grupos distintos sobre la base de la cerámica de los estilos Omo y Chen Chen. Los colonos tiwanaku del estilo Omo llegaron primero, pero diversas aldeas, usando cada estilo, coexistieron a través del valle por siglos. Esto parece representar a colonias provenientes de diversas etnias o parcialidades dentro de la cultura Tiwanaku. Los colonos tiwanaku mantuvieron sus identidades altiplánicas en todos los aspectos de sus prácticas domésticas, funerarias y rituales a través de un nivel de organización tipo ayllu. La colonia más sustancial, del estilo Chen Chen, también introdujo una organización política provincial, la cual se demuestra a través de una nueva infraestructura para el cultivo de excedentes de maíz y la construcción de un templo del estilo Tiwanaku en el sitio Omo.

Dans cette thèse, nous étudions quelques modèles de flux migratoire. Nous sommes intéressés par le pays d’origine du migrant ainsi que par son pays d’accueil. Plus précisément, nous étudions les modèles où la probabilité de migration desagents dépend de leur capital humain (essentiellement l’éducation). Il y a deux cas importants qu’il convient de distinguer : le cas où les individus migrent avec le capital humain hérité de leurs parents et le cas le plus difficile, à solutions multivoques, lorsque les individus migrent avec le capital humain qu’ils auront dans le futur.Dans le premier cas, nous retrouvons les résultats obtenus la littérature. De plus, nous étendons aux cas de populations non constantes et nous proposons d’autres modèles. Dans le second cas, où les individus peuvent migrer en fonction de leurcapital humain futur, nous proposons différents mécanismes de sélection où les convergences vers une unique valeur de capital humain sont démontrées à chaque fois. / In this thesis, we study some migration models from a mathematical point of view. We are interested by the country of origin of migrant as well as in his host country.More precisely, we study the models where the probability of migration of individuals depends on their human capital (essentially education). There are two important cases to be distinguished : the case where individuals migrate with thehuman capital inherited from their parents and the more difficult case -since it is generally a multivalued case- where the individuals migrate with the human capital they will obtain in the future.In the first case, we obtain some results similar to the ones found in literature. Moreover, we study the case of non constant populations and we propose other models. In the second case, where the individuals can migrate following the human capital they will have in the future, we obtain different selection mechanisms for which the human capital converges to a unique value at each time.

abstract: This project serves as a performance guide for Chen Yi’s work From Old Peking Folklore for violin and piano. The primary source material for the document is derived from six hours of interviews and musical coaching that the writer undertook in March 2020 with Chen Yi at her residence in Missouri. The work is heavily influenced by Chinese Opera, and a brief examination of the history of Chinese Opera is included to provide context to the performer. Elements of performance practice on traditional Chinese instruments and their influence on the work are also explored, with detailed explanations given for the realization of numerous indications in the score from the composer. Finally, a link to a lecture recital and performance of the work is provided by the writer. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2020
