Fighting Wars to End Wars : A Critical Discourse Analysis of George H.W. Bush’s justification for U.S. InterventionBile Osman, Sacida January 2021 (has links)
Critical discourse analysis (CDA) is an interdisciplinary approach that studies the relationship between power, language, ideology, and social structures in the various forms of discourse. Fairclough’s three-dimensional model was employed as the foundation and van Dijk’s ideological square as an assist to deepen the analytical focus on the speeches held by George H. W Bush addressing Somalia and Kuwait. The size of conflict and period differ, this study sees the relevance of comparing the two speeches since they were given by the same person during his period as presidents of the United States and Commander in Chief. The results have shown how Bush uses language to lay arguments for U.S. military action in the out-group nations. By employing concepts such as national self-glorification, empathy, lexicalization, victimization, and polarization: He lay the grounds for the U.S. interventions through language. The results show that representing the United States in a positive light and the out-groups in a negative light e.g. as threat leads to the justification for U.S. intervention but also exposes the underlying power structures and inequality of power.

The George Bush Presidential Library Center at Texas A&M UniversityFrink, Julia Susan 2009 August 1900 (has links)
This was the first comprehensive doctoral dissertation on the George Bush
Presidential Library Center at Texas A&M University. The Bush Presidential Library
and Museum was the focal point. The purpose was to describe the global significance,
work and educational contributions of the Bush Presidential Library while exploring its
partnership with Texas A&M University. The primary data sources were: archival
records, museum exhibits, interviews and my field work experiences.
Beyond being a descriptive dissertation, this study offered unique hypotheses and
conclusions. It examined the higher educational aspects of the Bush Presidential Library
Center's operating context within Texas A&M University. These included the
educational value of George Bush's career, the Bush Presidential Library's contents, and
its benefits and technology use in educational programming. This study answered two
unique hypotheses: how President Bush's liberation of Kuwait increased the Middle
Eastern funding of presidential libraries and the Corps of Cadets' influence on President
Bush's selection of Texas A&M University.
George Bush's global presidency, distinguished international public service
career and his world-changing, historical presidential achievements gave the Bush
Presidential Library and Museum an extraordinary educational value. The data showed
the educational value of, benefits of and technology's role in educational programming
at the Bush Presidential Library and Museum. The global changes mirrored President
Bush's career and his effort to combat terrorism. China's emergence as a world power
was attributed to President Bush's career. The Bush Presidential Library and Museum is
the core asset of the center. The data showed President Bush's liberation of Kuwait directly influenced the funding of his presidential library and the subsequent ones. The
data showed the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets' influence on President Bush's
selection of Texas A&M University as the site for his presidential library. Texas A&M
University is the best place for the George Bush Presidential Library Center. A
university environment is the best place to host a presidential library.

The 1991 Madrid Peace Conference: U.S. Efforts Towards Lasting Peace in the Middle East Between Israel and its NeighborsRodriguez, Fernando 20 May 2011 (has links)
Over the years the Madrid Peace Conference has been relegated to paragraphs within history books and the importance of the conference seems to have been all but forgotten. While this may be due to the perceived failure of the talks to produce tangible peace negotiations, what one must take into consideration is the fact that neither the Oslo Accords nor the more recent “Road Map†to peace would have been possible if it were not for that first steps taken in Madrid. One must also not forget the diplomacy and countless man hours that were put forth with tireless effort to achieve the goal of a peace conference that would be attended by all desired participants. When studying the Madrid Conference, one must look not only at the conference itself and the rhetoric conveyed by the delegates but also at their personalities and relationships with each other.

In 1989 the United States choose, after years of conflict, to carry out a military intervention in Panama, to remove Manuel Noriega, convicted for drug dealing and for threatening the lives of the Americans living in Panama. The aim of this study is to examine whether George H. W Bush’s arguments for the military intervention comply with the principles of the just war. The method chosen for this study is a qualitative literature study, based primarily on secondary data. It is a case study with two complementing theories, the theory of the just war and the world system theory. The result showed that the American intervention both can be justified and unjustified following the principles of the Just War Theory. The World system Theory shows typical signs for a relationship between USA and Panama, built on economic, political and military control.

Presidential Communication to Children: An Analysis of Persuasive Strategies in Presidential SpeechesGrice, Patricia Joyce 01 August 2010 (has links)
This thesis explores the content of presidential communication to children, specifically the only three presidential speeches that have been designed for children. These three speeches are President Barack Obama's speech to children in 2009, George H.W. Bush's speech to children in 1991, and Ronald Reagan's speech to children in 1988. Through content analysis this thesis was designed to determine whether persuasive strategies were used in these messages to children, and if persuasive strategies were present, which ones were used. Through qualitative analysis conducting a focus group discussion with children exposed to one of the presidential speeches, this thesis also explored the speeches from children's perspectives. Political socialization theory is used as framework for developing the study, and three persuasive theories are used for analysis of the speeches.
The findings provide insight into presidential communication to children and implications of future research in this area. Findings suggest that persuasive strategies are present and a variety of techniques are utilized in the speeches. The purpose and common topics of these speeches are also explored. Focus group findings support that children can identify persuasive strategies present in the speeches and provide insight into the knowledge children retain from exposure to the communication.

Burden of the Cold War: The George H.W. Bush Administration and El SalvadorArandia, Sebastian Rene 2010 December 1900 (has links)
At the start of the George H.W. Bush administration, American involvement in El Salvador‘s civil war, one of the last Cold War battlegrounds, had disappeared from the foreign policy agenda. However, two events in November 1989 shattered the bipartisan consensus on US policy toward El Salvador: the failure of the FMLN‘s largest military offensive of the war and the murder of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper, and her daughter by the Salvadoran military, the FAES. Despite more than one billion dollars in US military assistance, the war had stalemated, promoting both sides to seek a negotiated political settlement mediated by the United Nations. The Jesuit murders demonstrated the failure of the policy of promoting respect for democracy and human rights and revived the debate in Congress over US aid to El Salvador.
This thesis argues that the Bush administration sought to remove the burden of El Salvador from its foreign policy agenda by actively pushing for the investigation and prosecution of the Jesuit case and fully supporting the UN-mediated peace process. Using recently declassified government documents from the George Bush Presidential Library, this thesis will examine how the Bush administration fundamentally changed US policy toward El Salvador. Administration officials carried out an unprecedented campaign to pressure the FAES to investigate the Jesuit murders and bring the killers to justice while simultaneously attempting to prevent Congress from cutting American military assistance. The Bush administration changed the objective of its El Salvador policy from military victory over the guerrillas to a negotiated political settlement. The US facilitated the peace process by pressuring the Salvadoran government and the FMLN to negotiate in good faith and accept compromises. When both sides signed a comprehensive peace agreement on January 16, 1992, the burden of El Salvador was lifted.
