171	The cultural paradigms of British imperialism in the militarisation of Scotland and North America, c.1745-1775 Martin, Nicola January 2018 (has links) This dissertation examines militarisation in Scotland and North America from the Jacobite Uprising of 1745-46 to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in 1775. Employing a biographical, case study approach, it investigates the cultural paradigms guiding the actions and understandings of British Army officers as they waged war, pacified hostile peoples, and attempted to assimilate 'other' population groups within the British Empire. In doing so, it demonstrates the impact of the Jacobite Uprising on British imperialism in North America and the role of militarisation in affecting the imperial attitudes of military officers during a transformative period of imperial expansion, areas underexplored in the current historiography. It argues that militarisation caused several paradigm shifts that fundamentally altered how officers viewed imperial populations and implemented empire in geographical fringes. Changes in attitude led to the development of a markedly different understanding of imperial loyalty and identity. Civilising savages became less important as officers moved away from the assimilation of 'other' populations towards their accommodation within the empire. Concurrently, the status of colonial settlers as Britons was contested due to their perceived disloyalty during and after the French and Indian War. 'Othering' colonial settlers, officers questioned the sustainability of an 'empire of negotiation' and began advocating for imperial reform, including closer regulation of the thirteen colonies. And, as the colonies appeared to edge closer to rebellion, those officers drew upon prior experiences in Scotland and North America to urge the military pacification of a hostile population group to ensure imperial security. Militarisation, therefore, provides important insights into how cultural imperialism was implemented in Scotland and how it was transferred and adapted to North America. Further, it demonstrates the longer-term interactions and understandings that influenced transformations in eighteenth-century imperial policy.
172	戰後中國憲政之路：以行憲前後的黨派協商為中心的探討(1946-1948) / The road of constitutional government in Postwar China:the cooperation of Kuomintang, Chinese Youth Party,and China Democratic Socialist Party(1946-1948) 邱炳翰, Qiu, Bing Han Unknown Date (has links) 本文以戰後中國憲政的發展為題，探討1946－1948年間，國民黨、民社黨、青年黨三黨合作對制憲國大的召開、政府改組、國代選舉、立委選舉等重要政治事件的影響，本文側重探究三黨合作行憲的運作實態，探討國家利益的「前台表演」與黨派利益的「後台運作」之間的複雜關係。首先，本文扼要回顧抗戰期間到戰後初期的中國政局，探討朝野黨派關係如何影響憲政運動的推動，瞭解其對戰後中國政治的影響。抗戰勝利後，國、共衝突再起，美國、「第三方面」人士相繼居中斡旋，未能促使國共合作，最後國民黨單方面宣布召開國大制憲，中共和民盟抵制之，而國民黨則成功拉攏民、青兩黨合作。此後，國民黨拋出政府改組的議題，繼續與民、青兩黨談判，本文將分析三黨對行憲的不同想像，此間，國民黨三中全會為何對政府改組有反彈聲浪。在政府改組完成後，民、青兩黨的內部糾紛為何再起，社會輿論的普遍觀感為何，國府在此時宣布「動員戡亂」，又為日後行憲帶來什麼影響。政府完成改組後，緊接著便是國代和立委選舉，本文將探討政府籌備選舉經過，國民黨如何建立其內部提名機制，剖析其中派系鬥爭、黨團競逐的內情。除此之外，三黨中央亦就選舉名額、地域分配作協商，以達到聯合提名，同額當選的結果，以維持三黨合作的政治格局，並略述在地方上的選舉經過。選舉結果出爐後，不符三黨協議，民、青兩黨以退出政府要挾，迫使國民黨設法遵守三黨協議，國民黨為避免造成一黨行憲的局面，運用黨紀強令當選黨員退讓，引發「黨紀」與「國法」之爭，最後國民黨中央幾經討論，由蔣中正祭出「以黨讓黨」的解決辦法，彌平選舉糾紛。為此，三黨又如何達成協議，繼續合作實施憲政。透過上述研究，本文將從五個角度分析：一、國際因素對中國政治的影響；二、「行憲」與「戡亂」的關係；三、「黨紀」與「國法」之爭的象徵意義；四、三黨合作的政治得失；五、戰後中國實施憲政的歷史意義。蔣中正三黨合作民主憲政動員戡亂黨紀國法以黨讓黨 Chiang Kai-shek the three-party cooperation constitutional democracy party discipline constitutional law political deal
173	"To read, write and cast accounts": Foucault, Governmentality, and Education in Upper Canada/Canada West McGarry, Michael Gerard 08 August 2013 (has links) Contributing to the work of philosophers of education who have been examining issues of economy and emancipation, this dissertation employs a set of critical lenses drawn from Foucault’s investigation of governmentality to trace correspondences between economic liberalism and public schooling in Upper Canada/Canada West, the historical antecedent of present day Ontario. The analysis adheres to Foucault’s advice that philosophical critique involves a question asked of the present but answered in history. Thus through a Foucauldian genealogy it is argued that a series of transformations in the deployment of governmental power occurred in Upper Canada/Canada West that entailed the entry of an economic rationality into deliberations over the creation of a school system. To support this argument evidence is presented that demonstrates how race, biopolitics, and the burgeoning science of political economy combined in the first half of the nineteenth century to form the conditions of possibility for governmental control of schooling. In particular, it is illustrated how these conditions favoured a pedagogy based in Locke’s epistemology, and were legitimized by the providential status accorded political economy. This pedagogy, which was promoted as mild and so conducive to student engagement, and the authority of political economy are revealed as integral to the methods of instruction and curriculum of the province’s common schools, and indicative of the legacy of economic liberalism that persists, albeit transformed, in Ontario education to this day. The result of this critical analysis is a redescription or, in Foucault’s terminology, a “countermemory” of Ontario educational history that challenges the presumed naturalism of the ideals characteristic of economic liberalism, such as autonomy, accountability, entrepreneurialism, and consumer choice. The dissertation contends that these ideals are active in local educational regimes long legitimized by economy, and dangerously aimed at fostering political consent by manipulating subjects into locations of restricted agency. Providing insight into the historical role played by liberal governmentality and economy in the local context contributes to the study of Foucault and the philosophy of education, and also suggests a change in approach to questions regarding the corporatization or marketization of education.

175	La participación española en el proceso de penetración occidental en China: 1840-1870 Martínez Robles, David 08 June 2007 (has links) Esta tesis se ha centrado en el desarrollo de las relaciones entre China y España en el contexto de penetración occidental en China desde la firma del Tratado de Nanjing (1842) hasta el final de la década de 1860. España fue un actor secundario en este proceso, pero sus relaciones con el imperio Chino muestran que algunas de las suposiciones de la historiografía más clásica sobre el mismo son demasiado limitadas y restringidas.A mediados de siglo XIX España era una nación en crisis y carecía de los recursos necesarios para tomar parte activa en las acciones occidentales en China. No obstante, su presencia en territorio chino le permitió implicarse de manera indirecta en acontecimientos capitales como las guerras del opio o la Rebelión de los Taiping, negociar en términos similares a los empleados por otros países como la Gran Bretaña o Francia por la obtención de un tratado; e incluso un agente español fue escogido por el Zongli yamen para actuar como representante del gobierno chino en un país europeo. / The main focus of this dissertation is the relationship between China and Spain in the context of the process of foreign penetration in China from the signature of the Treaty of Nanjing (1842) to the end of 1860s. Spain was a minor actor in this process, but her relations with the Chinese empire demonstrate that some of the classical historiographical approaches are too narrow and restricted. In the 19th century, Spain was a nation in crisis and it lacked the resources to take a leading role in the Western imperial actions in China. Nevertheless, the Spanish presence in China allowed that country to get indirectly involved in major events like the Opium Wars or the Taiping Rebellion; Spain also became embroiled in the negotiations for a treaty in the same terms than those used for imperial powers like Great Britain; and still a Spaniard was chosen by the Zongli yamen to act as a representative of the Chinese government in a European country. historiografía tratados desiguales Guerra del Opio Xu Jiyu Sinibaldo de Mas Manilamen Zongli yamen Rebelión Taiping Taiwan Macao Filipinas colonialismo imperialismo historiography relaciones sino-españolas unequal treaties Opium War Xu Jiyu Sinibaldo de Mas Manilamen Zongli yamen Taiping Rebellion Taiwan colonialism Macao Philippines imperialism Sino-Spanish relations 94
176	"To Hold the World in Contempt": The British Empire, War, and the Irish and Indian Nationalist Press, 1899-1914 Rosenkranz, Susan A. 26 April 2013 (has links) The era between the close of the nineteenth century and the onset of the First World War witnessed a marked increase in radical agitation among Indian and Irish nationalists. The most outspoken political leaders of the day founded a series of widely circulated newspapers in India and Ireland, placing these editors in the enviable position of both reporting and creating the news. Nationalist journalists were in the vanguard of those pressing vocally for an independent India and Ireland, and together constituted an increasingly problematic contingent for the British Empire. The advanced-nationalist press in Ireland and the nationalist press in India took the lead in facilitating the exchange of provocative ideas—raising awareness of perceived imperial injustices, offering strategic advice, and cementing international solidarity. Irish and Indian press coverage of Britain’s imperial wars constituted one of the premier weapons in the nationalists’ arsenal, permitting them to build support for their ideology and forward their agenda in a manner both rapid and definitive. Directing their readers’ attention to conflicts overseas proved instructive in how the Empire dealt with those who resisted its policies, and also showcased how it conducted its affairs with its allies. As such, critical press coverage of the Boxer Rebellion, Boer War, Russo-Japanese War, and World War I bred disaffection for the Empire, while attempts by the Empire to suppress the critiques further alienated the public. This dissertation offers the first comparative analysis of the major nationalist press organs in India and Ireland, using the prism of war to illustrate the increasingly persuasive role of the press in promoting resistance to the Empire. It focuses on how the leading Indian and Irish editors not only fostered a nationalist agenda within their own countries, but also worked in concert to construct a global anti-imperialist platform. By highlighting the anti-imperial rhetoric of the nationalist press in India and Ireland and illuminating their strategies for attaining self-government, this study deepens understanding of the seeds of nationalism, making a contribution to comparative imperial scholarship, and demonstrating the power of the media to alter imperial dynamics and effect political change.

177	Outside Looking In: Stand-Up Comedy, Rebellion, and Jewish Identity in Early Post-World War II America Taylor, John Matthew January 2010 (has links) Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Before the “sick” comedians arrived onto the comedy landscape political and culturally based humor was considered taboo, but the 1950s witnessed a dramatic transformation to the art of stand-up comedy. The young comedians, including Lenny Bruce and Mort Sahl, became critical of American Cold War policies and the McCarthyistic culture that loomed over the nation’s society. The new stand-up comics tapped into a growing subculture of beatniks and the younger generation at large that rebelled against the conservative ideals that dominated the early post-war decade by performing politically and socially laced commentary on stage in venues that these groups frequented. The two comedians that best represent this comedic era are Jewish comics Mort Sahl and Lenny Bruce. Their comedy was more politically oriented than the other “sick” comics, and they started an entertainment revolution with their new style. They became legendary by challenging the status quo during a historically conservative time, and inspired numerous comics to take the stage and question basic Cold War assumptions about race, gender, and communism.

180	Alternative Pathways to Peace and Development in Rural Chiapas, Mexico Hollinger, Keith H. 01 July 2011 (has links) The concept of peacebuilding holds enormous importance for international relations, particularly in regions facing impending violent conflict and those recovering from such conflict. However, in order for peacebuilding to be a viable alternative to traditional peace operations, scholars and practitioners need to have a shared understanding of what peacebuilding is and what goals it hopes to achieve, in addition to fluid strategies for implementation. This dissertation seeks to identify strategies for building sustainable peace through sustainable community development and democratization. Using a qualitative metasynthesis of five ethnographies conducted in Chiapas Mexico, this dissertation develops mid-range theories, or strategies, for building peace in Chiapas and in regions experiencing low-intensity conflict more generally. These strategies are based upon the development of Pluriethnic collective governance at the local level in regions that are experiencing low-intensity conflict related to indigenous communities. / Ph.
