Status Disputes and Defiance in Postcolonial Relations: : How Can We understand France’s Increasingly Contested Status in Francophone West Africa?Gloger, Janusz January 2022 (has links)
France is currently being faced with an increasing fury and insurrection in its former African colonies. This took many commentators by surprise. Afterall, French influence has been waning for at least two decades in the face of an increasing array of “new” players entering – what used to be considered – France’s “backyard”. Furthermore, French leaders have long expressed remorse and condemned France’s shady activities of the past. This is particularly the case for Macron who, in the name of being part of an entirely “new generation” of leaders, presents himself as an ally of African progress. How then, can we possibly understand the “anti-French sentiment” that has shaken-up the continent in recent years? This paper seeks to contribute to a better understanding of France’s contested status by providing a regional case study of francophone West-Africa. Drawing on Holsti’s role theory approach and Bull’s “Great Power” and “Recognition” concepts, this study analyzes the perception of French and West-African officials to investigate how and to what extent France is being challenged by decision-makers. It finds that albeit defiance towards France appears to be less prevalent among West-African decision-makers than the general-public, it is a phenomenon of regional scale that displays a high degree of convergence and has practical ramifications on Franco-African relations. It concludes that France’s historically based claims to a privileged relation with its former colonies is increasingly being challenged by West-African decision-makers due to its difficulty to justify itself in an increasingly multipolar world.

The Future of the Tea Party: A Comparison of the Progressive (Bull Moose) Party and the Tea Party MovementBailey, Kendall Lyons 04 September 2012 (has links)
The Tea Party Movement (TPM) has emerged as an important player in United States politics by promoting fiscal conservatism, limited government, free market economics, and Constitutionalism. Candidates championing these TPM values have had some successful campaigns, particularly in the 2010 congressional primary and general elections. In doing so, TPM candidates focused their attacks on President Obama and his supporters in Congress, drawing attention to the increase in government spending and the growing budget deficit. The niche focus of the TPM combined with the strength of the U.S. two-party system and voters' partisan loyalties may limit the long-term effectiveness of the group. An analysis of campaign rhetoric from a sample of successful TPM House candidates highlights similarities in language used by the sampled TPM candidates in conveying TPM values. The discussion of similar economic and political climates of the Progressive (Bull Moose) Party and the Tea Party Movement eras provides for a historical comparison from which to predict the future of the TPM. In sum, this thesis suggests that the Tea Party Movement will likely expire with an improved economy and the conclusion of Barack Obama's presidency. / Master of Arts

The motif of a bull in the ancient near East : an iconographic studyVan Dijk, Renate Marian 02 1900 (has links)
The bull was a potent symbol of power, strength, and, to a lesser degree, fertility to the peoples
of the ancient Near East from the twelfth century until 330 BCE. This symbolism was
manifested in several iconographic motifs. These motifs reveal the bull as a manifestation of
divine characteristics and as an expression of the power of man, and particularly the authority of
the king. The use of these iconographic motifs was not consistent across the entire area of the
ancient Near East; some differed in appearance and use in the different areas of the region, and
many changed over time even in the same area. In all areas and during all periods the basic core
symbolism stayed the same, and the bull was always held in a special respect. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / M.A. (Ancient Near Eastern Studies)

[en] THE CONTRIBUTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENGLISH SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS / [pt] A CONTRIBUIÇÃO E O DESENVOLVIMENTO DA ESCOLA INGLESA DE RELAÇÕES INTERNACIONAISEMERSON MAIONE DE SOUZA 10 December 2003 (has links)
[pt] O objetivo da dissertação é avaliar a contribuição e o
desenvolvimento da Escola Inglesa de Relações
Internacionais. Para tanto, opta-se pela análise histórica,
priorizando-se uma abordagem cronológica. Nesse sentido,
analisa-se, inicialmente, a contribuição de dois de seus
principais teóricos: Martin Wight e Hedley Bull, que
estabeleceram os eixos teóricos e conceituais constitutivos
da Escola. Na segunda parte, considera-se o debate sobre a
identidade e a validade da contribuição da Escola nos anos
1980. Na última parte, apresenta-se uma avaliação da Escola
Inglesa nos anos 1990. Introduz-se, então, a bifurcação
entre uma vertente crítica e outra clássica e a inovação
trazida por uma nova geração de teóricos. Por fim, procura-
se apresentar, de forma crítica, o debate travado dentro da
Escola sobre o conflito do Kosovo. / [en] The aim of this dissertation is to evaluate the
contribution and the development of the English School of
International Relations. In order to achieve this, the
analytical axis will be historic, emphasising a
chronological approach. In this sense, it was accessed the
contribution of two of its leading theorists: Martin
Wight and Hedley Bull, that together established the mains
theoretical and conceptual axis constitutive of the school.
In the second part, the debate about the identity and the
validity of the contribution of the school in the 1980s was
analysed. In the last part, it is offered an evaluation of
the English School in the 1990s. Its bifurcation into two
approaches, a critical and a classical one; and the
theoretical innovation brought by a new generation of
theorists, will be introduced. Latter on, it will be
offered an critical analysis of the debate that took
place in the English School after the conflict at Kosovo.

Examining brook trout invasion into bull trout streams of the Canadian RockiesWarnock, Will G January 2012 (has links)
Brook trout invasion into bull trout streams is variable, and likely influenced by a suite of
biotic and abiotic factors. Field observations revealed that brook trout dominated the fish
community over bull trout in warmer sites that had undercut banks; in contrast, bull trout
dominated in colder sites that had a high amount of large substrate cover, and where
alternate non-native species were present. Laboratory studies of competition between the
two species revealed that bull trout use a scramble foraging tactic, whereas brook trout
use a territorial tactic. Bull trout outcompeted brook trout when fish density was low and
habitat complexity was high, as this scenario reduced the effectiveness of the aggressive
territorial foraging strategy of brook trout. Bull trout from a migratory population
competed more successfully against brook trout and had higher rates of oxygen
consumption than those from a resident population. This combined field-lab study points
to some of the abiotic and biotic factors that affect competition between the two species,
and may influence the outcome of brook trout invasion into bull trout streams. / xiv, 184 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm
