This paper discuses the British Labour government's social, economic and military policies in Iraq between 1945 and 1948. The ability of the Iraqi monarchy to adapt to the British policies after World War II is discussed. The British were trying to put more social justice into the Iraqi regime in order to keep British influence and to increase the Iraqi regime's stability against the Arab nationalist movement.

Magister Commercii - MCom / The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 marked the first step towards the partition of Africa. After this date, Europeans began to colonize the continent. Colonialism was an economic enterprise which was meant to boost the economy of the colonizers. Both South Africa and Southern Rhodesia (today known as Zimbabwe) were colonised by the British. This study examines the legacy of colonialism in these two countries. It looks at the impact of colonialism on how liberation movements such as the African National Congress (ANC) and the Zimbabwean African National Union- Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) have led their respective countries since independence. The specific purpose of this comparative study is to examine the causal factors that have contributed to the failures of African liberation movements in terms leadership and governance since independence.

Thesis advisor: Ali Kadivar / Determining the empirical causes of recruitment to nationalist militant organizations is a pertinent topic, given the global rise in neo-nationalist attitudes. In this article, I seek to explore one prospective cause through a case study of the Kurds in Iran. The Kurdish population within Iran has witnessed rising levels of insurgency into militant nationalist organizations. These organizations routinely conduct armed operations against Iranian forces in historically Kurdish regions within Iran, with the goal of reclaiming territory and halting perceived inequitable treatment of the Kurdish minority by the Iranian government. My research intends to explore the root causes of this rise in violence and whether historical political mobilization within Kurdish-dominated regions of Iran has resulted in the increased Kurdish insurgency efforts. I employ an original database and three models to test the relationship between an area's mobilization history and its subsequent insurgency recruitment levels. Ultimately, my results point to contextual variables as the driving factor behind insurgency recruitment compared to the aforementioned historical variables. My research provides a foundation for future exploration into the historical causes of Kurdish insurgency in Iran. A more sophisticated approach to data collection may generate a wider pool of data from which further analysis may be conducted. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2021. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Thesis advisor: Paul Christensen / Contemporary public perceptions of nationalism see the concept as a toxic ideology of isolationist politicians. In contrast, through an analysis of work produced by public servants whose identities are tied more closely with those of artists than politicians, this thesis shifts focus to nationalist sentiments built around inclusivity. Using poems of Ilia Chavchavadze and Thomas Davis, this text serves as a comparative overview of nation-building strategies within Georgia and Ireland. The importance of land, myths, heroic characters, motherly figures, and calls to self-sacrifice are present in poems of both nations, uniting them in the struggle against colonial oppression and offering a common formula for creating a national identity. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2019-05. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Secessionist movements have been found historically on both sides of the political spectrum, and sometimes have tried to remain apolitical completely, but because of the rise of partisan politics, secessionism has inevitably become politicized. Variations in Western European secessionism can be noticed, and as such, explanations put forward may be deemed insufficient, or incomplete. In my thesis I tested the hypothesis that secessionism varied on the political spectrum because it has been consolidated against ideological Others (in Scotland against Thatcher’s Conservatives between 1974 and 1990). I tested this methodologically through process tracing and theoretically by looking at the consolidation of the Scottish National Party through reactive nationalism. Specifically I analyzed the nationalist discourse used to justify ideological positioning in the 1970s and 1980s in propaganda materials and archival documents, and if and how this ideological choice was reflected or interpreted in newspapers (for opinions on how this consolidation was perceived by the electorate).

民國以來，中國工業一直有穩定的成長，回顧有關工業史的研究，偏向調查報告、統計及現象的分析說明，近年海峽兩岸對工業的研究則多是有關區域的或個別的企業。因此，專門探討工業政策之形成、制定、執行及其成效的研究比較欠缺，難與工業史或經濟史的研成果相比。筆者擬以北伐完成迄抗戰爆發前國民政府的工業政策作整體細部性的分析。本論文主體有五章，除了緒論和結論外，第一章論述國民政府成立前工業發展的特質，及中國工業化的障礙，藉以說明國民政府制定工業政策的背景。第二章首先說明國民政府中負責工業發展之主要機關及其組織和職掌，再析述國民政府工業政策之形成、制定。第三章就稅制及融資、國際貿易、交通運輸建設、人力資源問題、政府行政效率等五項直接影響工業消長的重要因素，評估國民政府工業政策執行上的一些問題。第四章敘述國營工廠籌辦經過，以瞭解政府所遭遇的困難。第五章就戰前工業發展狀況、工業動員準備來檢視工業政策的成效。民間輕工業既已迅速發展，政府依法保護獎勵與管理監督，在國家經濟資源有限的情況下，1935年以後始集中力量發展重工業。戰前十年不是「輝煌的十年」，中國從事經濟建設所遭遇的挫折，除了長久以來的政治動亂和天災外，還有東北淪陷、世界經濟危機的沉重打擊，顯示出在工業成長率與北洋政府時期略同的表面下，另有意義，國民政府的保護、獎勵、標準化政策及工業化相關條件縱有其局限性或嚴重缺失，對改善工業發展環境和促進私營工業，仍發揮一定程度的效用；但就改善中國工業體質而言，國民政府是失敗的，也沒有機會盡心盡力。在重工業發展上，國民政府因為政治因素而分散力量，又為經濟考量而延誤時機，成就無多。依據戰前十年經驗，如欲強化中國工業體質，首要之務是幫助工業界籌得充足的資本，並設法掃除國人的投機心理。
