Daughton Professor John Connelly Professor Jonah Levy Spring 2011 The Daily Plebiscite: Political Culture and National Identity in Nice and Savoy, 1860–1880 Copyright 2011 Mark Alexander Sawchuk Abstract The Daily Plebiscite: Political Culture and National Identity in Nice and Savoy, 1860–1880 by Mark Alexander Sawchuk Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Carla Hesse, Chair Using the French philosopher Ernest Renan’s dictum that the “nation’s existence is ... a daily plebiscite” as an ironic point of departure, this dissertation examines the contours of oppositional political culture to the French annexation of the County of Nice and the Duchy of Savoy in 1860. Ceded by treaty to France by the northern Italian kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, these two mountainous border territories had long been culturally and geo-strategically in the French orbit. Unlike their counterparts in any other province of France, the inhabitants of the two territories were asked to approve or reject the annexation treaty, and thus their incorporation into France, in a plebiscite employing universal male suffrage.

  • Lone Wolf Terrorism and Open Source Jihad: an Explanation and Assessment
    1 LONE WOLF TERRORISM AND OPEN SOURCE JIHAD: AN EXPLANATION AND ASSESSMENT Claire Wiskind, (Research Assistant, ICT) Summer 2016 ABSTRACT Al Qaeda and Daesh publish English language magazines to appeal to Western supporters and encourage them to join their cause as a fighter or as a lone wolf terrorist. A key feature of Al Qaeda’s magazine, Inspire, is a section titled Open Source Jihad, which provides aspiring jihadists with step-by-step instructions to carry out lone terror attacks in the West. By examining ten attack types that have been published over the past six years, this paper explains Open Source Jihad, presents cases where these types of attacks have been carried out, and assesses the threat presented by the easy access to Open Source Jihad. * The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT). 2 Table of Contents INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................ 3 Lone Wolf Terrorism ......................................................................................... 3 English Language Literature: Dabiq and Inspire .............................................. 7 Open Source Jihad .......................................................................................... 9 OPEN SOURCE JIHAD ATTACK INSTRUCTIONS ..................................... 12 Attacks carried out ..........................................................................................
