In this article, we will examine the Polish, Czechoslovakian, Hungarian, Romanian, Turkish, Iranian, Chinese, Mongolian and Japanese borders in order to catalog the ingredients that went into Stalinist border resolution, East and West.

  • Pan-Turkism and Geopolitics of China
    PAN-TURKISM AND GEOPOLITICS OF CHINA David Babayan* Introduction People’s Republic of China (PRC) is currently one of the most powerful and dy- namically developing countries of the world. The economic development of the country is particularly impressive, as explicitly reflected in key economic indices, such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP). For instance, China’s GDP in 2007 was $3.43 trillion1, and in 2010 it already amounted to $6 trillion2. The foreign trade volume of the country also grows at astronomical rates. In 1982 it was $38.6 bil- lion3, in 2002 – $620.8 billion, and in 2010 totaled to almost $3 trillion4. According to Sha Zukang, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, China’s economic development is a sustained fast growth rare in modern world history5. Some experts even believe that while the first thirty years of China’s eco- nomic reforms program was about joining the world, the story of the next thirty years will be about how China reaches out and shapes the world6. Chinese analysts calculate the standing of nations by measuring “comprehensive national strength” of these nations7. This method relies on measuring four subsystems of a country’s national power: (1) material or hard power (natural resources, economy, science * Ph.D., History. 1 “China’s GDP grows 11.4 percent in 2007,” Xinhua, http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-01/24/ content_7485388.htm, January 24, 2008. 2 Chen Yongrong, “China's economy expands faster in 2010, tightening fears grow”, Xinhua, http:// news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/china/2011-01/20/c_13699250.htm, January 20, 2011.

  • The East Turkistan Islamic Party (E.T.I.P.) University Honors Capstone, Spring 2014
    The East Turkistan Islamic Party (E.T.I.P.) University Honors Capstone, Spring 2014 Author: Kathryn Appelman Advisor: Tricia Bacon, JLC This study investigates the motives, history, leadership, impact, and future of the East Turkistan Islamic Party (E.T.I.P.), a little-studied ethno-nationalist separatist terrorist organization in China’s Xinjiang province. Basing findings on existing literature, original Chinese news reports and press releases, and firsthand interviews with experts, it concludes that while E.T.I.P.-proper does not pose a significant threat to U.S. national security, issues surrounding it present significant foreign policy problems vis à vis China and the human rights community. However, ETIP members in Pakistan are likely cooperating with known enemies of the United States, and the United States should continue its CT efforts against them without infringing on China’s sovereignty. The East Turkistan Islamic Party (E.T.I.P.) I. Overview and Literature Review ETIP, or the East Turkistan Islamic Party, is a religious ethno-nationalist terrorist organization, made up of Uighur separatists who aim to establish a fundamentalist Islamic state in the West Chinese province of Xinjiang. In the United States, it is known largely for its connection to Al Qaeda, its threats against the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and its members detained in Guantanamo Bay. However, in China, ETIP is considered a serious threat to the internal security of the country. The study of active terrorist groups will always be a murky subject, but ETIP takes “murky” to a new level. Members of ETIP are Uighur Muslims; however, much further information, such as education level, structure, or community support, even the size of the organization, is tightly guarded by the PRC.

  • New Reality and Nagorno-Karabakh: the Cemre That Fell to Nagorno-Karabakh
    Tarih İncelemeleri Dergisi XXXVI / 1, 2021, 209-251 DOI: 10.18513/egetid.974614 THE WAR BETWEEN PERIOD AND EXCLAMATION MARK: NEW REALITY AND NAGORNO-KARABAKH: THE CEMRE THAT FELL TO NAGORNO-KARABAKH * ** Vefa KURBAN - Oğuzhan ERGÜN Abstract Having always been competition fields thanks to their geopolitical impact potential, the Caucasus and Turkestan have been among the Strategic Focus Centres of Russia since the Tsarist times. While Russia, whose strategic culture has produced expansionist policies for centuries, constantly expanded its political borders, it clashed with the Ottoman Empire and Iran in the Caucasus field of competition. From the second half of the 19th century, the Kazakh regions and independent Turkic states (Khiva, Kokand and Bukhara) were occupied by the Tsarist Russia. The Imperial Age was also a period in which Russia expanded its sphere of influence over the Ottoman Empire through its patronage policies. Having embraced “New Reality” in the regional power projection in the near past, Turkey stayed away from the region for a long time. In addition to some ethnic and cultural problems paused by the Cold War, problems in the partition of the territory came to light again following the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Caucasus geography, from south to north, went back into the period when various national issues were at the forefront and conflicts were experienced. The occupation Armenia carried out with the sponsorship and de facto military support of Russia violated the sovereignty rights of Azerbaijan, caused great social and economic harm, deteriorated the geopolitical impact potential of Azerbaijan and Turkey, and annihilated the possibility of direct connection between Turkey and Turkestan.

    Separatist Movements Should Nations Have 2 a Right to Self-Determination? Brian Beary ngry protesters hurling rocks at security forces; hotels, shops and restaurants torched; a city choked by teargas. AThe violent images that began flashing around the world on March 14 could have been from any number of tense places from Africa to the Balkans. But the scene took place high in the Himalayas, in the ancient Tibetan capital of Lhasa. Known for its red-robed Buddhist monks, the legendary city was the latest flashpoint in Tibetan separatists’ ongoing frustra- tion over China’s continuing occupation of their homeland.1 Weeks earlier, thousands of miles away in Belgrade, Serbia, hun- dreds of thousands of Serbs took to the streets to vent fury over Kosovo’s secession on Feb. 17, 2008.

There was widespread rage over delayed response from the government of Pakistan when Hunza valley was threatened by glacial outbursts and flood last month. People were displaced in large numbers and this posed a huge challenge to the state apparatus which has not proved efficient on earlier emergency situations such as this. PoK is vulnerable to natural calamities as it lies in an extremely sensitive seismic zone and the construction of dams and other infrastructure have proved rather adverse to the environmental balance in the region.

  • NEIGHBORS and RIVALS: China in Turkey's Educational System
    NEIGHBORS AND RIVALS China in Turkey’s Educational System Eldad J. Pardo and Mehmet Ekinci February 2017 IMPACT-se Suite 15, Belgium House, Givat Ram Campus, Hebrew University of Jerusalem Office/Fax: +972-2-5332497 Website: www.impact-se.org The Root of Anti-Chinese Protests in Turkey: Strategic Insights from Education By Eldad J. Pardo and Mehmet Ekinci1 The attempted July 15 coup d'état in Turkey occurred on the heels of numerous core issues relating to the political culture in this important country. For the purpose of this report, we will examine a less-known incident, while briefly examining the connection to current Turkish education. Just a year before the coup, during the summer of 2015, rampant anti-Chinese protests took place in Turkey with Turkish demonstrators burning Chinese flags and attacking Chinese tourists and restaurants while China warned its citizens traveling in Turkey to take precautions.2 Several demonstrations were held across Turkey to protest alleged Chinese maltreatment of ethnic Uyghurs during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The protests gathered momentum following alleged reports that China had imposed strict bans on the Uyghur Muslim minority in China's large northwestern region of Xinjiang also known as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Uyghurs are Muslims who speak a Turkic language.3 It was reported that they had been banned from worship and fasting during Ramadan. Turkish news outlets also reported that Chinese police killed eighteen "Uyghur Turks."4 The Chinese government has said that it fully respects the freedom of Muslim religious beliefs and that the alleged accusations were both completely at odds with the facts and exaggerated by the Turkish media.5 Anti-Chinese demonstrations started in the beginning of July 2015, when Turkish citizens, brandishing sticks and throwing stones, attacked a Chinese restaurant in the city center of Istanbul.

  • MUN BRIEFING PAPER Not The
    MUN BRIEFING PAPER Not the UN?: Who represents the world's 'stateless' nations? Hello, we are Anna and Ellen, your Secretaries General at GWC MUN 2011. We have been doing MUN together for many years and so look forward to chairing the General Assembly debate at our last ever conference. The GA debate this year will be on the topic of "Not the UN? Who represents the world's 'stateless' nations?" The United Nations was established in order to give the whole world a voice. Since 1945 it has striven to represent and protect the rights of people in all nations. However, many ethnic groups are arguably under- represented and so the UN may be falling short of its aims. Some peoples do not see themselves as citizens of the nations to which they supposedly belong, whilst others are simply forgotten. This is an issue that can be applied anywhere in the world, and is undermining the United Nations' credibility. The question we ask is whether the UN is complying fully with its original intentions or is falling short of its democratic principles. A UN body, the UN permanent forum of indigenous issues does exist. However many choose to be represented by the UNPO (Unrepresented Nations and People organisation) which is, rather confusingly not affiliated with the UN: Abkhazia, Aboriginals of Australia, Afrikaner, Ahwazi, Assyria, Balochistan, Batwa, Burma, Buryatia, Cabinda, Chin, Chittagong Hill Tracts, Circassia, Cordillera, Crimean Tatars, Degar-Montagnards, East Turkestan, Gilgit Baltistan, Greek Minority in Albania, Hmong, Hungarian Minority in
