  • Wishful Thinking Or Buying Time? the Logic of British Appeasement in the 1930S
    Wishful Thinking or Buying Time? Wishful Thinking or Norrin M. Ripsman and Buying Time? Jack S. Levy The Logic of British Appeasement in the 1930s The “lessons of the 1930s,” based on British and French appeasement of Germany, have pro- foundly inºuenced U.S. security policy for a half century. Presidents have invoked these lessons in decisions for war in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq in 1990–91 and 2003, and in presidential campaigns.1 Among policymakers and publics, and among many scholars as well, the futility of appeasement has ac- quired the status of a lawlike generalization.2 The implicit assumption is that the Western allies’ primary aim was to secure a lasting peace with Germany through concessions to resolve Adolf Hitler’s grievances. If that was the aim, the policy clearly failed. But, as we shall demonstrate, that was not appease- ment’s primary aim. Scholars need to rethink both the concept of appeasement and the goals of appeasement in the 1930s. The popular image of appeasement was fueled by the scholarship of tra- ditional historians, who condemned British and French appeasement of Germany as politically naïve and morally bankrupt. In their view, the policies Norrin M. Ripsman is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Concordia University.

  • Conservative Party Strategy, 1997-2001: Nation and National Identity
    Conservative Party Strategy, 1997-2001: Nation and National Identity A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy , Claire Elizabeth Harris Department of Politics, University of Sheffield September 2005 Acknowledgements There are so many people I'd like to thank for helping me through the roller-coaster experience of academic research and thesis submission. Firstly, without funding from the ESRC, this research would not have taken place. I'd like to say thank you to them for placing their faith in my research proposal. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Andrew Taylor. Without his good humour, sound advice and constant support and encouragement I would not have reached the point of completion. Having a supervisor who is always ready and willing to offer advice or just chat about the progression of the thesis is such a source of support. Thank you too, to Andrew Gamble, whose comments on the final draft proved invaluable. I'd also like to thank Pat Seyd, whose supervision in the first half of the research process ensured I continued to the second half, his advice, experience and support guided me through the challenges of research. I'd like to say thank you to all three of the above who made the change of supervisors as smooth as it could have been. I cannot easily put into words the huge effect Sarah Cooke had on my experience of academic research. From the beginnings of ESRC application to the final frantic submission process, Sarah was always there for me to pester for help and advice.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract As popular music eclipsed Hollywood as the most powerful mode of seduction of Western youth, rock-stars erupted through the counter-culture as potent political figures. Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.

  • Losing an Empire, Losing a Role?: the Commonwealth Vision, British Identity, and African Decolonization, 1959-1963
    LOSING AN EMPIRE, LOSING A ROLE?: THE COMMONWEALTH VISION, BRITISH IDENTITY, AND AFRICAN DECOLONIZATION, 1959-1963 By Emily Lowrance-Floyd Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey . Dr. Katherine Clark . Dr. Dorice Williams Elliott . Dr. Elizabeth MacGonagle . Dr. Leslie Tuttle Date Defended: April 6, 2012 ii The Dissertation Committee for Emily Lowrance-Floyd certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: LOSING AN EMPIRE, LOSING A ROLE?: THE COMMONWEALTH VISION, BRITISH IDENTITY, AND AFRICAN DECOLONIZATION, 1959-1963 . Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey Date approved: April 6, 2012 iii ABSTRACT Many observers of British national identity assume that decolonization presaged a crisis in the meaning of Britishness. The rise of the new imperial history, which contends Empire was central to Britishness, has only strengthened faith in this assumption, yet few historians have explored the actual connections between end of empire and British national identity. This project examines just this assumption by studying the final moments of decolonization in Africa between 1959 and 1963. Debates in the popular political culture and media demonstrate the extent to which British identity and meanings of Britishness on the world stage intertwined with the process of decolonization. A discursive tradition characterized as the “Whiggish vision,” in the words of historian Wm. Roger Louis, emerged most pronounced in this era. This vision, developed over the centuries of Britain imagining its Empire, posited that the British Empire was a benign, liberalizing force in the world and forecasted a teleology in which Empire would peacefully transform into a free, associative Commonwealth of Nations.

On the central issue, seven of the commission’s nine members came Sir Leigh Lewis, chairman of the Commission on a Bill of Rights, down in favour of a UK Bill of Rights. Such a bill would incorporate talked about the report at a Constitution Unit Seminar on and build on all of the UK’s obligations under the European 24 January – see website. Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and would provide no less protection than is contained in the current Human Rights Act and the devolution settlements. Some of the majority also believed EXECUTIVE that a UK Bill of Rights could define more clearly the scope of some rights, and adjust the balance between different rights. The most powerful arguments for a new constitutional instrument were the lack of ownership by the public of the existing Human Rights Act, and the opportunity which a UK Bill of Rights would offer to The Cabinet Office review of the Committee for Standards in provide greater protection against possible abuses of power.
