The broader issue of operational military bases—in effect, the context of the modern sea-basing concept—is the subject of our lead article, “Thinking about Basing,” by Robert E. Harkavy of Pennsylvania State Univer- sity. Two more such images, portraying “consolidation” of stores between logisti- cal ships and their transfer ashore, illus- trate Dr. Harkavy’s text. https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/nwc-review/vol58/iss3/22 2 T:\Academic\NWC Review\NWC Review Summer 2005\NWCRSU05\NWC Review Summer 2005.vp Wednesday, June 01, 2005 3:58:08 PM Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen War College: Summer 2005 Full issue NAVAL WAR COLLEGE REVIEW Summer 2005 Volume 58, Number 3 NAVAL WAR COLLEGE PRESS 686 Cushing Road Newport, RI 02841-1207 Published by U.S. Naval War College Digital Commons, 2005 3 T:\Academic\NWC Review\NWC Review Summer 2005\NWCRSU05\NWC Review Summer 2005.vp Wednesday, June 01, 2005 3:58:14 PM Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Naval War College Review, Vol. 58 [2005], No. 3, Art. 22 The Naval War College Review was established in 1948 as a forum for discus- sion of public policy matters of interest to the maritime services.

Harkavy The United States has entered, and is already responding to, a new and highly uncertain era regarding the purposes, means, and possibilities of acquiring and maintaining bases for the support of operations abroad. History has much to say here, but the answers, choices, and trade-offs will depend most of all on scenarios—what the nation believes could happen. East Asia Taiwan Melos or Pylos? . 43 James R. Holmes and Toshi Yoshihara If taken to heart, lessons of the Peloponnesian War could help clarify thinking—and dispel dangerous illusions—in Taipei, Beijing, and Washington. The island of Melos learned the futility of unsupported resistance against overwhelming factors of force and geography; the Athenians and Spartans learned at Pylos expensive lessons about the difficulties of island campaigning and about the unpredictability of warfare as a policy. The Growing Prospects for Maritime Security Cooperation in Southeast Asia. 63 Lieutenant John F. Bradford, U.S. Navy Southeast Asia has responded to the maritime dangers that in the 1990s replaced Cold War rivalries, and the terrorist threat that has more recently stepped to the forefront, producing an unprecedented degree of “operationalized” interstate cooperation. Fundamental obstacles remain, but the underlying dynamics are promising. Technology and Naval Blockade Past Impact and Future Prospects . 87 Roger W. Barnett Major changes in the ability of states to prevent the movement of ships or goods over the sea lanes have profoundly affected the ways in which maritime blockades are conducted. These changes have rendered the traditional law of blockade largely obsolete. The objective of maritime blockade operations, however, has remained constant.

And Why Can’t We Agree on It? . 99 Patrick C. Bratton The scholarly controversy over coercion by states—military, diplomatic, and economic—does more than complicate academic arguments; it has consequences for policy. It might become a more effective instrument than it has so far proved if the theoretical community can reach consensus as to what it is, how it can be effectively applied, and what constitutes success.

  • Indo-Caribbean African-Isms
    Indo-Caribbean African-isms: Blackness in Guyana and South Africa By Andre Basheir A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Andre Basheir 2013 ii Indo-Caribbean African-ism: Blackness in Guyana and South Africa Master of Arts, 2013 Andre Basheir, Sociology and Equity Studies in Education, University of Toronto Abstract In an attempt to close the gaps between diaspora and regional studies an Afro-Asian comparative perspective on African and Indian identity will be explored in the countries of Guyana and South Africa. The overlying aim of the ethnographic research will be to see whether blackness can be used as a unifier to those belonging to enslaved and indentured diasporas. Comparisons will be made between the two race models of the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean worlds. A substantial portion will be set aside for a critique of the concept of Coolitude including commentary on V.S. Naipaul. Further, mixing, creolization, spirituality and the cultural politics of Black Consciousness, multiculturalism, and dreadlocks will be exemplified as AfroAsian encounters. iii Acknowledgements Firstly, I like to thank all the people in the areas I conducted my fieldwork (South Africa especially). I befriend many people who had enormous amounts of hospitality. Specifically, Mark, Bridgette and family as well as Omar, Pinky and Dr. Naidoo and family for letting me stay with them and truly going out of their way to help my research efforts. Many thanks goes to a large list of others that I interviewed.

For more information, please contact: Simel Esim Gender & Women Workers’ Specialist Tel: 961 - 1 - 752400 Fax: 961 - 1 - 752405 Email: [email protected] 4 Gender & Migration in Arab States : The Case of Domestic Workers Foreword Domestic workers, the majority of whom are women, constitute a large portion of today's migrant worker population. As part of the international trend of feminization of international labour, much of this work remains invisible in national statistics and national labour legislation. It is not certain whether the increasing participation of women in international migration provides them with a decent wage, good working conditions, social security coverage and labour protection. It is therefore important to provide more attention to the labour situation of the growing number of women migrant workers. To identify critical issues of concern to women migrant domestic workers and to determine the extent of their vulnerability, the ILO has been analyzing the situation in several regions. These studies reveal practices and patterns that are the key causes of the vulnerability of women domestic migrant workers and suggest effective alternative strategies. This publication presents an ILO regional review and four country studies from the Arab States: Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon and United Arab Emirates.

  • The Diaspora of “Liberated African Slaves”! in South Africa, Aden, India, East Africa, Mauritius, and the Seychelles
    The Diaspora of “Liberated African Slaves”! In South Africa, Aden, India, East Africa, Mauritius, and the Seychelles. By Julien DURUP a student of the Seychelles history Slavery had been a long tradition that dated back to Ancient Egypt and then moved to Europe via Greece. English slaves were sent to the Scandinavian countries and even to Arabic Spain. When William of Normandy arrived, almost 10 percent of the populations of England were slaves. In 1102 William stopped the sales of the exportation of slaves1 but he did not stop slavery, because he allowed domestic slaves to continue in the form of serfdom. In 1444, the Portuguese were the first to start public sale of African slaves in Lagos. Later in 1482 they opened the first permanent slave trading post in Elmina, Ghana. In 1518, African slaves were sent via Spain en route to the Spanish Colonies in South Africa. It became a productive European trade. In 1562, Britain re started this lucrative business, this time in African slaves trading, when John Hawkins2 sailed with three ships. In 1563, he brought the first human cargo from Africa to the Caribbean and sold it with a huge profit. In 1687, during the sugar trade, apart from Brazil, Hispaniola3 (Haiti) had the highest number of African slaves. Haiti then became France‟s richest colony; to control the slaves France introduced the “Code Noir“of Colbert4, there on 6th May 1687 “the most monstrous legal text that was produced in modern times”5. That Code which turned the African slaves into “objects” was modified in 1723 for the French territories in the Indian Ocean and the next year for Louisiana.

Virtually every part of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) now reports to different leaders, has had its mission and Chairman Xi Remakes the PLA Xi Remakes Chairman responsibilities changed, has lost or gained subordinate units, or has undergone a major internal reorganization. Drawing on papers presented at two conferences co-organized by the U.S. National Defense University, RAND, and Taiwan’s Council REFORMS MILITARY CHINESE ASSESSING of Advanced Policy Studies, this edited volume brings together some of the world’s best experts on the Chinese military to analyze the various dimensions of the reforms in detail and assess their implications for the PLA’s ability to conduct joint operations, for the Chinese Communist Party’s control of the army, and for civil-military integration. The contributors review the drivers and strategic context under- pinning the reform effort, explore the various dimensions of PLA efforts to build a force capable of conducting joint operations, con- sider the implications for the PLA services, and examine Xi Jinping’s role in driving the reforms through and using them to strengthen control over the military. The chapters chronicle successes and outstanding problems in the reform effort, and consider what the net effect will be as the PLA strives to become a “world- class” military by mid-century, if not much sooner.
