    Shaping Identity a Study of the Construction of National Identity in Two Royal Speeches by Jacob Berntson

    Lund University Centre for Languages and Literature ARAK01, Bachelor thesis Shaping Identity A study of the construction of national identity in two royal speeches By Jacob Berntson Supervisor: Maria Persson 1 Abstract This study examines the construction of national identity in two speeches, held respectively by King Abdullah II of Jordan and King Mohammed VI of Morocco, during the height of the Arab Spring in 2011. These speeches were a response to public uprisings and contained numerous reforms, which may have been instrumental for the continued rule of the Jordanian and Moroccan regimes. Using theories on national identity rooted in linguistics and sociology, this thesis investigates if and how national identity was emphasised and linguistically constructed in these two speeches. Given the political situation in the countries and the entire Middle East at the time, the kings should have been eager to unite their people around a common goal, an exercise in which a strong national identity might play a crucial part. This study is of interest due to the numerous similarities these speeches and speechmakers share, including the countries they rule, the outcome of their speeches and personal similarities between the kings themselves. Through the analysis of the speeches, it became evident that both kings emphasised and linguistically constructed a national identity for their respective countries. However, this was done employing different means and arguably to various extents. Keywords: National identity, King Abdullah II, King Mohammed VI, Jordan, Morocco, political speeches, construction of national identity 2 Table of Contents 1.

  • WINDFALL Population Was Forcibly Displaced

    WINDFALL Population Was Forcibly Displaced

    Energix’s Clean Wind Energy Project has brought back to the collective memory of the native Syrian community the tragedy of the displacement of the inhabitants of S’heita village and Israel’s practices of restriction, confiscation, intimidation, and manipulation there. The village of S’heita was uprooted by Israeli military order in early 1970 and its WINDFALL population was forcibly displaced. A large part of the land The Exploitation of Wind Energy targeted by the proposed wind energy project belongs to the people displaced from S’heita. The community rifts in the Occupied Syrian Golan caused by the plan have revived the tragedy of S’heita and the problems that accompanied its population’s displacement. These problems continue to this day and float to the surface of every debate on the issue. This report seeks to highlight the implications of Energix’s project and its impacts on the Syrian community. The report emphasizes how wind energy development in the Golan, especially through this new project, violates inherent human rights, international law, and the core principles of corporate social responsibility. Although the report focuses on one specific project, it identifies many of the common characteristics of settlement businesses in the Golan, which violate international law and harm the native community.

Degree awarded June 2013 ii © 2013 Margaret J. Abney iii THESIS ABSTRACT Margaret J. Abney Master of Arts Department of Political Science June 2013 Title: Avoiding the Arab Spring? The Politics of Legitimacy in King Mohammed VI’s Morocco During the 2011 Arab Spring protests, the Presidents of Egypt and Tunisia lost their seats as a result of popular protests. While protests occurred in Morocco during the same time, King Mohammed VI maintained his throne. I argue that the Moroccan king was able to maintain his power because of factors that he has because he is a king. These benefits, including dual religious and political legitimacy, additional control over the military, and a political situation that make King Mohammed the center of the Moroccan political sphere, are not available to the region’s presidents.

These crises are evident in the current state of the dominant parties in the Sudan, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Mauritania, Djibouti, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey. These parties suffer from a legacy of repeated failure in attaining domestic achievements, the escalation of conflicts involving party leadership, and the formation of fluid institutional party alliances. In addition, there is increasing intersection between executive functions and party roles, conflicts on the fringes of party coalitions, the absence of ideological harmony between these ruling coalitions, and the purging of the party structure from dissenting elements. Furthermore, there are doubts being cast on the legitimacy of their social representation, as well as the incompetence of party leadership in confronting major crises and their alliances with armed militias. Mainstream literature on ruling parties and coalitions in the region seeks to explain their failure to carry out their political functions to the detriment of internal stability through the following factors:The Legacy of the Past:1- Repeated failures to attain domestic achievements: These failures are epitomized by the experience of Egyptian political parties. The regime¶s parties have failed over six decades, beginning with the July 23rd Revolution of 1952 until the June 30th Revolution of 2013, to attain domestic success.
