  • Between the Eagle and the Dragon: America, China, and Middle State Strategies in East Asia
    Between the Eagle and the Dragon: America, China, and Middle State Strategies in East Asia G. JOHN IKENBERRY FOR MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY, THE UNITED STATES has played a leading role in shaping order in East Asia. This East Asian order has been organized around American military and economic dominance, anchored in the U.S. system of alliances with Japan, South Korea, and other partners across Asia. Over the decades, the United States found itself playing a hegemonic role in the region—providing security, underwriting stability, promoting open markets, and fostering alliance and political partnerships. It was an order organized around “hard” bilateral security ties and “soft” multilateral groupings. It was built around security, eco- nomic, and political bargains. The United States exported security and imported goods. Across the region, countries expanded trade, pursued democratic transitions, and maintained a more or less stable peace. Today, this regional order is giving way to something new. Within Asia, a regional power transition is taking place, driven by the rise of China. In earlier decades, China existed for the most part outside the “old order.” With rapid growth and transforming patterns of regional trade, China is now very much within it. The regional power transition can be seen as a double shift. The region is becoming increasingly interconnected through trade, investment, and multilateral agreements. And, under the shadow of the rise of Chinese economic and military capabilities, the region is taking G. JOHN IKENBERRY is the Albert G. Milbank Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University in the Department of Politics and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

  • On the Baltimore Eagle and Its Symbol
    On The Baltimore Eagle and Its Symbol In order to understand the story of The Baltimore Eagle and the symbol that represents it, we need to begin by understanding their inspiration. That inspiration is largely bound up in the histories of two men, both named Tom. Our first ‘Tom’ didn’t begin his life with that name; it was chosen for him because it was easy for his English-speaking friends to pronounce. Over the last half-century or more, Touko Laaksonen, known most commonly as Tom of Finland, has had a profound influence on LGBT iconography as a whole and has been universally recognized as the foundational figure behind many of the symbols commonly associated with leather culture throughout the world. Tom of Finland began drawing images of well-muscled men while a student in Helsinki in the late 1930’s. Sadly, few of Tom’s earliest works survive. In a Europe that was becoming increasingly puritanical and regimented with the rise of National Socialism and Soviet Communism, Tom (perhaps rightly) thought that his images might place him or his family under scrutiny, so he destroyed nearly all of them. During his service in the Finnish army during World War II, Tom became fascinated with military symbols, uniforms, and badges of rank. When Tom went back to his art after the war, he was attracted by the juxtaposition of rebellion and regulation, and he started combining hyper-masculine male depictions (similar to those being drawn at the time by American artist George Quaintance) with symbols of authority, discipline, and strength.

Pritchard This study examines the rhetoric of gay pride parades from their inception to their current incarnation though the examination of selected published photographs in The New York Times. The study analyzes six photographs from New York City’s gay pride celebrations, each corresponding with a significant event affecting the LGBTQIA rights movement. The study uses Entman’s (1993) four aspects of framing as its primary theory to analyze the selected images from LGBTQIA pride parades/festivals and combines Judith Butler’s theory of performativity, Gregory Herek’s theory of heterosexual masculinity and hegemony to supplement the theory and further examine the many factors comprising gay pride celebrations.

  • PROGRAMMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT for the EAGLE RULE REVISION
    FINAL PROGRAMMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT for the EAGLE RULE REVISION U.S. Department of Interior (DOI), Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) Public Comment Periods: June 23, 2014–September 22, 2014; May 4, 2016–July 5, 2016 Designation: Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement Preferred Alternative: Alternative 5: Flyway EMUs, Conservative Take Abstract: This Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) analyzes the potential impacts to the human environment that may result from implementation of proposed revisions by the Service to several eagle permit regulations that authorize take of bald and golden eagles (“eagles”) and eagle nests pursuant to the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act; 16 USC 668–668d). The preferred alternative would: (1) establish limits on the amount of eagle take that the Service could authorize under permits to levels that were analyzed and shown to be compatible with maintaining stable or increasing eagle populations with risk managed in favor of being protective of eagle populations; (2) set the four migratory bird flyways (Atlantic, Mississippi, Central, and Pacific) as discrete eagle management units (EMUs) within which the numerical take limits and the objective of population stability would apply; (3) establish a standard process for evaluating the impacts of take at the finer scale of local eagle populations with the objective of ensuring authorized take does not place the persistence of these populations at risk of extirpation; (4) require that any take of eagles be minimized to the maximum degree practicable; (5) establish a maximum duration for permits of 30 years, but with permit-take limits set, evaluated, and updated in five-year increments; and (6) set standards and objectives for compensatory mitigation that will be required when authorized take exceeds the EMU and, potentially, local eagle population take limits.
