    CAIMUN 2021 DISARMAMENT AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY COMMITTEE Background Guide A CANADA INTERNATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS Tenth Annual Session | May 28-30, 2021 Dear Delegates, Othman Mekhlouf My name is Lincoln Lee, and I am excited to welcome you to the Disarmament and Secretary-General International Security Committee at CAIMUN 2021 alongside your chairs Nick Liu and Jan Peng. This year, we will discuss two widely relevant issues: Interventions in Foreign Warfare and Threats to Global Energy Security. As stakeholders in each topic, I encourage you to research the topic thoroughly and represent your countries Angel Yuan accurately so as to build a high quality of debate. Director-General Even after four years of Model UN, I still remember my frst conference where Nikki Wu every one of my speeches was accompanied by a trembling voice. I barely kept my Chief of Staff composure in front of what looked like a room full of prying eyes and struggled to stay relevant in the fast-paced debate. After several conferences, however, I found the true value of Model UN. Through this activity, I learned to overcome my fears, fnd a passion for politics, and most importantly, met new people who are now my Matthew Leung Director of Logistics mentors and best friends. To delegates feeling nervous about speaking out in front of a large crowd, I encourage you to make an active effort to come up to the podium as much as possible. MUN has been, without exaggeration, life-changing for me, and I Madeline Kim hope you’ll fnd the same benefts I have.

Examining Committee: Steve H. Lee, History Supervisor Donald L. Baker, Asian Studies Supervisory Committee Member William French, History Supervisory Committee Member Max Cameron, Political Science University Examiner Glen Peterson, History University Examiner Andre Schmid, East Asian Studies, University of Toronto External Examiner iii Abstract In the 1960s the North Korean leadership embraced the variety of radical Third Worldism associated with Cuba’s Tricontinental Conference of 1966, which advocated a militant, united front strategy to defeat US imperialism via armed struggle across the Global South. This political realignment led to exceptionally intimate political, economic, and cultural cooperation with Cuba and a programme to support armed revolutionary movements throughout Latin America. In the process, North Korea acquired a new degree of prestige with the international left, influencing Cuban and Latin American left-wing discourse on matters of economic development, revolutionary organization and strategy, democracy and leadership.

  • El Experimento Dominicano
    El experimento dominicano Propósitos La República Dominicana ha ocasionado en los últimos años una copiosa bibliografía — especialmente en los Estados Unidos— por buenos motivos. Pese a la pequeñez y pobreza del país, su proceso histórico contiene rasgos singulares. Entre ellos, haber sido, alternativamente y en forma reiterada a veces, colonia española, colonia francesa, país independiente, protectorado colombiano y territorio de ocupación militar norteamericana; haber sufrido, además, el ensayo de sangrienta autocracia y modernización forzada representado por la dictadura treintenaria de Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina; incluir el más reciente ejemplo de intervención militar abierta de los Estados Unidos en la América Latina; poseer, hoy, el curioso funcionamiento de una sociedad partidaria rabiosa de la libre empresa en un país donde el 67% de la producción y los servicios están nacionalizados. Por su índole, este breve trabajo no pretende desarrollar esos temas, sino contribuir, con el testimonio de algunos hechos verificados por el autor, a documentar una situación que otros más autorizados podrán analizar en profundidad: la elección de este infortunado país antillano, por la política exterior de los Estados Unidos, para establecer un experimento de destrucción nacional y contralor económico que representa el modelo político y de desarrollo propuesto finalmente a la América Latina por el neocolonialismo de Washington; los aspectos dominicanos de la represión, la corrupción del sistema político y el avasallamiento económico-administrativo,

    The Lost Continent of Abraham Lincoln Patrick Kelly The Journal of the Civil War Era, Volume 9, Number 2, June 2019, pp. 223-248 (Article) Published by The University of North Carolina Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/cwe.2019.0027 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/725678 Access provided at 5 Aug 2019 16:33 GMT from UTSA Libraries patrick kelly The Lost Continent of Abraham Lincoln During the U.S. Civil War, a brief period of ideological solidarity developed among the United States and the republics of Spanish America. The word “continent” was widely deployed in the geopolitical vernacular of both the United States and Spanish America to signify the revived fraternity among hemispheric republics. An important example is the first line of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that “all men are created equal.” This essay discusses the context in which Lincoln deployed the word “continent” in his immortal speech to acknowledge that the crisis of the 1860s reached beyond the boundaries of the United States to encompass its neigh- boring republics in the New World. On November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln spoke at the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery, the site of one of the most decisive battles of the U.S. Civil War, just four months earlier. The Union victory at Gettysburg in July and the Confederate surrender of Vicksburg, which fol- lowed almost simultaneously, were battlefield triumphs that seemed to tilt the strategic situation of the Civil War decisively in favor of the North.

  • I TOWARDS a TRANS-CARIBBEAN POETICS: a NEW AESTHETICS OF
    TOWARDS A TRANS-CARIBBEAN POETICS: A NEW AESTHETICS OF POWER AND RESISTANCE BY DAYNALÍ FLORES-RODRIGUEZ DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus Michael Palencia-Roth, Chair and Director of Research Assistant Professor Nancy Castro Associate Professor Dara Goldman Assistant Professor Luciano Tosta i ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes how Caribbean-American writers living elsewhere challenge common ideas about power, violence and oppression through the reinterpretation of Caribbean dictatorial regimes in their fiction, and how their stories fare in comparison to other narrative traditions such as the Latin American dictator novel genre. The works of Julia Alvarez (The Dominican Republic), Edwidge Danticat (Haiti) and Junot Díaz (The Dominican Republic) share thematic and biographical similarities and reveal an emerging aesthetic with definite textual and thematic traits that I identify as Trans-Caribbean, a poetics with four main constitutive aspects. First, it addresses the tensions between individualism and collectivism in Caribbean discourse. Second it addresses the implicit role of logo centrism in shaping cultural narratives. Third, it presents fragmentation as a phenomenon that is both discursive and thematic. Finally, it develops the multiple strategies of visual and linguistic disruption in order to suspend normative representations of Caribbean identity. Trans-Caribbean Poetics is trans-continental, fragmentary, personal, relational and multilingual and suggests a plausible model to analyze discursive relations in a transnational context.
