  • Histories of Paris
    UC Center Program Courses - Fall 2013 PCC 111. Histories of Paris Professor Christina von Koehler Lecture: Tuesdays 4:30-6:00 pm Contact: Site Visits: Wednesdays 1:30-3:00 pm (Group A) e-mail: [email protected] Wednesdays 3:30-5:00 pm (Group B) Tel: 01-47-70-29-42 Cell (visits only): 06 85 36 74 11 Office Hours: By appointment This class examines how the history of political ideology and social conflict in France since the Middle Ages has been embodied in the urban landscape of Paris. More than in any other city, the meaning, message, and significance to state and nation of most Parisian sites was -- and continues to be -- violently contested. We will look at the histories of the conception, construction, and public perception of Parisian monuments and place their stories within the larger context of the development of the French state and of French national identity. Major events of French history form the chronological backbone for this course, with emphasis placed on the forces that literally shaped some of the city’s most emblematic neighborhoods and monuments. The readings are selected from works by specialists in French political, urban, and social history; and the class will include weekly visits to sites in Paris, as the student learns to “read” architecture and to use the city as a rich primary source for historical analysis. Be advised: while no prior knowledge of French history is required, a high level of commitment to learning about France is. All of the writing for this class demands careful consideration of both readings for class and information given during site visits.

MUNRO" Review by Amy Click According to a poll conducted in six Chinese provinces by the China Youth Research Center, 90 percent of Chinese youth think the United States tries to dominate China on specific issues, 96 percent of Chinese college students are of this same opinion.' It is this "love/hate" relation- ship2 among the Chinese that concerns the authors of the Coming Con- flict with China. The actors on the world stage were once discernable. Countries knew their enemies and their friends. The United States knew that communist countries were the enemy and democratic countries were friends. How- ever, with the end of the Cold War the balance of power (if it can be called a balance rather than forced cooperation) shifted with the mighty force of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the end of the Berlin Wall.

  • Commonlit | TURMOIL in CHINA; in Shanghai, Protesters Turn Defiant
    Name: Class: TURMOIL IN CHINA; In Shanghai, Protesters Turn Defiant By Richard Bernstein 1989 On June 9, 1989, students challenged the violent and oppressive actions of the Chinese Communist Party by protesting in Shanghai, China. In this article, Richard Bernstein reports on the protests in Shanghai and how the government responded to its citizens’ dissatisfactions. As you read, take notes on what the protestors wanted and how the Communist Party of China responded to the protests. [1] SHANGHAI, June 9 — Tens of thousands of students and others held a protest rally and marched through the streets of this city today in a demonstration of continued defiance of the Communist leadership. The demonstrators, led by students from Shanghai’s many universities and technical institutes, marched to recorded funeral dirges1 behind large, colorful wreathes mourning the thousands believed to have been killed in Beijing when troops crushed the protest movement there. Estimates of the crowd by reporters and diplomats ranged from about 40,000 to more than 100,000. The rally, coming amid reports that security police were making arrests of participants in the democracy movement in Beijing, reflected a contrast between the two cities. While the atmosphere in Beijing is subdued2 and fearful, the events of the day in Shanghai indicate a mood of continued anger and defiance in China’s largest and economically most important city. "Tiananmen_Square_protests" by openDemocracy is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0. A Human Barricade [5] At one point, hundreds of people formed a human barricade3 in front of trucks loaded with auxiliary policemen, preventing them from approaching the demonstration.

From Democratic candidate Bill Clinton's excoriation of then-President George Bush for "coddling dictators" in 1992 to Republican accusations today that the Clinton Administration has all but betrayed our national security for the sake of campaign contributions, China has emerged as our most politically divisive foreign policy issue. The yearly Congressional review of China's Most Favored Nation (MFN) trading status ensures that Sino-American relations remain the near-constant subject of partisan contention, much of it vociferous.

  • Britain and the Development of Professional Security Forces in the Gulf Arab States, 1921-71: Local Forces and Informal Empire
    Britain and the Development of Professional Security Forces in the Gulf Arab States, 1921-71: Local Forces and Informal Empire by Ash Rossiter Submitted to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arab and Islamic Studies February 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Abstract Imperial powers have employed a range of strategies to establish and then maintain control over foreign territories and communities. As deploying military forces from the home country is often costly – not to mention logistically stretching when long distances are involved – many imperial powers have used indigenous forces to extend control or protect influence in overseas territories. This study charts the extent to which Britain employed this method in its informal empire among the small states of Eastern Arabia: Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the seven Trucial States (modern day UAE), and Oman before 1971. Resolved in the defence of its imperial lines of communication to India and the protection of mercantile shipping, Britain first organised and enforced a set of maritime truces with the local Arab coastal shaikhs of Eastern Arabia in order to maintain peace on the sea. Throughout the first part of the nineteenth century, the primary concern in the Gulf for the British, operating through the Government of India, was therefore the cessation of piracy and maritime warfare.
