Haas. Srirupa Roy and Agustin Lao-Montes for their advice, comments and guidance through all stages of this project. 1 am extremely grateful to Peter Haas who did not only take this on but critically, gave me the space and the freedom which I needed in order to find my own way in this project. This, together with the example that he set for rigor and openness from my very first graduate class with him, has left an indelible mark. Srirupa Roy's example as a scholar and a teacher, as well as her insightful comments on my work, which were provided, always at just the right time, made a huge difference to my thinking. I thank her for all this as well as for her encouragement, enthusiasm and support. I am also grateful to Patrick Thaddeus Jackson who provided important comments and insights during the initial stages of this project at the first Relational and Interpretive Methods workshop held at the Northeast International Studies Association Conference in 2005. Much of this work also depended on the generosity of librarians, archivists and libraries. 1 would like to thank the British National Archives, the Bodleian Library at Oxford, the British Library of Political and Economic Science at the LSE, and the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies which gave me access to their holdings. Special thanks go to the librarians who work at the Circulation Desk and the Interlibrary Loan Department of the W.E. Du Bois Library of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Besides providing me with access to some non-circulating material, the Circulation Desk and in particular, Rachel Hobbie, went beyond the call of duty to help me when dozens of library books were damaged in a fire just as I embarked on my research. The v incredibly persistent and helpful staff at the Interlibrary Loan Department obtained the many primary documents which I needed. While in graduate school, Eric S. Einhorn was a source of advice and help and I thank him for always being there. I was also extremely fortunate to meet Vinnie Ferraro whose special brand of humanity and generosity of spirit helped me at a difficult juncture. He gave me his time and kindness but most of all. he had faith in me when I had little of it in myself. Emily Hardt. Carlos Suarez Carrasquillo and Guliz Dine read parts of this project, and provided friendship, cheer, laughter and an unending supply of support and sensible advice as we navigated through the program. Over the years. Soon Ee Ngoh. Sor Kuan Goh. Elaine Tan, Linda Lew, Emily Hardt, Lynette Ng. Priya Malhotra. Vivienne Woon. and Akiyo Horii have been steady, loyal and patient friends who have been the source of fun and laughter as well as everything from excellent meals and care packages to possible contacts for research interviews. Soon Ee Ngoh, Sor Kuan Goh, Elaine Tan and Linda Lew have shared much with me and have been friends of extraordinary loyalty and generosity throughout this period in my life. Special, special thanks go to Soon Ee Ngoh who never stopped listening. My family cheered me on at all times and in all possible ways. My parents gave me the freedom to do things in my own way and supported me as best as they could. Throughout the best of times and the worst of times, I w as able to lean on my incomparable siblings. Lay Poh, Kee Cheo, Lay Kee and Mei. Besides being the source of strength for everyone. Lay Kee funded my research trips to London and Jakarta. Throughout this long and difficult process, each one of them shouldered much vi and were also unstintingly and unfailingly patient, understanding, loving, supportive and generous. Together and separately, they gave pep talks, wrote encouraging letters and emails, and ensured that I had everything that 1 needed. I stood on their shoulders every single day and without them, much would have been impossible. This is for them. vii ABSTRACT DISENGAGING FROM TERRITORY: IDENTITY. THE POLITICS OF CONTESTATION AND DOMESTIC POLITICAL STRUCTURES BRITAIN & INDIA (1929-1935). AND INDONESIA & EAST TIMOR (1975-1999) SEPTEMBER 2007 LENA TAN. B.A.. SMITH COLLEGE MSc.. LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE Ph.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by: Professor Peter M. Haas This dissertation project examines the role of identity, the politics of identity contestation and domestic political structures as part of the mechanisms and processes that may be involved in the decisions that states make regarding disengagement from their colonial and territorial possessions. Specifically, it focuses on the following questions: Why do intransigent states back down on previously entrenched territorial policies? And why. even when states decide to disengage from their territories, are some of these processes peaceful while others are scenes of prolonged, bloody and violent struggles? Focusing on Britain and its reaction to Indian calls for independence from 1929-1935, and Indonesia’s withdrawal from East Timor in 1999. this project argues that the processes and mechanisms involved in identity construction, maintenance and change can play an important role in how states approach the issue of territorial disengagement. At the same time, it also argues that the structure of a state’s domestic political system may also affect the way in which disengagement takes places. viii Based on its empirical findings, this dissertation also argues that identities are constructed at both the domestic as well as the international levels, and against an Other, and through narratives. Further, identities do not acquire ‘substance’ once they have been constructed. Rather they are continually constituted by processes, relations and practices as identities are defined, recognized and validated in an actor’s interaction with and in relationship to others. Finally, identity does not only influence human actions through enabling or constraining actions but also through the need to perform who we are or who we say we want to be.

  • Engineers in India: Industrialisation, Indianisation and the State, 1900-47
    Engineers in India: Industrialisation, Indianisation and the State, 1900-47 A P A R A J I T H R AMNATH July 2012 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Imperial College London Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine DECLARATION This thesis represents my own work. Where the work of others is mentioned, it is duly referenced and acknowledged as such. APARAJITH RAMNATH Chennai, India 30 July 2012 2 ABSTRACT This thesis offers a collective portrait of an important group of scientific and technical practitioners in India from 1900 to 1947: professional engineers. It focuses on engineers working in three key sectors: public works, railways and private industry. Based on a range of little-used sources, it charts the evolution of the profession in terms of the composition, training, employment patterns and work culture of its members. The thesis argues that changes in the profession were both caused by and contributed to two important, contested transformations in interwar Indian society: the growth of large-scale private industry (industrialisation), and the increasing proportion of ‘native’ Indians in government services and private firms (Indianisation). Engineers in the public works and railways played a crucial role as officers of the colonial state, as revealed by debates on Indianisation in these sectors. Engineers also enabled the emergence of large industrial enterprises, which in turn impacted the profession. Previously dominated by expatriate government engineers, the profession expanded, was considerably Indianised, and diversified to include industrial experts. Whereas the profession was initially oriented towards the imperial metropolis, a nascent Indian identity emerged in the interwar period.

  • The Conservative Party & Perceptions of the Middle
    THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY & PERCEPTIONS OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES TITLE: THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE BRITISH MIDDLE CLASSES, 1951 - 1974 By LEANNA FONG, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Leanna Fong, August 2016 Ph.D. Thesis – Leanna Fong McMaster University - Department of History Descriptive Note McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2016) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: The Conservative Party and Perceptions of the British Middle Classes, 1951 - 1974 AUTHOR: Leanna Fong, B.A., M.A (York University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Stephen Heathorn PAGES: vi, 307 ii Ph.D. Thesis – Leanna Fong McMaster University - Department of History Abstract “The Conservative Party and Perceptions of the British Middle Classes, 1951 – 1974,” explores conceptions of middle-class voters at various levels of the party organization after the Second World War. Since Benjamin Disraeli, Conservatives have endeavoured to represent national rather than sectional interests and appeal widely to a growing electorate. Yet, the middle classes and their interests have also enjoyed a special position in the Conservative political imagination often because the group insists they receive special consideration. It proved especially difficult to juggle these priorities after 1951 when Conservatives encountered two colliding challenges: the middle classes growing at a rapid rate, failing to form a unified outlook or identity, and the limited appeal of consumer rhetoric and interests owing to the uneven experience of affluence and prosperity. Conservative ideas and policies failed to acknowledge and resonate with the changing nature of their core supporters and antiquated local party organization reinforced feelings of alienation from and mistrust of new members of the middle classes as well as affluent workers.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT This study examines Conservative backbench debate on European integration and British relations in the Middle East. It concentrates upon the Europeanists and the Suez Group and considers their attempts to influence British foreign policy from the formation of the Council of Europe in 1948 until the resignation of Sir Anthony Eden as Prime Minister in January 1957. Interviews with former parliamentarians and contemporary sources, published and unpublished, are used to assess their influence. The position of these groups within the spectrum of the Conservative party is considered, and the extent to which a common philosophy and motivation can be attributed to each faction. It analyses the role of the Europeanists in supporting Continental moves towards European integration, as well as broader Conservative attitudes to European integration and its emerging institutions: the Council of Europe, the European Coal and Steel Community, the European Defence Community, and the Messina process.
