  • Modern Hong Kong
    Modern Hong Kong Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Asian History Modern Hong Kong Steve Tsang Subject: China, Hong Kong, Macao, and/or Taiwan Online Publication Date: Feb 2017 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.280 Abstract and Keywords Hong Kong entered its modern era when it became a British overseas territory in 1841. In its early years as a Crown Colony, it suffered from corruption and racial segregation but grew rapidly as a free port that supported trade with China. It took about two decades before Hong Kong established a genuinely independent judiciary and introduced the Cadet Scheme to select and train senior officials, which dramatically improved the quality of governance. Until the Pacific War (1941–1945), the colonial government focused its attention and resources on the small expatriate community and largely left the overwhelming majority of the population, the Chinese community, to manage themselves, through voluntary organizations such as the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. The 1940s was a watershed decade in Hong Kong’s history. The fall of Hong Kong and other European colonies to the Japanese at the start of the Pacific War shattered the myth of the superiority of white men and the invincibility of the British Empire. When the war ended the British realized that they could not restore the status quo ante. They thus put an end to racial segregation, removed the glass ceiling that prevented a Chinese person from becoming a Cadet or Administrative Officer or rising to become the Senior Member of the Legislative or the Executive Council, and looked into the possibility of introducing municipal self-government.

  • Bridging the Atlantic a Norwegian Contribution to US Sealift
    C O N C E P T P A P E R S E R I E S /2 0 1 9 Bridging the Atlantic A Norwegian Contribution to US Sealift Åse Gilje Østensen and Ståle Ulriksen There is currently considerable concern with US capacity to muster the acquired number of sealift vessels needed to swiftly deploy forces overseas. Norway for its part has a large, modern, and versatile merchant fleet that could be militarily useful in case of NATO operations to reinforce Europe. This brief suggest a bilateral agreement be signed between Norway and the US that obliges Norway to muster a significant number of Norwegian-controlled ships to support transatlantic US sealift operations. Norway, along with most other European NATO member states, relies on US reinforcements for its national security. These reinforcements arrive by sea. Therefore, an agreement such as the one suggested in this brief serves the security interests of the US, Norway, and the rest of the European NATO states. REVITALIZING TRANSATLANTIC MARITIME SECURITY The research project “Revitalizing Transatlantic Maritime Security: Filling Capability Gaps with the Norwegian Commercial Shipping Sector” intends to bring forward creative ideas on how to fill logistical gaps by leveraging private -public partnerships with merchant fleet operators. The project is a collaboration between Center for New American Security, Norwegian Institiute of International Affairs and the Royal Norwegian Naval Academy. The project is funded by a research grant provided by the Norwegian Ministry of Defence. Norwegian Defence University College Royal Norwegian Naval Academy Concept Paper Series 2 1/2019 The United States has long had a unique capability contribute to the military muscle of NATO that do to project power around the world by rapidly not cripple the country’s military presence in the deploying military forces.

Verdenskrig: Utenlandsfangene i Tyskland og eksempler på fangekorrespondanse Av Erik Lørdahl nder den tyske okkupa­ sjonen av Norge i årene U1940-45 ble til sammen mellom 40 000 og 50 000 nor­ ske menn og kvinner arrestert. Årsakene var forskjellige, men av de som for kortere eller len­ gre tid havnet i tysk fangenskap, ble langt de fleste arrestert som enkeltpersoner, og da for en el­ 3 ler annen form for «motstand mot den tyske besettelsesmakt», eller som gisler. Mange havnet imidlertid også bak murer eller piggtråd som følge av yrkesmes­ sig tilknytning - enten som en­ keltindivid eller som tilhørende en gruppe, og jødene som kjent pga. sitt opphav. Av de arresterte ble 7 000 - 8 000 sendt til leire, fengsler eller tukthus i Tyskland eller i andre okkuperte land. Ved krigens slutt var det 5 000 - 6 000 igjen i disse områdene. De øvrige var enten døde eller for noens vedkommende sluppet fri i løpet av krigstiden. De arresterte kan inndeles i følgende fangekategorier: 1. Krigsfangene 2. Konsentrasjonsleirfangene 3.

  • The Norwegian Merchant Fleet
    c cial S ien o ce s S Lysgard and Tenden, Arts Social Sci J 2019, 10:3 d J n o a u r s n t a r l A Arts and Social Sciences Journal ISSN: 2151-6200 Review Article Open Access The Norwegian Merchant Fleet - The Small State’s Multi Tool for Future Crisis Asbjorn Lysgard* and Ole Christian Tenden Department of Military Strategy and Operations, Norwegian Defence Staff and Command College, Norwegian Defence University College, Norway Abstract In a complex world with humanitarian crises, natural disasters, migration, terrorism, and piracy, Norway has an obligation to protect and assist both its own citizens and international partners all over the globe within its limited means. Norway’s merchant fleet forward presence, the unique legal framework between the Norwegian Government and the Norwegian Ship owners Association, and the international networks of maritime clusters can enable rapid logistical support for an expeditionary force in a hasty crisis response or limited contingency operation. Discussion: The Kingdom of Norway has long-held seafarer traditions and has managed one of the world’s most substantial commercial fleets for centuries. In the world wars, Norway had the world’s third biggest commercial fleet. When invaded by Germany, the Norwegian Government requisitioned all Norwegian ships and established the Norwegian Shipping and Trade Mission. The world wars led to a close cooperation between the Norwegian Government and the Norwegian Ship owners, which continues today. The merchant ships play a significant role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s Article V logistical plans or support of the “Out of Area” concept.

  • The Role of Islam in the Construction of the Foreign Economic Relations of the Republic of Indonesia
    Ph.D. Thesis — M.S.

WILLIAMS, B.A.H, 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 Mark S. Williams, November 2012 Ph.D. Thesis — M.S. Williams McMaster University — Political Science DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY (2012) McMaster University (Political Science) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Role of Islam in the Construction of the Foreign Economic Relations of the Republic of Indonesia AUTHOR: Mark S. Williams, B.A., M.A. SUPERVISOR: Professor Richard Stubbs NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 280 ii Ph.D. Thesis — M.S. Williams McMaster University — Political Science Abstract American IPE has traditionally marginalized the role that social forces, and particularly religion, have played in the construction of the international political economy. This dissertation is an examination into the foreign economic relations of the Republic of Indonesia from the perspective of the British school of International Political Economy (IPE). British IPE is used to critically assess what role, if any, the religion of Islam has had in the construction of Indonesia’s foreign economic relations. This research demonstrates that Islamic social forces have influenced the political debates that construct Indonesia’s foreign economic relationships. Mainstream Islamic organizations pushed the state to engage with international institutions of trade and finance throughout the pre‐independence period when Indonesian national identity was being forged, as well as during the parliamentary democracy that followed independence, and into Sukarno’s “Guided Democracy.” The trend from the Suharto era to the early twenty‐first has been the appropriation of Islamic discourse by the state to legitimize its economic policies of engagement with the international political economy.

  • Singapore Volunteer Corps 1854 – 1937, Being Also a Historical Outline of Volunteering in Malaya, Singapore, Government Printing Offi Ce, 1938
    APPENDIX I A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE VOLUNTEER FORCES IN SINGAPORE I. INTRODUCTION In compiling this account, the Editorial Committee made extensive use of Captain T. M. Winsley’s A History of The Singapore Volunteer Corps 1854 – 1937, being also A Historical Outline of Volunteering in Malaya, Singapore, Government Printing Offi ce, 1938. When the Singapore Volunteer Rifl e Corps (SVRC) introduced Volunteer military service to Singapore in 1854, it was exclusively for and by expatriate Europeans. Its primary role was to supplement police resources to protect the expatriates from ‘native’ violence but it also undertook to resist the invasion of a foreign foe.1 During WWI, by which time the Volunteer movement had been extended to locals in the Straits Settlements as well as the federated and unfederated states of the Malayan peninsula, legislation was formally passed to draft Volunteers in times of war. The Volunteers played a signifi cant role during WWII in operations against the Japanese. The formal co-optation of the Singapore Volunteer Corps (SVC) to train conscripts after the Colonial Government introduced National Service in Singapore in 1954, completed the process of integrating the Volunteers fully into the national security role. Thus, on expulsion from Malaysia in 1965, the Volunteers in the shape of the People’s Defence Force (PDF) had at least an equal claim with the regular battalions—1 and 2 SIR—to being the forebears of the SAF. As such, an account of the origins of the SAF would benefi t from a quick summary of the history of the Volunteers. However, while the Volunteer movement in Singapore defi nitively began in 1954, and survived in one form or another, it did not have an unbroken lineage in terms of corps of service or orientation all the way back to 1854.
