University Microfilms Inter National INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Paget si” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing pagets) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

  • Haessly, Katie (2010) British Conservative Women Mps
    British Conservative Women MPs and ‘Women’s Issues’ 1950-1979 Katie Haessly, BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2010 1 Abstract In the period 1950-1979, there were significant changes in legislation relating to women’s issues, specifically employment, marital and guardianship and abortion rights. This thesis explores the impact of Conservative female MPs on these changes as well as the changing roles of women within the party. In addition there is a discussion of the relationships between Conservative women and their colleagues which provides insights into the changes in gender roles which were occurring at this time. Following the introduction the next four chapters focus on the women themselves and the changes in the above mentioned women’s issues during the mid-twentieth century and the impact Conservative women MPs had on them. The changing Conservative attitudes are considered in the context of the wider changes in women’s roles in society in the period. Chapter six explores the relationship between women and men of the Conservative Parliamentary Party, as well as men’s impact on the selected women’s issues. These relationships were crucial to enhancing women’s roles within the party, as it is widely recognised that women would not have been able to attain high positions or affect the issues as they did without help from male colleagues. Finally, the female Labour MPs in the alteration of women’s issues is discussed in Chapter seven. Labour women’s relationships both with their party and with Conservative women are also examined.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

    PART I INTRODUCTION TO THE INTER-AMERICAN SYSTEM FOR THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS PART I: INTRODUCTION TO THE INTER-AMERICAN SYSTEM FOR THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS 1.1 The Organization of American States: The Development of the Human Rights System The Organization of American States (“OAS” or “the Organization”) is a regional inter-governmental organization which includes thirty-five Member States: the independent nations of North, Central and South America and the Caribbean.1 Cuba remains a member, but its Government has been excluded from participation in the OAS since 1962. The OAS has also granted Permanent Observer status to fifty-seven States and to the European Union. The OAS Charter (“Charter”), the Organization’s constituting instrument, is a multilateral treaty that was adopted and opened for signature in Bogotá, Colombia in 1948; it entered into force in December 1951.2 The Charter was subsequently amended by the Protocol of Buenos Aires in 19673 and by the Protocol of Cartagena de Indias in 1985.4 In 1992 and 1993, two additional amending Protocols were signed: the Protocol of Washington5 and the Protocol of Managua.6 The Protocol of Washington entered into force in 1997 once it was ratified by two-thirds of the Member States, and the Protocol of Managua came into force on January 29, 1996. The Charter makes very few express references to human rights. Article 3(l) establishes that the “American States proclaim the fundamental rights of the individual without distinction as to race, nationality, creed, or sex.” Article

  • The Transparent Sphynix: Political Biography and the Question of Intellectual Responsibility
    file:///C|/milani.txt The Transparent Sphynix: Political Biography and the Question of Intellectual Responsibility Afshin Matin-asgari Abbas Milani, The Persian Sphinx: Amir Abbas Hoveyda and the Riddle of the Iranian Revolution (Washington DC: Mage Publishers, 2000). 399 pages. Political biography has become a popular genre in post- revolutionary Iran. Government figures, leaders of political parties, academics, and professional writers have already produced a large body of autobiographies, memoirs, biographies, and semi-biographical fiction. When a triumphant Islamic Republic called for a radical break with the past, it also caused a deep sense of anxiety and curiosity about all that was suppressed, rejected, and denied. Despite, or perhaps because of this official sanitizasion of history, there seems to be an endless appetite for books about the Pahlavi era (1926-79). Thanks to the bleak realities of post-revolutionary Iran, not only the old regime, but even the Qajar monarchy (1796-1925) has now acquired a warm nostalgic glow in popular imagination. For example, in the late 1990s, a best- selling novel called Bamdad-e Khomar (Morning of Intoxication) caused a minor cultural stir by going against supposedly populist literary conventions to depict wealth and aristocratic privilege as positive values. Beyond popular culture, a certain historical revisionism seems to be at work in serious historical/biographical studies that, like Abbas Amant’s Pivot of the Universe: Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar and the Iranian Monarchy: 1831-1896 (1997), take issue with pervasive but stereotypical representations of monarchy as the epitome of decadence and stagnation. Writing political biographies and autobiographies related to the Pahlavi era and the Islamic Republic, however, remains more politically sensitive and intellectually daunting.
