  • The Egyptian Military in Politics and the Economy: Recent History and Current Transition Status
    CMI INSIGHT October 2013 No 2 The Egyptian military in politics and the economy: Recent history and current transition status The Egyptian military has been playing a decisive role in national politics since the eruption of the 2011 uprisings. The Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) governed the country from February 2011 until June 2012. They worked closely with the elected civilian President Morsi of the Muslim Brothers. In June 2013, supported by mass protests and in collaboration with youth movements, the military overthrew president Morsi. The future of the democratic transition in Egypt is closely linked to General Abd al- Fattah al-Sisi, the current Minister of Defence. He was instrumental in forming the current transitional government, and hold key roles in drafting the new constitution and organizing subsequent elections. This CMI Insight explores recent historical episodes that inform the extensive political leverage that the military enjoys in Egyptian politics.

  • Charles Hobart
    CONFEDERATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION OF BELGIUM ven the keenest student of the American Civil War may be forgiven for being E unaware that one of the greatest of the blockade-runner captains in that conflict lies buried on a Turkish hillside overlooking the Bosphorus. Augustus Charles Hobart, known to his Victorian contemporaries as Hobart Pasha, was born on 1 April 1822 at Walton-on-the-Wolds, Leicestershire, the third son of the Reverend Augustus Edward Hobart, Rector of St. Mary’s Church and younger brother of the fifth Earl of Buckinghamshire. Some confusion has arisen over the family name of the future naval hero, which is usually given today as Hobart-Hampden. This is because his uncle, the fifth Earl, on inheriting the Buckinghamshire estates of the Hampden family in 1824, added their name to his own. However, although the Rector of St. Mary’s succeeded to the title in 1849, he did not change his name until 1878. Augustus Charles, who died in 1886, was therefore a plain Hobart for all but the last eight years of his life. The boy was sent to Dr. Mayo’s famous school at Cheam, Surrey. He proved a most unpromising student, however, and in 1835, shortly before his thirteenth birthday, he abandoned his studies and joined HMS Rover at Devonport as a midshipman. He spent the greater part of the next eight years on ships patrolling the coast of South America, as part of the Royal Navy’s efforts in the suppression of the slave trade. In the course of this, while serving on HMS Dolphin, he managed to capture a Brazilian slaver and brought her in triumph into the harbour of Demerara as a prize.

  • Science Versus Religion: the Influence of European Materialism on Turkish Thought, 1860-1960
    Science versus Religion: The Influence of European Materialism on Turkish Thought, 1860-1960 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Serdar Poyraz, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Carter V. Findley, Advisor Jane Hathaway Alan Beyerchen Copyright By Serdar Poyraz 2010 i Abstract My dissertation, entitled “Science versus Religion: The Influence of European Materialism on Turkish Thought, 1860-1960,” is a radical re-evaluation of the history of secularization in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey. I argue that European vulgar materialist ideas put forward by nineteenth-century intellectuals and scientists such as Ludwig Büchner (1824-1899), Karl Vogt (1817-1895) and Jacob Moleschott (1822-1893) affected how Ottoman and Turkish intellectuals thought about religion and society, ultimately paving the way for the radical reforms of Kemal Atatürk and the strict secularism of the early Turkish Republic in the 1930s. In my dissertation, I challenge traditional scholarly accounts of Turkish modernization, notably those of Bernard Lewis and Niyazi Berkes, which portray the process as a Manichean struggle between modernity and tradition resulting in a linear process of secularization. On the basis of extensive research in modern Turkish, Ottoman Turkish and Persian sources, I demonstrate that the ideas of such leading westernizing and secularizing thinkers as Münif Pasha (1830-1910), Beşir Fuad (1852-1887) and Baha Tevfik (1884-1914) who were inspired by European materialism provoked spirited religious, philosophical and literary responses from such conservative anti-materialist thinkers as Şehbenderzade ii Ahmed Hilmi (1865-1914), Said Nursi (1873-1960) and Ahmed Hamdi Tanpınar (1901- 1962).

  • DID SERVANT-LEADERSHIP SAVE the LONE SURVIVOR? the Pashtunwali Ethos As a Foundation for the Practice of Servant- Leadership — X
    DID SERVANT-LEADERSHIP SAVE THE LONE SURVIVOR? The Pashtunwali Ethos as a Foundation for the Practice of Servant- Leadership — X. JASMINE BORDERE AND FRANKLIN G. MIXON, JR. ervant-leadership is a unique leadership philosophy that, Saccording to Greenleaf (1970, 1977), asserts that an effective leader must first be a servant whose primary goal is to serve the needs and interests of others. Stated differently, a servant-leader supports and develops those among his or her followership (Northouse, 2013). In fact, Stone, Russell, and Patterson (2004) suggest that its central focus on serving followers is what differentiates servant-leadership from other leadership styles. Additionally, servant-leaders express humility, authenticity, interpersonal acceptance and stewardship, and provide directions and empower followers, all of which ultimately leads to organizational success (Dierendonck & Nuijten, 2011; Northouse, 2013). The practice of servant-leadership has a long history. As evident in The Holy Bible, Jesus Christ first introduced the concept of servant-leadership to human endeavor over two thousand years ago (Sendjaya & Sarros, 2002). However, it was not until the 1970s that Greenleaf (1970, 1977) conceptualized the notion of servant- leadership and revitalized the practice of servant-leadership in modern organizations (Gandolfi, Stone, & Deno, 2017). Based on 359 The International Journal of Servant-Leadership, 2020, vol, 14, issue 1, 359-380 Greenleaf’s (1970, 1977) view of servant-leadership, Spears (1995) identifies 10 critical characteristics

  • Honoring the Fallen
    Honoring the Fallen The family of fallen SEAL portrayed in Lone Survivor remembers their son. Danny Dietz, 19 Danny Dietz was one of four Navy SEALs on Operation Red Wings, a mission to eliminate a high-ranking member of the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan. They were ambushed, and he and two other comrades did not survive. The major motion picture and book, Lone Survivor, are based on retellings of the story by fellow SEAL Marcus Luttrell. Dietz’s family has seen the heroic ending of his life portrayed in writing and on the big screen, and they are using the occasion to bring awareness to his values and celebrate his life and the service of his fellow sailors. Danny’s parents describe their son as an intelligent, curious and energetic young man who was always laced in the gifted and talented programs throughout his school years. “He had so much energy and curiosity, even at a young age,” said his father, Dan Dietz. “As a young child, he wanted to be a ninja, but when he was 9, he learned that wasn’t real and right then decided being a Navy SEAL was the next best thing.” Then around eighth grade he decided he was bored with the normal routine and wanted to have a sort of ‘bad-boy’ image,” said his mother, Cindy Dietz-Marsh. He starting hanging out with some bad kids.” Danny’s luck ran out when he started skipping school. “The court sent him to a military-style boot camp for young people,” said Dietz-Marsh.

Buchanan Title: ROTTEN SYMBOL MONGERING: SCAPEGOATING IN POST-9/11 AMERICAN WAR LITERATURE Advisor: Dr. Billy J. Stratton Degree Date: August 2015 Abstract A rhetorical approach to the fiction of war offers an appropriate vehicle by which one may encounter and interrogate such literature and the cultural metanarratives that exist therein. My project is a critical analysis—one that relies heavily upon Kenneth Burke’s dramatistic method and his concepts of scapegoating, the comic corrective, and hierarchical psychosis—of three war novels published in 2012 (The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers, FOBBIT by David Abrams, and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain).
