Abstract Title of Dissertation: NEGOTIATING the PLACE OF
Abstract Title of Dissertation: NEGOTIATING THE PLACE OF ASSYRIANS IN MODERN IRAQ, 1960–1988 Alda Benjamen, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation Directed by: Professor Peter Wien Department of History This dissertation deals with the social, intellectual, cultural, and political history of the Assyrians under changing regimes from the 1960s to the 1980s. It examines the place of Assyrians in relation to a state that was increasing in strength and influence, and locates their interactions within socio-political movements that were generally associated with the Iraqi opposition. It analyzes the ways in which Assyrians contextualized themselves in their society and negotiated for social, cultural, and political rights both from the state and from the movements with which they were affiliated. Assyrians began migrating to urban Iraqi centers in the second half of the twentieth century, and in the process became more integrated into their societies. But their native towns and villages in northern Iraq continued to occupy an important place in their communal identity, while interactions between rural and urban Assyrians were ongoing. Although substantially integrated in Iraqi society, Assyrians continued to retain aspects of the transnational character of their community. Transnational interactions between Iraqi Assyrians and Assyrians in neighboring countries and the diaspora are therefore another important phenomenon examined in this dissertation. Finally, the role of Assyrian women in these movements, and their portrayal by intellectuals, -
Future Party Leaders Or Burned Out?
Lund University STVM25 Department of Political Science Tutor: Michael Hansen/Moira Nelson Future party leaders or burned out? A mixed methods study of the leading members of the youth organizations of political parties in Sweden Elin Fjellman Abstract While career-related motives are not given much attention in studies on party membership, there are strong reasons to believe that such professional factors are important for young party members. This study is one of the first comprehensive investigations of how career-related motives impact the willingness of Swedish leading young party members to become politicians in the future. A unique survey among the national board members of the youth organizations confirms that career-related motives make a positive impact. However, those who experienced more internal stress were unexpectedly found to be more willing to become politicians in the future. The most interesting indication was that the factor that made the strongest impact on the willingness was the integration between the youth organization and its mother party. Another important goal was to develop an understanding of the meaning of career-related motives for young party members. Using a set of 25 in-depth interviews with members of the youth organizations, this study identifies a sense among the members that holding a high position within a political party could imply professional reputational costs because some employers would not hire a person who is “labelled as a politician”. This notation of reputational costs contributes importantly to the literature that seeks to explain party membership. Key words: Sweden, youth organizations, political recruitment, career-related motives, stress, party integration Words: 19 995 . -

Danish Cartoons and Christian-Muslim Relations in Denmark
Exchange 39 (2010) 217-235 brill.nl/exch Danish Cartoons and Christian-Muslim Relations in Denmark Jørgen S. Nielsen Professor and Director of the Centre for European Islamic Thought, Faculty of Theology, University of Copenhagen [email protected] Abstract Prior to the arrival of Muslim immigrants and refugees into Denmark in the 1970s and after, Denmark’s experience with Islam was partly through university-based research and partly through missionary activities. During the 1980s and 1990s both sectors gradually adapted to the settlement of Muslims in the country. In the 1990s the public political debate became increasingly heated, leading to a steady tightening of immigration and refugee policies. In this debate an Islamic dimension was starkly exacerbated by the events of 11 September 2001 and the arrival of a new centre-right government two months later. This was the environment in which the ‘Muhammad cartoons’ were published in September 2005, and in which the domes- tic and international crisis played out over the subsequent 6-8 months. But the events also encouraged the emergence of new Islamic organizations and new responses, both negative and positive, on the part of the churches. While the sharp public debate continues, new apparently sustainable structures of Christian-Muslim relations have appeared. Keywords Muslim-Christian relations, Danish church, Muhammad cartoons The publication1 by the national daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten on 30 Sep- tember 2005 of a set of 12 cartoons presented as ‘perceptions’ of the Prophet Muhammad sparked a crisis which swept round the world over the following many months and which still leaves echoes. -
Assyrian Ethnic Identity in a Globalizing World
Artur Boháč. “Assyrian Ethnic Identity in a Globalizing World.” In Beyond Globalisation: Exploring the Limits of Globalisation in the Regional Context (conference proceedings), 67-72. Ostrava: University of Ostrava Czech Republic, 2010. http://conference.osu.eu/globalization/publ/08-bohac.pdf. Assyrian Ethnic Identity in a Globalizing World Artur Boháč University of Ostrava Czech Republic Abstract This article is focused on the manifestations and changes of the Assyrian ethnic identity especially in the 20th and the 21st century. The Assyrian nation is divided into three basic religious branches which are religiously and partially linguistically distinct from each other and which have different political ambitions. In some cases, the Assyrian identity is even discarded by some people considered Assyrians. Nowadays, intra-Assyrian rivalry is globalized because of the existence of numerous diasporas and thematic web pages around the world. The quarrels between Assyrian subgroups complicate advocating national interests and the disunity is often misused by their political opponents. The present paper attempts to explain the roots of intra-Assyrian rivalry, to present various arguments and activities of members of Assyrian groups and scholars and to reveal the political importance of Assyrian identity debate. Key words: Assyrians, identity, globalisation, transnationalism, conflict Introduction In spite of the wide-spread geographical imaginations of the Middle East as an Arabic and Islamic monolith, supported by Western mass media and some Middle Eastern states‘ high politicians, the Middle East is quite a heterogeneous region. This region comprises numerous ethnic, national, religious, linguistic or ethno-religious groups. The relation between majorities and minorities is the major source of various conflicts in the Middle Eastern area. -

Sweden As a Gravitation Center for the Kurds – Diaspora Formation and Transnational Relations
Chapter SWEDEN AS A GRAVITATION CENTER FOR THE KURDS – DIASPORA FORMATION AND TRANSNATIONAL RELATIONS Khalid Khayati Linkoping University, Linkoping, Sweden ABSTRACT This study investigates the general social and political conditions of diasporan Kurds in Sweden who have created considerable networks and organizations that function for them not only as a substantial means of integration in their residing society, but also as genuine transnational institutions that aim, in one way or another, to affect the politics of their former homelands. The formation and development of the Kurdish diaspora in Sweden depends on two principal factors: the social and political composition of the Kurdish population in Sweden which shows an exceedingly diversified diaspora and the advantageous Swedish political climate which promotes diasporic and transnational activities among the Kurds. Certain scholars regard Sweden as a center of gravity where the development of the Kurdish culture, Kurdish politics and generally speaking the Kurdish identity is considered as a response to those repressive policies that the dominant states have imposed on the Kurds throughout the years. In this regard, the diasporic and transnational E-mail: [email protected] 2 Khalid Khayati activities among the Kurds in Sweden partly transfer the Kurdish nationalist movement to a transnational and de-territorial context. INTRODUCTION At the end of January 2006 the former Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) Nordic Representative, Taha Barwari, was the host of the first Kurdish Gala in Stockholm. The Gala, which was attended by numerous Kurdish and Swedish celebrities, gave Mr. Barwari an opportunity to appraise not only a group of leading Kurds who for years had been successful in various areas of Swedish life, but also native Swedes who had in many ways taken an interest in the Kurds and publicly promoted their cause.
