Iran, Terrorism, and Weapons of Mass Destruction
Studies in Conflict & Terrorism, 31:169–181, 2008 Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 1057-610X print / 1521-0731 online DOI: 10.1080/10576100701878424 Iran, Terrorism, and Weapons of Mass Destruction DANIEL BYMAN Center for Peace and Security Studies Georgetown University Washington, DC, USA and Saban Center for Middle East Policy Brookings Institution Washington, DC, USA This article reviews Iran’s past and current use of terrorism and assesses why U.S. attempts to halt Iran’s efforts have met with little success. With this assessment in mind, it argues that Iran is not likely transfer chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons to terrorist groups for several reasons. First, providing terrorists with such unconventional Downloaded By: [Georgetown University] At: 15:20 19 March 2008 weapons offers Iran few tactical advantages as these groups are able to operate effectively with existing methods and weapons. Second, Iran has become more cautious in its backing of terrorists in recent years. And third, Tehran is highly aware that any major escalation in its support for terrorism would incur U.S. wrath and international condemnation. The article concludes by offering recommendations for decreasing Iran’s support for terrorism. Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran has been one of the world’s most active sponsors of terrorism. Tehran has armed, trained, financed, inspired, organized, and otherwise supported dozens of violent groups over the years.1 Iran has backed not only groups in its Persian Gulf neighborhood, but also terrorists and radicals in Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, Bosnia, the Philippines, and elsewhere.2 This support remains strong even today: the U.S. -
Three Conquests of Canaan
ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case. -

The Destruction of Cultural Heritage: a Crime Against Property Or a Crime Against People?
THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW THE DESTRUCTION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE: A CRIME AGAINST PROPERTY OR A CRIME AGAINST PEOPLE? PATTY GERSTENBLITH ABSTRACT The destruction of cultural heritage has played a prominent role in the ongoing conflicts in Syria and Iraq and in the recent conflict in Mali. This destruction has displayed the failure of international law to effectively deter these actions. This article reviews existing international law in light of this destruction and the challenges posed by the issues of non-international armed conflict, non-state actors and the military necessity exception. By examining recent developments in applicable international law, the article proposes that customary international law has evolved to interpret existing legal instruments and doctrines concerning cultural heritage in light of the principles of proportionality and distinction and a definition of intentionality that includes extreme negligence and willful disregard. As a result, international law may more effectively foster the preservation of cultural heritage for future generations.

Sleepy Hollow and the Arrovian Legend: Is There a Generalizable Relationship Between Concentration and Innovation?
United States of America Federal Trade Commission Sleepy Hollow and the Arrovian Legend: Is There a Generalizable Relationship Between Concentration and Innovation? Christine S. Wilson Commissioner, U.S. Federal Trade Commission Remarks at the Concurrences Event “Big Techs and Start-Ups: Where is the Innovation?” New York, NY September 12, 2019 The views expressed in these remarks are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Trade Commission or any other Commissioner. Many thanks to my advisors, Keith Klovers and Jeremy Sandford, for assisting in the preparation of these remarks. 1 I. INTRODUCTION Good evening! Many thanks to Concurrences and Nicolas Charbit for inviting me here today, to Frédérick Jenny for moderating, and to Isabelle de Silva for joining me in sharing thoughts on tonight’s topic. Specifically, we’ve been asked to address “Big Techs and Start-Ups: Where is the Innovation?”1 Given the growing focus on the acquisition of nascent competitors by large tech firms, the question is timely. Before I begin, I must give the standard disclaimer: The views I express today are my own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission or any other Commissioner. Many commentators assert that the acquisition of nascent competitors necessarily reduces competition. There are two strains of this argument. First, many today believe that small firms are inherently more innovative than large ones, so that the acquisition of a small firm by a large one necessarily reduces innovation.2 A few others have argued that some famous corporate behemoths, like AT&T and IBM, were less innovative before they faced antitrust suits.3 1 Of course, I am not the first sitting FTC Commissioner to consider the nature of innovation and its role in competition policy. -

1 Appetite for Destruction
Appetite for Destruction: The Impact of the September 11 Attacks on Business Founding Srikanth Paruchuri Associate Professor Warrington College of Business University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611 Ph: 352-392-8128 Email: [email protected] Paul Ingram Kravis Professor of Business Columbia University 3022 Broadway New York, NY 10027 Tel: 212-854-2740 Email: [email protected] June 15, 2010 We are grateful to Heather Haveman, Felix Oberholzer-Gee, Peter Roberts, Elaine Romanelli, Brian Silverman, Olav Sorensen and David Weinstein for help and comments, and to CIBER for providing financial support. An earlier version of this paper was presented at the annual meetings of the Academy of Management in Philadelphia in August 2007. 1 Appetite for Destruction: The Impact of the September 11 Attacks on Business Founding ABSTRACT It is widely accepted that entrepreneurial creation affects destruction, as new and better organizations, technologies and transactions replace old ones. This phenomenon is labeled creative destruction, but it might more accurately be called destructive creation, given the driving role of creation in the process. We reverse the typical causal ordering, and ask whether destruction may drive creation. We argue that economic systems may get stuck in suboptimal equilibria due to path dependence, and that destruction may sweep away this inertia, and open the way for entrepreneurship. To test this idea we need an exogenous destructive shock, rather than destruction that is endogenous to the process of economic progress. Our identification strategy relies on the September 11 attacks as an exogenous destructive shock to the economic system centered on New York City. Consistent with our theoretical claim, we find fifteen months after the attacks, the rate of business founding close to New York City exceeds the rate before the attacks, even after controlling for the inflow of recovery funds. -

(Oxford, UK: Oxford Uni- versity Press, 2005. 247 pp. hardcover $35.00; softcover $19.95.) Reviewer : Tugrul Keskin, Department of Sociology at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, USA Harvey provides a historical overview of neo-liberalism in the context of capitalist expansion, and the emergence of a new form embedded liberalism in the 1950s and 60s. He identifi es the fi rst experiment with neoliberal state formation (p. 7) as the Chilean case after the coup of September 11, 1973. Th is was referenced as very similar to the Turkish case under the military regime after 1980. In the case of Turkish neoliberalization, the World Bank and IMF imposed privatization and deregulation policies, similar to the dictatorial Pinochet regime in Chile.
