Cox Beginning in 2009, the Command and General Staff College Foundation has partnered each year with the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College to host an annual ethics symposium at Fort Leavenworth. These annual symposia provide an opportunity for academics and practitioners to come together to discuss ethics as they relate to the profession of arms, the practice of state controlled violence, and national security. The 2019 Fort Leavenworth Ethics Symposium was conducted March 25, 2019, with the theme of “Ethical Implications of Large Scale Combat Operations.” The symposium included a variety of guest speakers, panel discussions, and paper presentations. Over thirty papers were accepted for presentation at the symposium. This publication is a collection of sixteen of those papers, published largely as submitted. Other papers were published in a special edition of the Simons Center’s InterAgency Journal earlier this year, and are listed below.

  • War Crimes in the Philippines During WWII Cecilia Gaerlan
    War Crimes in the Philippines during WWII Cecilia Gaerlan When one talks about war crimes in the Pacific, the Rape of Nanking instantly comes to mind.Although Japan signed the 1929 Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War, it did not ratify it, partly due to the political turmoil going on in Japan during that time period.1 The massacre of prisoners-of-war and civilians took place all over countries occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army long before the outbreak of WWII using the same methodology of terror and bestiality. The war crimes during WWII in the Philippines described in this paper include those that occurred during the administration of General Masaharu Homma (December 22, 1941, to August 1942) and General Tomoyuki Yamashita (October 8, 1944, to September 3, 1945). Both commanders were executed in the Philippines in 1946. Origins of Methodology After the inauguration of the state of Manchukuo (Manchuria) on March 9, 1932, steps were made to counter the resistance by the Chinese Volunteer Armies that were active in areas around Mukden, Haisheng, and Yingkow.2 After fighting broke in Mukden on August 8, 1932, Imperial Japanese Army Vice Minister of War General Kumiaki Koiso (later convicted as a war criminal) was appointed Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army (previously Chief of Military Affairs Bureau from January 8, 1930, to February 29, 1932).3 Shortly thereafter, General Koiso issued a directive on the treatment of Chinese troops as well as inhabitants of cities and towns in retaliation for actual or supposed aid rendered to Chinese troops.4 This directive came under the plan for the economic “Co-existence and co-prosperity” of Japan and Manchukuo.5 The two countries would form one economic bloc.

For over a decade, Chronos has served as a forum dedicated to the dissemination of student research on a broad range of subjects within the realm of history. A number of this edition’s articles were submitted for publication in the 2019-2020 edition of Chronos; unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, that edition never saw the light of day. We mention this only to leave a record for future readers that indeed, we live in historical times. As the COVID-19 pandemic tragically took millions of lives throughout the world, many were faced with a sense of despair in the face of “these unprecedented times.” However, the study of history can serve as a source of comfort by teaching that these times are not unprecedented.

PREFACE This is a study of the Greater East Asia Co- Prosperity Sphere with emphasis on the influence of geo­ political thought in the formation of its concept. It is therefore a rather technical study of one aspect of Japanese diplomacy. Practically no studies have been made con­ cerning the influence of geopolitics on Japanese foreign policy. It is not the purpose of this study to attaok or defend the geopolitics or the concept of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere at any stage of its development, but rather to understand it. The principal data used in preparing this work are: (l) Various records of the International Military Tribunal of the Far East; (2) microfilmed arohives of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 1868-1945; (3) materials written by Japanese geopoliticians as well as Haushofer; and (4) letters from authorities in the different aspects of this work.

  • Based on the Asymmetry Between Chronos and Kairos
    HISTÓRIA DA Research article HISTORIOGRAFIA Reinterpreting the “times of crisis” based on the asymmetry between chronos and kairos Reinterpretando os “tempos de crise” a partir da assimetria entre cronos e kairós Walderez Ramalho a Email: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1314-6995 a Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Instituto de Ciências Humanas e Sociais, Departamento de História, Mariana, MG, Brasil 115 Hist. Historiogr., Ouro Preto, v. 14, n. 35, p. 115-144, jan.-abr. 2021 - DOI https://doi.org/10.15848/hh.v14i35.1733 HISTÓRIA DA Research article HISTORIOGRAFIA ABSTRACT In this article, I argue that the concept of crisis entails a particular form of experiencing and thinking historical time that can only be properly grasped by considering the asymmetry between chronos and kairos. After exploring the main meanings of these two Greek terms for “time”, I show that the chronos paradigm holds hegemony in contemporary theorizations on historical time. Reinhart Koselleck, who construed an influential conceptual history of “crisis”, reiterated such hegemony in his interpretation of the concept’s temporal sense by associating it with the phenomenon of temporal acceleration. This article argues that Koselleck’s interpretation is insufficient since “crisis” encompasses certain dimensions of temporal experience that can only be understood through the notion of kairos – namely, the temporality of decision, urgency, imminent rupture, and uncertainty about the future. KEYWORDS Theory of History. Historical Time. History of Concepts. RESUMO Neste artigo, argumento que o conceito de crise implica uma forma particular de experiência e compreensão do tempo histórico a qual só pode ser apreendida adequadamente quando se considera a assimetria entre cronos e kairós.

The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.[2] He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering (or dukkha), achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada—the oldest surviving branch—has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications Vajrayana, a subcategory of Mahayana, is recognized as a third branch.
