  • The Mount Scopus Enclave, 1948–1967
    Yfaat Weiss Sovereignty in Miniature: The Mount Scopus Enclave, 1948–1967 Abstract: Contemporary scholarly literature has largely undermined the common perceptions of the term sovereignty, challenging especially those of an exclusive ter- ritorial orientation and offering a wide range of distinct interpretations that relate, among other things, to its performativity. Starting with Leo Gross’ canonical text on the Peace of Westphalia (1948), this article uses new approaches to analyze the policy of the State of Israel on Jerusalem in general and the city’s Mount Scopus enclave in 1948–1967 in particular. The article exposes tactics invoked by Israel in three different sites within the Mount Scopus enclave, demilitarized and under UN control in the heart of the Jordanian-controlled sector of Jerusalem: two Jewish in- stitutions (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Hadassah hospital), the Jerusa- lem British War Cemetery, and the Palestinian village of Issawiya. The idea behind these tactics was to use the Demilitarization Agreement, signed by Israel, Transjor- dan, and the UN on July 7, 1948, to undermine the status of Jerusalem as a Corpus Separatum, as had been proposed in UN Resolution 181 II. The concept of sovereignty stands at the center of numerous academic tracts written in the decades since the end of the Cold War and the partition of Europe. These days, with international attention focused on the question of Jerusalem’s international status – that is, Israel’s sovereignty over the town – there is partic- ularly good reason to examine the broad range of definitions yielded by these discussions. Such an examination can serve as the basis for an informed analy- sis of Israel’s policy in the past and, to some extent, even help clarify its current approach.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Roger Owen Sreemati Mitter A History of Money in Palestine: From the 1900s to the Present Abstract How does the condition of statelessness, which is usually thought of as a political problem, affect the economic and monetary lives of ordinary people? This dissertation addresses this question by examining the economic behavior of a stateless people, the Palestinians, over a hundred year period, from the last decades of Ottoman rule in the early 1900s to the present. Through this historical narrative, it investigates what happened to the financial and economic assets of ordinary Palestinians when they were either rendered stateless overnight (as happened in 1948) or when they suffered a gradual loss of sovereignty and control over their economic lives (as happened between the early 1900s to the 1930s, or again between 1967 and the present).

  • Loyal to Israel: Transnational Solidarity with the Israeli- Palestinian Conflict
    LOYAL TO ISRAEL: TRANSNATIONAL SOLIDARITY WITH THE ISRAELI- PALESTINIAN CONFLICT A STUDY OF LOYALIST TRANSNATIONAL SOLIDARITY WITH ISRAEL 1 Loyal to Israel: Transnational solidarity with the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Thesis MA Modern Middle East Studies Leiden University Andrew Graham Robertson Page Student number: 1963023 15 January 2018 Supervisor: Dr. Noa Schonmann Words: 21,676 Cover Photo: Adrian McKinty, “Israeli flags in Belfast”, Adrian McKinty Blogspot, accessed January 14, 2018, http://adrianmckinty.blogspot.nl/2015/04/the-israeli-flags-in-belfast.html. Abstract: The Ulster Loyalist community of Northern Ireland have long regarded themselves as a people besieged by Irish Republican ideology. While lacking international support, the Loyalists have formed a geographically and culturally unusual bond with the State of Israel. Loyalist support for Israel increased visibly during the 2002 Intifada and Loyalists continue to make declarations of support for Israel. Yet, the governing Likud Party in recent years has commemorated Zionist insurgents, who committed acts of terror against the British administration in the 1940s. The Israeli government’s actions have led to criticism from the Her Majesty’s British government, which the Loyalist community aims to stand alongside, to maintain the Union and prevent the triumph of Irish Republicanism. Despite British public support for Israel declining during the past few decades, Ulster Loyalist support for the Jewish State is believed to be one of the strongest in Europe. 2 Contents Page

  • British Perceptions of Turkey and Turks in the Mid-Twentieth Century
    British Perceptions of Turkey and Turks in the Mid-Twentieth Century Behçet Kemal YEŞİLBURSA* Abstract A permanent British embassy has been present in Constantinople (İstanbul) since 1583, and William Harborne, a merchant and former member of parliament, was appointed as Britain’s first ambassador. The main British interest in developing diplomatic relations with Turkey at this time was to promote trade, but even during Harborne’s time, political interest in British friendship with Turkey had also gained importance. Between 1583 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, Britain’s permanent diplomatic presence in Turkey was unbroken. Diplomatic relations between the two countries were severed for ten years between 1914 and 1924. Following the establishment of the republic in 1923, friendly diplomatic relationships between the two countries began to develop. This article presents the observations of three British Ambassadors to Turkey, Sir James Bowker, Sir Alexander Knox Helm and Sir Roderick Sarell, on the characteristics of the Turks and the situation in Turkey. A major theme of the article is British diplomats’ perceptions of Turkish politics, diplomacy and society, particularly in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, an era of fundamental and lasting changes for Turkey, as it was for Britain. The article touches specifically upon the British embassy’s evaluations of the Democrat Party governments of the 1950s, and the military regime that succeeded them in 1960. Key words: Sir James Bowker, Sir Alexander Knox Helm, Sir Roderick Sarell, Turkey, Britain 1. Sir Alexander Knox Helm’s Observations on Turkey and the Turks Sir Alexander Knox Helm, (23 March 1893 – 7 March 1964) served as British ambassador to Turkey (1951-1954), and was the last Governor-General of the Sudan.

  • Turkey and the Marshall Plan: Strive for Aid*
    TURKEY AND THE MARSHALL PLAN: STRIVE FOR AID* SENEM ÜSTÜN Marshall Aid, offered to European contries in June 1947, was rootcd in American interests to revive the European economy as a strong trading partner, and to strengthen Europe politicaııy against further Soviet expansion westward. Turkey's inclusion under the Marshaıı Aid programme and subsequentIy her partidpation in the European Recovery Programme (ERP) raises questions concerning her eligibility for aid, and her role and achievements under the ERP. In order to find an answer to the above, it is first necessary to look into Turkey's political and economic situation during the Second World War, and in its immediate aftermath, as well as her relations with the United States during this period. Turkish foreign policy from the creation of the Republic in 1923, up until the end of the Second World War, aimed to preserve friendly relations with the Soviet Union, to restore normal relations with France and Great Britain (which culminated in a defensive aııiance with the United Kingdom and France in 1939) and to resume friendly relations with Germany.1 Diplomatic and economic relations betwecn the United States and Turkey were negligible throughout this period.

    “A CORRECT AND PROGRESSIVE ROAD”: U.S.-TURKISH RELATIONS, 1945-1964 Michael M. Carver A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2011 Committee: Dr. Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor Dr. Gary R. Hess Dr. Marc V. Simon, Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Tiffany Trimmer 1 2011 Michael M. Carver All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT 2 Dr. Douglas Forsyth, Advisor This historical investigation of U.S.-Turkish relations from the end of World War II to 1964 provides a greater understanding of the challenges inherent in the formation and implementation of U.S. policy in Turkey at a time when the Turks embarked on multiparty politics and a determined campaign to become a modern and distinctly European nation through ambitious economic development programs. Washington proved instrumental in this endeavor, providing financial support through the Marshall Plan and subsequent aid programs, and political sponsorship of Turkey’s membership in international organizations such as NATO and the EEC. U.S. policymakers encountered various quandaries as they forged bilateral relations with the Turks, specifically reconciling democratization with Turkey’s development and participation in the containment of communism. The Turkish government under Adnan Menderes demonstrated its reliability as a U.S. ally, providing troops to fight in the Korean War and cooperating in the construction of NATO bases and the modernization of its military, but it came under increasing pressure from the political opposition when its economic policies failed to secure long-term economic growth and stability. Starting in the mid-1950s the Menderes government adopted increasingly authoritarian measures to control dissent, a problematic situation for Washington, as it desired greater Turkish democracy while at them same time did not wish to compromise the growing American military presence in Turkey.
