  • Conceptualizing the Blue Frontier: the Great Qing and the Maritime World
    Conceptualizing the Blue Frontier: The Great Qing and the Maritime World in the Long Eighteenth Century Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultüt der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg Vorgelegt von Chung-yam PO Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Harald Fuess Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Joachim Kurtz Datum: 28 June 2013 Table of Contents Abstract 2 Acknowledgments 3 Emperors of the Qing Dynasty 5 Map of China Coast 6 Introduction 7 Chapter 1 Setting the Scene 43 Chapter 2 Modeling the Sea Space 62 Chapter 3 The Dragon Navy 109 Chapter 4 Maritime Customs Office 160 Chapter 5 Writing the Waves 210 Conclusion 247 Glossary 255 Bibliography 257 1 Abstract Most previous scholarship has asserted that the Qing Empire neglected the sea and underestimated the worldwide rise of Western powers in the long eighteenth century. By the time the British crushed the Chinese navy in the so-called Opium Wars, the country and its government were in a state of shock and incapable of quickly catching-up with Western Europe. In contrast with such a narrative, this dissertation shows that the Great Qing was in fact far more aware of global trends than has been commonly assumed. Against the backdrop of the long eighteenth century, the author explores the fundamental historical notions of the Chinese maritime world as a conceptual divide between an inner and an outer sea, whereby administrators, merchants, and intellectuals paid close and intense attention to coastal seawaters. Drawing on archival sources from China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and the West, the author argues that the connection between the Great Qing and the maritime world was complex and sophisticated.

The total damage (in the USA and Caribbean) is in excess of 100 billion US$ with estimates ranging between 78 and 97 billion US$ for direct damage and over 10 to 16 billion US$ for indirect damage due to business interruption (M. Kunz et al., 2013). Modelling impact (e.g. damage, fatalities) in the coastal zone due to hazardous storm events is a hardly explored practice. It is difficult to predict damage correctly where damage observations are scarce and the physical processes causing the damage are complex, diverse and can differ from site to site and event to event.

  • Prosecuting Hissene Habre: Establishing a Factual Background of the Rise, Rule and Fall of Hissene Habre
    PROSECUTING HISSENE HABRE: ESTABLISHING A FACTUAL BACKGROUND OF THE RISE, RULE AND FALL OF HISSENE HABRE Bridget Rhinehart* Nearly 25 years after the fall of Hissène Habré and his regime, the fear, oppression and widespread violations of human rights endured by Chadians from 1982 to 1990 may now come to light. This paper contextualizes the judicial proceedings against Hissène Habré through the pre- and post-colonial landscape that shaped to Habré’s rise to power and by establishing a relevant factual background of the events that took place and alleged crimes committed from 1982 to 1990 under the Hissène Habré regime. 1. Chad – a Country Overview Chad is a landlocked central African nation home to just over 11 million people.1 The capital of Chad, N’Djamena, is located in Central to Southwest Chad and is home to more than one million people, leaving the remainder of Chad largely rural.2 The official * Program Manager in humanitarian response at Save the Children USA, Washington, D.C.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.
