  • Money Talks a Realist Constructivist Account of the Motives of 21St Century Plutocrats
    Graduate School Master of Science in Global Studies Major: Political Science Course: SIMV07 Term: Spring 2017 Supervisor: Alexander von Hagen-Jamar Money Talks A Realist Constructivist Account of the Motives of 21st Century Plutocrats Author: Pauliina Parviainen Abstract Plutocracy is a subject that has not traditionally attracted the interest of scholars in the disciplines of International Relations and Political Science. This is unfortunate, as the number and importance of affluent private individuals in global affairs has steadily increased in recent decades. Since most existing academic research on contemporary plutocrats focuses on philanthropists and other ‘benefactors’, this research examines what drives the behaviour of the so-called ‘malefactors’ – in this case, enormously wealthy citizens from the Persian Gulf who fund Islamist extremism and the Koch brothers who fight against climate change mitigation efforts and U.S. government regulations. The research is guided by a realist constructivist hypothesis according to which plutocrats use their material assets to advance ideological causes that in the long run further increase their economic wealth. Qualitative content analysis was performed on select texts that dealt with these actors’ presumable and stated motives. The analysis of the Koch brothers suggested that the logic behind their political adventures closely followed this hypothesis. However, the case of Gulf plutocrats only partially confirmed the hypothesis, as ideological and identity-related reasons prevailed over material considerations in these actors’ motives. Keywords: First Image, Koch, Plutocrat, Realist Constructivism, Terrorism Financing Words: 19 952 Contents: 1. Introduction 1 1.1 Research problem and research question 2 1.2 Structure of the thesis 4 2.

  • Billionaires Tea Party
    1 THE BILLIONAIRES’ TEA PARTY How Corporate America is Faking a Grassroots Revolution [transcript] Barack Obama: This is our moment. This is our time. To reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that where we are many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope; and where we are met with cynicism and doubt and those who tell us we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes we can. Man on Stage: They’re listening to us. They are taking us seriously, and the message is: It’s our county, and they can have it when they pry it from our cold dead fingers. They work for me! NARRATOR: Where did it all go wrong for Barack Obama and the democrats? After sweeping to power with a promise of hope and change, a citizens uprising called the tea party movement emerged. Their message was “no” to big government spending, “no” to healthcare and climate change legislation, and “no” to Obama himself. Woman: Obama is a communist. He says that he doesn't believe in the constitution. NARRATOR: Then, two years into Obama’s presidency, tea party endorsed candidates emerged to sweep the republicans to victory in the House of Representatives. Male News Reader: 32% of the candidates that were elected last night across this country are affiliated with the Tea Party movement. Rand Paul: There's a Tea Party tidal wave, and we're sending a message to 'em. Female Reporter: And they see it as a repudiation of the President and his policies.

  • 10 the Fog of Freedom
    10 The Fog of Freedom Christopher M. Kelty Talk of freedom and liberty pervade the past and present of the digital com- puter and the Internet, from everyday “academic freedom” to the more specific notion of a “freedom to tinker”; from the prestigious Computers, Freedom and Privacy conference to “net neutrality”; from “Internet Free- dom” in North Africa and the Middle East and the Occupy movement in the United States to the famous case of Free Software, which has articulated precise freedoms as well as a legally constituted commons in reusable tech- nologies; from the “FreedomBox” to the Freedom Fone to “Liberté Linux (see figure 10.1).1 What kind of talk is this? Idle chatter? A rhetorical flourish? Serious busi- ness? Or perhaps it is more than talk? Freedom is associated with the digi- tal computer and the Internet to a greater extent than it is to most other technologies. And the digital computer and the Internet are associated with freedom much more than with other ideals, like justice, well-being, health, or happiness. Further, arguments are made just as often that digital com- puters and the Internet restrict rather than enhance freedom, leading to a morass of claims about the powers—good and evil—of these new technolo- gies that drape the globe and permeate our consciousness. There are many ways to dismiss this association as ideology or marketing hype, but there are fewer ways to take it seriously.
