  • The Puzzle of International Decision-Making an Integrated Comparative Study on Intervention
    Södertörns Högskola Filip Holm Internationella Relationer C 2014 C-Uppsats, 15 poäng The puzzle of international decision-making An integrated comparative study on intervention By Filip Holm Map of the Sudan region (Enough Project [image] <http://www.enoughproject.org/conflicts/sudans> Accessed September 1, 2014) Map of Libya (GeographyIQ [image] http://www.geographyiq.com/countries/ly/Libya_map_flag_geography.htm Accessed December 1, 2014) Abstract “The puzzle of international decision-making” An integrated comparative study on intervention This is a study that aims to look at the violence occurring in Sudan and Libya in 2011. It asks the question why there was an intervention in the latter case but not the former. The analysis will use an integrated theoretical framework, looking at national interests, power balance and international norms to explain the behavior and decision-making of states in these particular cases. The fact that so little has been done or said about the conflict in Sudan is troubling, and deserves an explanation, especially considering the very different reaction to similar situations like Libya at the time. This study uses a comparative method to map the differences and similarities between the two cases using both statistical numbers and facts, as well as a content analysis to examine the discourse and media coverage on the two conflicts. The analysis may seem very broad and complex, but the same can be said about world politics in general. It is a very complex thing, and sometimes a complex explanation is required. Very rarely is there just one answer to a question like this, but many different perspectives that are often equally legitimate and important to consider.

The shofar has always been considered a magical instrument associated with the revelation of God’s voice at Mount Sinai. Later, Joshua brought down the walls of Jericho with shofar blasts – in the ancient world, sound was known to influence matter. The shofar is the oldest surviving instrument still used in Jewish ritual. Its sound, shape, and symbolism are integral to the High Holiday Season. This lecture-demonstration exhibits a variety of shofar types and discusses their origins from animal to instrument through visual aids. It demonstrates the traditional shofar blast and deals with historical and symbolical issues aroused by it strident sonority. It concludes with a DVD presentation of the shofar as an artistic instrument, integrated into a contemporary biblical work by the author. 1100: Tea Break 1130 : Malcolm Miller: The music of the Shofar: ancient symbols, modern meanings.

  • Rehabilitating Assad: the Arab League Embraces a Pariah by David Schenker
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 3481 Rehabilitating Assad: The Arab League Embraces a Pariah by David Schenker May 4, 2021 Also available in Arabic ABOUT THE AUTHORS David Schenker David Schenker is the Taube Senior Fellow at The Washington Institute and former Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs. Brief Analysis Parochial interests and war fatigue are driving many member states to support premature elections and normalization with Damascus, but this approach will only consolidate Assad’s control and help him evade accountability for war crimes. n recent weeks, momentum has been building toward reintegrating Syria into the Arab League. The country was I suspended from the organization in November 2011, eight months into a brutal regime suppression effort that had killed 5,000 civilians. Ten years on and with an estimated 500,000 dead, several Arab states—encouraged by Russia—are taking steps to end the decade-long isolation of Bashar al-Assad and restore Syria’s membership. Although the Arab League is an archaic, dysfunctional, and largely irrelevant organization, the move is nevertheless significant for what it signals: a greater regional willingness to engage with Assad politically and economically. Consistent with UN Security Council Resolution 2254 (2015), U.S. policy has premised any such reengagement on a valid political transition, but regional states may undermine the prospects for real change by welcoming Damascus back into the fold prematurely. Increased Arab Engagement U pon suspending Syria for refusing to implement the Arab League peace plan in 2011, the organization levied a series of sanctions that included travel bans on some senior regime officials and limitations on investments and dealings with the Central Bank of Syria.

Quelle valeur et quelle signification donnent-ils à leur pratique ? Dans quel cadre s'inscrit-elle pour eux ? Et encore, quels discours font ceux qui, dans une culture donnée, réfléchissent au pourquoi et au comment de la création artistique : théoriciens, philosophes, esthètes, poètes ?... Quelles sont les dimensions cognitives et extramusicales de la musique ? En un mot, comment les musiciens pensent-ils la musique ? Tel est le thème de ce dossier, qui nous offre un état de la question à travers une série d'études de cas représentatifs de régions aussi différentes que le désert de Namibie, le Tchad, le Maroc, le Pays basque, la Bretagne, la Sardaigne, la Silésie, l'Afghanistan, le Tibet, la Chine et l'Australie. Fondés à Genève en 1988 dans le cadre des Ateliers d'ethnomusicologie, les Cahiers de musiques traditionnelles proposent à leurs lecteurs une publication annuelle. Chaque ouvrage est centré sur un dossier thématique, complété par des rubriques d'intérêt général : entretiens, portraits et comptes rendus.
