The Emir contacted via satel- lite the coalition forces at Khamis Mushait military base. He praised their efforts and encouraged them to press ahead towards realising the security and stabil- ity of Yemen and to protect the security of Saudi Arabia and the entire region, Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported yesterday.

  • The Cultural Formation of Mass Incarceration
    The Biography of an Institution: The Cultural Formation of Mass Incarceration Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nicole Barnaby, B. A. Graduate Program in African American and African Studies The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Devin Fergus, Advisor Denise Noble Lynn Itagaki Copyright by Nicole Barnaby 2016 Abstract It may be hard for some to justify how the United States imprisons over two million people when it is hailed ‘the land of the free,’ but this thesis argues that there are very real social, economic and political drivers behind this growing trend having nothing to do with crime. While mass incarceration has its roots in other older forms of racialized social control, it exists in its current form due to an array of cultural conditions which foster its existence. Utilizing the cultural studies tool known as the circuit of culture, this thesis aims to provide a holistic understanding of the articulation of social factors contributing to the existence of mass incarceration. In order to do this, mass incarceration is assessed with the use of the 5 processes of the circuit of culture (production, regulation, representation, consumption and identity) and a specific look at its relation to the Black community over time is considered. ii Vita 2012…………………………B.

  • The Role of the EU in the Israel\Palestine Conflict
    Working Papers Series in EU Border Conflicts Studies The Role of the EU in the Israel\Palestine Conflict DRAFT David Newman and Haim Yacobi Department of Politics and Government Ben Gurion University, Beer Sheva, Israel No. 12 2004 A. Introduction The aim of this working paper is to analyse whether, and under what conditions, the EU’s involvement in the Israel / Palestine (IP) arena has had any direct impact on the process of conflict resolution. The paper examines the different pathways, namely compulsory impact, enabling impact, connective impact and constructive impact that the EU have applied in relation to the Israel\Palestine conflict (Diez, Stetter & Albert, 2003). The analysis is based on a study of Israeli, Palestinian and European interviews, media coverage and documents. Additionally, we will point to the impact of these pathways and their effect on the development of the conflict, changes in conflict intensity over time, and the wider regional conditions within which change is taking place. Based on Working Paper 1 (Newman and Yacobi, 2004) we will present the development of EU role and patterns of intervention, coupled with an analysis of the costs and benefits of this intervention, especially as they are perceived by the actors themselves in terms of the potential role of the EU as a third party who can play the role of 'honest broker' in the conflict resolution process. In this context we argue that Europe’s role in general, and that of the EU in particular, is of major significance. However, despite the long historical relationship between Europe and Israel/Palestine, and despite the substantial economic involvement in both Israel (in terms of trade and cultural relations) and the Palestinian Authority (in terms of major financial assistance and aid packages) both actors perceive the EU's role as limited in the process of conflict resolution.

However, there has been no official comment on the rumours about the resignation, which if true would mean scrapping the grilling filed two weeks ago by three MPs over alleged violations, especially the payment of the $2.2 billion penalty to US’ Dow Chemical. Hussein submitted his resignation to the prime minister along with all Cabinet members two weeks ago after MPs surprised everyone by filing two requests to grill the ministers. In the meantime, Hussein carried out one of the biggest reshuffle in the oil sector, replacing the chief exec- utive officers of all the eight companies under Kuwait Petroleum Corp. The shakeup also included replacing the chief execu- tive officer of KPC Farouq Al-Zanki, who was replaced by Nezar Al- Adasani. A number of MPs swiftly welcomed the reported resignation but no one confirmed the report. MP Abdullah Al- Tameemi said the accept- Hani Hussein ance of the resignation of the oil minister was “long over- due” but called for following the issue on the payment of Dow penalty in court.
