We begin by thanking the two foundations instrumental in the development of the First-Year Intercultural Experience initiative. The Chaiyong Limthongkul Founda­ tion of Bangkok, Thailand provided the initial funding that enabled Hartwick College to establish the Sondhi Limthongkul Center for Interdependence and to send five groups of first-year students to Thailand. The Henry Luce Foundation of New York City provided Hartwick with a $150,000 grant that supported faculty development, site development, and student participation in six additional First-Year Intercultural Experience courses. In total, more than 200 students, 21 faculty, and three staff members benefited education­ ally from the generosity of the two foundations. Former Hartwick trustee Roy Rowan has our appreciation for introducing both foundations to the College. We would never have been able to implement the off-campus components of the various courses without the generous assistance of institutions in each of the countries that served as First-Year Intercultural Experience venues. We wish to thank Chiang Mai University, the Rajabhat InstitutelKorat, the Rajabhat Institute!Lopburi, and the Hill Area Development Foundation in Thailand; the University of Chiapas, Na Bolom, Investigaci6n y Desarrollo Feminino (IDEFEM), EI Colegio de la Frontera Sur Frontera (ECOSUR), and Taller Lisbon Max in Mexico; Hochschule fur Technik und Wirtschaft Mittweida (FH) in Germany; the Ecole St.-Barthelemy and the University of Nice in France; Franklin College of Switzerland; the University of Witwatersrand and the University of Cape Town in South Africa; the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, in Jamaica; and Szazadveg Politikai Iskola (Policy Research Center) in Eger, Hungary i Learning Interdependence The specific focus of the book-the course entitled Europe in Transition-owes more than we can ever adequately acknowledge to former Rektor Reinhardt Schmidt, Ingrid Doberenz, and the staff, faculty, and students of Hochschule fur Technik und Wirtschaft Mittweida; Nathalie Manghini and Jeanine Manghini, in Nice; and Tim Keating, former Dean of Franklin College of Switzerland. Three prominent intercultural educators were kind to review an early draft of the manuscript and recommend changes that can only be said to have strengthened the final product beyond anything we would have been able to accomplish on our own. For their expertise and candor, we are indebted to R. Michael Paige of the University of Minnesota, Gary Weaver of American University, and Richard A. Detweiler of Hartwick College. We hasten to emphasize that any omissions and errors of either fact or judgment are our responsibility alone. For their substantive and editorial expertise, we wish to thank Jean Henscheid, Tracy Skipper and their associates at the University of South Carolina's National Re­ source Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition. We also thank Elizabeth Thomas of the National Resource Center for her work in designing the book. At Hartwick, in addition to Rick Detweiler we wish to convey our appreciation to: Susan Gotsch, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty, for always showing the enthusiasm and support for faculty that inspire efforts of this kind; Ellen Falduto, Chief Information and Planning Officer, for her responsiveness to our data re­ trieval and analysis needs and valuable advice on the evaluative aspects of the project; Michael A. MacDowell, formerly Hartwick's Vice President for Institutional Advance­ ment and now President of College Misericordia, for his unstinting efforts to find fund­ ing for the First-Year Intercultural Experience initiative; Shelley Wallace, College Archi­ vist, for kindly reviewing the sections of the manuscript pertaining to Hartwick's history; Julie Weiss, Office Coordinator in Hartwick's Center for Interdependence, for her help in preparing parts of the manuscript; and the Reference Department of the Stevens-German Library. The reference departments at Syracuse University Library, Mount Holyoke Col­ lege Library and the Lockwood Memorial Library of the University at Buffalo have our gratitude for providing bibliographical assistance. We conclude these acknowledgments by extending our most profound thanks and respect to those who have been most intimately associated with this project: To our faculty and staff colleagues, whose dedication and skill and care for one another served to make this effort one of the most significant learning experiences of our three lives-Connie Anderson, Tammy Babcock, Nadine Carvin, Sharon Dettenrieder, Terry Fitz-Henry, Gary Herion, Sandy Huntington, David Hutchison, Kate O'Donnell, Michael Stone, and Mireille Vandenheuvel.

  • Thailand White Paper
    THE BANGKOK MASSACRES: A CALL FOR ACCOUNTABILITY ―A White Paper by Amsterdam & Peroff LLP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For four years, the people of Thailand have been the victims of a systematic and unrelenting assault on their most fundamental right — the right to self-determination through genuine elections based on the will of the people. The assault against democracy was launched with the planning and execution of a military coup d’état in 2006. In collaboration with members of the Privy Council, Thai military generals overthrew the popularly elected, democratic government of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, whose Thai Rak Thai party had won three consecutive national elections in 2001, 2005 and 2006. The 2006 military coup marked the beginning of an attempt to restore the hegemony of Thailand’s old moneyed elites, military generals, high-ranking civil servants, and royal advisors (the “Establishment”) through the annihilation of an electoral force that had come to present a major, historical challenge to their power. The regime put in place by the coup hijacked the institutions of government, dissolved Thai Rak Thai and banned its leaders from political participation for five years. When the successor to Thai Rak Thai managed to win the next national election in late 2007, an ad hoc court consisting of judges hand-picked by the coup-makers dissolved that party as well, allowing Abhisit Vejjajiva’s rise to the Prime Minister’s office. Abhisit’s administration, however, has since been forced to impose an array of repressive measures to maintain its illegitimate grip and quash the democratic movement that sprung up as a reaction to the 2006 military coup as well as the 2008 “judicial coups.” Among other things, the government blocked some 50,000 web sites, shut down the opposition’s satellite television station, and incarcerated a record number of people under Thailand’s infamous lèse-majesté legislation and the equally draconian Computer Crimes Act.

But the [Thai] Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister look down on Cambodia extremely” He added: “Cambodia will have no happiness as long as this group [PAD] is in power.” - Cambodian PM Hun Sen Both sides of the border were digging in their heels; neither leader wanted to lose face as doing so could have led to a dip in political support at home.i Two of the most common drivers of interstate conflict are territorial disputes and the politicization of deep-seated ideological ideals such as religion. Both sources of tension have contributed to the emergence of bloody conflicts throughout history and across different regions of the world. Therefore, it stands to reason, that when a specific geographic area is bestowed religious significance, then conflict is particularly likely. This case study details the territorial dispute between Thailand and Cambodia over Prasat (meaning ‘temple’ in Khmer) Preah Vihear or Preah Vihear Temple, located on the border between the two countries. The case of the Preah Vihear Temple conflict offers broader lessons on the social forces that make religiously significant territorial disputes so prescient and how national governments use such conflicts to further their own political agendas.

  • Les Musées D'ethnologie: Culture, Politique Et Changement
    Les musées d’ethnologie: culture, politique et changement institutionnel. Camille Mazé, Frédéric Poulard, and Christelle Ventura, eds. Paris: Éditions du Comité des travaux historiques et scientifiques, 2013. 288 pp.* Reviewed by Sally Price There’s a word missing from the title of this book, which is completely devoted to French “museums of ethnology.” Readers looking for an assessment of the history or current state of ethnographic museums may be disappointed by this narrow focus, in which no more than an occasional tip of the hat is given to museological developments outside of France or literature about them. Readers looking for reflections on French culture and politics will, on the other hand, find a great deal of interest. This is a book about France—its politics, its ideologies, its social hierarchies, its cultural self-image, and the structure of its academic disciplines—all through the lens of museological history. (No attention is given to museums in France’s overseas departments; that’s a study waiting to be tackled by future researchers.) Recent work on particular museums by young Ph.D.s accounts for most (not all) of the essays. The 20-page introduction (authored by the three editors, only two of whom contribute subsequent chapters) weaves in an out of the themes addressed in the rest of the book, many of which concern the “crisis” in French ethnographic museums of recent decades. Historical events in the nation at large (wars, demographic shifts, industrialization), the role of political power, and the relationship between Paris and the rest of the country are central.

  • S. Price Patchwork History : Tracing Artworlds in the African Diaspora Essay on Interpretations of Visual Art in Societies of the African Diaspora
    S. Price Patchwork history : tracing artworlds in the African diaspora Essay on interpretations of visual art in societies of the African diaspora. Author relates this to recent shifts in anthropology and art history/criticism toward an increasing combining of art and anthropology and integration of art with social and cultural developments, and the impact of these shifts on Afro-American studies. To exemplify this, she focuses on clothing (among Maroons in the Guianas), quilts, and gallery art. She emphasizes the role of developments in America in these fabrics, apart from just the African origins. In: New West Indian Guide/ Nieuwe West-Indische Gids 75 (2001), no: 1/2, Leiden, 5-34 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl SALLY PRICE PATCHWORK HISTORY: TRACING ARTWORLDS IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA This paper considers interpretations of visual art in societies of the African diaspora, setting them within the context of recent theoretical shifts in the dis- ciplines of anthropology and art history/criticism. I will be arguing for the relevance to Afro-American studies of these broader disciplinary changes, which have fundamentally reoriented scholarship on arts that, for the most part, fall outside of what Joseph Alsop (1982) has dubbed "The Great Tradi- tions." Toward that end, I begin with a general assessment of these theoretical shifts (Part 1: Anthropology and Art History Shake Hands) before moving into an exploration of their impact on Afro-American studies (Part 2: Mapping the African-American Artworld).

    Saramaka Maroons on the Brazilian Frontier Richard Price College of William and Mary, Virginia, USA, and Anse Chaudière, Martinique Maroons in the Americas have always been champions at seizing the moment, whether in battles against their colonial enemies or in carving out imaginative economic niches in more recent times. This essay focuses on Maroon men from central Suriname who, in the second half of the nineteenth century, migrated to French Guiana where they monopolized the river transport system that supplied thousands of non-Maroon goldminers in that colony and, in the process, created a new of way of life for themselves and their descendants. The Oyapok region of French Guiana, which borders the Brazilian state of Amapá, might best be considered the distant frontier of a distant frontier B many thousands of kilometers from the metropolitan political center of Paris, many hundreds through the forest from the colonial capital of Cayenne, and, from the perspective of the Saramaka Maroons of central Suriname, at the farthest edge of the known geographical universe. In 1900, the mayor of the Commune de l=Oyapok gave the total population as 304.

  • The Political Role of Business Magnates in Competitive Authoritarian Regimes
    Jahrbuch für Wirtschaftsgeschichte 2019; 60(2): 299–334 Heiko Pleines The Political Role of Business Magnates in Competitive Authoritarian Regimes. A Comparative Analysis https://doi.org/10.1515/jbwg-2019-3001 Abstract: This contribution examines the role of business magnates (“oli- garchs”) in political transitions away from competitive authoritarianism and towards either full authoritarianism or democracy. Based on 65 cases of compet- itive authoritarian regimes named in the academic literature, 24 historical cases with politically active business magnates are identified for further investigation. The analysis shows that in about half of those cases business magnates do not have a distinct impact on political regime change, as they are tightly integrated into the ruling elites. If they do have an impact, they hamper democratization at an early stage, making a transition to full democracy a rare exception. At the same time, a backlash led by the ruling elites against manipulation through business magnates makes a transition to full autocracy more likely than in competitive authoritarian regimes without influential business magnates.

While it is obvious that they influence specific policies, their impact on political regime change is less clear.

It is a qualitative research done by means of documents analysis and in-depth interview methods. The research results are as follows: There are several aspects in terms of the meanings of the Guy Fawkes masks and whistles used in Thailand’s political movements, such as Thaksinocracy (or Thaksin regime) and Yingluck government, politics/governance, monarchy, definition of protesters and their movements, emotions, concept and methods of movements, needs and goals There are also several roles of the Guy Fawkes mask, for example; it’s used for concealing the identities of participants, reflecting the current situations, representing ideas and political ideology, icons of the destruction of political ideology, universality, methods and tools for a movement. About the reconstruction of the meanings, it is found that the ways Guy Fawkes masks are used in Thailand’s political movements, not only do they kept the original meaning but also they adjusted to a different meaning and sometimes create a new meaning.
