    New and Improved Map Study Guide

    Modern African Countries A Simplified Guide with Historical Information Nancy J. Jacobs, Brown University Do you commonly confuse Liberia and Libya, even in the daytime? When called upon to discuss Zaire, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, do you hem and haw? Are you guilty of gaffes regarding Malawi and Mali, Mauritania and Mauritius? Does mention of Gabon and Gambia prompt apologies on your part? If so, a “Modern African Countries: A Simplified Guide with Historical Information” is for you! In fact, if you are enrolled in an African history course, it will not just save you from cartographic embarrassment, it may just save your grade! The following list of contemporary territories gives names as of 2012, dates of independence, names changed since independence, a selective list of colonial names, and colonial rulers since the late nineteenth century. It does not list names of all territories that were amalgamated in the early decades of colonial rule. Colonies that were part of the federations of French West Africa and French Equatorial Africa are marked (FWA) or (FEA). A slash under “Date of Independence” denotes that the process of independence from European empires was not accomplished in a single watershed event. A slash in other columns denotes successive names or rulers, while an ampersand conveys that separate colonies of different rulers were amalgamated around the time of independence. Cu Current Name Indepen- Other Names since Former Colonial Name Colonial Rulers dence Independence 1. Morocco, including 1956 Spanish Sahara was Western France & Spain Western Sahara Sahara only 2.

    Re-Conceptualizing Orders in the Mena Region the Analytical Framework of the Menara Project

    No. 1, November 2016 METHODOLOGY AND CONCEPT PAPERS RE-CONCEPTUALIZING ORDERS IN THE MENA REGION THE ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE MENARA PROJECT Edited by Eduard Soler i Lecha (coordinator), Silvia Colombo, Lorenzo Kamel and Jordi Quero This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under grant agreement No 693244 Middle East and North Africa Regional Architecture: Mapping Geopolitical Shifts, Regional Order and Domestic Transformations METHODOLOGY AND CONCEPT PAPERS No. 1, November 2016 RE-CONCEPTUALIZING ORDERS IN THE MENA REGION THE ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE MENARA PROJECT Edited by Eduard Soler i Lecha (coordinator), Silvia Colombo, Lorenzo Kamel and Jordi Quero ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to set the conceptual architecture for the MENARA Project. It is articulated in five thematic sections. The first one traces back the major historical junctures in which key powers shaped the defining features of the present-day MENA region. Section 2 sets the geographical scope of the project, maps the distribution of power and defines regional order and its main features. Section 3 focuses on the domestic orders in a changing region by gauging and tracing the evolution of four trends, namely the erosion of state capacity; the securitization of regime policies; the militarization of contention; and the pluralization of collective identities. Section 4 links developments in the global order to their impact on the region in terms of power, ideas, norms and identities. The last section focuses on foresight studies and proposes a methodology to project trends and build scenarios. All sections, as well as the conclusion, formulate specific research questions that should help us understand the emerging geopolitical order in the MENA.
  • Uti Possidetis Juris, and the Borders of Israel

    Uti Possidetis Juris, and the Borders of Israel

    PALESTINE, UTI POSSIDETIS JURIS, AND THE BORDERS OF ISRAEL Abraham Bell* & Eugene Kontorovich** Israel’s borders and territorial scope are a source of seemingly endless debate. Remarkably, despite the intensity of the debates, little attention has been paid to the relevance of the doctrine of uti possidetis juris to resolving legal aspects of the border dispute. Uti possidetis juris is widely acknowledged as the doctrine of customary international law that is central to determining territorial sovereignty in the era of decolonization. The doctrine provides that emerging states presumptively inherit their pre-independence administrative boundaries. Applied to the case of Israel, uti possidetis juris would dictate that Israel inherit the boundaries of the Mandate of Palestine as they existed in May, 1948. The doctrine would thus support Israeli claims to any or all of the currently hotly disputed areas of Jerusalem (including East Jerusalem), the West Bank, and even potentially the Gaza Strip (though not the Golan Heights).

    Benedict XV's Diplomacy in Greater Syria (S

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Facing the Emergence of the Modern Middle East: Benedict XV’s Diplomacy in Greater Syria (Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine) 1914-1922 A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Agnes Aupepin de Lamothe-Dreuzy Washington, D.C. 2012 Facing the Emergence of the Modern Middle East: Benedict XV’s Diplomacy in Greater Syria (Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine) 1914-1922 Agnes Aupepin de Lamothe-Dreuzy, Ph.D. Director: Jacques M. Gres-Gayer, STD, Ph.D. Pope Benedict XV’s pontificate (1914-1922), misunderstood by his contemporaries and neglected by recent scholarship, coincides with the reshaping of the Middle East, from the beginning of World War One to the assignment of Mandates to France and Britain over Syria and Palestine. This study examines Benedict XV’s diplomacy in Greater Syria. Its unique aspect resides in the combination of two approaches. Benedict’s main priority was to ensure the survival of Christians in the Middle East, providing them with a dynamic ecclesiological structure. The pontiff completed and institutionalized the traditional ecclesiological approach in favor of unionism, with the goal to strengthen the ecclesial structures of the Eastern churches and equip them with solid legal foundations. This ecclesiological approach was integrated in Benedict XV’s global geo-political vision that shifted away from its past Eurocentric vision and was combined with an anticipation of the decolonization era. Benedict completed these guiding principles with a policy of emancipation of the missionary world from the bondage of colonial powers, preparing the Church for an active role in the world.

The other was the list of ones you missed. It was the deleted list. Investigating the deleted DXCC countries has given me a fascinating insight into world history and geography. What follows is a look at a few of these areas of the world that underwent changes after World War Two.
