Blackcumnavigation Sea STANFORD TRAVEL/STUDY STANFORD TRAVEL/STUDY CIRBlackCUMNAVIGATION Sea A VOYAGE FROM PAST TO PRESENT May 27 to June 9, 2014 a program of the stanford alumni association STANFORD TRAVEL/STUDY Every summer, Turks, Georgians, Russians, Ukrainians and Bulgarians flock to the sunny shores of the Black Sea to frolic in its deep-blue waters, belying the image of darkness and turbulence many Westerners have of this region. Yet, as the Black Sea grows as a popular tourist destination, it’s true that the lands surrounding this major crossroad of the ancient world have indeed seen their share of strife— during the Crimean War and World Wars I and II, as well as more recently during the dispute over Abkhazia. As we circumnavigate this historic body of water, Professor Gail Lapidus will put into context for us this complex region and the vastly different countries and cultures that have coexisted around its shores for millennia.

  • Mare Nostrum Strategy: Russian Military Activity in the Black Sea
    SPECIAL REPORT 03/21/2019 MARE NOSTRUM STRATEGY: RUSSIAN MILITARY ACTIVITY IN THE BLACK SEA Warsaw Institute MARE NOSTRUM STRATEGY: RUSSIAN MILITARY ACTIVITY IN THE BLACK SEA SOURCE: MIL.RU l Owing to its geographic location, Russia’s prerequisite to acquire and maintain the status of a superpower has long been to seize and retain control over two maritime „windows to the world.” This strategy was first mapped out by Peter the Great and led to multiple wars in the Baltic and Black Seas. l Russia has in the past focused on intensifying its activities in the south, as exemplified by the conflict with Ukraine and Moscow’s armed intervention in the Syrian civil war. Symbolically, this is illustrated by making the Black Sea city of Sochi Russia’s „summer capital” and a place where Vladimir Putin hosts world leaders and Kremlin officials. l The Black Sea is to become a platform from where Russia is able to exert influence on neighboring regions, including the Middle East, the Balkans and the Mediterranean countries. The Kremlin’s accom- plishments in the Black Sea region and friendly ties with the Turkish authorities successfully obstructed shipping Caspian hydrocarbon supplies to Europe. l Thanks to the annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and increased combat capabilities in the immediate vicinity of the peninsula, Russia finally managed to regain dominance across the Black Sea it had lost in 1991. For Russia, it is vital to exert full control over Crimea as it will permit the Kremlin to hold Kiev in check while extending field reconnaissance activities and firing capabilities to the vast area of the Black Sea.

  • The Case of Baguio City, Philippines
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences 21 (2011) 326–335 International Conference: Spatial Thinking and Geographic Information Sciences 2011 Spatio-Temporal Urban Land Use/Cover Change Analysis in a Hill Station: The Case of Baguio City, Philippines Ronald C. Estoquea,b , Yuji Murayamaa aDivision of Spatial Information Science, Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Japan bDon Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, Philippines Abstract This study explores the spatial and temporal characteristics of land use/cover (LUC) changes in Baguio city, the only American hill station in Asia and the summer capital of the Philippines. Remote sensing (RS) satellite images were used to develop the 1988, 1998, and 2009 LUC maps of the city in a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) platform. Results reveal that the city has undergone a major physical landscape transformation for the last 21 years as indicated by a rapid built-up area expansion and substantial changes in its other land uses/covers. This study also analyzes the spatial pattern of urban growth in Baguio city. Furthermore, it presents insights in planning for the future sustainable urbanization of this highly valued city. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Open access under CC BY-NC-ND license.

[1] —James Joyce, “The Dead,” from Dubliners On the afternoon of January 12, 2020, Taal Volcano in the Philippine province of Batangas erupted after forty-seven years of dormancy. Ash propelled into the air and quickly covered the surrounding area, even reaching Metro Manila, about 60 miles to the north. Catastrophe struck the villages around the volcano’s crater lake. Many of the villages housed people whose fisheries within the lake were their livelihood. Global news media images of farm animals, homes, and roads buried in ash tell tales of structural ruin and human displacement, with nearly forty thousand people from the Batangas and Cavite provinces retreating to cramped evacuation centers set up by government authorities. Nearby, atop a mountain ridge next to the lake, a resort and condominium development named Tagaytay Highlands was also blanketed with ash, though evacuees were better off. The vacationers in the Highlands rushed to join other family members or return to their city homes in Metro Manila amid the ashen chaos.

Saudi Arabia has four main regions. Najd, the geographic center and political and cultural core, is a vast plateau that combines rocky and sandy areas with isolated mountains and wadi systems. Agricultural oases are the sites of villages, towns, and cities. This area's rangelands have long sustained nomadic pastoral production and are the homelands of the main Bedouin communities. Najd is bordered to the west by the regions of Hijaz and Asir along the Red Sea. A narrow coastal plain known as Tihama is predominant in the south, while a mountain chain with a steep western escarpment runs through these areas.

  • The Myth of “Ethnic Conflict”: Politics, Economics, and “Cultural” Violence
    The Myth of “Ethnic Conflict”: Politics, Economics, and “Cultural” Violence Edited by Beverly Crawford and Ronnie D. Lipschutz Description: In the last decade, discourses of economic and political liberalization and globalization have swept the world. Yet during this same period and all across the globe, many states are fragmenting and more than 30 ethnic and sectarian conflicts have displaced or killed millions of people — and far more civilians than soldiers. The authors in this volume argue that much of this violence is closely linked to those globalizing forces and demands for economic liberalization which have weakened states' capacities, both political and financial, for redistributing resources. As a result, many states have been forced to break established social contracts, often dramatically changing power relations in heterogeneous societies that previously had been relatively stable. Drawing on case studies from Asia, Eastern Europe, North Africa, the former Soviet Union, and the United States, the authors demonstrate how these distributional issues and power shifts have been experienced as ethnic and religious discrimination and are often at the root of identity politics and violent, so-called “cultural,” conflicts.
