To me, they are mere entities, mere embodiments of social malfeasance. And the action I am taking here is merely a revolutionary means to hasten the revelation of truth and justice… Let them dare to summon me before a court of law! Let the inquiry be in broad daylight!

Of all that China exports to foreign countries, there is not a single thing which is not beneficial to people… Now we have set up regulations governing the Chinese people. He who sells opium shall receive the death penalty and he who smokes it also the death penalty… [I]n the new regulations, in regard to the barbarians who bring opium to China, the penalty is fixed at decapitation or strangulation. This is what is called getting rid of a harmful thing on behalf of mankind…” —Letter from Lin Tse-hsu (Chinese official) to Queen Victoria of England, 1839 4.1. What motivated the British trade discussed by Lin Tse-hsu? A. retaliation for overpriced goods like silk and tea B.

  • The English Republic
    72 The English Republic DOROTHY THOMPSON By the second half of the eighteenth century, England must have seemed the European country most likely to dispense with monarchical and aristo- cratic government. English kings had been by-passed, dethroned, even decapitated for the protection of the protestant faith and the sanctity of parliamentary government. Legitmacy in English monarchs came second to adhesion to acceptable political and religious views. The ruling house of Hanover was unpopular with many sections of the populace, a populace notorious for its and unruly and levelling behaviour. A cheap and expanding press fed a sophisticated and organised public opinion among the lower orders. In 1779 increasing concern with political and clerical authority errupted into major riots against catholic relief and against the refusal of parliament to modify the relief bill in response to mass petitioning. The riots, which took the name of the instigator of the petitions, Lord George Gordon, also took in attacks on poll booths and prisons, the symbols of state power. Two hundred people perished in the military confrontation by which the rioters were brought to heel, and other European states, particularly France, where central control and policing were more powerful, looked on in horror. By the opening of the twentieth century, however, the death of a monarch brought hundreds of thousands of mourners into the streets in England, and by the close of that century Britain was one among a group of north European countries in which a stable democracy existed under a monarchical system. It is one of the curious aspects of British history that there has not been in England, at least since the seventeenth century, a republican party.

  • Republicanism in Nineteenth Century England
    NORBERT J. GOSSMAN REPUBLICANISM IN NINETEENTH CENTURY ENGLAND To one familiar with the attitude of "near devotion" accorded the monarchy by the majority of Englishmen today, it may come as a shock to discover a lack of this devotion in mid-Victorian England. A sampling of comments from the radical press is a striking example. Trie-regular arrival of Victoria's progeny evoked this impious sug­ gestion in the Northern Star: That, rather than reciting national prayers of thanksgiving, congregations should sing "hymns of despair for their misfortune in being saddled with another addition to the brood of royal Cormorants." 1 The National Reformer referred to "our good kind, and dear Queen, who... could easily dispense with the allowance which her loyal subjects make her... unless she desires to be the last of England's monarchs..." 2 Yet criticism of Victoria was mild in comparison with the criticism directed toward her immediate predecessors. Upon the death of George IV in June 1830, the Times had the following comment: "The truth is... that there never was an individual less regretted by his fellow- creatures than this deceased King... If George IV ever had a friend, a devoted friend - in any rank of life - we protest that the name of him or her has not yet reached us." 3 This attitude toward the monarchy can be explained partly by the personalities of some of the Hanoverians - George IV, for example, 4 partly by objections to the growing expense of monarchy, but it might also be explained by the feeling in some radical circles that the institution of monarchy was incompatible with the growth of demo­ cracy.

  • The Abolition of Monarchy and Constitution Making in Nepal
    THE KING VERSUS THE PEOPLE（BHANDARI） Article THE KING VERSUS THE PEOPLE: THE ABOLITION OF MONARCHY AND CONSTITUTION MAKING IN NEPAL Surendra BHANDARI Abstract The abolition of the institution of monarchy on May 28, 2008 marks a turning point in the political and constitutional history of Nepal. This saga of constitutional development exemplifies the systemic conflict between people’s’ aspirations for democracy and kings’ ambitions for unlimited power. With the abolition of the monarchy, the process of making a new constitution for the Republic of Nepal has started under the auspices of the Constituent Assembly of Nepal. This paper primarily examines the reasons or causes behind the abolition of monarchy in Nepal. It analyzes the three main reasons for the abolition of monarchy. First, it argues that frequent slights and attacks to constitutionalism by the Nepalese kings had brought the institution of the monarchy to its end. The continuous failures of the early democratic government and the Supreme Court of Nepal in bringing the monarchy within the constitutional framework emphatically weakened the fledgling democracy, but these failures eventually became fatal to the monarchical institution itself. Second, it analyzes the indirect but crucial role of India in the abolition of monarchy. Third, it explains the ten-year-long Maoist insurgency and how the people’s movement culminated with its final blow to the monarchy. Furthermore, this paper also analyzes why the peace and constitution writing process has yet to take concrete shape or make significant process, despite the abolition of the monarchy. Finally, it concludes by recapitulating the main arguments of the paper.

  • Nepal's Political Relationship with India
    Dhaulagiri Journal of Sociology and Anthropology Vol. 14, 2020, PP. 131-138 131 Received: 2019-11-02 Accepted: 2020-11-19 Nepal’s Political Relationship with India: Under the Lens of Path Dependency Theory Gaurav Raja Dahal Abstract The recent developments in Nepal’s politics from the abolition of autocratic monarchy, promulgation of a new constitution to successful completion of local, provincial, and federal level elections can be perceived as Nepal’s politics achieving miraculous success in forming democracy. Throughout the history, heavy reliance on the Indian economy has been considered as a major hurdle to Nepal’s sovereignty. This paper analyzes the Nepal-India relationship through path-dependent theory and argues that with series of above mentioned demo- cratic success, the contemporary Nepali foreign policy towards India is at a critical juncture where Nepal can incorporate new changes to make its policies independent and uninfluenced by the Indian government. Analyzing the series of political and democratic events and foreign policies implemented to date, this paper aims to understand how the Nepali leadership can utilize these recent series of democratic successes as a turning point to break the traditional approach of forming policies to appease the Indian government and re- ceive political and economic support and implement new policy changes leveraging on the multilateral organizations and developmental partners for its support economically and politically. Keywords: critical juncture, interdependence, multilateralism, Nepali foreign policy, path dependent 2015, India became unable to resolve the situation Background diplomatically and started playing a “big brother role” towards Nepal, mishandling the situation. Unable to Nepal is a developing and landlocked country located bring new sophistication to the diplomacy, the Indian between the two big Asian superpowers, India and China.

  • The Wettins and the Issue of Inheritance of the Polish-Lithuanian State Throne in the Context of the Constitution of May 3, 1791: Position of the Lithuanian Nobility
    Open Political Science, 2019; 2: 86–95 Research Article Ramunė Šmigelskytė-Stukienė* The Wettins and the Issue of Inheritance of the Polish-Lithuanian State Throne in the Context of the Constitution of May 3, 1791: Position of the Lithuanian Nobility https://doi.org/10.1515/openps-2019-0009 received July 15, 2019; accepted October 15, 2019. Abstract: The article analyses attitudes of the Lithuanian nobility towards the inheritance of the throne of the Polish- Lithuanian Commonwealth (the Commonwealth) in the period of the Four-Year Sejm (1788-1792). Thorough analysis of historiography and research of narrative sources amplifies the position of the Lithuanian nobility towards the issue of inheritance of the throne of the Commonwealth as it was reflected in the political literature of 1787-1789 period. Analysis of the documents produced by the February and November dietines (Pol. sejmiks), 1790 of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (the GDL) reveals changes in the position of nobility towards selection of the successor to the throne with the king still alive. It was established, that in supporting the idea of a hereditary throne, Lithuanian political writers suggested different strategies in realizing this idea and proposed as candidates for the throne representatives of ruling dynasties of several states: Russia, Prussia, Saxony and Great Britain. Changes in the position of nobility were significantly influenced by the activism of patriotic-reformist faction, which proposed the very idea of a hereditary throne and a candidate from the dynasty of Wettins: the GDL districts (Pol. powiats), having ignored the question of throne inheritance in the February dietines of 1790, in November of the same year agreed to the selection of Elector of Saxony as the successor to the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania Stanislaw August.

  • Lecture Dedication
    Lecture Dedication To the memory of my father, Manoutchehr Mirza Eskandari (Kadjar) (1919-1983), aristocrat and romantic extraordinaire; and to my wife, Fariba, and children, Amir-Hamsa and Yasmin. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS When writing anything that requires more than what one carries in one's head, one relies heavily upon, and inevitably imposes a great deal on, people for whom one does little in return. It is therefore appropriate and proper to thank them profusely for their generosity and good will, in the hope that this small gesture would make up for all the trouble they put themselves through to get one to this point. I say "hope," knowing full well that their kindness cannot be repaid fully, not even in multiple pages of thank yous. As no man is an island and no one really is self-made, gratitude is, first and foremost, due to all those who, over the years with their tireless efforts, have made it possible for this speaker to be able to say and do the things he has said and done. Thus thanks is first due to my parents and, second, to all my teachers-too many to name them all-and to all those I have learned from. They all taught me how to walk, intellectually, and I hope that the result is not disappointing to them! Next, I wish to thank my wife, Fariba. She is and has been my guiding light, keeping me on a steady course and an even keel, despite myself. Without her, none of this would be possible. For the innumerable little and big things she does daily, and will keep on doing because of who she is, my boundless gratitude is owed as a minuscule repayment for a debt that cannot ever be paid; not even in part.

It argues that antinomians, by rejecting traditional concepts of social authority, created divisive political factions within the godly party while it waged war against King Charles I. At the same time in New England, antinomians organized a political movement that called for a democratic commonwealth to limit the power of ministers and magistrates in religious and civil affairs. When this program collapsed in Massachusetts, hundreds of colonists returned to an Old England engulfed by civil war. Joining English antinomians, they became lay preachers in London, New Model Army soldiers, and influential supporters of the republican Levellers. This dissertation also connects the study of republican political thought to the labor history of the first British Empire.

  • Abstract Historical Perspectives on the Role Of
    ABSTRACT HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN PEACE-MAKING AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION IN TANA RIVER DISTRICT, KENYA, 1900 TO PRESENT By Fatuma Boru Guyo Using the example of the Orma and the Pokomo women in the Tana River District, Kenya, this thesis explores the roles of women in peace-making and conflict resolution. Oral histories and semi-structured interviews were conducted with thirteen women from different backgrounds. The study identified six major themes. Each of these themes had impact not only on the women’s sense of identity, and of their roles in peace-making, but also revealed changes and continuity across generations. The study revealed that women were significant social actors generally and in particular in peace-making. Although their stories were consistent with the theories on war and peace, it challenges feminist critique by painting a picture of how they were able to create a place for themselves in their community through their role in peace-making, a role not necessarily defined through men. In conclusion, the study offers suggestions for further research in women’s roles in peace-making.
