Dona Nobis Pacem: Occupied Before Jus Post Bellum?! Dona nobis pacem: Occupied before jus post bellum?! A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School Of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Department of Political Science Of the College of Arts and Sciences by Albert W. Klein, Jr. LLM. Georgetown University Law Center May 1999 M.S. Troy University August 1989 J.D. University of Akron, School of Law May 1985 Committee Chair: Rebecca Sanders, Ph.D. 1 Abstract: Returning sovereignty to a vanquished county after a state on state war can be accomplished by a belligerent occupation and jus post bellum phases. The concept of belligerent occupation was developed by the French to take the place of conquest after a state on state war. Belligerent occupation seeks to return the sovereignty back to the vanquished rather than retaining control over that defeated people and territory. In the last quarter millennium, the diplomats, the militaries and the courts have established the concept of belligerent occupation but with varying success due to a lack of planning for this end. With the careful and extensive planning for the Allied occupation after the Second World War success was attained albeit with great effort during the belligerent occupation. Comparing the occupations of Germany, Japan, and Iraq several additional planning indicators are advanced for the successful completion of a belligerent occupation. Indicators deal with the occupation plans and planning for implementation, how the victors are viewed, a functioning government in the vanquished country, the homogeneity of the vanquished population, the size of the country and population of the defeated state, the length of the war prior to occupation, and the anticipated length of the occupation. The extant treaty based occupation laws under The Hague and Geneva Conventions provide a sufficient legal basis for a successful belligerent occupation. These planning indicators supported by the treaty law can only be effective once there is sufficient control and security in the vanquished country to begin the state building process. The ideal belligerent occupation requires a military victory, a peace agreement, a commitment to reconstruction, and a promise to return their sovereignty to the vanquished. A final step to prepare the vanquished for a return of sovereignty is a jus post bellum phase addressing retribution, rebuilding, reparations, reconciliation, and proportionality. Impediments to the ideal belligerent occupation are considered along military and legal lines of analysis. A policy relevant proposal using the United States as the example is offered to focus on the planning details and assigning responsibility for the specific tasks. The call for a Post-Conflict Planning Cell with the concomitant coordination in a “whole of government” and “whole of nation” approach is proposed. 2 Copyright sought © 2019 3 Acknowledgements My first acknowledgement is to my wife, Terry, for her support through my military and academic careers.

  • Necessary Fictions”: Authorship and Transethnic Identity in Contemporary American Narratives
    MILNE, LEAH A., PhD. “Necessary Fictions”: Authorship and Transethnic Identity in Contemporary American Narratives. (2015) Directed by Dr. Christian Moraru. 352 pp. As a theory and political movement of the late 20th century, multiculturalism has emphasized recognition, tolerance, and the peaceful coexistence of cultures, while providing the groundwork for social justice and the expansion of the American literary canon. However, its sometimes uncomplicated celebrations of diversity and its focus on static, discrete ethnic identities have been seen by many as restrictive. As my project argues, contemporary ethnic American novelists are pushing against these restrictions by promoting what I call transethnicity, the process by which one formulates a dynamic conception of ethnicity that cuts across different categories of identity. Through the use of self-conscious or metafictional narratives, authors such as Louise Erdrich, Junot Díaz, and Percival Everett mobilize metafiction to expand definitions of ethnicity and to acknowledge those who have been left out of the multicultural picture. I further argue that, while metafiction is often considered the realm of white male novelists, ethnic American authors have galvanized self-conscious fiction—particularly stories depicting characters in the act of writing—to defy multiculturalism’s embrace of coherent, reducible ethnic groups who are best represented by their most exceptional members and by writing that is itself correct and “authentic.” Instead, under the transethnic model, ethnicity is self-conflicted, forged through ongoing revision and contestation and in ever- fluid responses to political, economic, and social changes. “NECESSARY FICTIONS”: AUTHORSHIP AND TRANSETHNIC IDENTITY IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN NARRATIVES by Leah A.

  • The German Army, Vimy Ridge and the Elastic Defence in Depth in 1917
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 18, ISSUE 2 Studies “Lessons learned” in WWI: The German Army, Vimy Ridge and the Elastic Defence in Depth in 1917 Christian Stachelbeck The Battle of Arras in the spring of 1917 marked the beginning of the major allied offensives on the western front. The attack by the British 1st Army (Horne) and 3rd Army (Allenby) was intended to divert attention from the French main offensive under General Robert Nivelle at the Chemin des Dames (Nivelle Offensive). 1 The French commander-in-chief wanted to force the decisive breakthrough in the west. Between 9 and 12 April, the British had succeeded in penetrating the front across a width of 18 kilometres and advancing around six kilometres, while the Canadian corps (Byng), deployed for the first time in closed formation, seized the ridge near Vimy, which had been fiercely contested since late 1914.2 The success was paid for with the bloody loss of 1 On the German side, the battles at Arras between 2 April and 20 May 1917 were officially referred to as Schlacht bei Arras (Battle of Arras). In Canada, the term Battle of Vimy Ridge is commonly used for the initial phase of the battle. The seizure of Vimy ridge was a central objective of the offensive and was intended to secure the protection of the northern flank of the 3rd Army. 2 For detailed information on this, see: Jack Sheldon, The German Army on Vimy Ridge 1914-1917 (Barnsley: Pen&Sword Military, 2008), p. 8. Sheldon's book, however, is basically a largely indiscriminate succession of extensive quotes from regimental histories, diaries and force files from the Bavarian War Archive (Kriegsarchiv) in Munich.

Smith And approved by _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2008 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Black Internationalism and African and Caribbean Intellectuals in London, 1919-1950 By MARC MATERA Dissertation Director: Bonnie G. Smith During the three decades between the end of World War I and 1950, African and West Indian scholars, professionals, university students, artists, and political activists in London forged new conceptions of community, reshaped public debates about the nature and goals of British colonialism, and prepared the way for a revolutionary and self-consciously modern African culture. Black intellectuals formed organizations that became homes away from home and centers of cultural mixture and intellectual debate, and launched publications that served as new means of voicing social commentary and political dissent. These black associations developed within an atmosphere characterized by a variety of internationalisms, including pan-ethnic movements, feminism, communism, and the socialist internationalism ascendant within the British Left after World War I. The intellectual and political context of London and the types of sociability that these groups fostered gave rise to a range of black internationalist activity and new regional imaginaries in the form of a West Indian Federation and a United West Africa that shaped the goals of anticolonialism before 1950.

Nel 1940 Hans Kelsen, in fuga dal nazionalsocialismo, era giunto, dopo una lunga e travagliata vicenda, negli Stati Uniti. Pochi anni dopo la situazione militare per il Terzo Reich si era complicata e, in seguito alla rotta di Stalingrado (febbraio 1943), gli Alleati era- no ormai consapevoli della prossima sconfitta dell’Asse. Pertanto, mentre ancora l’Europa attendeva di essere liberata, cominciarono a discutere di come gestire la vittoria e, cioè, di cosa fare del territorio e della popolazione del Reich tedesco al termine del conflitto 1. 1 Gli Alleati, nel corso della Conferenza di Mosca del 1943, stabilirono la fon- dazione della European Advisory Commision, con il compito di individuare e de- finire strategie e politiche da adottare nei territori del Reich dopo la liberazione dal nazionalsocialismo.
