New Perspectives on the Anglophone World is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Meeting the Enemy 1 Meeting the Enemy British-German Encounters in the Occupied Rhineland after the First World War Tom Williams 1 Negative stereotypes of the German enemy were so pervasive in Britain during the First World War that, when crossing into German territory at the end of the conflict, the writer and social reformer Violet Markham remarked that it was “almost with a shock that you realise that German civilians are not equipped with hoofs and horns or other attributes of a Satanic character” (Markham 1921: 15). Visions of a brutal, arrogant, warmongering “Hun”, disseminated since 1914 in British propaganda as a means of justifying wartime mobilization and sacrifice, proved difficult to sustain once British soldiers and civilians met individual Germans face-to-face in the occupied Rhineland. However effective they may be as a propaganda tool for galvanising public opinion in wartime, enemy images inevitably require a process of psychological abstraction, relying on a set of beliefs and assumptions that often bear little relation to socio- historical realities or individual experiences (Rieber & Kelly 1991; Oppenheimer 2006).

  • The Other Side of the Global Imbalances: the Politics of Economic Reform in China Under the ‘New Normal’
    The Other Side of the Global Imbalances: The Politics of Economic Reform in China Under the ‘New Normal’ Chen Xie PhD University of York Politics March 2018 2 Abstract In the 21st century, the ‘rise of China’ in the post-financial crisis period is arguably the most important and widely debated topic in politics and international studies. Since, the 2008 financial crisis, compared with the US, whose power appears to have diminished, it seems more and more likely that China will soon become the engine of the world economy and, perhaps, one day the global hegemon. Although the financial crisis may have not, in itself, fundamentally changed the shape of the global order, it has arguably altered perceptions. This is especially so regarding the ‘global imbalances’ that are said to have provided the macro-economic conditions for the crisis to occur. Equally, the different positions occupied by the US - as the world’s largest debtor - and China - as the world’s largest creditor - both prior to and after the crisis are suggestive of a fundamental power shift in the global order. In this thesis, I aim to add to existing understandings of the rise of China by examining the relationship between its rise and the global imbalances in the contemporary order. In order to address my thesis questions, I utilise concepts and arguments about the relationship between power, institutions and the global order provided by different scholars and theoretical traditions in IPE. Based on these, I review the experiences of Britain and the US in three key historical periods of global imbalance in 19th and 20th centuries that are analogous to the role of China in the contemporary global imbalances.

  • A Naval Power Dataset, 1865-20111
    Power At Sea: A Naval Power Dataset, 1865-20111 Brian Benjamin Crisher Florida State University Mark Souva Florida State University Abstract Naval power is a crucial element of state power, yet existing naval datasets are limited to a small number of states and ship types. Here we present 147 years of naval data on all the world’s navies from 1865 to 2011. This country-year dataset focuses on warships with ship-based weapons capable of using kinetic force to inflict damage on other structures or peoples. After identifying a country’s active naval forces, we create a measure of naval power based on the aggregate tonnage of the active ships. Additionally, we create count variables for ship types such as aircraft carriers or battleships. This paper introduces the country-year data, describes variables of interests for use in country-year, dyadic, or systemic studies and suggests potential questions of interest scholars could explore using the naval power dataset. 1 We are grateful to David Abitbol, Cameron Cankaya, and Spencer Willis for their hard work as coders on this project. The project also benefited from feedback and suggestions received from the reviewers of International Interactions. Dataset, replication files, and online appendix can be downloaded from the International Interactions Dataverse webpage: http://dvn.iq.harvard.edu/dvn/dv/internationalinteractions. The naval data will also be available at www.briancrisher.net. Address correspondence to Brian B. Crisher, Department of Political Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306, USA.

It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2013 series for most IGCSE, Pre-U, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components. www.theallpapers.com Page 2 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Pre-U – May/June 2013 9769 13 These banding definitions address Assessment Objectives 1, 2 and 4, and should be used in conjunction with the indicative content mark schemes for each question. Introduction (a) The banding definitions which follow reflect, and must be interpreted within the context of, the following general statement: Examiners should give their highest marks to candidates who show a ready understanding of the relevant material and a disciplined management of the discussion the question provokes. They should be impressed more by critical judgement, careful discrimination and imaginative handling than by a weight of facts. Credit should be given for evidence of a good historical intelligence and for good use of perhaps unremarkable material rather than for a stereotyped rehearsal of memorised information.

Alfred Austin, Prince Lucifer, Act VI, Sc.2 PUBLIC OPINION AND THE PRESS One of the vagaries of our English language is that we may use terms which at once convey to our readers our com• plete Idea and yet while connoting all so hedge our thought with an aura of generality that no tangible impression is made. The term "public opinion" may be considered to be a classic example of such specific vagueness. James Bryce once described public opinion as, " a congeries of all sorts of discrepant notions, beliefs, fancies, prejudices, aspirations. It is confused, incoherent, amorphous, varying from, day to day and week to week."1 We need not be too nonplussed by Lord Bryce's defini• tion, however, for Professor Carroll has defined It simply as "the composite reactions of the general public," This is an.

Work on the first ship had already begun by the German Battlecruisers of World War One: Their Design the navy decided to re-design the ships, so the design staff was constrained by the need to use the material already assembled. The name derived from the fact that the lead ship was intended as a replacement German: ersatz for the armored cruiser Yorcklost to mines inand it had Construction and Operations ordered under the provisional Ersatz Yorck. The other two ships, Ersatz Gneisenauand Ersatz Scharnhorstwere considered to be replacements for the armored cruisers Gneisenau and Scharnhorstboth of which had been sunk at the Battle of the Falkland Islandsalso in As with the Mackensen s, the three ships of the Ersatz Yorck class were never completed. This was primarily due to shifting wartime construction priorities; U-boats were deemed more important to Germany's war effort later in the war, and so work German Battlecruisers of World War One: Their Design other types of ships was slowed or halted outright. The lead ship, Ersatz Yorckwas the only vessel of the three to have begun construction, though she was over two years from completion by the time work was abandoned.
