The Islamic State: New Research on Ongoing Threats and Trends Pieter Nanninga (University of Groningen) – “Branding a Caliphate in Decline: the Islamic State’s video output, 2015-2017” The Islamic State’s information warfare is a key component of its general strategy. The group’s rise in Iraq and Syria had been accompanied by the establishment of an extensive media structure that propagated the group’s successes in thousands of videos, magazine issues, and photo reports. However, the Islamic State’s self-representation as a powerful caliphate that is ‘remaining and expanding’ has come under increasing pressure due to its mounting difficulties on the ground, including the loss of large swaths of territory and increasing problems in the fields of governance, and recruitment. How has the Islamic State’s propaganda machine dealt with these circumstances? How has it framed its setbacks and adapted its narratives to continue inspiring and mobilising its supporters? Most studies on the Islamic State’s media output are based on small samples and particular cases, whereas comprehensive examinations of long-term trends are still largely absent. Based on the author’s complete archive of IS video releases, this paper therefore delineates the main trends in the Islamic State’s media output over the last two years. First, it offers a quantitative overview of the group’s official video output, demonstrating a significant decline in media output and some maJor changes in the content of the videos.

  • Barony of Decieswithout Drum
    I.T.A. Topographical and General Survey Natural Features, Antiquities, Historic Associations, Etc. Barony of Decies Without Drum Town or Village Abbeyside Parish Abbeyside County Waterford TOPOGRAPHY Brief description of outstanding scenic views in the district, natural attractions, or unusual topographical features. The parish of Abbeyside is bounded on the N.W. by the Ph. of Kilgobinet, on the N.E. by Kilrossenty, on the East by Stradbally and on the South by the sea. The land, except in the northern portion of the parish, is low-lying and very fertile. To the north lie the wooded hills of Cloncoskeran and Glendine. The view from the top of the “Pike” hill, as one approaches from Waterford, is very pleasant. The valley, which is thickly wooded, dips steeply at this point, and then slopes gently to the sea-shore. Dungarvan Bay, the Cunnigar, the Ring peninsula and the vast expanse of ocean to the east present a most pleasing picture. For about a mile in the direction of Dungarvan from the foot of the “Pike” hill, the road is lined on both sides with trees which arch overhead, and add to the picturesque scene a tone of peace and quiet. There are two first-class roads, the main Dungarvan – Waterford road and the Dungarvan – Tramore “Coast Road”. As time goes on, more and more Dungarvan business people are building private residences in Abbeyside, and several new houses have been built during the past few years. GEOLOGY Brief notes on unusual geological features, such as caves, eskers, etc. No unusual geological features or caves worthy of note.

ROYAL IRISH REGIMENT (IRISH BRIGADE) WHO DIED OF WOUNDS RECEIVED IN ACTION JUNE 7, 1917 LEADING HIS MEN IN THE ATTACK ON WYTSCHAETE WOOD y* INTRODUCTION By John Redmond, M.P. THE RESPONSE OF THE IRISH RACE This war is a war of liberation, and its battle-cry is the rights and liberties of humanity. From the very beginning of the conflict my colleagues of the Irish Party, and I myself, have availed of every opportunity in Parliament, on the platform, and in the Press, to present this view of it to the Irish race at home and abroad; and despite the tragic mistakes made in regard to Ireland by the successive Governments which have held office since war broke out, we are still unshaken in our opinion that Ireland's highest interests lie in the speedy and overwhelming victory of England and the Allies. The response of the Irish race the world over to our appeal to rise in defence of civilisation and free- dom has been really wonderful. The example was set by Ireland herself. At the outbreak of the war I asked the Irish people, and especially the young men of Ireland, to mark the profound change which has been brought about in the relations of Ireland to the Empire by wholeheartedly INTRODUCTION supporting the Allies in the field.

  • Historic Commemorations in New Zealand and Northern Ireland, 1940–1990
    Remembering the Past, Thinking of the Present: Historic Commemorations in New Zealand and Northern Ireland, 1940–1990 Helen Alexandra Robinson A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy, the University of Auckland, 2009. ii iii Abstract This thesis analyses and compares two historic commemorations in Northern Ireland with two in New Zealand, in the period from 1940 to 1990. These commemorations are the Twelfth of July and Remembrance Sunday in Northern Ireland, and Waitangi Day and Anzac Day in New Zealand. Examination of these commemorations has revealed several patterns. In the commemorations studied in this thesis, levels of public adherence generally depended on the extent to which the values that the commemoration symbolised were seen as threatened or highly needed. The commemorations which reaffirmed compelling values tended to enjoy higher levels of public support than those expressing values which were seen as either unnecessary or unthreatened. In both countries, historic commemorations were capable of uniting communities behind core values. However, in cases where there was no general agreement on what those values were or what they meant, commemorations frequently became sites of division and conflict. All four commemorations were regularly used by organisers and participants to express views on contemporary political and social issues and, on several occasions in both countries, different groups battled for the control of particular commemorations. In both countries, increased levels of social conflict often led to the increased use of the past as a rhetorical device. The main conclusion to be drawn from this study is that these historic commemora- tions derived more of their meaning from their contemporary context than from the historical events which they commemorated.
