China’s foreign policy was thus from the very beginning heavily influenced by the logic of the Cold War. The Sino-Soviet alliance, formalised in February 1950, was seen by Communist leaders (especially Mao Zedong) as a neces- sity for the PRC given the emerging international context. The outbreak of the Korean War (1950-1953) further consolidated China’s position within the Soviet bloc, causing the majority of Western states not to recognise the newly established Communist government. The new Chinese government also proceeded to eliminate the former Western presence from the country. International historiography on the Cold War has for a long time been dominated by an emphasis on the bipolar confrontational nature of the Soviet-American conflict as well as by a focus on the superpowers’ poli- tics and the role of the United States. With the end of the Cold War and the subsequent access to newly available archival sources from the former Eastern bloc, new approaches to the study of the conflict have emerged, giving way to a more

  • New China and Its Qiaowu: the Political Economy of Overseas Chinese Policy in the People’S Republic of China, 1949–1959
    1 The London School of Economics and Political Science New China and its Qiaowu: The Political Economy of Overseas Chinese policy in the People’s Republic of China, 1949–1959 Jin Li Lim A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2016. 2 Declaration: I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it).

I declare that my thesis consists of 98,700 words. 3 Abstract: This thesis examines qiaowu [Overseas Chinese affairs] policies during the PRC’s first decade, and it argues that the CCP-controlled party-state’s approach to the governance of the huaqiao [Overseas Chinese] and their affairs was fundamentally a political economy. This was at base, a function of perceived huaqiao economic utility, especially for what their remittances offered to China’s foreign reserves, and hence the party-state’s qiaowu approach was a political practice to secure that economic utility.

  • The Impact of China-Central Asia Relations on Xinjiang Uyghur Muslim Riots
    THE IMPACT OF CHINA-CENTRAL ASIA RELATIONS ON XINJIANG UYGHUR MUSLIM RIOTS BY MS QIANLI LIANG A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIALFULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF POLITICAL SCIENCE IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS FACULTY OF POLITICAL SCIENCE THAMMASAT UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC YEAR 2015 COPYRIGHT OF THAMMASAT UNIVERSITY THE IMPACT OF CHINA-CENTRAL ASIA RELATIONS ON XINJIANG UYGHUR MUSLIM RIOTS BY MS QIANLI LIANG A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF POLITICAL SCIENCE IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS FACULTY OF POLITICAL SCIENCE THAMMASAT UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC YEAR 2015 COPYRIGHT OF THAMMASAT UNIVERSITY (1) Thesis Title THE IMPACT OF CHINA-CENTRAL ASIA RELATIONS ON XINJIANG UYGHUR MUSLIM RIOTS Author Ms. Qianli Liang Degree Master of Political Science Major Field/Faculty/University International Relations Faculty of Political Science Thammasat University Thesis Advisor Prof. Dr. Jaran Maluleem Academic Years 2015 ABSTRACT Due to the escalation in Xinjiang Uyghur Muslim riots in recent years, the issue of cracking down on the three evil forces: terrorism, separatism, and extremism in China has become a topic of worldwide interest. However, the complexity of the issue urges China not only to care about internal obstacles but also to concentrate on the broad picture, a regional solution to calm the storm. This paper focuses on two key sub-topics. One is exploring the reasons behind the escalating Xinjiang Uyghur Muslim uprisings and the other is to assess whether closer China-Central Asia co-operation has helped ease the tension. Moreover, this research attempts to investigate the additional external players involved in the Uyghur turmoil.

  • Italy's Atlanticism Between Foreign and Internal
    UNISCI Discussion Papers, Nº 25 (January / Enero 2011) ISSN 1696-2206 ITALY’S ATLANTICISM BETWEEN FOREIGN AND INTERNAL POLITICS Massimo de Leonardis 1 Catholic University of the Sacred Heart Abstract: In spite of being a defeated country in the Second World War, Italy was a founding member of the Atlantic Alliance, because the USA highly valued her strategic importance and wished to assure her political stability. After 1955, Italy tried to advocate the Alliance’s role in the Near East and in Mediterranean Africa. The Suez crisis offered Italy the opportunity to forge closer ties with Washington at the same time appearing progressive and friendly to the Arabs in the Mediterranean, where she tried to be a protagonist vis a vis the so called neo- Atlanticism. This link with Washington was also instrumental to neutralize General De Gaulle’s ambitions of an Anglo-French-American directorate. The main issues of Italy’s Atlantic policy in the first years of “centre-left” coalitions, between 1962 and 1968, were the removal of the Jupiter missiles from Italy as a result of the Cuban missile crisis, French policy towards NATO and the EEC, Multilateral [nuclear] Force [MLF] and the revision of the Alliance’ strategy from “massive retaliation” to “flexible response”. On all these issues the Italian government was consonant with the United States. After the period of the late Sixties and Seventies when political instability, terrorism and high inflation undermined the Italian role in international relations, the decision in 1979 to accept the Euromissiles was a landmark in the history of Italian participation to NATO.

  • Workers' Demonstrations and Liberals
    Workers’ Demonstrations and Liberals’ Condemnations: the Italian Liberal Press’s Coverage of General Strikes, Factory Occupations, and Workers’ Self-Defense Groups during the Rise of Fascism, 1919-1922 By Ararat Gocmen, Princeton University Workers occupying a Turin factory in September 1920. “Torino - Comizio festivo in una officina metallurgica occupata.” L’Illustrazione italiana, 26 September 1920, p. 393 This paper outlines the evolution of the Italian liberal press’s in the liberal press in this way, it illustrates how working-class coverage of workers’ demonstrations from 1919 to 1922. The goal radicalism contributed to the rise of fascism in Italy.1 is to show that the Italian liberal middle classes became increas- ingly philofascistic in response to the persistency of workers’ dem- onstrations during this period. The paper analyzes articles from 1 I would like to thank Professor Joseph Fronczak for his guidance the Italian newspapers La Stampa and L’Illustrazione italiana, in writing this paper, especially for his recommended selections treating their coverage of general strikes, factory occupations, and from the existing historiography of Italian fascism that I cite workers’ self-defense groups as proxies for middle-class liberals’ throughout.

For the past three decades, Leitenberg has paraded the thesis that the allegations of BW use leveled against the US by North Korea and China during the Korean War has all been a nefarious hoax – a grand piece of political theater – deviously orchestrated by Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and the swarthy Joseph Stalin. Leitenberg’s thesis epitomizes the deeply embedded racism of America’s Cold War politics. He has enjoyed bounteous support from right-wing academia and quasi-government think tanks. The BW hoax thesis has impacted scholarship and US foreign policy, and it is a major stumbling block to improving US relations with North Korea. In this article I will argue that Leitenberg’s thesis is a house of cards built on forged docu- ments, false claims and fake facts.

    The London School of Economics and Political Science Mediated tensions: Italian newspapers and the legal recognition of de facto unions Marina Franchi A thesis submitted to the Gender Institute of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, May 2015 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work.

Statement of use of third party for editorial help (if applicable) I can confirm that my thesis was copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Hilary Wright 2 Abstract The recognition of rights to couples outside the institution of marriage has been, and still is, a contentious issue in Italian Politics. Normative notions of family and kinship perpetuate the exclusion of those who do not conform to the heterosexual norm. At the same time the increased visibility of kinship arrangements that evade the heterosexual script and their claims for legal recognition, expose the fragility and the constructedness of heteronorms. During the Prodi II Government (2006-2008) the possibility of a law recognising legal status to de facto unions stirred a major controversy in which the conservative political forces and the Catholic hierarchies opposed any form of recognition, with particular acrimony shown toward same sex couples.

    Encyclopedia of Anti-Revisionism On-Line Anti-revisionism in Italy Giovanni Scuderi Mao: a great leader of the international proletariat and of oppressed nations and peoples Published: First present 22nd June 1993. This essay was presented to the International Seminar on Mao's Thought that took place in Gelsenkirchen (Germany) on the 6th and 7th November 1993 to celebrate the centenary of Mao's birthday. Transcription, Editing and Markup: Paul Saba Copyright: This work is in the Public Domain under the Creative Commons Common Deed.

The internationalist proletarian initiative on the part of the Center for Social Studies, directed by comrade Jose Maria Sison, is very important, providing a platform for representatives of Parties, Organizations and Marxist-Leninist Groups from different countries, on the occasion of the centenary of Mao Zedong's birth. It is a useful and militant way of paying our collective respects to a great leader of the revolution, and at the same time of reflecting on how his universal teachings may be applied to the realities of the respective countries. The exchange of opinions is a Marxist-Leninist approach; it is not simply a question of intellectual or structural information, but of learning from one another, checking the validity of one's own opinions, and correcting them if they turn out to be wrong.

  • Once Again on Red Guards Austin: Lackeyism and U.S
    Once Again on Red Guards Austin: Lackeyism and U.S. Empire 2018-02-20 00:42:22 -0400 Red Guards Austin’s (RGA) recent reply to our polemic RGA Is Not an MLM Organization provides us with more negative examples of the anti-people orienta- tion and practice that revolutionaries in the U.S. need to combat and overcome. In their reply, RGA claims that we don’t have “credentials” to talk about revo- lutionary politics, distorts quotes from our document, and obscures basic geopo- litical realities to justify their pro-imperialist and revisionist stands. RGA’s document itself is not actually written to refute our document, but rather to reassure their followers—most of whom seem not to have read our document— that RGA is correct, and that by extension they are correct for following RGA’s so-called leadership. The title itself, One More Time for Those in the Back, po- sitions RGA as a teacher, leading a class, with their facebook lackeys as the “good students” and those who disagree with RGA as students in the back who are not “listening up.”1 This relative positioning reveals a lot about how RGA imagines themselves, namely as bourgeois figures of authority. This idea is reinforced throughout their document at every level, and this practice further exposes their fundamentally anti-people outlook and politics. It’s worth restating that in our last document we concluded that RGA is not a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist (MLM) organization, and that they lack clarity on the most fundamental and basic lessons of MLM.
