  • Regime Crises, Political Exclusion and Indiscriminate Violence in Africa
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: RISKING WAR: REGIME CRISES, POLITICAL EXCLUSION AND INDISCRIMINATE VIOLENCE IN AFRICA Philip Gregory Roessler, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Directed By: Professor Mark I. Lichbach Department of Government and Politics Between 1956 and 1999 one-third of the civil wars in the world occurred in sub- Saharan Africa. The prevailing explanation given to account for this fact is the economic weakness of African states. While low income is a robust determinant of civil war onset in global models, it is not as precise a predictor within sub-Saharan Africa. Instead, I argue that civil war is often a consequence of how African rulers respond to threats to regime survival, such as failed coups d’etat and other regime crises. In the wake of regime crises, rulers, concerned by their tenuous hold on power, seek to reduce the risk of future coups by eliminating disloyal agents from within the government and increasing spoils for more trusted clients to try to guarantee their support should another coup or threat materialize. The problem for the ruler is distinguishing loyal agents from traitors. To overcome this information problem rulers often use ethnicity as a cue to restructure their ruling networks, excluding perceived ‘ethnic enemies’ from spoils. The consequence of such ethnic exclusion is that, due to the weakness of formal state structures, the ruler forfeits his leverage over and information about such societal groups, undermining the government’s ability to effectively prevent and contain violent mobilization and increasing the risk of civil war. To test this hypothesis, I employ a nested research design.

  • The Internationalists
    FIFTEEN WHY IS THERE STILL SO MUCH CONFLICT? The decision to outlaw war changed the world. Wars between states are now rare. Conquest has become the exception, not the rule. But if this is true, why have so many missed the remarkable success of the outlawry of war? At least part of the reason is that the postwar world has been far from peaceful. India and Pakistan have fought over the region of Kashmir off and on since 1947. Since 1948, conflict involving Israel has led to three interstate wars and several intifadas. War raged in Korea from 1950 to 1953 and in Vietnam from 1955 to 1975. Genocidal conflicts erupted in Yugoslavia (now the former Yugoslavia) and Rwanda in the 1990s, and civil war ravaged Sudan for more than two decades. In 2014, the United States and China began playing a high-stakes game of chicken over islands in the South China Sea and many fear a war with China in the near future. And in 2015 alone, high-fatality civil wars continued in Nigeria, South Sudan, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, and Ukraine.1 Why, if war has been outlawed, is there still so much conflict? The answer is that these conflicts are not prohibited by the Pact. Indeed, they are the predictable consequences of it. Even though the Peace Pact was extraordinarily—many thought foolishly—ambitious, it was nonetheless limited in its scope. It outlawed territorial aggression by one state against another. The United Nations Charter followed its example, prohibiting “the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.” This prohibition has been remarkably effective, as the decline in conquest and interstate war shows.

  • Boundary News
    Boundary news Boundary news Headlines Press conference to address the Hala’ib Triangle land dispute between Sudan and Egypt (14 January 2016) The foreign ministers of Sudan and Egypt held a joint press conference on the 9th of January to address the countries’ longstanding dispute over the territory that straddles their shared border: the Hala’ib Triangle. In 1899, the Anglo­Egyptian condominium agreement for Sudan set the boundary on the 22nd parallel as the border between the two countries. Three years later in 1902 the British created a new dividing line, granting administration of the area to Sudan because of its proximity and access to Khartoum. The administrative boundary created the Hala'ib triangle north of the 22nd parallel and a small area, the Bir Tawil south of the parallel. With the independence of Sudan in 1956 both countries claimed sovereignty over the Hala’ib triangle; Egypt regarded the 22nd parallel as the territorial boundary between the two countries whilst Sudan claimed the 1902 administrative border. Conflict erupted two years later, in 1958, when Sudan announced plans to hold elections in the Hala’ib triangle. Egypt’s President Nasser sent troops into the disputed region but withdrew a month later. Joint control of the land remained in effect until 1992, when Egypt protested Sudan’s granting of exploration rights for the waters off the triangle to a Canadian oil company. In 2014, Cairo signed contracts with companies for gold exploration in the area. Khartoum responded by deploying a force of marines. In the press conference, Sudanese Minister of Foreign Affairs Ibrahim Ghandour announced that Sudan is renewing its complaint against Egypt in the UN Security Council in a bid to save its historical rights to the area.

  • Report from Practically Somewhere: Liberland, Sovereignty, and Norm Contestation
    REPORT FROM PRACTICALLY SOMEWHERE: LIBERLAND, SOVEREIGNTY, AND NORM CONTESTATION By Sam Koebrich Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Alexander Astrov Word Count: 16,671 Budapest, Hungary 2017 CEU eTD Collection Abstract: Liberland is a state that does not exist––or rather, it is not recognized by any other state and is occupied by Croatian police despite Croatia not claiming the territory. This project to form a new sovereign state on what would otherwise be terra nullius reignites debates of the normative and legal rule of sovereignty in its declaratory and constitutive forms. The exclusion of Liberland from international society demonstrates the operative paradigm of sovereignty as favoring norm over law. By examining why this is so, the purpose of sovereignty as a structure to reproduce power asymmetries in international society is revealed. Acknowledgments: I would like to thank my supervisor, Alexander Astrov for entertaining a thesis topic many would scoff at. I paid little attention to sovereignty or norms at the beginning of this degree, but through his course instruction, syllabus, and comments these are now concepts I care quite a bit about. I would like to thank my parents for their emotional (and sometimes financial) support in getting myself and a wheelchair onto a plane to Budapest. I would like to thank my friends in Canada for trying to push me further to the left, and my friends in the US for keeping me grounded. Lastly, I would like to thank the Liberlandians I met for accepting me into their community despite my drastically different worldview.

  • LXVII Sixty-Seventh Session Security Council
    LXVII sixty-seventh session Security Council !!! Berkeley Model United Nations Welcome Letter Hi! My name is Soham Kale, and I’ll be your head chair for BMUN LXVII Security Council. I’m a junior here at UC Berkeley studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, as well as Engineering Physics. I’m originally from South Florida, but the last two years I’ve spent in the Bay Area have been some of the best of my life. I’ve been doing MUN for 7 years now, and it’s honestly been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever been in. It’s given me a chance to broaden my knowledge past my STEM field, and I’ve met some of the most passionate, intelligent, and overall amazing individuals during my time as both a delegate and a chair. Outside of MUN, I really love to code, sketch my surroundings, swim, and buys things I don’t need from Amazon. To me, Security Council provides the unique potential to tackle specific, influential issues, and set far-reaching precedence as you go. One thing I’ve loved about this committee is that you really can’t make any blanket statements; every single clause has to be definite in its scope and explicit in its terminology. It only takes a dash of imagination to see the resolutions and debate in SC being replicated in the real UN, with lasting impacts that are both incredible to see transpire yet realistic in their scope. I hope that the work that gets done this March follows suit, and we expect delegates to bring only the best they have to offer, in order to get out of it the most they can.

  • Where There's a Will, There's A
    Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way Ten Ways of Settling an Insoluble Territorial dispute Igor Yu. Okunev Abstract Understanding ‘sovereignty’ as one and indivisible substance is very convenient for politicians and lawyers, but in the modern political reality it is hardly achievable. Alternative approaches to sovereignty, which imply the possibility of blending the legal systems of different states in the same territory, considerably expand opportunities for resolving territorial disputes. In this article vast historical material is used to illustrate the experience of implementing various models of territorial governance, such as an associated state, transboundary region, sovereign region, leased territory, free territory, no-man’s territory, buffer zone, temporary administration, condominium, and commune. The described set of options may help break the deadlock in negotiations on almost any territorial dispute, provided the parties concerned have the political will to achieve a peaceful compromise.
