  • Just Two Weeks Ago, I Had the Honor of Presiding Over My Second Yale Law School Commencement
    June 5, 2006 Dear Graduates and Friends: Just two weeks ago, I had the honor of presiding over my second Yale Law School commencement. The weather was perfect and the mood festive, as we graduated a spectacular class. We listened to stirring speeches from our faculty speaker, Deputy Dean Dan Kahan, and Yale’s newest Doctor of Laws, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, a historic figure who, fittingly, both succeeded and was succeeded by graduates of our School (Justices Potter Stewart ’41 and Samuel Alito ’75). While it is too early to tell where the class of 2006 will end up, several have offers to teach or research at top law schools; others have completed or will complete joint degrees. Some will work at law firms, others will start judicial clerkships. At least one has already been invited to clerk for the U.S. Supreme Court, following the eight Yale Law graduates who clerked there in October Term 2005. Another will clerk for the International Court of Justice, joining another Yale Law graduate clerking there, as well as the Court’s new President, Rosalyn Higgins, JSD ’62, the first woman to hold that esteemed position. Seventeen current and recent graduates will begin public interest fellowships in the United States and abroad, and one has already successfully argued a case at the Second Circuit. The unique class just graduated included five students who were homeschooled; one who called for a carbon-neutral graduation; and another who days before graduation published an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times explaining why the popular television show Lost illustrates the defects of a society lacking the rule of law.

  • Democracy, Strategic Interests & U.S. Foreign Policy in the Arab World: A
    1 The University of Washington Bothell Democracy, Strategic Interests & U.S. Foreign Policy in the Arab World: A Multiple Case Study of Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan & Saudi Arabia Kelly Berg A Capstone project presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Policy Studies through the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences June 2015 2 Abstract What determines U.S. foreign policy in the Arab world? In order to address this question, an inductive multiple case study of Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia was conducted. These four Arab countries were selected due to their varying political positions and relationships with the U.S. I argue that the U.S.’s prioritization of strategic interests trumps or, in some cases, stifles support for the democratic process within the context of U.S. foreign policy in the Arab world, and that “democracy” is only advocated for when it serves U.S. desire for stability and hegemony throughout the region. Examining Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia demonstrates that political stability in the region, resistance to terrorism and unrest, Israel’s interests, and economic gains through oil and weapon production and sales are the U.S.’s key priorities. The results of this study will contribute to the existing literature by providing a comprehensive assessment of complex interdependence and political incongruences in U.S. foreign policy in the Arab world. 3 Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor and mentor, Professor Karam Dana, whose encouragement, advice, wisdom, and support proved to be invaluable to my academic journey.

    Comparative Connections A Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations US-China Relations: Navigating Friction, Forging Cooperation Bonnie Glaser, CSIS/Pacific Forum CSIS Alexandra Viers, CSIS The South China Sea remained the most contentious issue in the US-China relationship in the early months of 2016. North Korea’s fourth nuclear test and missile launches posed both a challenge and an opportunity. After two months of intense consultations, the US and China struck a deal that led to unprecedentedly tough sanctions on Pyongyang. Xi Jinping attended the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington DC at the end of March and held a bilateral meeting with President Obama. Their joint statements called for cooperation on nuclear security and climate change. Relations between the militaries hit a snag as Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter postponed a planned visit to China and Beijing rejected a request for a US aircraft carrier battle group to visit Hong Kong. Talks continued on a bilateral investment treaty, but China failed to submit a new “negative list,” leaving prospects uncertain for concluding a BIT by the end of Obama’s term. South China Sea continues to cause friction Tensions between the US and China over the South China Sea simmered throughout the first four months of 2016 as a ruling neared in the case brought by the Philippines against China over Beijing’s maritime claims. The first episode took place at the end of January when a US guided- missile destroyer, the USS Curtis Wilbur, conducted a freedom of navigation (FON) operation within 12nm of Triton Island in the Paracel Island chain.
