Both the United States and Russia have experienced internal turmoil, social discord, political and economic instability, and international conflict since the termination of their hostilities three decades ago. Helming the presidential offices of these great powers, self-described strongmen Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin nostalgically promise to restore the lost glories of their respective countries while making mawkish appeals to tribal identities to build popular support for authoritarian tendencies and practices; preying on popular yearning for stability in a time of uncertainty. This oscillation between the past and future, occupying an uncomfortable and uncertain position, described as Metamodernism, has emerged as a response to the crises of the 21st century, magnified by the hyper-connection and subjectivities created by modern telecommunications technology. Using documentary content analysis of the public speeches and statements of Trump and Putin, this dissertation examined how the two leaders, proxies for the elites of their respective countries, framed the challenges of the Metamodern Era to advance their authoritarian political agendas. The study found that Trump represented deconstructive Metamodernism and Putin signified constructive Metamodernism; both processes to emplace an authoritarian state in either a democratic state or a fragile state. The findings in this research have implications for international relations theory, democracy research, and conflict resolution studies. iv 1 Chapter 1: Introduction The Emergence of the Metamodern Moment For the United States, the 20th Century opened with a devastating and shocking terrorist attack by Al Qaeda in New York City and Washington D.C. that killed approximately 3,000 people, leaving both a physical scar at the scenes of the horror and a disfiguring psychological wound on the national spirit. The American government retaliated first with the invasion of Afghanistan to uproot the safe haven of Al Qaeda and then followed with the subjugation of Iraq, resulting in the destruction of Saddam Hussein’s government and the obliteration of that country’s internal peace and stability1. By the end of the first decade of the century, over one million people died during the War on Terrorism2, the Great Recession threatened global economic stability, and tremendous social change in the United States, marked by the election of the country’s first black president, intensified internal political conflict. Simultaneously, Russia emerged from the chaos of the 1990s, impoverished and depleted by the collapse of the Soviet Union, as a more confident state power with international ambitions to restore its role as a leading global contender. Its president, a former secret police officer, Vladimir Putin, promised to strengthen the country by imposing internal order and confronting external enemies (Myers, 2016). Like the United States, Russia’s start of the 20th Century also included war: an assault on the de facto independent Chechen Republic, a mountainous redoubt

  • Ag Districts Get Focus in Battle for Congress
    April 15, 2020 Volume 16, Number 15 Ag districts get focus in battle for Congress If Republicans have any hope of winning control of the U.S. House this fall, they’ll have to start by winning a series of major agricultural districts Democrats won in 2018. Of the top 100 House districts in terms of farm production, seven are rated as toss-ups by the Cook Political Report. Six of the seven are held by Democrats, including House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson's 7th District seat in Minnesota. The influential chairmanship is held in high regard - a title he could retain unless the House flips back to Republican. The lone Republican tossup seat belongs to Rep. Rodney Davis, whose 13th District in central Illinois includes the university towns of Champaign and Urbana as well as swath of one of the nation’s most productive corn and soybean-growing regions. Three of the tossup ag seats are next door in Iowa, including seats that first-term Reps. Cindy Axne and Abby Finkenauer won in 2018 by ousting GOP incumbents. The third Iowa seat is being vacated by Democratic Rep. Dave Loebsack. The two other tossup seats are in California and New Mexico. In California’s 21st District, which ranks fourth nationally in farm revenue according to the latest Agriculture Department census, first-term Rep. TJ Cox faces a rematch with Republican David Valadao, whom Cox ousted in 2018. www.Agri-Pulse.com 1 In New Mexico’s 2nd District, which covers the southern half of the state, first-term Democratic Rep.

  • The Gordian Knot: Apartheid & the Unmaking of the Liberal World Order, 1960-1970
    THE GORDIAN KNOT: APARTHEID & THE UNMAKING OF THE LIBERAL WORLD ORDER, 1960-1970 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Ryan Irwin, B.A., M.A. History ***** The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Peter Hahn Professor Robert McMahon Professor Kevin Boyle Professor Martha van Wyk © 2010 by Ryan Irwin All rights reserved. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the apartheid debate from an international perspective. Positioned at the methodological intersection of intellectual and diplomatic history, it examines how, where, and why African nationalists, Afrikaner nationalists, and American liberals contested South Africa’s place in the global community in the 1960s. It uses this fight to explore the contradictions of international politics in the decade after second-wave decolonization. The apartheid debate was never at the center of global affairs in this period, but it rallied international opinions in ways that attached particular meanings to concepts of development, order, justice, and freedom. As such, the debate about South Africa provides a microcosm of the larger postcolonial moment, exposing the deep-seated differences between politicians and policymakers in the First and Third Worlds, as well as the paradoxical nature of change in the late twentieth century. This dissertation tells three interlocking stories. First, it charts the rise and fall of African nationalism. For a brief yet important moment in the early and mid-1960s, African nationalists felt genuinely that they could remake global norms in Africa’s image and abolish the ideology of white supremacy through U.N.

Williams Analyst in International Trade and Finance Jonathan R. Corrado Research Associate May 23, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41481 U.S.-South Korea Relations Summary Overview South Korea (officially the Republic of Korea, or ROK) is one of the United States’ most important strategic and economic partners in Asia. Congressional interest in South Korea is driven by both security and trade interests. Since the early 1950s, the U.S.-ROK Mutual Defense Treaty commits the United States to help South Korea defend itself. Approximately 28,500 U.S. troops are based in the ROK, which is included under the U.S. “nuclear umbrella.” Washington and Seoul cooperate in addressing the challenges posed by North Korea. The two countries’ economies are joined by the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA). South Korea is the United States’ seventh-largest trading partner and the United States is South Korea’s second- largest trading partner. Between 2009 and the end of 2016, relations between the two countries arguably reached their most robust state in decades. Political changes in both countries in 2017, however, have generated uncertainty about the state of the relationship. Coordination of North Korea Policy Dealing with North Korea is the dominant strategic concern of the relationship. The Trump Administration appears to have raised North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs to a top U.S.

  • Presidential Transitions: Issues Involving Outgoing and Incoming Administrations
    Order Code RL34722 Presidential Transitions: Issues Involving Outgoing and Incoming Administrations Updated November 25, 2008 L. Elaine Halchin Coordinator Government and Finance Division Presidential Transitions: Issues Involving Outgoing and Incoming Administrations Summary The smooth and orderly transfer of power can be a notable feature of presidential transitions, and a testament to the legitimacy and durability of the electoral and democratic processes. Yet, at the same time, a variety of events, decisions, and activities contribute to what some may characterize as the unfolding drama of a presidential transition. Interparty transitions in particular might be contentious. Using the various powers available, a sitting President might use the transition period to attempt to secure his legacy or effect policy changes. Some observers have suggested that, if the incumbent has lost the election, he might try to enact policies in the waning months of his presidency that would “tie his successor’s hands.” On the other hand, a President-elect, eager to establish his policy agenda and populate his Administration with his appointees, will be involved in a host of decisions and activities, some of which might modify or overturn the previous Administration’s actions or decisions. Both the incumbent and the newly elected President can act unilaterally, through executive orders, recess appointments, and appointments to positions that do not require Senate confirmation. Additionally, a President can appoint individuals to positions that require Senate confirmation, and a presidential administration can influence the pace and substance of agency rulemaking. The disposition of government records (including presidential records and vice presidential records), the practice of “burrowing in” (which involves the conversion of political appointees to career status in the civil service), and the granting of pardons are three activities associated largely with the outgoing President’s Administration.

  • Opening of the Solemn Debate with President François Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel
    European Parliament President Martin Schulz Opening of the solemn debate with President François Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel Speeches Internal Policies and EU Institutions Strasbourg 07-10-2015 Monsieur le Président de la République Française, Sehr geehrte Frau Bundeskanzlerin, I extend a warm welcome to you both. This is an historic moment: the President of France and the Chancellor of Germany, here in the European Parliament - the home of European democracy - in Strasbourg - the symbol of Franco-German reconciliation - speaking today, together, about the future of Europe. For centuries, Germany and France were arch-enemies - trapped in a vicious circle of war, defeat, humiliation and revenge. Millions more had to die, with Europe destroyed, before there was reconciliation between the two states - thanks to the courage of Charles de Gaulle and Konrad Adenauer. That was one more historic step on the road to peace in Europe. Without reconciliation between France and Germany, the European unification process would never have been able to develop as it has. But, by the same token, without European unification, Franco-German friendship of the closeness we see today would certainly have been unthinkable. Through school exchanges and town twinning schemes, millions of people have found new friends and somewhere else they can call home. Monsieur le Président de la République Française, Sehr geehrte Frau Bundeskanzlerin, It is 26 years since Helmut Kohl and François Mitterrand made a joint address to the European Parliament; you are the first heads of state or government, since then, to follow their example. In what are difficult times for Europe, when we have unprecedented challenges to deal with, you have come to Strasbourg to debate with the Members of the European Parliament.
