  • The Shifting Sands of Djibouti
    DECEMBER 2019 ISSUE NO. 331 The Shifting Sands of Djibouti MONTY KHANNA ABSTRACT In spite of Djibouti being one of the smallest nations in Africa, its strategic location coupled with the shifting geo-politics of the region have increased its relevance manifold. Various events have influenced the position of Djibouti in the international reckoning: the secession of Eritrea from Ethiopia, the ‘Global War on Terror’, and increasing piracy off the Horn of Africa. Today Djibouti has the distinction of hosting military bases of four major countries, including China’s first overseas base. China has also started making deep inroads into the economy of Djibouti. This has created a large vulnerability for the United States, France and Japan, all of which depend on China-controlled ports for the sustenance of their bases.

I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of <83,157> words. iii Abstract The military has been a symbol of nationhood and state control for the past two hundred years. As representatives of a society’s cultural values and political ambitions, the armed forces have traditionally been held within the confines of the modern state. Today, however, soldiers are expected to operate in the shadows of conflicts, drawing little attention to themselves and to their actions; they are physically and emotionally secluded from a civilian population whose governments, especially in the ‘West’, are proceeding to an unprecedented wave of demilitarisation and military budget cuts.

  • The French Strategy in Africa: France’S Role on the Continent & Its Implications for American Foreign Policy
    The French Strategy in Africa: France’s Role on the Continent & its Implications for American Foreign Policy Matt Tiritilli TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin 11 May 2017 ____________________________________________________ J. Paul Pope Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs Supervising Professor ____________________________________________________ Bobby R. Inman, Admiral, U.S. Navy (ret.) Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs Second Reader Abstract In the post-World War II era, the nature of military interventions by traditional powers has changed dramatically due to changes in political priorities and the kinds of conflicts emerging in the world. Especially in the case of the French, national security interests and the decision-making process for engaging in foreign interventions has diverged significantly from the previous era and the modern American format. France has a long history of intervention on the African continent due in part to its colonial history, but also because of its modern economic and security interests there. The aim of this thesis is to articulate a framework for describing French strategy in the region and its implications for American foreign policy decisions. Contrary to the pattern of heavy-footprint, nation building interventions by the United States during this time period, the French format can instead be characterized by the rapid deployment of light forces in the attempt to successfully achieve immediate, but moderate objectives. French policy regarding Africa is based on the principles of strategic autonomy, the maintenance their status as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and the ‘Europeanization’ of future initiatives. In order to achieve these objectives, France has pursued a foreign policy designed to allow flexibility and selectivity in choosing whether to intervene and to maintain the relative balance of power within their sphere of influence with itself as the regional stabilizer.

  • Ce Que C'est, En Français Et Form Vision, En Anglais
    Ce que c’est Hans Theys Ce que c’est Paroles d’artistes Tornado Editions 2019 Dédié à Isi Fiszman En 1983, un collègue étudiant en philosophie m’a donné ce stencil en disant que ça pourrait être intéressant pour moi d’étudier l’œuvre de Kafka sans l’interpréter. L’origine du livre que vous tenez en main se trouve dans cet acte généreux. Trente années plus tard, je me suis rendu compte qu’il s’agissait d’extraits d’un livre de Susan Sontag, traduit et dactylographié par un inconnu. Nous avons tous une sorte de rythme formel personnel. Chez les grands artistes, cette vision des formes est déjà présente en germe dans leurs premières œuvres et par la suite, leur travail consistera, dans une certaine mesure, à déployer progressivement ce rythme. […] C’est quelque chose qui échappe au contrôle de l’artiste – cela fait partie intégrante de sa nature. […] Or, moins on est conscient de son propre rythme formel, plus on a de chances, à mon avis, que celui-ci devienne plus riche, plus dense et qu’il continue de se développer. Henry Moore, 1941 Ce qui importe aujourd’hui, c’est de réhabiliter nos sens. Nous devons apprendre à voir plus, à entendre plus, à sentir plus. Notre devoir n’est pas de donner le plus de sens possible à une œuvre d’art, et encore moins d’en extraire plus de sens qu’il n’y a déjà. Notre devoir est, au contraire, de repousser le contenu de sorte que nous puissions voir la chose en soi.

  • The History of Playing Cards
    tv THE HISTORY PLAYING CARDS, WITH guttcimits of ijjtir xtst in CONJURING, FORTUNE-TELLING, AND CARD-SHARPING. Ike. hlsiov. EDITED BT THE LATE Rev. Ed. S. TAYLOR, B.A. AND OTHERS. LONDON : JOHN CAMDEN HOTTEN, PICCADILLY. 1865. n/^ /•" TWO CARICATURE CARDS FROM A PACK FORMERLY BELONGING TO THE LATE COUNT d'oRS AY. PREFACE. Five years ago I pin-chased from an eminent French publisher some tasteful wood-engravings, illustrative of the History of Playing Cards. These, with the small work in which they originally appeared, were placed in the hands of the late Rev. Ed. S. Taylor, of Onnesby St. Margaret, Great Yarmouth, as mate rial for a History of Playing Cards, English and Foreign, which he had offered to undertake for me. The readers of Notes and Queries will remember this gen tleman as the valued contributor of many curious articles to that useful periodical. His knowledge was wide and varied, although his tastes were of that peculiar kind which delights in the careful exploration of the bye-ways, rather than the high roads, of learning. The first part of the work was soon in the printers' hands, but ill-health followed, and the book proceeded slowly up to the time of the Editor's decease, two years ago. It was deemed necessary to mention this fact, as some of the references are to matters long since passed, although they are stated as of the present day. IV PREFACE. To tlie French Illustrations have been added several facsimiles of old cards from the Print-room in the British Museum, and other sources.
