For the most recent time period (2001–2018) index A was calculated to compare the frequency of effigy protests between countries. Index A was simplified (index B) and converted into a color-code for a map (Appendix 2) that shows the global spread and frequency of effigy protests for the years 2001–2018.

the collection are crossed out. ** Source: Using the most recent year of census or population estimates according to the data on each country’s entry in Wikipedia. *** To get an idea how common and wide-spread and effigy protests have in different countries in the years 2001 - 2018, an effigy index was calculated. Since it cannot be expected that the number of effigy protests in a country grows directly proportionately with the population size, it was deemed necessary to decouple to some degree the index from the population number. Using the direct ratio of effigy protests per million of population would give small countries with a relatively low number of effigy protests around just one prominent conflict a disproportionately high number compared with large countries, where a large number of effigy protests occurred addressing a large variety of political conflicts.

OR, FOUR MEN IN A BATEAU (213 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Natasha Levinson, Ph. D. Dozens of academic studies over the course of the past four or five decades have shown empirically that Catholic schools, according to a wide array of standards and measures, are the best schools at producing good American citizens. This dissertation proposes that this is so is partly because the schools are infused with the Catholic ethos (also called the Catholic Imagination or the Analogical Imagination) and its approach to the world in general. A large part of this ethos is based upon Catholic Anthropology, the Church’s teaching about the nature of the human person and his or her relationship to other people, to Society, to the State, and to God.

  • The Rise of Iran: an Identity Fight to Challenge the Existing Power Establishment Contesting US Hegemony, Israeli, and Sunni Powers in the Middle East
    International Journal of Liberal Arts and Social Science ISSN: 2307-924X www.ijlass.org The Rise of Iran: An Identity Fight to Challenge the Existing Power Establishment Contesting US Hegemony, Israeli, and Sunni Powers in the Middle East. Lina Haddad Kreidie, PhD University of Ca, Irvine faculty, is currently teaching at the American University of Beirut classes on Psychology of International conflict, Islamic political thought, and Iranian politics. Extensive work on identity politics and has presented at many academic conferences such International Society of Political Psychology, WAPSA, among others on “ fighting Identities: Sectarian Narrative in the Construction of Collective Identity in a Religiously Diverse Countries.” Some of her publications include a chapter on “Deciphering the Construals of Islamic Fundamentalists” in The Future of Identity, Edited by Ken Hoover; and on “The psychological dimensions of Ethnic conflict in the International Journal of Politics, Culture and Society. Vincent Bozonier Education: BA Political Science in International Affairs; BA in Sociology (both from UC Riverside); and a certificate degree in Middle Eastern Studies at UC Irvine. Abstract Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, Iran is actively engaged in challenging the existing establishments to include the United States, Israel, and pro-American Sunni powers. The Iranian political maneuvering produced a ripple of waves over the years, specifically as Iraq became the first Arab-Shiite dominated state, the alliance and support of Hezbollah in its 2006 war with Israel, and its cunning management of its nuclear energy program. Amidst the current Middle East geopolitical restructuring; Iran continues to pose as a major regional player. This paper argues that Iran’s strategies has been based on three main identity narratives: (1) the global fight of the Oppressed against the Oppressor; (2) the regional discourse of Islamism; and (3) the particularistic dialogue that empowers the Shiites of the region following Khomeini’s contemporary Velayat-e faqih concept.

Open access publication of this issue is made possible by the Journal of Contemporary Antisemitism, published by Academic Studies Press. Welcome to the Guest Editors When I first spoke to Lesley Klaff about the possibility of JSA hosting ESA conference papers, I was not exactly certain what was involved. For several years, ESA’s roster of paper presentations was top notch and often included key conceptualizations not found elsewhere. I wanted to make certain that some of the field’s best thinkers were receiving their due. JSA was located in North America, ESA was located in Europe and the gap needed to be bridged. My appreciation to Karin Stoegner and her team for their perseverance in making such fine work available to others. The papers have in common a distinct European flavor—they are nuanced and contextual driven. Except for David Patterson, the authors are European offering their perspective from what has become ground zero in displays of the new antisemitism. Europe is also ground zero for the old antisemitism and the context of the Holocaust affords certain insights that North Americans have yet to fully understand.
