While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

SIGNED: PREFACE Like the. other Latin American republics, Panama has its own corps of intellectuals. The names of Eusebio A. Morales and Jose D. Moscote may mean little to the rest of the world, but to Panamanians they are well known. The intellectual is an important person in Panama. His writings are widely read, and his role in society is respected. Consequently, intellectuals have played an important part in the development of the Republic of Panama. They have criticized the nation's faults, recommended changes, and sought reforms. While their ideas were not always original, these men were, nonetheless, responsible for a fundamental change in the nation's political philosophy. Partly due to Panama's unique geographical charac­ teristics, the role of Panamanian intellectuals in the country's development has been neglected. Any mention of Panama nearly always conjures up comments on the canal and United States involvement there. The canal and Panama are synonymous to many people, and there are even those who believe the isthmian republic to be a possession of the United States. Such misconceptions may be attributed partly to the long United States dominance of what is known as the zona del transito. but a portion of the blame must also fall upon Latin Americanists who have favored research on the iv V canal .question over the othei- aspects of the republic's history. With a few important exceptions, the majority of English language studies on Panama fall into the categories of travel literature or canal diplomacy. Panamanians have done little better. At the time of this writing, no definitive history of the republic has been published in Spanish. With an occasional exception, the majority of Panamanian authors have limited themselves either to the canal question or to pamphlet-length discussions on specific topics. Unquestionably, the canal is an important asset to Panama. But the importance of this one facet of Panama's history has created a void in studies treating the remainder of the nation's development. It is hoped that this disser­ tation, which emphasizes intellectual aspects of twentieth- century Panama, will help to end the neglect of non-canal topics. Because of the overlapping of different themes, it is impossible to treat the ideas of individual intellectuals separately in this study. Therefore, the various men and their ideas have been grouped into general categories and rough chronological periods in an effort to establish continuity, and to emphasize the progression of the concept of social justice. The account of this process does not include a year-by-year description of the political struggles involved. Instead, it is a study of the vi intellectual process by which a whole series of reform concepts were accepted by the political system and, ultimately, incorporated into the nation's constitution. It should also be noted that this dissertation deals only with the acceptance of the concept of social reforms, not the implantation of them. To determine whether or not Panama has achieved any degree of social equality would necessitate another study. Consequently, this investigation is limited to the intellectual themes involved in the acceptance of social reform as a desirable socio-political end. Hopefully, it will contribute to a better under­ standing of Panama's quest for a more equitable society. The research for this dissertation was made finan­ cially possible by a grant from the Organization of American States. I would like to thank the parent organiza­ tion in Washington, D. C. for approving the project and for providing the necessary funds. Thanks are also due to the staff of the Panama OAS office for their courteous coopera­ tion during my stay in Panama. Special thanks are also due to Dr. George A. Brubaker of The University of Arizona who initiated my interest in this topic and provided many valuable suggestions for the final draft. While in Panama, I had the opportunity to confer with Dr. Carlos M. Gasteazoro, Professor Rodrigo Miro, and Dr. Ricuarte Soler, three of Panama's leading historians. My thanks to each of them for their interest in my topic, vii and for the suggestions they gave me regarding the location of source materials. Their suggestions saved considerable time in the initial stages of my research. The staff members of the Canal Zone Library, the National Library of Panama, the National Archives of Panama, and the University of Panama Library were also most courteous and helpful. I would like to thank all of them for the privilege of using their facilities. Without their cooperation this study would not have been possible. Finally, I must thank my wife Beverly for her encouragement and for her assistance in preparing the manuscript. Because of her inquisitive interest in Latin America, and in this study in particular, she was able to provide many astute criticisms in the early stages of writing.

  • Colombian Nationalism: Four Musical Perspectives for Violin and Piano
    COLOMBIAN NATIONALISM: FOUR MUSICAL PERSPECTIVES FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO by Ana Maria Trujillo A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Major: Music The University of Memphis December 2011 ABSTRACT Trujillo, Ana Maria. DMA. The University of Memphis. December/2011. Colombian Nationalism: Four Musical Perspectives for Violin and Piano. Dr. Kenneth Kreitner, Ph.D. This paper explores the Colombian nationalistic musical movement, which was born as a search for identity that various composers undertook in order to discover the roots of Colombian musical folklore. These roots, while distinct, have all played a significant part in the formation of the culture that gave birth to a unified national identity. It is this identity that acts as a recurring motif throughout the works of the four composers mentioned in this study, each representing a different stage of the nationalistic movement according to their respective generations, backgrounds, and ideological postures. The idea of universalism and the integration of a national identity into the sphere of the Western musical tradition is a dilemma that has caused internal struggle and strife among generations of musicians and artists in general. This paper strives to open a new path in the research of nationalistic music for violin and piano through the analyses of four works written for this type of chamber ensemble: the third movement of the Sonata Op. 7 No.1 for Violin and Piano by Guillermo Uribe Holguín; Lopeziana, piece for Violin and Piano by Adolfo Mejía; Sonata for Violin and Piano No.3 by Luís Antonio Escobar; and Dúo rapsódico con aires de currulao for Violin and Piano by Andrés Posada.

It examines how Panamanian politics and Panama’s relationship with the United States changed over the decades leading up to this new treaty. The Panama Railway and then the Panama Canal placed Panama in a unique position within the growing American Empire as the isthmus linked the United States to the resources it needed to fuel its domestic industry and to markets for its manufactured goods. Recurrent political unrest and economic challenges within Panama forced the Panamanian government to attempt to renegotiate its relationship with the United States. This work analyzes the changes within Panamanian society, United States foreign relations, and world affairs that led to the 1936 treaty succeeding where other treaty negotiations had not.

  • Panama and Noriega: “Our SOB” Scott Rosenberg
    Panama and Noriega: “Our SOB” Scott Rosenberg On December 20, 1989, approximately twenty seven thousand American troops invaded Panama with the goals of apprehending Panama’s military dictator and de facto leader General Manuel Noriega and restoring democracy throughout the country. The invasion occurred a year and a half after two Florida grand juries indicted General Noriega on federal drug trafficking charges and after he had survived months of economic sanctions and back-channel tactics aimed at forcing him out. The morning following the invasion, President George H.W. Bush addressed the nation and described the objectives and reasons for “Operation Just Cause,” revealing that “the goals of the United States have been to safeguard the lives of Americans, to defend democracy in Panama, to combat drug trafficking, and to protect the integrity of the Panama Canal treaty.”i In retrospect, however, it appears clear that the United States could have rightly used the same justifications six years earlier, shortly after General Noriega assumed power in 1981. Why did the U.S. government wait so long, and what finally prompted it to invade and forcibly oust him in 1989? Historians have argued that Noriega’s drug trafficking and election tampering forced the United States’ hand, but I believe that it was his arrogance and utter lack of responsiveness to U.S. demands that eventually sealed his fate. Noriega had been involved in the international narcotics trade for years,ii and began installing puppet Panamanian presidents through election fraud as early as 1984, but the United States was willing to accept this activity because of his cooperation with what was perceived to be greater U.S.

Conflict, Postconflict, and the Functions of Higher Education: Lessons from Colombia and other Armed Conflicts Dissertation by: Iván Francisco Pacheco Dissertation Director: Philip G. Altbach Abstract “Education and conflict” has emerged as a new field of study during the last two decades. However, higher education is still relatively absent from this debate as most of the research has focused on primary and non-formal education. This dissertation is an exploratory qualitative study on the potential role of higher education in peacebuilding processes. The conceptual framework for the study is a taxonomy of the functions of higher education designed by the author. The questions guiding the dissertation are: 1) What can we learn about the role of higher education in conflict and postconflict from the experience of countries that have suffered internal conflicts in the last century? 2) How are universities in Colombia affected by the ongoing armed conflict in the country? 3) How can Colombian higher education contribute to build sustainable peace in the country? ! ! First, based on secondary sources, the dissertation explores seven armed conflicts that took place during the twentieth century.

The twelve-count in- dictment accused Noriega of accepting a $4.6 million bribe from the Medellin cartel to protect shipments of cocaine, launder money, sup- ply drug labs, and shield drug traffickers from the law. It also ac- cused Noriega of allowing smugglers to use Panama as a way station for United States-bound cocaine, using his official position to provide protection for international drug traffickers, and arranging for the 2 shipment of cocaine-processing chemicals.
