“WAR on TERROR,” and the RISE of ISIS by EDWIN DANIEL JACOB a Disser MEDITATIONS ON THE ABYSS: AMERICAN SECURITY, THE GLOBAL “WAR ON TERROR,” AND THE RISE OF ISIS by EDWIN DANIEL JACOB A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Global Affairs Written under the direction of Stephen Eric Bronner And approved by __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________ Newark, New Jersey October 2018 © 2018 Edwin Daniel Jacob ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Meditations on the Abyss: American Security, the Global “War on Terror,” and the Rise of ISIS by Edwin Daniel Jacob Dissertation Director Stephen Eric Bronner American foreign policy has lacked a coherent strategic framework since the Cold War ended. This lack of vision is confirmed by the regional chaos that continues to plague the Middle East fifteen years after a bid to assert American hegemony in the Middle East failed in Iraq. This study contests reductionist interpretations of global insecurity in favor of what can best be understood as an ideological framework for understanding modern insecurity. It thus provides an immanent critique of American security thinking while offering suggestions for a soluble link between the theory and practice of modern security in an age mired by geostrategic challenges to state and regional powers and fractured international institutions and alliances. A critical historical and political approach is taken to determine the preconditions for today’s security failures. Unencumbered by cold war constraints from the Soviet Union, the US took on numerous unilateral and multilateral interventions ii throughout the world in the nineties and, in so doing, not only created new enemies but also set the preconditions for how America would respond when transnational terrorism touched her shores on 9/11. Operating under what I term “reified realism,” whereby power is exercised in the breach, American security practices have tended to be counterproductive: producing further insecurity through the original act of securitization— or what I deem an “in/security matrix.” This dynamic relationship becomes apparent from the standpoint of the “war on terror” presidents’ practices. Be it the unilateral preemption of Bush’s neo-conservatives or the multilateral engagement of Obama’s neo-liberals, these foreign policy models are ultimately distinguished by the means they employ to arrive at shared ends. In each instance, however, a similar phenomenon drives American security practices in this epoch of terror. “Post strategic warfare,” as I determine it, whereby ethically spurious isolated tactics replace and masquerade as strategy to fight a transnational enemy, has intensified attempts to quell security failures. Short-term exigency, which is often readily associated with security, is challenged not only in terms of ethics but also in terms of strategic utility and long-term stability—the cornerstone of the realist enterprise since its inception. Recovering realism from its usurpation will, as I argue, go a long way in reorienting American security practices today while also anticipating future ones as well. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many people to whom I owe I great debt of gratitude for seeing me though this labor of love from the initial germs of an idea to the finished product. Chief among them is my mentor and doctoral advisor, Board of Governors Professor of Science Stephen Eric Bronner. His selfless guidance of my work through the years is invaluable. I would not be the scholar, the teacher, or the person I am today without him. My sterling dissertation committee—Drs. John Ehrenberg, Yale Ferguson, and Alison Howell—provided me with sage guidance and thoughtful insights on my interpretations of international relations in general and security in particular along the way. The administrative staff of the Division of Global Affairs were always there to help. Dr. Jean-Marc Coicaud, the Director of the DGA during the majority of my tenure is as much a gentleman as he is a renowned scholar, and I am delighted to call him a friend and colleague. Dr. Gabriela Kuetting, our incoming Director, proved instrumental in assisting with logistics. And, of course, there is Ms. Ann Martin and Ms. Desirée Gordon: Their hard work and (always!) good cheer made my time at the DGA a pleasurable one. I would be remiss if I failed to mention my other institutional families within Rutgers University. Dr. Alexander Hinton and Ms. Nela Navarro at the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights are colleagues par excellence with whom I look forward to working in the future. I would also like to thank the Department of Political Science at Rutgers University. Dr. William Field, its capable undergraduate chair, gave me my first (and second and third) shot at teaching to which I am thankful for. Ms. Paulette Flowers-Yhap, Mr. Daniel Portalatin, Ms. Alicia Picone-Rodriguez, and Ms. Wendy Silverman also have my thanks for helping me navigate the bureaucratic idiosyncrasies with relative ease—no easy feat. I am fortunate to have a remarkable group iv of colleagues and former students, all of whom I count as dear friends, who afforded me honest critiques on chapter drafts that called my own assumptions into question and, as a consequence, made the finished product a better one for it. Sasha Condas, Daniel Levin, Michael Richards, Adrianna Slomicz, and, especially, Kelsey Lizotte, my long-lost twin and consummate partner in academic crime, all have my appreciation. Any mistakes, herein, are obviously solely mine and mine alone. My best friend, Jason Geraheart, as always, has my thanks for keeping me sane through the countless motorcycle rides we took to relieve my nerves. All of this, of course, would not be possible without my remarkable family. My mother, Beverly Jacob, sacrificed far more raising me as a single working-class mother than I could pay back in a thousand lifetimes. She also gave me the inspiration to enter college at the age of twenty-six when I proudly saw her complete her graduate work in library science in 2008. I owe my dear aunt, Gail “Shotsie/Sha” Pollack, much for being my Engels and editor extraordinaire since I started this journey. Lastly, I would like to thank my other family: the Krosnicks. Their son, Craig, was my best friend since we were toddlers until he left us far too soon in 2003. Thank you, Tom and Marie Krosnick, for raising him. His spirit is at my side every day and I always endeavor to live up to his example. v DEDICATION For my mother, for everything. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter I: Empire of Dreams: America’s Imperial Illusions...............................................1 Chapter II: Past Prologue: Understanding Security in an Age of Terror...........................17 I.

And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.”1 —Friedrich Nietzsche Global security stands on a precipice. War continues to engulf the Middle East and North Africa, even after ISIS’ strongholds in the failed and failing states of Iraq, Libya, and Syria from 2014 to 2017 have been decimated. ISIS’ loss of Mosul2 and Raqqa,3 its veritable home-bases of operations in Iraq and Syria, in July and October of 2017 signaled the looming defeat of ISIS, which came to fruition when its remaining holdouts in Syria, Deir ez-Zor, and Iraq, Rawa, fell in November 2017. Despite its recent defeats in Iraq and Syria, ISIS’ impact on

  • 5 / the Consequences of Legitimacy
    5 / THE CONSEQUENCES OF LEGITIMACY Legitimacy is a great social good. Sociological and psychological ac- counts stress its importance to human happiness because most indi- viduals prefer to relate to the powerful in moral rather than in self- interested terms. 1 Citizens strive to engage the state as moral agents, and a state that reciprocates will see its standing enhanced. Likewise, most rulers prefer to be esteemed rather than feared by their citizens: it is inherently desirable and it minimizes the time they spend worrying about their positions. 2 Prussian king Frederick the Great (r. 1740–86) fa- mously lamented to a courtier near the end of his life that he was “tired of ruling slaves.” 3 A legitimate state is less dominating over its citizens because the le- gitimate use of power minimizes the negative consequences of power.4 Whatever else legitimate states do for their citizens, one of the great- est public services they deliver is rightful rule itself. Political science is unique in having entire branch of philosophy attached to it for this reason: achieving rightful rule is a momentous social feat. By impli- cation, low-legitimacy states are failing to deliver an important public service, namely allowing citizens to esteem the rulers that claim their obedience. However, legitimacy’s importance does not end with its inherent value. If that were the case, its central place in the history of politi- cal thought would be inexplicable. Rather, legitimacy has instrumental benefi ts that suffuse many aspects of political life. In the last chapter, we saw how Uganda was transformed after 1986 with the coming to power of the National Resistance Movement.

My supervisors, Peter Field and Jeremy Moses, were exemplary. As my senior supervisor, Peter provided a model of a consummate historian – lively, probing, and passionate about the past. His detailed reading of my work helped to hone the thesis significantly. Peter also allowed me to use his office while he was on sabbatical in 2009. With a library of over six hundred books, the space proved of great use to an aspiring scholar. Jeremy Moses, meanwhile, served as the co-supervisor for this thesis. His research on the connections between liberal internationalist theory and armed intervention provided much stimulus for this study. Our discussions on the present trajectory of American foreign policy reminded me of the continuing pertinence of my dissertation topic.

  • Article Drone Vision
    Article Drone Vision Daniel Greene University of Maryland, US. [email protected] Abstract What does the drone want? What does the drone need? Such questions, posed explicitly and implicitly by anthropomorphized drones in contemporary popular culture, may seem like distractions from more pressing political and empirical projects addressing the Global War on Terror (GWOT). But the artifacts posing these questions offer a different way of viewing contemporary surveillance and violence that helps decouple the work of drones from justifications for drone warfare, and reveals the broader technological and political network of which drones are the most immediate manifestation. This article explores ‘drone vision’ a globally distributed apparatus for finding, researching, fixing and killing targets of the GWOT, and situates dramatizations of it within recent new materialist theoretical debates in surveillance and security studies. I model the tactic of ‘seeing like a drone’ in order to map the networks that support it. This tactic reveals a disconnect between the materials and discourses of drone vision, a disconnect I historicize within a new, imperial visual culture of war distinct from its modernist, disciplinary predecessor. I then explore two specific attempts to see like a drone: the drone art of London designer James Bridle and the Tumblr satire Texts from Drone. I conclude by returning to drone anthropomorphism as a technique for mapping the apparatus of drone vision, arguing that drone meme arises precisely in response to these new subjects

And the British government appears to be colluding in it Ian Cobain 7/14/2013 When Bilal Berjawi spoke to his wife for the last time, he had no way of being certain that he was about to die. But he should have had his suspicions. A short, dumpy Londoner who was not, in the words of some who knew him, one of the world's greatest thinkers, Berjawi had been fighting for months in Somalia with al-Shabaab, the Islamist militant group. His wife was 4,400 miles away, at home in west London. In June 2011, Berjawi had almost been killed in a US drone strike on an al-Shabaab camp on the coast. After that he became wary of telephones. But in January last year, when his wife went into labour and was admitted to St Mary's hospital in Paddington, he decided to risk a quick phone conversation. A few hours after the call ended Berjawi was targeted in a fresh drone strike. Perhaps the telephone contact triggered alerts all the way from Camp Lemmonier, the US military's enormous home-from-home at Djibouti, to the National Security Agency's headquarters in Maryland.

However, with the increase in attacks emanating from Yemen, the Obama administration has begun shifting its focus to the Arabian Peninsula. As a result, the strikes in Yemen have so far outnumbered those in Pakistan for the first time in 2012.4 Although President Obama inherited the drone program, because of the increasing frequency of strikes, his administration has become synonymous with the practice.

  • Bajoran Language
    Bajoran Language All Bajoran written languages are based on a series of ideograms; even copies of the Bajoran texts found at ancient archaeological sites share certain root ideograms. Bajoran ideogrammatic symbols are vaguely square shaped, and feature a series of complex, interconnecting swirls. In times past, the symbols were rectangular; modern Bajoran script breaks down words into their components more frequently, thus two modern symbols often correlate to a single ancient word. Bajoran spoken language also consists of many small words for simple concepts, which can combine to produce words representing more complex ideas. There are 25 basic Bajoran language symbols, which form the foundation of all ideograms. Each symbol can be used in any of eight rotations (flipped and rotated each and every way). Bajoran tends to be written in horizontal lines, although it can be written vertically. In the Bajoran alphabet, the analogue of “C” is the fourth letter, the analogue of “E” the seventh. List of Words and Language Components Edit A: Prefix signifying definite article “the”, as in a prime or model example. Aclim: An era of history. Alva: A yellow fruit. The syllabic component “va” translates to “source”, and is found in the names of other foods like Veklava and Kava. Amojan: “The Evil One” (From “A”- “the”, “Mo”- “one”, and “Jan”- “Evil”). Amoran: “The Banishment"”(From “A”- “the”, and “Moran”- “Banishment", itself derived from the syllabic roots for “one” and “aftermath”- essentially, to have become "one", cut off from others). Ara/Arra: “Place”, usually in a spiritual or figurative sense rather than denoting literal location, although as the Bajoran proverb teaches, “the land and the people are one”.
