Last but obviously not least, I am forever grateful to my Family. Special thanks to Zakaria DJELLOUL DAOUADJI IV Abstract This dissertation sheds light on David Cameron’s ambivalent and deliberate strategy toward the contemporary Euroscepticism. It scrutinises how this issue has left the Prime Minister David Cameron with few choices, causing him to call an ‘In-Out referendum’. Yet, in a flagging endeavour to face the economic crisis, to rein his Eurosceptic backbenchers and counter electoral threats from the other parties, Cameron launched his campaign for reform. This campaign package encompasses a pre-concession referendum for his European partners and an in-out referendum for the British people. What spurred a polemic academic debate is that Britain and the EU are drifting apart at the same time as Cameron is launching his package of reform to realise a new settlement in the EU. Therefore, to reach an accurate reading on this issue, I have divided my dissertation into three chapters. The first chapter is a theoretical framework on the key factors shaping the British integration in the EU. My ultimate research in this chapter lies first in approaching the EU from geographic, economic and social interaction between different geographical areas. This chapter further detects the major types of integration within delving into the potent tools used to measure the level and the degree of integration. In the same tend, the second chapter delves into the conceptual complexity and the operationalisation of eurosecepticism with investigating howdeeply this phenomenon run. Throughout this analysis, there is further a deep scrutiny of the factors shaping Euroscepticism in Britain. Complementarily, the third chapter unveils Cameron’s shrewdest and wistful ambivalent strategy towards Euroscepticism. Cameron’s governmental coalition, main pillars of reform and political branding played a potent role in building and branding a successful deliberate duality in managing the British-European alliance. The ultimate factors behind Blue-Yellow Coalition, the rival parties little bit excitement about the ‘In-Out Referendum’ and the major ramification of a Brexit are the major themes in this section. V Résumé Cette thèse examine la stratégie ambivalente et délibérée du Premier Ministre David Cameron vers l'euroscepticisme contemporain. Elle examine comment cette question a laissé Cameron avec peu d'options, lui faisant appeler a un Référendum le 23 Juin 2016. Dans son infructueux effort de faire face à la crise économique, de convaincre ces eurosceptiques députés, et de cesser les menaces électorales des autres partis, Cameron a lancé une campagne de réforme. La réussite de sa compagne demande un pré-référendum de concession de ses partenaires Européens et un ‘in-out référendum’ du peuple Britannique. Qui a stimulé un débat académique c’est que la Royaume Uni et l'Union européenne sont à la dérive en même temps que Cameron lance ses piliers et son paquet de réforme. Pour mettre ces deux paradoxal processus dans le même carrefour, j'ai divisé ma thèse en trois chapitres dont Le premier est une analyse théorique sur les facteurs clés qui façonnent l'intégration britannique dans l'UE. Par conséquent, ma recherche ultime dans ce chapitre c’est d'approcher l'UE de différentes' interactions (géographique, économique et sociale) entre différentes zones géographiques. Cette cession détecte en outre les principaux types d'intégration et révèle les outils puissants utilisés pour mesurer le niveau de l'intégration. Dans le même ordre, le deuxième chapitre se penche sur la complexité conceptuelle et opérationnelle de ce phénomène. Tout au long de ce chapitre, il existe de nombreux facteurs qui façonnent l'euroscepticisme au Royaume Uni. Le troisième chapitre corollairement dévoile la stratégie ambivalente de Cameron vers l'euroscepticisme contemporain. La coalition gouvernementale, les principaux piliers de réforme, et l'image de son marketing politique ont joué un grand rôle dans la construction et la réussite de sa stratégie duelle et délibérée qui a vraiment bien géré l'alliance Anglos- Européenne. Les facteurs ultimes derrière la ‘Bleu-Jaune Coalition’, l'excitation des partis rivaux sur le référendum, et les ramifications d'un Brexit sont les principaux thèmes de cette section.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. 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 material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.Thc sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Pagc(s}". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagc(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed cither blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame* If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • The Dynamics of Objectification Within Individual Identity
    THE DYNAMICS OF OBJECTIFICATION WITHIN INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY by Nicholas Caggiano B.S.Ed. (Clarion University of Pennsylvania) 2009 Portfolio Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in HUMANITIES in the GRADUATE SCHOOL of HOOD COLLEGE August 2020 Accepted: ________________________ ________________________ Corey Campion, Ph.D. Corey Campion, Ph.D. Committee Member Program Director ________________________ Didier Course, Ph.D. Committee Member ________________________ April M. Boulton, Ph.D. Dean of the Graduate School ________________________ Karen Hoffman, Ph.D. Portfolio Advisor 1 Introduction The construction of an individual’s identity is determined by a variety of factors. Each component serves as a puzzle piece in the ultimate construction of the total individual and helps determine whether and how an individual fits into their community. Being seen by others in a particular way can help construct and fortify an individual’s sense of belonging. But it can also lead to a feeling of being an outsider and not belonging. This can create a feeling of “otherness” within the individual, where they question not only their role within society but their sense of identity and agency and their value as subjects. However, even if being perceived as other or as an object can be negative, it can also be advantageous. In the portfolio that follows I demonstrate why that is the case. I begin by examining Jean-Paul Sartre’s view of how being seen as both subject and object is significant in individuals’ perceptions of each other. I then connect that to Michel Foucault’s discussion of Panopticism, which raises questions about another way of being seen, namely by an entity that is not seen in return.

  • The Discursive (Re)Construction of National Identity in Cyprus and England with Special Reference to History Textbooks: a Comparative Study
    The discursive (re)construction of national identity in Cyprus and England with special reference to history textbooks: a comparative study Klerides L. Eleftherios Institute ofEducation, University ofLondon Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment ofthe requirements for the degree of Doctor ofPhilosophy February 2008 I hereby declare that, except where explicit attribution is made, the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own . Eleftherios L. Klerides Word count (exclusive ofappendix and bibliography): 98139 words 11 Abstract This thesis is an analysis of national identity construction in Cyprus and England in two historical times: the period following the Greek and Turkish military offensives in Cyprus (1974-93), and the period ofthe Conservative administration in Britain (1979-97). It examines identity formations in history textbooks across the two settings and addresses their relationship with intellectual and political constructs ofidentity. These periods were moments of a metamorphosis of identity in both settings. This identity reconstruction was firstly materialised in the signifying practices ofpoliticians and intellectuals. As an effect ofthe emergence ofnew nationalist discourses in the political and intellectual fields was the production of new history textbooks, making it possible for the national image to be also reconstituted in and through them. New identities were articulated in the field of school history but their redefinition varied within and across the two settings. Variations within each setting were primarily determined by the particular features of the social domain in which the construction of identity took place. Across the settings, they were mainly shaped by different genres of school history writing. Despite their differences, the new identities across the two cultural settings and social fields shared certain similar motifs - fragmentation, hybridity and ambivalence.

    Name ________________________________________________ Date ___________________________ Voices that Defy Oppression (65 points) Directions: read the following documents from three voices, all of whom are defying oppression in some way, shape, or form, and do quick annotations for them (10 points) , just like you would on an in-class Question 1 essay or multiple choice test. I will grade your annotations. Then, answer the three post- reading questions thoroughly and effectively. Part One: The Documents Document 1: H. E. Mohammad Alam Ezedyar (member of the Afghani Parliament): “Fight Against Terrorism and its Threats,” 2013 …As a member of the Afghan parliament, of a country which is a great victim of terrorism and threats, I would like to emphasize this fact, that terrorism is a dangerous disease, which doesn't know any border and doesn't have any limitation in human society. The fight against terrorism is a worldwide and international attempt. Terrorism is a danger, which faces the entire human society with threats. Terrorism can face every country in every time with threats and it makes victims of human society without paying attention to religious, ethnic, linguistic, political, and geographical distinctions. Victims of terrorism are not only related to one or two specific countries or to one religion and specific ideology, ethnicity, or nation. Terrorism makes victims of different countries, nations and ethnicities… Muslims are the first and greatest victims of those terrorists who do all their heinous operations under the disguise of faith and religion. Muslims of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Syria are always victims of terrorists and their killing and burning and fire-bombing… Dear parliamentarians and distinguished guests! It is clear to all that the fight against terrorism would end in success if all the states and countries of the world take part in the fighting.

  • Margaret Thatcher, Speech at Kensington Town Hall ("Britain Awake"), 1976 Jan 19
    Margaret Thatcher, Speech at Kensington Town Hall ("Britain Awake"), 1976 Jan 19 The first duty of any Government is to safeguard its people against external aggression. To guarantee the survival of our way of life. The question we must now ask ourselves is whether the present Government is fulfilling that duty. It is dismantling our defences at a moment when the strategic threat to Britain and her allies from an expansionist power is graver than at any moment since the end of the last war. Military men are always warning us that the strategic balance is tilting against NATO and the west. But the Socialists never listen They don't seem to realise that the submarines and missiles that the Russians are building could be destined to be used against us. Perhaps some people in the Labour Party think we are on the same side as the Russians! But just let's look at what the Russians are doing. She's ruled by a dictatorship of patient, far-sighted determined men who are rapidly making their country the foremost naval and military power in the world. They are not doing this solely for the sake of self- defence. A huge, largely land-locked country like Russia does not need to build the most powerful navy in the world just to guard its own frontiers. No. The Russians are bent on world dominance, and they are rapidly acquiring the means to become the most powerful imperial nation the world has seen. The men in the Soviet politburo don't have to worry about the ebb and flow of public opinion.

Despite being elected thrice, in 1979, 1983, and 1987, Thatcher nonetheless faced a great deal of opposition. This opposition is perhaps most evident in the form of popular music in the 1980s. Two previous musical groups, the Sex Pistols and The Clash, largely laid the groundwork for the forms that opposition to Thatcher assumed. The first form of opposition was to reflect the alienation and dissatisfaction felt in society, or to simply reject Margaret Thatcher as an individual. The second form was to offer more specific critiques or responses to events or policies enacted under the administrations of Margaret Thatcher. The paper is organized
