    HISTORY 574--WORLD WAR II IN THE PACIFIC University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of History Spring 1994 Mr. McCoy I. COURSE REQUIREMENTS:- Course Description: Through reading and discussion, students will reflect upon the issues of colonialism and geopolitical power in the Asia-Pacific region during the era of the Great Pacific War, 1931 to 1945. Rather than focusing narrowly on the wartime period, the readings will try to place the war in a broad context of causality and consequences. Aside from providing a basic fund of facts and interpretations, the course will develop the students' essential academic skills-­ searching for data, synthesizing sources, using primary documents, and critically analyzing infonnation. Moreover, the course will emphasize clarity in the written and oral expression of ideas. Class Meetings: Wednesday, 4:00 to 6:00 pm. Attendance is compulsory and is a factor in grading. Office Hours: Mondays 4-6, Rm 5131 Humanities, or by appointment. Readings: There is no single text or group of texts capable of meeting the broad agenda of the course. Instead, the syllabus lists a number of similar readings for each topic to allow students a choice in case the main reading is not on the shelf. In preparation for each meeting, students should read a selection from the "required readings," and use the "background readings" for alternative sources or for preparation of essays. The undergraduate library in Helen C. White will hold 50 of the main books in this course on three-hour reserve, but all journal articles will have to be searched from the stacks. Selecting and skimming as time and interest allow, students should finish at least four readings per week.

  • Oceanic Revolution and Pacific Asia
    123 Oceanic Revolution and Pacific Asia John Curtis Perry The ocean forms perhaps the only common denominator of Pacific Asia and it seems a useful port of entry for any exploration of the interna- tional history of the region. What follows are merely broad and introduc- tory observations intending to provide a global maritime background for the events that have occurred there in modern times. In human affairs, the sea plays the role of avenue, arena, and source. It is an avenue for the flow of goods and resources, traditionally for people as well as ideas, and an arena for struggle and combat. Furthermore, the sea provides a source of foodstuffs and minerals, and will offer perhaps much else in the future. Now a frontier of opportunity, it is also a frontier of challenge. How we can exploit these resources without severely damaging the natural environment or inflaming national passions is a daunting task, especially in Pacific Asia where tensions are already high. Changing uses of the ocean have carried specific consequences to Pacific Asia. Focusing on the early nineteenth century to the present, we can cast these two centuries in terms of “oceanic revolution,” a phenom- enon that has unfolded in three major episodes, two of which happened during this period and one much earlier. Revolution may now be an overly used term, but in measure of how the ocean is used, it seems apt. Though lacking the drama of political revolution, like the agricultural or the indus- trial revolutions, oceanic revolution has unfolded in a protracted series of spasmodic change reshaping the world.

  • Weather Risk and the World Food Program 2003 M.A.L.D
    WEATHER RISK AND THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAM ATHESIS PRESENTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE FLETCHER SCHOOL OF LAW AND DIPLOMACY BY BENJAMIN DANIEL MAZZOTTA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY MAY 2011 DISSERTATION COMMITTEE DANIEL W. DREZNER, CHAIR JENNY C. AKER PATRICK WEBB i Abstract Weather risk management is a set of financial products including insurance, catastrophe bonds, and derivative contracts based on seasonal precipitation and temperature. Interna- tional organizations have recently put their toes in the water to see whether insurance and weather derivatives can help them secure conditional access to necessary funds for pre- dictable emergencies. Ethiopia is the epicenter of financial innovation for food security, first in the form of a pilot weather insurance program at World Food Program, and sub- sequently with a risk financing program in the Productive Safety Nets Program. Why did these organizations innovate in this way? Financial theory predicts that firms optimize a portfolio of hedged and unhedged cash flows to protect the organization from risk. Rational choice predicts that firms seek the greatest possible access to funds while preserving the greatest latitude for operational independence. I show that the safety net program seeks to improve foresight and transparency over its program objectives, rather than credibility with international creditors or even operational partners in the field. I analyze the deci- sions made by WFP and PSNP related to financial risk management, using process tracing and grounded theory. Applications of the research include contract design for international humanitarian assistance, and potentially a market opportunity for financial services in the international public sector.
