STUDENT NOTE Don’t Let Slip the DoGs of War: An ArGument for ReclassifyinG Military WorkinG DoGs as “Canine Members of the Armed Forces” Michael J. Kranzler ∗ Abstract Dogs have been an integral part of military activities around the world dating back more than two thousand years. They have fended off invasions and helped bring down one of the world’s most notorious terrorist leaders. Yet under current law, they are afforded nearly the same protections as a torn uniform or a jammed rifle, classified in the United States Code as “excess equipment.” Historically, this led to hundreds of dogs being euthanized each year because the United States had no legal obligation to bring this excess equipment home at the end of their deployments. -

Weaponized mass migration – so-called sociological warfare – has become a recent addition to the hybrid warfare arsenal, whereby masses of civilians are displaced to enemy territory to cause mass confusion. This is part of a current trend of blurring the line between war and peace. Alongside the rise of modern Hybrid Warfare, the EU has become an important global and regional actor, but largely lacks a traditional Grand Strategy. -

WHO CONTROLS IMMIGRATION JUDGES?: TOWARDS A MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL MODEL OF ADMINISTRATION JUDGE BEHAVIOR by Mark Richard Beougher A dissertation submitted to the Graduate College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Political Science Western Michigan University December 2016 Doctoral Committee: Mark Hurwitz, Ph.D. J. Kevin Corder, Ph.D. Ashlyn Kuersten, Ph.D. Robert Howard, Ph.D. WHO CONTROLS IMMIGRATION JUDGES?: TOWARDS A MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL MODEL OF ADMINISTRATION JUDGE BEHAVIOR Mark Richard Beougher, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2016 Numerous studies have shown dramatic variations in the rates that immigration judges grant asylum. What these studies have failed to adequately explain as of yet is why? In attempting to understand the behavior of immigration judges in asylum cases, scholars have generally taken one of two approaches, either examining immigration judge behavior through top-down bureaucratic models or with models developed through the study of the judiciary. -
Pushbacks and Lack of Accountability at the Greek-Turkish Borders Roberto Cortinovis No
Pushbacks and lack of accountability at the Greek-Turkish borders Roberto Cortinovis No. 2021-01, February 2021 Abstract Amid escalating geopolitical tension with Turkey, in March 2020 the Greek authorities announced a hardline approach towards asylum seekers attempting to cross its land and sea borders with Turkey. The framing of cross-border movements as a ‘threat’ to the country’s national security served to justify a derogation from the human rights standards and procedural guarantees that are granted to people seeking protection under EU law. Since then, a pattern of systematic pushbacks at the border and informal returns represents the most visible expression of this hardening of border policies at the EU’s south-eastern borders. This paper analyses the negative impact of this heavily securitised approach on asylum seekers’ fundamental rights, in particular its implications for the right to asylum that underpins the Common European Asylum System (CEAS). The paper also reflects on the limits and ambiguities that have characterised the EU’s response to the situation at the Greek-Turkish borders, focusing on the role and responsibilities of the Frontex Agency. It underlines the need for the EU to remedy the shortcomings in existing accountability mechanisms, to guarantee effective remedies for victims of fundamental rights violations at the border. Establishing a sustainable human- rights-compliant management of migration in the eastern Mediterranean also requires that the EU move away from its focus on containing and restricting asylum seekers’ mobility – a focus that has characterised cooperation on migration and asylum with Turkey within the framework of the 2016 EU-Turkey Statement. -
Being Nosey by Linda Tynan
Aside from the most valuable role they serve, as our companions, we are learning that our canine friends have a lot more to offer than we ever realized. The role of the dog has expanded greatly over the years from “wardogs” used by the Greeks and Romans to therapy dogs used to treat PTSD in soldiers returning from war today. Dogs now play many important roles in our society and their value to us becomes more apparent with each new talent we discover. Cave drawings show dogs hunting with men during the stone ages. The Greeks and Romans probably were the first users of dogs in warfare, sending formations of attack dogs with spiked armor into enemy lines. The British used two types of dogs to assist in exterminating the native population of Jamestown in 1610: Bloodhounds to hunt them down and Mastiffs to grab them. In early American history, Bloodhounds continued to serve troops for tracking. In Europe during World War I, an estimated 50,000 dogs were trained as sentries, scouts, ammunition carriers, messengers and casualty dogs. By World War II, the Germans had trained nearly 200,000 war dogs. The attack on Pearl Harbor triggered the use of dogs in the United States Air Force as sentry dogs in both Europe and the Pacific, and their service in the military continues today. Dogs have not only proven to be valuable in military service, but their ability to assist us has proven to be priceless in a growing number of specialty areas. BEING Nosey By Linda Tynan Dogs have been man’s companion for thousands of years, assisting with herding, hunting and providing protection for their human friends. -

We seek studies that engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with mo- ments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how literature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present.
