To Be, Or Not to Be…German, Russian, Or Ethnic German: Ethnic Self-Labeling Among Adolescent Ethnic German Immigrants To Be, Or Not to Be…German, Russian, or Ethnic German: Ethnic Self-Labeling Among Adolescent Ethnic German Immigrants Dissertation Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grads Doctor philosophiae (Dr. Phil.) Vorgelegt dem Rat der Fakultät für Sozial- und Verhaltenswissenschaften der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena von Dipl.-Psych. Muriel Kim Helbig geboren am 06.01.1975 in Washington, D.C. Gutachter 1. 2. 3. Tag des Koll oquiums: Acknowledgements 3 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisors: Rainer K. Silbereisen for closely guiding my progress (my utmost respect for those quick replies to my reports) and for providing me with wonderful possibilities to travel, teach, present, meet people, and experience academia. Eva Schmitt- Rodermund for her pragmatic, spirited comments and for fun classes taught together. Peter Noack for his support of my work. I would like to thank our participants, especially those adolescents that allowed me to come to their homes and bombard them with questions. I appreciate the support we received from schools, teachers, and parents. I would like to thank the IGC and everyone at the Wildstraße. My primary office mates Susan and trendy Mauro, the sporting team, the entire ground-floor. Jörg, for creating such a friendly and supportive environment. Ilga and Maya for becoming friends. Everyone for your amazing support, much laughter, and making this office building a very special place. And finally, thank you for mostly being unimpressed by Kirya’s (and my own) barking… I would like to thank the faculty and the DFG for providing a wonderful setting. I would like to thank the department of developmental psychology, my other academic home. Peter, for being such a fair and supportive tandem and travel partner. Annett, because without a darling secretary like you, life is hell. Claudia, for cake and advice and laughter. Elke, for your practical way of commenting on life’s questions (not only concerning discriminant analysis). Deepali, for having breakfast in the evening, if necessary. Lastly (but only because of the recency-effect), I would like to thank my family, who deserves highest marks in social (and any other kind of) support. My Mom, for being much cooler than during the Abitur and my studies. For always showing interest in my work and for down-to-earth comments (“so what?”). Gerdus, for steadily and continuously believing in me - whether at age three or 30 - and for being a true fan. Stephan, for enduring panic, hysterical laughter, mood-swings, last-minute changes in life plans, unconventional work-hours, and teeth- grinding nights. For remaining calm and good-natured and… for taking the dog out!

  • Hezbollah's Threat in Germany
    Hezbollah’s Threat in Germany: AN UPDATED OVERVIEW OF ITS PRESENCE AND THE GERMAN RESPONSE Jasmine Williams (Research Assistant, ICT) Spring 2014 ABSTRACT Former CIA director, George Tenet testified that the capability and presence of Hezbollah is equal, if not more capable than that of al-Qaeda.1 Tenet made this statement in 2003, over a decade ago, and Hezbollah has only further expanded its operations as it continues to evolve and function as a hybrid organization with political, social, and terrorist components, as well as expanding its network outside of its home base of Lebanon. As many focus on the growing presence of Hezbollah operations in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, Hezbollah’s presence in Europe is quite fascinating, Germany in particular. Within German borders, the group has built a strong presence, as there is known to be over 1000 operatives within its borders to date.1 It is important to note what factors have caused such localized German mobilization. This paper will provide an updated overview of Hezbollah operations in the Federal Republic of Germany and its government reaction and weaknesses. The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT) 2 Table of Contents INTRODUCTION...................................................................................................................................... 3 HEZBOLLAH STRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS IN GERMANY ..................................................

  • Iran Sanctions
    Iran Sanctions Updated April 6, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RS20871 SUMMARY RS20871 Iran Sanctions April 6, 2021 Successive Administrations and Congresses have used economic sanctions to try to change Iran’s behavior. U.S. sanctions on Iran—primarily “secondary sanctions” on Kenneth Katzman firms that conduct certain transactions with Iran—have adversely affected Iran’s Specialist in Middle economy but have arguably not, to date, altered Iran’s pursuit of core strategic Eastern Affairs objectives including its support for regional armed factions and its development of missiles. Sanctions did contribute to Iran’s decision to enter into a 2015 agreement that put limits on its nuclear program— the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). During 2011-2015, in implementation of deliberate U.S. policy, global economic sanctions contributed to the shrinking of Iran’s economy as its crude oil exports fell by more than 50% and it could not access its foreign exchange assets abroad. Upon Iran’s implementation of nuclear program restrictions stipulated by the JCPOA, the Obama Administration eased the relevant sanctions and U.N. and European Union sanctions were lifted as well. Remaining in place were U.S. sanctions on direct trade with Iran and on Iran’s support for regional armed factions, its human rights abuses, and on its efforts to acquire missile and advanced conventional weapons technology. U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231, which endorsed the JCPOA, kept in place an existing ban on its importation or exportation of arms (which expired on October 18, 2020) and a nonbinding restriction on Iran’s development of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles (until October 18, 2023).
