Donahue Mare Imperium: The Evolution of Freedom of the Seas Discourse in U.S. Foreign Policy - An Addendum to Critical Security Studies Literature Connor P. Donahue (ABSTRACT) This dissertation conducts a genealogy of freedom of the seas discourse in United States foreign policy in order to problematize the contemporary representation lying at the heart of American political-military strategy in the Western Pacific. This project aims to accomplish two goals. First, this project aims to show that freedom of the seas is not an enduring historical principle consistently championed by the United States, as is often claimed in contemporary governmental publications. Rather, it shows that the current understanding is a recent phenomenon that emerged after the Second World War. By highlighting the contingency of the contemporary understanding of freedom of the seas, this work seeks to show that such discourse is not a necessary foundation on which to place American political-military strategy. The second objective of this genealogical analysis is to show that the contemporary freedom of the seas discourse in U.S.

    Copyright by Joe Powell Spaulding 1959 THE UNIVERSITY OF CKLAHOMA GRADUATE COLLEGE THE LIFE OF ALICE MARY ROBERTSON A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillm ent of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR Œ PHILOSOPHY BY JOE POWELL SPAULDING Searcy, Arkansas 19S9 THE LIFE OF ALICE MARY ROBERTSON APPROVED BY DISSERTATION COMMITTEE PREFACE A writer of a dissertation presumably knows why he has chosen the subject for his writing, but the reader probably does not know. In this instance it was a very sînçle decision. A biographical study, with Okla­ homa as the background, had an appeal for mej and the chairman of my com­ mittee suggested Alice Robertson as a subject. I have not regretted the choice. The research led me to know many interesting people and a larger number of places within the state. The experience has been enjoyable and profitable, fty understanding of the territory and state of Oklahoma has been greatly broadened, particularly in the period in which Alice Robert­ son liv e d . The purpose of this study is to present an appreciation of Alice Mary R obertson and to p o in t o u t her many c o n trib u tio n s as In d ian m ission­ ary, educator, business woman, benefactor, and congresswoman. These con­ tributions were all the more notable for having been made at a time when women in public life were considered out of place. The method of approach is chronological. After a chapter of back­ ground information which deals with her ancestry, the study moves on from the circumstances of her birth at Tullahassee, Indian Territory, in I85 I4., to her death at Muskogee, Oklahoma, in 1931.

  • The Camerons of Donegal by HERBERT H
    The Camerons of Donegal BY HERBERT H. BECK In the Government of the United States no family of Penn- sylvania has played so prominent a part as the Camerons. For a father, Simon Cameron, and son, James Donald Cameron, were both Senators of Congress, with a total of forty years of service in the Senate, and both United States Secretaries of War. This father and son succession in the Senate and in the President's Cabinet cannot be equalled by any family in the state, possibly in the nation. Nor can the Cameron political dynasty, which Simon and his son maintained with powerful influence for over forty years, be matched elsewhere. The Camerons are descendants of ancient Clan Cameron in Scotland. The coat of arms of Clan Cameron is still on the walls of the family homestead at Donegal Springs. Within Clan Cam- eron, those of the name who came to Pennsylvania and Virginia were of the Lochiel family. Henry Clay Cameron, of the Virginia branch, in 1892 visited the Castle of Lochiel in Scotland and re- turned to America with this firm clan tradition, which he found there: There were four Cameron brothers, two "wise," two "fool- ish." The "foolish" ones entered into the uprising that spread over Scotland and terminated in the battle of Colloden in 1745. Duncan of Fertinish, great-grandfather of the visitor to Lochiel Castle, and Donald of Perth, great-grandfather of Senator Simon Cameron, were those two "foolish" brothers who had to flee for their lives after the calamitous Colloden. The two "wise" brothers, who took no part in the uprising, were in better luck.
