Varayudej, Same. "The international deep seabed mining regime and third states." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 1993. https://hdl.handle.net/2123/26618.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the legal effects on third States of the deep seabed mining regime embodied in the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention. As a general rule, a treaty can neither impose obligations, nor confer rights, upon a third State without its consent. However, the thesis argues that the legal position of the third States could be affected by the Convention's regime in one or more of the following ways: namely, the objective legal personality of the International Seabed Authority, the customary status of the common heritage principle, the concept of an "objective regime" and the concept of an obligation erga omnes. The thesis examines these concepts in turn, relying on the assumption that the Convention (including Part XI) will come into force in its present form with widespread acceptance from many States including some major industrialized States, and that some States, particularly the US, will remain non-parties to the Convention. Finally, the thesis examines the interim obligations of certain industrialized States which are signatories to the Convention in the context of the compatibility of the reciprocating States regime with the Convention's regime.

Borovan, Nicole A. "The Canada-United States Safe Third Country Agreement : a constitutional analysis." Thesis, McGill University, 2006. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=98604.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the Safe Third Country Agreement between Canada and the United States from the perspective of Canada's obligations vis-a-vis asylum seekers under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Safe Third Country Agreement requires asylum seekers to lodge their refugee claims in the first country of arrival, as between Canada and the United States. Asylum seekers on the United States side of the border who are seeking to enter Canada for the purpose of claiming refugee status will be deflected to the United States to lodge their claims there. By deflecting asylum seekers in this manner, Canada effectively conscripts the United States to carry out its obligations under the Charter to furnish procedural and substantive protections to asylum seekers. This thesis examines certain features of the United States asylum system to which asylum seekers deflected under the Safe Third Country Agreement would be subjected, in order to determine whether, according to relevant Charter jurisprudence, deflection constitutes a deprivation of security of the person under section 7 of the Charter and whether such deprivation can be justified under section 1.

Full textAbstract:
This project analyzes the various opinions in the United States of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis during the 1930s and studies the amount of information that was available in the United States regarding Nazi Germany before entering World War II. Specifically, it seeks to understand why the United States did relatively little to influence German and European affairs even in the face of increasing Nazi brutality and bellicosity. The analysis has been divided into three different categories. The first focuses on the United States government, and the President and Secretary of State in particular. The second category analyzes the minority opinion in the United States that had Nazi sympathies. Finally, the third deals with the American public in general. The evidence suggests that there was enough information regarding Nazi Germany for Americans to make a reasonable judgment. Most of the United States was opposed to Nazism and the German government. In spite of this, the majority agreed that the United States should not intervene or enter war. This study is significant because it helps shed further light on a debate in the country that continues to the present day: what role should the United States have when it comes to world affairs? The research in this thesis suggests that, in spite of opposition by the American public, if there is enough verifiable evidence of a humanitarian crisis to justify intervention, the government should act.B.A.

FERRI, NICOLA. "Trade measures for conservation of fisheries and third states: an evolutionary trend in international law." Doctoral thesis, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10281/29835.
Full textAbstract:
Over the last 2 centuries international law in relation to the law of the sea and fisheries has been progressively evolving. For a long time, general norms of international law, such as the principle of freedom of fishing in the high seas and the principle of pacta tertiis, have been immutable. The situation has drastically changed with the emergence of a modern approach to fisheries after the UNCED in 1992. Developments occurred ever since, most notably at regional level within RFMOs, attest to the existence of new norms. These norms mainly revolve around a duty of cooperation for all fishing States, including those that ar not Parties to RFMOs. Non Parties that fish in disregard of conservation measures in place are targeted through the adoption of trade measures against them. This recent practice might violate the legal framework established under the WTO. However, it seems possible to avoid conflicts between trade measures and the WTO by ensuring mutual supportiveness between environmental norms and trade norms. This ultimately demonstrates that trade measures against third States can be adopted and, consequently, the evolution of international law in relation to the law of the sea and fisheries.

Shaw, Dallas Eugene Jr. "Harsh and Philanthropic War: U.S. Success and Failure in Third Party Counterinsurgency." Diss., Virginia Tech, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/89927.
Full textAbstract:
Before 1950, the United States intervened in large scale counterinsurgencies twice as often and intervened almost exactly as long as interventions after 1950. Yet, U.S. supported states developed before 1950 tended to survive an average thirty years after U.S. withdrawal. In contrast, U.S. supported states after 1950 have tended to survive only three years. The central question of this examination is why did U.S. military counterinsurgency (COIN) interventions before 1950 produce host-nation governments and host nation security forces that tended to endure ten times longer than interventions after 1950?
My central argument is that when the U.S. military deeply embeds within and inhabits host-nation institutions (institution inhabiting strategies) then, state longevity improves in the course of counterinsurgency (COIN) interventions. Inversely, when the U.S. military employs strategies of lower embeddedness (institution influencing strategies) then, state longevity decreases in the course of counterinsurgency (COIN) interventions. I compare cases of intervention in tabula rasa or erased governance in the Philippines 1898-1913 and Iraq 2003-2010. The former employed high degrees of embeddedness in both governance and security development and the latter low degrees in both. I also compare cases of intervention in existing governance in Nicaragua 1912-1933 and Vietnam 1964-1972. The former employed a high degree of embeddedness in host-nation security force development and a low degree in host-nation government development while and the latter employed low degrees in both. My research finds a correlation between degree of embeddedness in developing security and governance and state longevity after withdrawal of U.S. forces.
The implications for this study are salient today. Where state fragility has progressed to the point where intervention by conventional military force is required to arrest it, institution influencing strategies like Advise and Assist are insufficient. And while trusteeship forms of relation have been largely dismissed since decolonization, the apparent efficaciousness of neo-trusteeships and shared sovereignty relationships in places like Kosovo, East Timor, and Sierra Leone hold out the promise of more effectual strategies for state building in counterinsurgency interventions.PHD

Lakes, Ross Allen. "The making of a hero : Franklin Roosevelt's preparation for a third-term presidential election." Virtual Press, 1988. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/544137.
Full textAbstract:
This study offers a mythical examination of the addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt during his first two terms of presidency. The direction of the study is to determine the use of the hero persona in Roosevelt's goal of gaining an unprecedented third-term presidential reelection.The study overviews the historic American public attitude toward the concept of a president being elected for a third consecutive term. Close attention is given to the fears of Americans during the late thirties generated from both the Great Depression and the current war in Europe and Asia. Drawing upon comments from various authorities and particularly those of Roosevelt's 1940 election opponent Wendal Willkie, the study establishes that many Americans were afraid that a third-term election would give Roosevelt too much power, and that many compared this power to/ dictatorships like those in Italy and Nazi Germany.-.Examination of numerous addresses by Roosevelt before the 1940 election reveals that FDR established a dramatistic rhetorical framework in which he cast a variety of players including the American people, Congress, the financial leaders of the Nation, foreign countries and dictatorships. These were cast as villains, victims and heroes.Two of the victims were democracy and the American Dream, both being threatened from without and from within America. The study looks at ways Roosevelt cast himself in this drama as the hero and defender of these two myths.Department of Speech Communication

Full textAbstract:
La tesis doctoral se centra en la búsqueda de sbottom squark ligeros en estados finales con dos b-jets y alto momento transverso faltante. Asumiendo la conservación de R-Parity, se considera un modelo simplificado para la producción directa de pares de sbottoms, cada uno de ellos decayendo en un quark bottom y el neutralino más ligero. Se presenta la búsqueda de sbottom squarks en el Run-2, usando los datos de colisiones de protones acumulador por el experimento ATLAS en 2015 con una energía en el centro de masas
de √s =13 TeV, y que corresponden a una luminosidad integrada de 3.2 fb−1 .
Se han definido diferentes regiones de señal, optimizadas para tener sensi-bilidad en un amplio rango de modelos supersimétricos con diferentes masas para el sbottom y el neutralino. Se han considerado cuidadosamente los fondos del Modelo Estándar, que contribuyen al estado final de interés, para lo que aquellos dominantes se han determinado en regiones de control y usando herramientas estadísticas basadas en técnicas de máxima verosimilitud.
Los datos están en buen acuerdo con las predicciones del Modelo Estándar. Los resultado han sido interpretados en términos de límites superiores (95% CL) a la sección eficaz visible de producción de una seal genérica de nueva física. Valores de la sección eficaz en el rango en tres 3.38 fb y 1.23 fb se excluyen en las diferentes selecciones de sucesos.
Se calculan límites de exclusión (95% CL) en el plano de masa sbottom-neutralino. Masas de sbottom hasta 800 GeV se excluyen para neutralinos con masa por debajo de 360 GeV (840 GeV en el caso de neutralinos con masa por debajo de 100 GeV). Así mismo, diferencias de masa entre sbottom y neutralino por encima de 100 GeV se excluyen para sbottoms con masas de hasta 500 GeV.
Los resultados de exclusión obtenidos en esta tesis extienden significa-tivamente aquellos obtenidos en las búsquedas realizadas con los datos del Run-1 del LHC. Los resultados han sido publicados por la colaboración ATLAS, dando lugar a un artículo en revistas científicas y dos notas públicas en conferencias.
Finalmente, se hacen proyecciones para futuras búsquedas que indican que en los próximos años, con más datos del LHC, será posible verificar o excluir de forma concluyente la presencia de sbottoms con masas por encima del TeV. Las mismas consideraciones aplican al caso de stops. Los próximos años del LHC serán cruciales para concluir sobre la idoneidad del modelo de SUSY y del concepto de naturalidad.This thesis is mainly devoted to the search for the lightest bottom squark, performed in final states with large missing transverse momentum and two bjets. In the assumption of R-parity conservation, a simplified signal mo del is considered consisting in the direct production of a pair of bottom squarks, each decaying exclusively into a b-quark and the lightest neutra- lino. The search for the bottom squark in Run-2 is presented, using the data from pp collisions collected by the ATLAS Experiment in 2015 at √s =13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb-1. Different signal regions are defined in this search, optimized in order to have sensitivity to a broad range of signal models with different sbottom and neutralino masses. The Standard Model background processes contributing to the targeted final states are considered, for which the dominant back- grounds are constrained in dedicated control regions by means of a profile likelihood fit. The observed data are found to be in agreement with the SM predictions. The results are interpreted in terms of model independent 95% confidence level upper limits on the visible cross section. Values in the range between 3.38 fb and 1.23 fb are found to be excluded for the different selections. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level are finally placed on the sbottom- neutralino mass plane. Sbottom masses up to 800 GeV are excluded for neu- tralino masses below 360 GeV (840 GeV for neutralino masses below 100 GeV). Differences in mass above 100 GeV between the sbottom and the neutralino are excluded up to sbottom masses of 500 GeV. The exclusion limits obtained in this thesis extend significantly the results obtained from the Run-1 search. The results were published by the ATLAS Collaboration, leading to one article in a journal and two public notes for conferences. Prospects for future searches are also given, showing that in the next years, with more data delivered by the LHC, it will be possible to verify or exclude the existence of the bottom squark beyond the TeV-scale. Similar considerations hold for the searches for the top squark. Altogether, the next years of the LHC will be crucial for saying a final word on natural SUSY.

Full textAbstract:
The music and film content providing industry asserts that unauthorised widespread Online Service Provider (OSP) enabled use of their works has played a large part in the factually evident decline in unit sales of the industry’s essential products such as CDs and DVDs, and has thus also allegedly diminished revenue and profits. In this regard, content providing industry legal recourse against OSPs takes two forms. The first is to claim primary copyright infringement, and the second to establish third-party copyright liability for the infringing acts of an OSP’s users. The choice is dictated by the specific facts in individual cases. The latter important and complex case law based category, which applies to a spectrum of OSP connections to infringements, some more direct than others, is specifically treated in this thesis. This thesis examines the, it is argued, inadequate case law based operation of UK third-party copyright liability. By firstly comprehensively studying UK copyright law as it pertains to OSPs, including primary liability as well as exceptions and limitations, UK third-party copyright liability is suitably extrinsically defined. Its intrinsic operation is then analysed. Severe deficiencies having been found and explained in this regard, a basis for reform is sought by conducting a similar examination of US third-party copyright liability, said law being more developed. Thus, a mirrored approach to the preceding UK analysis is taken in the analysis of US copyright law; carefully defining third-party copyright liability and ensuring overall systemic compatibility. Having established the need for reform and having provided a second compatible but more developed source, both strands of third-party copyright liability are compared and contrasted and entirely novel changes to the UK concepts are proposed for legislative adoption. The reformulations allow for apposite future risk analysis by market actors, resulting in greater legal certainty for all parties concerned.

Full textAbstract:
The end of bi-polarity in the world stage ushered in a period of hegemonic power decline and the sudden emergence of peripheral empowerment. This research undertaking attempts to reformulate World System theory, an antiquated theoretical perspective based on the periphery's economic dependence on core nation-states and the resultant exploitative relationship that occurs. Current events indicate that there are multiple demands of redress and restitution made by emancipated peripheral states. Such demands are increasingly addressed and heeded to in world conferences and various international organizations since 1989 and will be measured as absolute gains. A drastic change is also observed in the structure and function of both international governmental organizations (IGOs) and international-non governmental organizations (1NGOs) from being corecentric institutional bodies to supranational, authoritative entities which now have the capacity to promote rational progress through third world advocacy. Such changes are attributed both to the multi-polarity of the world stage and the cultural construction of rational progress. The new reformulation will discover that world- level socialism is not attainable. Rather, the only solution to weaken global stratification is the continued participation of peripheral states in worlBall State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306Department of Political Science

The focus of this study was to analyze the way in which my family members viewed education after immigrating from México to the United States. I used portraiture methodology to conduct interviews and narratives of the maternal and paternal sides of my family. They were all in agreement that education is important, and that it is a key tool for social mobility here in the United States. These ideas were consistent throughout the interviews, regardless of generational status and regardless of whether the person attended college or not. The differences came in the experiences of navigating the educational system in this country. There was a stark contrast between the paths to success of my maternal and paternal sides of the family. I propose that because my dad's side of the family immigrated sooner and assimilated faster in American society, they were able to take advantage of more resources available to them. Their view of and goals for a higher education were more established and attainable than for the members of my mom’s side of the family who faced different barriers including having to learn English.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study was to determine if instructing and modeling reciprocal teaching comprehension monitoring strategy, using expository text, would have a significant effect on the reading comprehension achievement of third, fourth, and fifth grade Chapter 1 Reading students.The population of the study consisted of third, fourth, and fifth grade students enrolled in regular classrooms and in Chapter 1 Reading in two Midwestern school corporations. There were 266 students in the study.The experimental group received instruction and modeling in reciprocal teaching comprehension monitoring strategy by the Chapter 1 teachers. The control group did not receive instruction and modeling of the strategy.The Iowa Test of Basic Skills, Form G (Levels 9, 10, 11), was administered as the pretest and posttest. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to evaluate differences between the experimental group and the control group which may have resulted from the treatment effect. The hypotheses tested the reading comprehension achievement gain, science achievement gain, and social science achievement gain.Findings1. It was found that there were significant differences in third, fourth, and fifth grade students in science achievement gain when they had instruction and modeling of reciprocal teaching.2. It was found that there were significant differences in third grade students in reading comprehension achievement and social science achievement when they had instruction and modeling of reciprocal teaching.3. It was found that there were no significant differences in fourth and fifth grade students in reading comprehension achievement and social science achievement when they had instruction and modeling of reciprocal teaching.Conclusion This study has been one attempt to add to the body of knowledge concerning reciprocal teaching comprehension monitoring strategy.

Mitchell, Samuel. "The Third World War: American Hegemony in Latin America and the Overthrow of Salvador Allende." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2012. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/308.
Full textAbstract:
Why has the United States frequently intervened in the affairs of Latin American governments? How have the motivations changed over time, and how have they stayed the same? Are American Presidents more motivated by economic or political threats to hegemony? What methods has the United States used to maintain its dominance over the Western Hemisphere, and how have they changed?
This paper seeks to address all of these questions, using a full historical examination as well as the case study of Salvador Allende's Chile. Drawing upon numerous scholars' work as well as individual research and investigation, this paper seeks to prove the following hypotheses: Since the creation of the Monroe Doctrine, which marked America’s entry into regional foreign affairs as a major player, the United States has acted upon a self-created moral imperative and entitlement to dominate the Americas. The motivation behind the indispensable maintenance of hegemony is as much symbolic as concrete. Many factors such as the threat of communism or European influence have been used as justification for American meddling. In fact, the main motivations are economic control of the hemisphere and the perception of American ideological supremacy among Latin American people (most importantly political leaders), not the spread of democracy or the promotion of human rights. Earlier in the United States' history, military intervention was more commonly used to achieve the aforementioned goals. With the onset of the Cold War, covert operations, equally potent, became increasingly prevalent. The following chapters present a story of the United States constantly positioning itself to be in the sole position of dominance (economic, political, and ideological) in the region of the Americas.

Mehandru, Nikita. "Deconstructing the Third Rail: An Analysis of the Issue of Poverty in the United States Through the Lens of Social Security." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2015. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1086.
Full textAbstract:
The ongoing debate over welfare in the United States is rooted in the long-standing tension between the nation’s commitment to providing for its most vulnerable and a deep-seated belief that such support can corrupt its recipients. Social Security has struck this balance and appeals to the masses with its pay-as-you-go system and universally distributed benefits. Yet, the solvency of Social Security is threatening the program that has attempted to guard against old age and disability for the last eighty years. This paper examines how the perception of poverty in the United States is a hindrance when tackling social welfare policies. Further, the failure of the Supreme Court to recognize economic security as a fundamental constitutional right and a lack of public support to contribute funds are added challenges in the implementation of social insurance and public assistance programs. The most promising solution to restore the short and long-term solvency of Social Security ultimately involves relaxing immigration laws to highly skilled workers and raising the retirement age for the rising generation.

The purpose of this study is to inquire if there are dispositions of any type. of newscast carried by ABC News about Nigeria and if these newscasts are positively or negatively inclined. The analysis quantified and verified that while the broadcast content of ABC News presentations on Nigeria have been objectively covered, the newscasts have taken stereotypical patterns. This, thereby establishes the need for ABC News, being an example of American network news, to diversify and cover stories of social and human interest in Nigeria and other Third World countries. The study concludes that a true maxim of news coverage is needed as a guide to unbiased, unslanted or cliched news presentations.

Full textAbstract:
This manuscript is a study of the Thirty-Third Infantry, United States Volunteers, a regiment that was recruited in Texas, the South, and the Midwest and was trained by officers experienced from the Indian Wars and the Spanish-American War. This regiment served as a front-line infantry unit and then as a constabulary force during the Philippine War from 1899 until 1901. While famous in the United States as a highly effective infantry regiment during the Philippine War, the unit's fame and the lessons that it offered American war planners faded in time and were overlooked in favor of conventional fighting. In addition, the experiences of the men of the regiment belie the argument that the Philippine War was a brutal and racist imperial conflict akin to later interventions such as the Vietnam War. An examination of the Thirty-Third Infantry thus provides valuable context into a war not often studied in the United States and serves as a successful example of a counterinsurgency.

This study was conducted to determine why counselors use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Third Edition, Revised) (DSM-III-R), to describe their opinions regarding the advantages and disadvantages of its use, to determine whether they believe deliberate misdiagnosis of clients occurs, to determine whether they believe they are adequately trained in the use of the DSM-III-R, and to identify counselor characteristics that are significantly related to their evaluations of the DSM-III-R.
A mailed questionnaire was used to collect data from a random sample of 550 Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselors. The response rate was 70.7%.
Results of the study indicate that the respondents use the DSM-III-R for billing insurance, case conceptualization, treatment planning and communication with other professionals, meeting requirements of employers and external entities such as the courts, and for educational and evaluative functions. These reasons for its use are also considered to be the advantages of using the DSM-III-R. Disadvantages of the using the DSM-III-R identified include possible negative results of its use, bias and labeling, and difficulty in usage as well as difficulty applying it in marriage and family counseling. Respondents believe clients are deliberately misdiagnosed using the DSM-III-R, and a majority of respondents (62.87%) who indicated whether reported they had training in the use of the DSM-III-R and whether they believe they are adequately trained in its use said their training is adequate. Results of canonical correlation analyses indicate that respondents' amounts of training in the use of the DSM-III-R, their work settings, and their clients' being charged for counseling services are significantly related to various aspects of their evaluations of the advantages and disadvantages of the DSM-III-R.Ph.

L'objectif de cette recherche est d'analyser l'évolution des Organisations du Tiers Secteur (OTS) impliqués dans l’offre de un service social, en particulier, l’accueil de demandeurs d’asile. Cette étude se focalise sur la transformation marchand du secteur, la corporatization des structures; et la professionnalisation de ses acteurs. Afin de comprendre ces dynamiques, j'ai formulé la suivante demande de recherche: "sous de fortes pressions institutionnelles, comment les OTS impliqués dans l’offre de services d'accueil des demandeurs d'asile, sont-elles capables de maintenir leur identité organisationnelle, tout en continuant à se distinguer des autres formes d’organisation?”En ordre de répondre à cette question, j'ai appliqué une analyse à plusieurs niveaux (multi-level analysis) et processuelle, basée sur une perspective institutionnelle. Alors que le niveau macro est analysé à travers une approche économique - New Institutional Economics (North, 1991, Williamson 2000), les niveaux méso et micro sont abordés dans une perspective organisationnelle. D’ un point de vue méthodologique, l’ analyse multi-niveaux et processuelle est poursuivie en utilisant une approche de méthodes mixtes. Alors que l’imposition de la concurrence par moyen des marchés publiques et appel à projets est justifiée comme étant capable de permettre d’améliorer l’efficacité du marché, mais ce que on a pu observer par moyen de cette étude c’est que ces mécanismes ouvrent surtout le marché à des entreprises commerciales avec le risque de provoquer une perte du lien relationnel, et la disparition du tissu associatifThe aim of this research is to analyse the business- like evolution of third Sector Organisations (TSOs) My case Study is based on the migration reception system and is a comparison between the Italian and the French case. The sector is particularly interesting, because we can observe a very rapid change, at the institutional, governance and organisational level. The very rapid legislative evolution on migration policies, at national as well as European level, the definition of a quasi-market through the implementation of specific funding instruments with a consequent change in number and kind of actors, are three of the main aspects characterising the evolution of the sector in the last 30 years.In order to understand these dynamics I formulated the following Research Question: “under strong institutional pressures, how are TSOs dealing with asylum seekers reception services, able to maintain their organisational identities, continuing to distinguish themselves from other organisational forms?”Concerning the Analytical framework adopted to study the business like evolution, I applied a multilevel and processual analysis based on an institutional perspective. While the macro level will be analysed through a new institutional economic lens, the meso and micro levels will be tackled through an organisational perspective. Finally, this multilevel and processual analysis will be pursued using a mix methods approach

I will be drawing on the work of Critical Race feminists and Critical Security Studies theorists to examine the concept of safety, systems of domination, and the parameters of national belonging. I will be performing a discourses analysis of the government’s and the Canadian Council for Refugee’s year one report of the Safe Third Country Agreement. I will also be performing a discourse analysis of the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website’s discussion of designated countries of origin. I will argue that state exaltation constructs the state, refugees, and safety in a way that reifies systems of domination.

Full textAbstract:
The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationship between the leadership style of elementary principals from Chapter One and Non-Chapter One Schools and to determine whether leadership styles were related to the achievement of third grade students. The study also sought to determine whether teachers perceive some styles to be more effective than others.The study was designed to test the following hypothesis: No significant relationship exists between leadership styles of the elementary school principals and student achievement in Chapter One and Non-Chapter One Schools.In order to test the hypothesis, twenty-two principals were selected from thirty-four schools in a Midwestern school district. Teachers using the Hersey and Blanchard LEAD-Other provided a leadership profile of their principal which included a perceived style and leadership effectiveness score. The Iowa Tests of Basic Skills were used to measure the achievement of third grade students over a three year period. An analysis of covariance was used to determine a relationship between the leadership style of principals and the achievement scores of third grade students.It was determined that leadership style and school type each were correlated significantly to student achievement. Style 1 (high task/low relationship) had the highest achievement scores, followed by Style 2 (high task/high relationship). Non-Chapter One Schools scored better on the tests than Chapter One Schools. The achievement scores varied when there was a style by chapter interaction. Chapter One students scored higher under Style 1 principals, while Non-Chapter One students scored equally well under a Style 1 or Style 2 principal. Teachers perceived the Style 2 principal to be the most effective style in both Chapter One and Non-Chapter One Schools.Department of Educational Administration and Supervision

Full textAbstract:
Child marriage, usually regarded as an issue pertaining to the non-‘developed’ parts of the world, can still be found in the United States (US), though efforts to combat it shape foreign policy goals. Is child marriage represented as a ‘problem’ in the same way internally as externally, and how do human rights play a role? Using Bacchi’s “What’s the Problem Represented to be?” approach, the problem representations emerge, showing that child marriage functions as a ‘solution’ to welfare ‘problems’ in national policy, as an obstacle to economic prosperity in foreign policy; and as a ‘foreign’ culture ‘problem’ in immigration policy. Postcolonial feminist theory’s “Third World Girl” allows for a deeper understanding of some of the subjectivities these representations entail, and the biopolitical nature of the assumptions which underlie these problem representations are explored through Foucault’s theoretical work on sexuality and production.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine third party loss in a number of jurisdictions. Third party loss is the loss suffered by persons not party to a contract as a result of the violation of a contractual obligation. Compensation poses a problem when the violation is careless as opposed to intentional and the loss that is caused is purely economic. The starting point of this work is German law where, in order to protect third parties, two contract-based mechanisms have been judicially developed, because the law of delict, based on a system of restrictively enumerated, statutory delicts, provides no protection for pure economic loss. The two mechanisms are Drittschadensliquidation and contract with protective effects vis-á-vis third parties concerns the violation of protective duties which do not concern performance, affecting personal, property, and/or financial interests of the third party not related tot he performance. The mechanisms were developed mainly in the course of the present century and have expanded to numerous applications, for instance: indirect agency; expert opinion, including valuators' and auditors' liability; attorney liability; liability for services, works, medical treatment. The mechanisms, debated vigorously by theorists, are remarkable examples of judicial law-making. The mechanisms of German law, their applications, the theoretical bases, the relationship between them and the judicial activism that led to their formulation are presented and analysed. In Greek law, where the law of delict is based on a general clause and not on enumerated delicts, protection in delict for pure economic loss probably exists. Therefore, as in a similar system, that of France, third party loss is not a distinct, pressing problem. On the other hand, there are certain doubts whether delictual protection is certain or whether it is the best option. Thus the possibility of contractual solutions is worth examining, even if only to reject their relevance to Greek law. In American law, in comparison to other common law jurisdictions, more efficient protection for third parties exists. The third party beneficiary rule, a contractual mechanism to confer benefits to non parties, has expanded impressively. Moreover, liability in tort for pure economic loss is more extended than elsewhere in the common law world but, nevertheless, is substantially deficient. It is argued that contract could expand to cover cases of third party (pure economic) loss and that this is the most viable and preferable way for improvement. Despite the existence of a general clause in delict and the jus quaesitum tertio (a means to confer benefits on non parties by contract), Scots law is seriously handicapped in dealing with pure economic loss cases due to the influence of English law. It is argued that the Scots law of pure economic loss is not identical to English law and that reform by increasing the role of the contract is desirable and manageable, provided the necessary judicial determination is present. Among Commonwealth major systems, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and English laws, the latter stands as an exception, clinging to traditional doctrines and applying, with few exceptions, an exclusionary rule to pure economic loss claims. In the other jurisdictions, otherwise so closely connected, the law is distinctly different. It is difficult to evaluate this different approach to pure economic loss. Commonwealth systems should also contemplate reform tending towards encouraging contract-based approaches. Most likely, this reform will require more than judicial law-making. The conclusion focuses principally on the desirability of an increased role for contract in third party loss cases, on the advantages of a more unified civil liability system - a system with greater intechangeability between contract and delict - and on the importance of judicial assertiveness in the process of keeping the law up-to-date and responding to new social needs.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the growing prominence of ‘international contact groups’ in the field of peacemaking, there is little academic attention for such ad hoc informal negotiating groups of third-party states. This study seeks to contribute to this understudied topic by investigating under what conditions contact groups are most likely to achieve negotiation success. Based on the framework of ‘recognition theory’, I argue that respect for each member as equal partner of the negotiating group helps to prevent obstructive behaviour. It is therefore hypothesised that ‘recognition for all members of the contact group enhances the likelihood of reaching agreement on a peacemaking strategy’. This is tested by means of a structured focused comparison in a most-similar cases design, studying two contact groups that operated during the 1999 conflict in Kosovo. I subsequently probe the generalisability of my findings by extending the analysis with a third case of contact group negotiations on Syria in 2012. The empirical findings provide support for the hypothesis and hint at the theory’s relevance in today’s context of increasingly dispersed power and mediation leverage. Nevertheless, further research is needed to establish with greater validity and reliability the effect of recognition and how it relates to other conditions for success.

Full textAbstract:
Every year many immigrant families become members of United States communities. Among these are international graduate students whose lives and identities, as well as those of their families, are changed as they negotiate between cultures and experiences. In this study, three Saudi graduate students share their stories about culture, education and literacy. This research employs narrative inquiry to answer the following question: What stories do Saudi immigrant students tell regarding their educational beliefs and experiences, as well as the experiences of their children in the U.S. and in Saudi Arabia? The participants' interview texts are the main data source. The three-dimensional narrative inquiry spaces of temporality, sociality, and place help identify the funds of knowledge in place throughout these narratives. Data analysis uses funds of knowledge as a theoretical lens to make visible the critical events in each narrative. These events point to themes that support the creation of a third space in which the participants negotiate being in two cultures as well as their storying across time to understand their own experiences. Themes of facing challenges, problem solving, adaptation, and decision-making connect these stories and support the discussion of findings within the personal, practical, and social justifications for this narrative inquiry. The participants' negotiation of being in two cultures as revealed here serves as a resource for educators in understanding the instructional needs of immigrant families. The findings also have the potential to contribute to changing existing misconceptions about this minority group and other immigrant groups. In a rapidly growing global community as the United States, such narratives provide insights that invite personal understandings and connections among diverse people.

Full textAbstract:
This diplomatic and military history offers a new interpretation of the origins of the three fighting fronts during the final phase of the Cold War in Angola, Central America, and Afghanistan. Vaguely remembered today as proxy wars on the periphery, in fact, these were protracted revolutionary civil wars and regional contests for the balance of power in which millions died, while at the same time they were central to global superpower confrontation. Analysis focuses on the strategy and policy of the United States. The chronology from 1975 to 1982 covers the Ford administration's covert action intervention in the Angolan Civil War, which came to grief at the hands of Cuban troops; Jimmy Carter's effort to conduct foreign policy based on principles, which ran foul of power considerations in Angola, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Afghanistan; and Ronald Reagan's embrace of these wars early in his first term as part of the revival of U.S. strength in its competition with the Soviet Union. The principal argument is that, while generally undervalued as controversial small wars of dubious significance, these wars were in fact integral to U.S. experience of limited war during the Cold War following victory in World War II. In strategic terms, the main conclusion is that the U.S. restricted itself to conducting economy of force contingency operations in Angola, Central America, and Afghanistan as a result of its costly struggles in Korea and Vietnam. Despite declaring these peripheral wars to be central to the Cold War, avoiding the costs of involving U.S forces directly in Third World conflicts and minimizing the risks of escalation with the Soviet Union were overriding political and military imperatives.

American participation in the First World War developed slowly throughout 1917 to a mighty torrent during the last six months of the war. United States participation undoubtedly helped not only repel but to stop all German assaults on the Western Front: it had substantially aided in defeating Imperial Germany.
Through primary and secondary sources a timeline, as well as a few of the more significant events, has been established following the United States' involvement in the war. Special attention has been focused on the United States Third Infantry Division and its part in the July 15- 17, 1918 Second Battle of the Marne.
The Third Infantry Division would see the war throughout its remaining battles and aid in the occupation of Germany. However, it is most famous for the Marne battle.

Full textAbstract:
Since the antiquity, the Book of Change (Zhouyi 周易) has been praised as the leading scripture among the five classics (with the Book of Documents [Shangshu 尚書], the Book of Odes [Shijing 詩經], the Spring and Autumn Annals [Chunqiu 春秋], and the Book of Rites [Liji 禮記]), and the supreme dao of the three mysteries (with Laozi 老子 and Zhuangzi 莊子). However, its guayaoci 卦爻辭 (general and line judgments of the hexagrams) are not only recondite but also proliferate with conflicting exegeses that lead nowhere. Fortunately, multiple early manuscripts of the Book of Change, including those from the Mawangdui 馬王堆 silk texts, the Fuyang 阜陽 bamboo slips, and the Chu 楚 bamboo slips housed at the Shanghai Museum, were excavated over the past forty years. These, combined with other related archaeological findings, found the basis for a scrupulous reading of the guayaoci. I attempt to compare the Shanghai Museum manuscript, which is the earliest extant copy of the Book of Change, with the traditional editions and other excavated copies to arrive at a reasoned exposition based on previous interpretation and through manifold research methods such as philology, textual criticism and theosophy.
The present thesis examines seven guyaoci from seven hexagrams:
1 “li yong qin fa 利用侵伐” of the fifth line of qian 謙;
2 “bu fu yi qi lin 不富以其鄰” of the fifth line of qian 謙 and the fourth line of tai 泰, and “fu yi qi lin 富以其鄰” of the fifth line of xiaochu 小畜;
3 the naming of wuwang 无妄 and its meaning;
4 “wuwang zhi ji, wu yao you xi 无妄之疾，勿藥有喜” of the fifth line of wuwang 无妄;
5 “he tian zhi qu 何天之衢” of the sixth line of dachu 大畜;

Full textAbstract:
The contractual nature of arbitration as a form of alternative dispute resolution in the context of cross-border/international disputes traditionally emphasises confidentiality as one of the fundamental characteristics of international arbitration. Confidentiality is often assumed to be a common feature and advantage of international commercial arbitration, and the privacy of arbitral proceedings has facilitated and encouraged recourse to arbitration. However, the issue of confidentiality has a different dimension and is limited in the context of international investment and trade disputes. The participation of States, State entities, sub-divisions and agencies in international disputes shifts the emphasis from privacy and confidentiality to transparency and accountability. This study analyses the role of confidentiality in investor-State arbitration, noting that confidentiality is not always preserved in many respects and stages throughout the arbitration proceedings. The paper considers the issues that challenge the legal effectiveness of confidentiality in international investor-State arbitration and the development towards transparency. In particular, the paper examines the participation of non-disputing/third parties in investor-State arbitration, the different approaches of major arbitral institutions towards the issue of confidentiality, and the arguments for and against confidentiality in relation to transparency. It concludes by making recommendations in the context of the development of investor-State arbitration.
