King Hussein of Jordan
No full textThis episode is an unedited version of Peter Krogh's interview with King Hussein of Jordan. 1985 found Jordan ambitiously attempting to expand diplomacy in the perpetually tumultuous Middle East. To the north, Israel was beginning a phased withdrawal from Lebanon; to the east, Iraq and Iran were engaged in the fifth year of a bitter and costly war; to the west lay Israel and the disputed West Bank. In the midst of a renewed push for a just and durable peace, King Hussein placed special emphasis on diplomatic efforts, attempting to engage the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in direct peace talks with Israel. In this interview King Hussein and host Peter Krogh discuss the importance of involving all Arab nations in the peace process, the need to seek international support in order to create any lasting agreement, and the role of military power and terrorism in the process. The interview also examines Jordan's Cold War relations with the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as the roles that both countries play in the region and in the diplomatic process.Host Peter Krogh interviews King Hussein in Amman, Jordan
I Giorni dell'Ibisco
No full textBetween the guitar sound of Bob Dylan and the sarangi mix East and West in nine extraordinary tales. These nine stories come directly to the heart of the reader. Aamer Hussein fails to fuse with innocence and immediacy, philosophy and maturity, intelligence and sensitivity, the size of the intimate and personal players with political reality, the fate of the characters with the complex history of the world where they live. Writing, both delicate and powerful, is full of strange images and original, unusually modern, yet deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo of magic. The universe cosmopolitan Hussein transcends categories such as "colonial," "postcolonial" or "third world". Of Pakistani origin and training English Hussein introduces the structure, style and metaphors of modern Urdu literature in purely English stories, set in many different realities, from Pakistan to England, from Spain to Java. <br/

Milosevic and Hussein on Trial
No full textIn this article in the Symposium on Milosevic & Hussein on Trial, the author discusses the difficulties of trying Saddam in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague to argue that previous cases of genocide have resulted in the political strategy of exile or extermination. Four points that limit the possibilities for an ICJ trial are discussed, & the probable unjustness of the Iraqi Special Tribunal (IST) is related to the treatment of historical cases of Napoleon & Milosevic, & genocide criminals in the Rwanda & Nuremberg criminal trials. The author argues that the current position on genocide according to the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia & Herzegovina (GFA) & the Dayton Accords, leaves the Milosevic & Hussein cases extremely unclear, & advocates handing Saddam over to the Iraqi police, & finds advantages in the probable chance that Milosevic may die before his trial ends.

A comparative analysis of operational codes for King Hussein I and King Abdullah II
No full textDue to the character of the original source materials and the nature of batch digitization, quality control issues may be present in this document. Please report any quality issues you encounter to [email protected], referencing the URI of the item.Includes bibliographical references (leaf 26).After King Abdullah II inherited the throne from King Hussein I at a very critical transition point in 1999, it became necessary for a study to rigorously examine the fundamental characteristics of each leaders' outlooks on the political realm. Additionally, it created a unique opportunity to gauge the effects of a leadership transition period on a leader's policy preferences, as well as the changes in direction for future political action in the region. This study utilized the Verbs In Context System to code six randomly selected texts from each leader to construct operational code indices for both Hussein and Abdullah during two time periods: continuous, sustained periods of leadership, and the year of rule either before or after the transition point (depending on which leader is being considered). Mean values for each leader were computed on nine operational code indices spanning both philosophical and instrumental beliefs: Nature of the Political Universe, Realization of Political Values, Predictability of Others, Control over Historical Development, Role of Chance, Approach to Goals, Pursuit of Goals, Timing of Action, and Utility of Means. Two-factor ANOVA tests checked for variation over time with respect to leader, time period, and any possible interaction between these factors. The resulting data sets show that, barring some differences in relation to the negative characterization of the political universe, both Hussein and Abdullah possessed a propensity toward very cooperative means in approaching the political arena. These operational codes did not vary across time and the leaders did not differ much from each other in their characterization of and action in the political environment. Overall, Hussein and Abdullah tested to be very similar to each other in operational codes, and we can expect Abdullah to pursue the policies that were begun by Hussein in an effort to preserve the moderate stance that the nation has historically taken with respect to the Middle East peace process
