The Christian Right and US Foreign Policy in the Twenty-first Century
No full textThe thesis discusses the role of the Christian Right in the US foreign policy decision making process. The research revealed that the Christian Right has long been fascinated with some international issues in general and US foreign policy in particular. The Christian Right’s interest in international issues increased markedly during years of the George W. Bush presidency. It successfully widened its activities from domestic social conservative issues to foreign policy issues by participating in, articulating and lobbying for its religious version of American foreign policy. In assessing the role of the Christian Right in US foreign policy making, this dissertation examines three aspects of US foreign policy, namely Israel, international religious freedom and global humanitarianism. Based on these aspects, the Christian Right is seen as skilled in framing and defining issues. The Christian Right seems effective in selecting and prioritizing international issues that have a reasonable chance of being selected by foreign policy decision makers, especially in Congress. Moreover, the Christian Right has shown its maturity in seeking engagement and cooperation with other organizations, secular and religious, in order to advance its international goals. Finally, in pursuing and conveying its international agenda, the Christian Right has adopted a more moderate and less overtly religious approach. Instead of using its traditional religious rhetoric, the Christian Right has successfully projected its foreign policy preferences into the conventional realist discourse of American foreign policy that is largely based on the objective of national interest and national security. Nevertheless, this study does not, in any way, conclude that the Christian Right was able to influence or determine the direction of US foreign policy and its outcomes; however, it does suggest that the Christian Right did contribute and have an impact on the formulation of some US foreign policy. As such, the research contends that the role of the Christian Right is similar to other interest group lobbies and that its perceived influence on US foreign policy should not be exaggerated. Finally, the research suggests that the emergence of the Christian Right as an actor in asserting its global agenda through US foreign policy can possibly provide an example of how religious beliefs and values can become a potential source of “soft power”. Together with the “climate of opinion” of the American public during the Bush administration, the “soft power” at domestic level could serve as a valuable new explanatory variable in understanding how the US foreign policy was formulated in the early 21st century

Elliot Merrick (1905-1997)
No full text... Elliot Merrick, Labrador author and traveler, died on 22 April 1997, less than three weeks before his 92nd birthday. Toward the end of his life, he would joke that he was so old that he\u27d become "historical". In fact, he was one of the last surviving links with pioneer Labrador - a place that makes the present-day Labrador of jet overflights and nickel mines seem like another country. ... Elliot Merrick made no contribution to science; his trips did not result in new maps being drawn up, and he did not make any major or even minor archaeological finds. But his books about Labrador will live on to enthral future generations of readers with the magic of the North
A Goliath and David Partnership: U.S.-Israel Missile Defense Collaboration from 1983 to 2016
No full textBallistic missiles and projectiles such as rockets provide the threat of large-scale damage to not only military but also civilian targets, with potentially high casualties. This technology was widely proliferated during the Cold War era, and many countries continue to develop ballistic technology today. These systems are attractive to states and non-state actors because of their relatively low cost compared to the high level of damage they can cause. Since the creation of Israel in 1948, it has experienced tense relations with its Arab neighbors, which possess ballistic weaponry. Since Ronald Reagan’s 1983 Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) invitation for defensive collaboration, the United States and Israel have partnered in the field of ballistic missile defense (BMD). Prior to 1983, Israel espoused a purely offensive-defense strategic mentality, in which it was willing to start wars for the sake of protecting its territory and its people. The creation of BMD systems such as the Arrow Weapon System (AWS), Iron Dome, and David’s Sling has enabled Israel to enjoy a layer of multi-tiered defense against a variety of ballistic threats. The United States, as part of this BMD partnership, has benefited from the technological advancement as well. This paper examines the bilateral collaboration and the mindsets of both the United States and Israel which led to the development of this ballistic weapon shield from the time period of 1983 until 2016.|Key words: United States, Israel, ballistic missile, Arrow, Iron Dome, David’s SlingProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
