Extractions: ***Eurocentric vs. Euro-dominant history*** Most scholars purusing World History as a research field will agree that a Eurocentric model does not successfully present our global historical reality. Though many world history textbooks still tend to fall short of the "global" mark, an increasing number of world history monographs tend to focus on world-systems and cross-cultural interactions (i.e. Wallerstein and Curtin). Educators, wisely, often supplement these textbooks with such monographs in hopes of presenting a fuller narrative of the past, and to formulate a new historiography which does not perpetuate Eurocentrism. Ideally, I envision a world historical methodology which embraces connections and searches for patterns trans-nationally, but find myself often perplexed by the numbers of contemporary world historical pieces which tend to promote the "dominance" of Europe (post-1500) as the prevalent theme

Extractions: This course offers a comparative perspective on the development of modern states, societies, and cultures in Europe and North America. Religious and scientific revolutions in early modern Europe; European expansion and conquest; Enlightenment and revolution; liberalism, capitalism, and communism; the politics of race, slavery, and the new imperialism; the World Wars and the Holocaust; the Cold War; the modern and the post-modern in European and American culture. Korea's challenging location between great powers, its long struggle between independence and outside control, and its tragic division, all make for a singular case study in the history of war and diplomacy. This course will examine that history with particular focus on the Imjin War (1592-1598) and the Korean War (1950-1953). Topics include geopolitics, military tactics and strategy on the Korean peninsula, Admiral Yi Sun-Shin as strategist and tactician, the effect of war on Korean relations with China, Japan, Russia (and other northern Asian powers), and the United States.

Extractions: of clothmakers (1662) Civilization began with private property. To one degree or another, private property was recognized in all known primitive societies even those having some form of communal property. People owned tools, pottery, land, houses and animals. Private property was transferred and inherited. Consequently, people had a crucial incentive to maintain and improve things. Private property was the basis for markets which go back tens of thousands of years. Long before human beings formed settlements and cultivated land, long before the appearance of governments and organized religions there were markets. They enabled people peacefully to trade their surplus for goods other people developed.

Extractions: Faculty Facts WHEN WE BEGAN Nobody forgets the teacher who changed his or her life. Here are a few of those remarkable people. Quietly brilliant Chuck Painter/News Service When I went to Stanford in France as a junior, Ian Watt was one of two professors accompanying our group. This was rather as if, when I went to Little League camp as an 8-year-old, Mickey Mantle had come along as the batting coach. How many of my classmates at Stanford knew Ian Watt as a war veteran? Because the University of Tours wanted to honor a visiting scholar and because The Bridge over the River Kwai was a book by Frenchman Pierre Boulle before it became a celebrated film, Watt was invited to give a public lecture on his experiences as one of the British officers who helped build the bridge as prisoners of war in Thailand. He came to the lectern in his usual tweed, handsome with slicked-back silver hair, and began to speak. Watt had been at the center of one of the most famous episodes of World War II, and he could easily have punched up the drama, casting himself as a hero and describing the cruelties inflicted by his Japanese captors. Instead, he offered a quietly brilliant deconstruction of the book and the film, revealing how they were inflected by Western imperialism and anti-Asian racism. That was the only time I saw him in the role of lecturer. In his seminars, he prodded

In a last point, I will present an outline of some difficulties concerning arbitration clauses (IV). I. Preliminary Remarks The ABA Draft Report contains some fundamental misunderstandings about European PIL due to the difference of legal culture between the two continents. The first concerns the global approach to PIL; the second concerns the approach to the rules of conflicts. forum legis There is a misunderstanding when the ABA Draft Report citing as example Article 7 of the Draft Hague Convention on Jurisdiction .

Extractions: Advertisement In the northeastern part of Thailand, at the confluence of three small tributary streams in Udon Thani province, lies the Bronze Age village and cemetery site of Ban Chiang. Legend has it that Ban Chiang was discovered by a clumsy American college student, who fell in the road of the present town of Ban Chiang, and found ceramics eroding out of the road bed. The first excavations at the site were conducted in 1967 by archaeologist Vidya Intakosai, and this and subsequent excavations by the Fine Arts Department in Bangkok and the University of Pennsylvania have revealed evidence of prehistoric occupation beginning possibly as early as 3600 B.C. and continuing, probably intermittently, until about A.D. 200. The site is among the largest prehistoric Bronze Age sites in this part of Thailand, measuring at least 20 acres (8 hectares) in size. Ban Chiang is remarkable in that before its discovery, mainland southeast Asia was considered a cultural backwater during the Bronze Age; archaeological research at the site has revealed a fully developed Bronze Age metallurgy, but lacking the weaponry so often associated with it in Europe and the rest of the world.
