Author: 

Hantel, Katya Chistik

Climate change is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Although cohesive solutions remain elusive, U.S. media attention on climate change is decreasing. This study examines how media attention to climate change solutions has changed over time and makes recommendations on how coverage trends can be influenced.

Two broad solutions frames were chosen for the study: “market” solutions that address

Author: 

Nielson, Jonathan M. Ph.D., University of California, Santa Barbara

Credentials: 

Author of "American Historians in War and Peace: Patriotism, Diplomacy, and the Paris Peace Conference, 1918-1919"

The Second World War was to Alaska what the First World War had been to the nation. The essential reality of Alaska’s experience during World War II was the end of its isolation from the continental United States. As a consequence of the war, Alaska’s territorial era entered its twilight years, eclipsed by the dawn of statehood nineteen years later and driven largely by military imperatives. A further legacy was Alaska’s inevitably

A History of Alaska, Volume II: Alaska On the Road to War

Author: 

Nielson, Jonathan M. Ph.D., University of California, Santa Barbara

Credentials: 

Author of *American Historians in War and Peace: Patriotism, Diplomacy, and the Paris Peace Conference, 1918-1919

The most significant military development to touch Alaska during the interwar years was the advent of air power, an innovation that completely altered Alaska's strategic position. Suddenly the world became smaller as areas once thought safely distant from potential enemies became vulnerable. Nowhere was this more evident than in the Pacific, whose countless islands became potential advanced air bases.

A History of Alaska, Volume I: From Old and New Frontiers to the Changing Strategic Balance

Author: 

Nielson, Jonathan M., Ph.D., University of California, Santa Barbara

Credentials: 

Author of American Historians in War and Peace: Patriotism, Diplomacy, and the Paris Peace Conference, 1918-1919

As a unique, distant geographical region of the United States, Alaska has evolved from military insignificance to high strategic priority in the 142 years since its purchase from Russia in 1867. The reasons for this dramatic shift derive from a correlation of geography, foreign policy, domestic politics, and military technology.

Quo Vadis Korea: The Last Custodian of Confucianism and Its Atypical Transformation

Author: 

Azad, Shirzad

In the mid-20th century, Korea was dubbed the last custodian of Confucianism, but it is now very hard to even call the country a truly Confucian society. Following this argument, Quo Vadis Korea? explores critically how some five decades of breakneck industrialization and unbridled modernization could ineluctably change the nation so fundamentally that their repercussions now sharply negate many basic principles of Confucianism in one way to another.

Education for Peace: The Politics of Adopting and Mainstreaming Peace Education Programs in a Post-Conflict Setting

Author: 

Tinker, Vanessa

Credentials: 

Ph.D., International Relations, University of Kent (Canterbury, UK)

This research monograph contributes to the fields of peace education, post conflict resolution, peacebuilding and conflict analysis by providing the first in-depth scholarly analysis of the Education for Peace program in Bosnia and Herzegovina by an independent scholar and researcher. It also provides an important systematic study of the “mainstreaming” process of peace education in post-conflict zones and the first substantial study to examine the interface between the substance of a program and the political process whereby they are tried, adopted, modified and finally mainstreamed.
