When is our final for this class?
what is Nanavut/Inuit
and nuremberg?
Our final is supposed to be next Thursday at 11:00....I'm assuming this is the de facto final. (Nunavut is the territory that the Canadians gave to the Inuit people, aka 'Eskimos.' Nuremberg is the site of the post WWII Nazi trials.)
what is U.S.'s position on the ICC?
The US is fundamentally against the ICC...this is because US soldiers may be prosecuted; a state's signature is required for that state to be prosecuted (even though a majority vote will allow for the 'forging' of a state's signature); it has the potential to exacerbate fragile political processes which can end war, all the while reducing sovereignty.
are universal human rights a western invention?
What is I=PAT and Fukuyama?
Whats State Primacy?
There is no final for the class; the last quiz (on the last section of the course; everything since the previous quiz) is tomorrow.
The Inuit are the native peoples of northern Canada; Nanavut is the territory they claimed as their ancestral areas (Anon #3 had it right).
The US helped create the ICC (under Clinton) and then refused to join when the ICC didn't turn out the way they wanted (this is the "broad" versus "narrow" debate). Beyond that, the US position (today) on the ICC is more complicated (many pros and cons). (Anon #5 had it correct).
Universal human rights are a Western invention...according to someone who believes in cultural relativity. Those with a more ethnocentric viewpoint would disagree.
"I=PAT" is directly from Tuesday's lecture. I actually wrote it on the board (and you know how rarely I write on the board). I=Environmental Impact, P=Population, A=Affluence, T=Technology.
Fukuyama was discussed in class on the day we talked about Friedman and Rothkopf. An example of ethnocentrism, but one that provides a lot of intellectual backing for US policy. I provided a link to the article if you want to read it.
State Primacy is right out of K&K.
