All the Ayatollah's men / Takeyh, Ray   Journal Article
Takeyh, Ray Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract MORE THAN thirty years after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini came to power-and two decades after his passing-the Islamic Republic remains an outlier in international relations. Other non-Western, revolutionary regimes eventually eschewed a rigidly ideological foreign policy and accepted the fundamental legitimacy of the international system. But Iran's leaders have remained committed to Khomeini's worldview. The resilience of Iran's Islamist ideology in the country's foreign policy is striking. China's present-day foreign policy isn't structured according to Mao's thought, nor is Ho Chi Minh the guiding light behind Vietnam's efforts to integrate into the Asian community. But Iran's leadership clings to policies derived largely from Khomeini's ideological vision even when such policies are detrimental to the country's other stated national interests and even when a sizable portion of the ruling elite rejects them.

Back to the future – people’s war in the 21st century / Rich, Paul B; Marks, Thomas A   Journal Article
Marks, Thomas A Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This issue of Small Wars and Insurgencies focuses on the continuing importance of Maoist and post-Maoist concepts of people’s war. It has assembled a collection of papers that addresses various examples from around the world, with an emphasis on South America, where the premier illustration, that of Colombia’s FARC, was Marxist-Leninist but not Maoist, yet embraced the form and strategy of people’s war in a bid which at one point had the state in a critical situation. The collection comes in the wake of previous papers published in this journal on politically Maoist insurgent movements in South Asia, notably Mika Kerttuenen’s study of Maoist insurgents in Nepal and Prem Mahadevan’s survey of Maoist insurgencies in India and their links to organized crime (Kerttunen, “A Transformed Insurgency,” 78–118; Mahadevan, “The Maoist Insurgency in India,” 203–20). The papers confirm that people’s war remains an important analytical framework in the study of small wars and insurgencies, for some even a ‘model’ through which to understand distinct types of insurgent movements and their strategies.

Highlanders on the Ho Chi Minh trail: representations and narratives / Pholsena, Vatthana   Journal Article
Pholsena, Vatthana Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract The history of the hinterlands of the Indochinese peninsula, astride the frontier between Laos and Vietnam, during the first and second Indochina wars (1946-75) is arguably the least informed of this turbulent period. The aftermath of World War II saw the establishment of revolutionary bases at the junction between southeastern Laos and central and southern central Vietnam in highly strategic areas that were conduits for the "Ho Chi Minh Trail." This article aims to go beyond conventional diplomatic and military histories of the Indochina wars to examine war from below. In particular, the second half of the article is constructed around the narratives of two female war veterans of ethnic minority origins who conducted most of their revolutionary activities during the Vietnam War along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Particular attention is given to their motivations and wartime lives, linked to their transformation from members of upland populations who not long ago were described as "savages" into "revolutionaries" and "patriots."

Historical overview of US counter-insurgency / Rich, Paul B   Journal Article
Rich, Paul B Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This introductory article introduces some of the articles in this issue and examines the debate surrounding the idea of the "COINdinistas" in the US. It traces the roots of their approach to counter-insurgency and distinguishes "small c" counterinsurgency based on small groups of military advisers in "peripheral" conflicts from "big C" counter-insurgency which became allied to modernisation theory and nation building. The article also looks at developments in COIN thinking after the drawdown of US and other ISAF forces from Afghanistan, especially the work of David Kilcullen focussed on the emergence of future mega "feral" cities on coast lines vulnerable to terrorist and insurgent attacks

Material symbolism on saigon's edge: the political-economic and symbolic transformation of Ho Chi Minh City's periurban zones / Harms, Erik   Journal Article
Harms, Erik Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract Cities and their fringes are both symbolic and material, imbued with subjective meanings as well as objective physical attributes. In this paper, I show how the physical and social transformation of periurban space in Hô Chí Minh City emerges from and also contributes to a dynamic interaction between symbolic understandings of space as well as material, political economic forces that transform space in concrete ways. On the symbolic level, I show how conceptions of "inside" versus "outside" as well as rural versus urban play into Vietnamese meaning systems that lend a sense of conceptual order and coherence to the larger organization of urban space. In rapidly urbanizing contexts like Hô Chí Minh City, the periurban fringe is dynamic and ever-changing, and the political-economic forces of real-estate speculation, city planning and infrastructure development interact with Vietnamese notions of what an ideal city might look like. This paper shows how periurban spaces in different parts of Hô Chí Minh City can best be understood as spaces of "material symbolism," places where the material attributes of space, the political economy of development, and the symbolic meaning attributed to space all restructure each other in dialectical fashion. Just as symbolic meanings frame how residents perceive these emergent spaces, these same spaces also transform the symbolic meaning of Vietnamese cities.

Nghe Tinh movement in communist party historiography / Lockhart, Bruce M   Journal Article
Lockhart, Bruce M Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract The significance of the High Tide of 1930-31 lies not only in its impact on the evolution of the Vietnamese Revolution, but also in its status as a microcosm of policy debates and personality conflicts within the Indochinese Communist Party. This article looks at how the evolution of the Party's historiography of 1930-31 can be analysed in terms of broader political developments in Vietnam, such as struggles over ideology and the growing leadership role of Hô Chí Minh.
