On February 3, 1999, President Clinton signed Executive Order 13112 (E.O.) which calls on state transportation agencies to work to prevent and control the introduction and spread of invasive species. Nonnative flora and fauna can cause significant changes to ecosystems, upset the ecological balance, and cause economic harm to our nation's transportation, environmental, agricultural and recreational sectors. For example, introduced plants, such as Phragmites and purple loosestrife, throughout New York State have choked out native plant species and consequently clogged roadway drainage ways and altered environmental habitat. Transportation systems can facilitate the spread of plant and animal species outside their natural range. Those species that are likely to harm the environment, transportation safety, human health, or economy are of particular concern. The NYS Department of Transportation maintains approximately 16,500 miles of highway and annually spends over $9.1 million on vegetation management. Funding for this project is integretated as part of the normal department operational vegetation management budget. The threat from invasive species is increasing with human population growth, global trade and disturbance of the environment. Effectively dealing with the problem of invasive plant species presents a significant conservation challenge, both biologically and politically. The prevention of new plant invasions, early detection and monitoring of infestations of invasive plants, and effective control of established invasions through area-wide partnerships have been identified as key objectives in an overall national strategy for invasive plants. Stopping potentially invasive species before they spread from transportation corridors may be the best option for short-term protection. The department is implementating a proactive environmental initiative to attempt to eradicate certain existing invasive populations, and control the colonization and spread of species that have demonstrated negative effects to natural systems. Highway corridors provide opportunities for the movement of invasive species through the landscape. Invasive plant or animal species can move on vehicles and in the loads they carry. Invasive plants can be moved from site to site during spraying and mowing operations. Weed seed can be inadvertently introduced into the corridor during construction on equipment and through the use of mulch, imported soil or gravel, and sod. Some invasive plant species might be inadvertently planted in erosion control, landscape, or wildflower projects. Thousands of miles of New York State rights-of-ways traverse public and private lands. Many of these adjacent lands have weed problems and the highway rights-of-way provide corridors for further spread. NYSDOT has an opportunity to address roadside vegetation management issues on both their construction activities and maintenance programs with new levels of cooperation and communication with other state agencies and conservation organizations. Under the E.O., Federal-aid and Federal Lands Highway Program funds cannot be used to carry out actions that are likely to cause or promote the introduction or spread of invasive species in the United States or elsewhere unless all reasonable measures to minimize risk of harm have been analyzed and considered. NYSDOT plans on implementing a 10-point invasive transportation vegetation management plan consisting of the following components: (1) Developing a prioritized list of threatening flora or fauna based upon regional environments. (2) Field and GIS mapping of existing invasive populations. (3) Integration of invasive species identification and analysis as part of the department's normal NEPA /SEQR processing. (4) Evaluation of potential impacts caused by construction or maintenance activities. (5) Development of preventive best management practices. (6) Testing, execution and evaluation of eradication measures. (7) Annual reviews and updates of the vegetation management plans. (8) Progression of innovative design solutions to reduce the opportunities for the introduction or spread of invasive species. (9) Promote a climate of interagency cooperation and sharing of coordinated research with public and private sectors. (10) Increase employee and public knowledge through outreach training of the effects of invasive species to the users. An important design component of the plan is consideration of invasive species during all phases of the environmental process. For example, during scoping, discussions with stakeholders should identify the potential for impacts from invasive species and include possible prevention and control measures. The actual NEPA analysis should include identification of any invasive terrestrial or aquatic animal or plant species that could do harm to native habitats within the project study area. In summary, the NYSDOT is committed to the integration of E.O. 13112 as part of the department's planning, design, construction and operations programs. This E.O. came at an opportune time to become another facet of the department's nationally recognized transportation environmental initiative.

ÖZETOrtadoğu, ortak din, ortak tarih ve kültüre sahip olduğumuz, köklü bir medeniyetin beşiğidir. Osmanlı bakiyesi olan Türkiye Orta Doğu politikalarında edilgen bir strateji uygulamakla tarihi, kültürel ve dini geleneğinden doğan ağırlığını hissetirememektedir. Kuşkusuz Orta Doğu'yu konu alacak bir çalışmanın her şeyden önce önüne açılan geniş alan ve sayısız yollardan birini tercih etmesi, alanını özelleştirmesi gerekiyor. Orta Doğu hakkında, tarihsel bir yaklaşımla çalışmaya karar verirken, genel bir çalışmadan veya dokümantasyondan ziyade Orta Doğu ile Türkiye arasındaki ilişkilere yön vermiş olan belli bir dönem üzerinde yoğunlaşmanın daha doğru olacağını düşündüm.Bu bağlamda, hem Türkiye'de önemli değişimlerin yaşanmasının işaretlerini vermesi açısından hem de 12 Eylül askeri yönetiminin hakim olması bakımından bu dönem tez çalışması yapmak için bana oldukça uygun gelmiştir. . Tabii bu dönem üzerinde çalışmak bu dönemden önceki uluslararası konjonktürün Türkiye'nin Orta Doğu ülkeleriyle ilişkilerine etkilerini de değerlendirmeye dahil etmeyi gerektiriyordu. Çünkü şu bir gerçek ki, her iki tarafın ilişkileri dünya sisteminin güçlü temsilcilerinden bağımsız gelişmemektedir. Arapları birleştirici bir rol oynadığı görüntüsü veren İsrail sorunu ise bölge ülkelerinin ilişkilerini daha da karmaşıklaştırmaktadır. 1980-1983 dönemi özellikle kendisinden sonraki dönemlerin dış politika araç ve parametrelerini belirlemesi açısından ne kadar önemli olduğu günümüzdeki gelişmelerden de anlaşılmaktadır. Örneğin bu dönemde İKÖ'yle girilen yakın ilişkiler ve bölge devletleriyle olan yakınlaşmalar 80'ler boyunca Türk Dış Politikasına yön verdiği gibi 90'ların iç politik ortam ve tartışmalarını hazırlamıştır. Kısaca belirtmek gerekirse Camp David barış antlaşması ve İsrail ile Arap ülkelerinin ilişkileri bu evrede yeni bir sürece girmiştir. S.S.C.B' nin Afganistan'ı işgali bu dönemde meydana geldi. Bu da Orta Doğu ülkelerinin S.S.C.B.'ye bakışlarını etkiledi. İran'daki İslam Devrimi, Orta Doğu ülkelerinin hakim rejimlerini korku ve tedirginliğe sevketmiş; bu dönemde başlatılan İran-Irak savaşı da bölge ülkelerinde farklı kaygı ve beklentiler doğurmuştur. Gene bu dönemde İsrail, Kudüs'ün Arap kesimini ilhak edecek ve bu da yeni bir gerginliğe neden olacaktır. Türkiye'de bir darbe olması, Enver Sedat'ın öldürülmesi gibi ilk elde sayabileceğimiz pek çok önemli olay meydana gelmiştir. Bütün bu saymaya çalıştığımız olaylar hem Türkiye'nin hem de bölge ülkelerinin dış ve iç politikalarını etkilemiştir. Yukarıda anlatmaya çalıştığım gibi o dönemi hem dış politika hem de iç politikaya etkileri açısından değerlendirmeye çalışırken; aynı zamanda bu etkilerin sonraki dönemlere uzanan sonuçlarını da değerlendirmeye çalışacağım. Bu bağlamda, devlet politikası olarak o döneme ne tür eleştirel yaklaşımlar sergilenmiş olduğunu da tahlil etmeye çalışacağım.ABSTRACTTURKEY'S FOREIGN POLICY AND THE MIDDLE EAST BETWEEN 1980 AND 1983Middle East is a kind of cradle which shares and accommodates common cultural and historical values with Turkey. Turkey, unfortunately, carry out more passive political strategies in the region whereas it is a country with a past of Ottoman Empire which was the central political, cultural and social actor of the region along centuries. But Turkey can not take the advantage of his rich experiences.In this thesis, the concentration point is the coup of September 12th in 1980. This military intervention is, at the same time, a turning point of Turkey's social and political life. Working on this period necessitates developing a different perspective through the near past of this area and the multilateral relations of regional actors. Indeed, it is a fact that Turkey and his regional partners' acts and operations in the region can not be independent from the real actors and representatives of world system. Even some critical events, like the problem of Israel, seemingly lead to the convergence of Arab countries, but in reality, confuse the relations of related countries in the region. Especially the period of 1980-1983 is a very important phase in terms of defining the political preferences and the directions of following years. For example, in that period, Turkey developed close relations with Organization of Islamic Conference and the countries of the region. These relations also affected the intra-political agenda of Turkey. On the one side, Turkish foreign policy (along 1980s), and the on the other side, intra-political agenda and discussions (specifically after1990s) have been shaped by these interactions with other Middle Eastern countries. If it is mentioned briefly, in this period, the process the Peace of Camp David and the relations between Arab countries and Israel have evolved towards new dimensions. The occupation of Afghanistan by USSR has happened at the same time and this new situation reshaped the views of Arab countries over the communist regime and USSR. Another radical event in the region was Iran-Islamic Revolution and this development also leads the regional countries to alarm and anxiety about the future of their prosperities. Additionally, at the same time again, Israel has occupied the Arabian side of the Jerusalem and caused a new international and regional tension. These years have also witnessed the assassination of Enver Sedat, the president of Egypt and military intervention in Turkey. All of these developments have influenced both of foreign and domestic policies of Turkey and other countries in the region. This thesis tries to analysis the state policies of Turkey through this chaotic term between 1980 and 1983.

The spread of democracy beyond Western Europe to Latin America and the duration of Latin American democracies through one or more elections has revealed a surprising and disturbing trend in Latin America. Many new Latin American electorates have supported rightist and non-democratic candidates who, once elected president, have engaged in auathoritarian behavior, bypassing, corrupting or closing the legislature, undeterminig judicial autonomy, and attempting to extend their terms in office indefinitely. Examples of such presidential behaviour in Latin America include Carlos Menen in Argentina, Alberto Gujimori in Peru, and Arnoldo Aleman in Nicaragua. Within Latin American electorates, it is evident that the rural population is even more likely to support rightist candidates than is the electorate as a whole. Rural rightism is surpring, however, given a largebody of literature from the 1970s and 1980s where peasants and rural dwellers are seen primarily as leftists, such as in Russia, China, Mexico, Cuba and Nicaragua. The presence of rightist rural electoral support in new Latin American democracies leaves a puzzle: are peasants fascists or revolutionaries? To unravel such a puzzle, the essay looks first at four cases of rural support for fascism or authoritarian populism in the early to mid-twentieth century, France, Italy, Germany, and Argentina. It compares factors explaining such rightist rural support with the knowledge we have about rural support for the left in Russia, China, Cuba, and Nicaragua. The essay concludes that two overall sets of factors are at play in explaining rural support and activism of a rightist or leftist nature. These are 1) background factors including the context of economic and social relations and the nature of land tenure and 2) foreground factors including thye nature of political leadership, organizational style and skill and the kind of rhetoric used to attract and motivate rural followers. Based upon these comparisons of rural political activism and scrutiny of the European and Latin American cases, the essay concludes that rural dwellers are neither naturally fascists nor naturalleyrevolutionaries. Rather, their activism and heir electoral support can be moved in either direction depending upon the preexisting social and economic background and upon the skill and style of leaders attempting to win rural support. We need to look carefully at the candidates running for office and at their organizational style and the nature of their rhetoric. Such foreground factors will be more likely to tell us whether or not their electoral support (and their behavior in office, for that matter) willresemble the cases of fascism and rightist authoritarianism of the early and midtwentieth century. ; La expansión de la democracia en América Latina y su extensión en el tiempo ha puesto de manifiesto una tendencia sorprendente y preocupante. Muchos de los nuevos electores latinoamericanos han dado su apoyo a candidatos de derecha y no democráticos que una vez en el poder han atentado de diversas maneras contra la democracia. Dentro del electorado se constata que ese apoyo a las fuerzas antidemocráticas es mayor en la población rural. A la luz de la bibliografía de los años 70 y 80 sobre las revoluciones campesinas de Rusia, China, Cuba o Nicaragua, este derechismo campesino es un rompecabezas: ¿los campesinos son fascistas o revolucionarios? Para descifrar este enigma, el trabajo en primer lugar analiza cuatro casos de apoyo rural al fascismo o al autoritarismo populista en la primera mitad del siglo XX (Francia, Italia, Alemania y Argentina). Compara los factores explicativos que emergen de esa comparación con los resultados obtenidos de la investigación sobre el izquierdismo campesino en China, Rusia, Cuba y Nicaragua. La conclusión del trabajo es que hay dos conjuntos de factores que explican el apoyo de los campesinos a la izquierda o a la derecha. El primer tipo de factores, de transfondo, incluye el contexto económico y las relaciones sociales de propiedad y tenencia de la tierra. El segundo tipo de factores, de primer plano,incluye el tipo de liderazgo, el estilo organizativo y la habilidad política, así como el tipo de retórica que se usa para atraer el voto campesino. La población rural no es por naturaleza ni de derecha ni de izquierda, sino que su apoyo puede llevarse a cualquiera de los dos lados dependiendo del trasfondo económico-social y de la escena política. En América Latina hay que estudiar en detalle los estilos de liderazgo y las retóricas de los candidatos. Estas variables de primera instancia nos van a permitir dictaminar si el apoyo electoral dará lugar a panoramas fascistas o autoritarios como los de la Europa de la primera mitad del siglo XX.

https://www.yumpu.com/fr/document/view/48817576/loudmourtie-et-les-oudmourts-en-1994-actat-des-lieux-et- ; International audience ; What is the present stage of the national identity conscience of the Udmurt population and which are the perspectives of survival of this ethnic group? These are the questions the article intends to consider, using different kind of materials, including expeditions to Udmurtia. The first and main opposition is between the town (especially the capital Izhevsk), which is Russian, and the countryside, where the traditional way of life is still alive. The Udmurt identity is based in the countryside, but most of the active Udmurt leaders, most of the intellectuals, live in town, in a Russian environment, far from their roots; they must adapt to everyday life conditions. The Udmurt from the countryside, living in villages, often feel that those who should represent them are too distant: there is an increasing gap between those two groups of Udmurt. The life in the countryside is still hard: most of the material and spiritual tasks are in charge of the women, the masculine population suffers in large proportions of alcoholism. Women are also the most active bearers of the traditional culture: handcrafts, folklore. The history has been severe to the Udmurt, and has deeply rooted fear in the people's psychology. This fear can't disappear so soon, and makes the Udmurt population quite frail in its survival purpose. Nevertheless in the last ten years there has been a formidable evolution. In connection with the political events in Russia, the Udmurt have created their own organizations; among them Kenesh, a political organization, which has already organized two all-Udmurt Congresses. The dignity of the Udmurt language, of the Udmurt identity has been confined. There are new newspapers, magazines, and although the material conditions of the literary life are getting more and more difficult, some voices are emerging, as those of some remarkable poetesses: Alla Kuznetzova, Tatyana Chernova, Galina Romanova, Lyudmilla Kutyanova, Lyubov Tihonova… The Udmurt identity is expressed also in other ways: by the developments of the sciences more connected with ethnicity as history, archaeology, literary research, folklore, ethnology. Some foreign scholars' researches about Udmurt literature, which were harshly criticized fifteen years ago, have now been published in Izhevsk. Udmurtia has been a closed region, prohibited to foreigners, until the last years. This isolation is now finished, but the outside world remains deeply alien. The better known countries are Hungary, Finland and Estonia. The president of Hungary has visited in 1993 all Russia's Finno-Ugric regions, his interest has encouraged the national conscience. Finland is psychologically very far and very different, but the contacts are developing especially between scholars. Estonia could be the closest, for the common Soviet past helps communication and the understanding by Estonians of the real life conditions in Udmurtia. But all Estonian connections are suspect for political reasons, as the young Republic is not real] y appreciated by Russian press and media. There has been clear progress in national conscience. But is it enough? Russia is changing, but Udmurtia, as an important industrial region, as a centre of arms production, is too important to the central government to be neglected. The survival of the Udmurt as a specific culture depends on their own will to preserve their particular features. ; L'auteur étudie l'état actuel de la conscience nationale chez les Oudmourtes à partir de sources diverses, dont des enquêtes sur le terrain. Une première contradiction oppose la ville, russe, à la campagne, qui a gardé son caractère originel. C'est là qu'est sise l'identité oudmourte, ce qui met les citadins en porte-à-faux. Or parmi ceux-ci on trouve les intellectuels, qui doivent s'adapter à un monde étranger. D'où un fossé interne à la population oudmourte, une méfiance virtuelle entre ces deux groupes, aggravée par la peur que l'histoire a enracinée au coeur des gens. Ces dernières années ont connu un formidable réveil, avec la naissance d'organisations oudmourtes. La langue, l'identité oudmourte retrouvent une dignité nouvelle. Or l'Oudmourtie est un enjeu de taille pour Moscou : l'action des organisations oudmourtes dispose donc d'un espace limité. Mais l'éveil se manifeste ailleurs aussi : des revues ont été créées, des voix se font entendre en littérature et notamment en poésie. Dans la recherche on perçoit des changements : les recherches d'histoire ancienne, d'ethnologie et de folklore, ont pris un nouvel essor, on publie des études de spécialistes étrangers. Avec l'ouverture de cette république naguère interdite aux étrangers, les pays les plus présents sont la Hongrie, qui a manifesté au plus haut niveau son intérêt pour les Finno-Ougriens de Russie, la Finlande, à qui revient l'initiative d'échanges de chercheurs et l'Estonie, considérée comme ennemie dans la Russie d'aujourd'hui… Dans un monde en plein bouleversement, la question des perspectives se pose en termes aigus : les indiscutables évolutions dans le sens d'un maintien et d'un développement de l'identité oudmourte suffisent-elles à assurer sa survie ?

The Carole Ashkinaze papers are organized into three series consisting of manuscript materials (correspondence), printed materials (her columns, research articles and articles written about Carole Ashkinaze), and finally photographs and artifacts. The majority of the manuscripts and printed materials are related to Ashkinaze's coverage of the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in Georgia, letters from readers regarding her columns both applauding and denigrating her work, her ideas on race, poverty and politics, and some personal material. Series I is dedicated to correspondence she received while working at Newsday, the Atlanta Journal & Constitution and the Chicago Sun-Times, circa 1974-1992. Series II contains printed materials, the bulk of which are her columns from the AJC and the CST. This series also contains her own research materials, articles that Ashkinaze read about pertinent social issues, and articles that were perhaps used in her 1991 book, The Closing Door: Conservative Policy and Black Opportunity, which she co-authored with Gary Orfield. In this series there are also a number of articles chronicling her professional achievements. Series III contains a small collection of photographs, artifacts and some of the many journalism awards (plaques and framed certificates) she received during her early career, including a replica of the Pulitzer Prize Gold Medal, which she shared for investigative reporting at Newsday (presented to her by her employer, who retains the actual gold medal), and a resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives in recognition of her columns on women's issues. Ashkinaze was pleased that her columns and a weekly TV show ("About Women") she hosted on the newspaper's cable channel helped to persuade the legislature to rid the Georgia Code of discriminatory rules and language, and to install a long-overdue women's restroom for female legislators in the Georgia House chamber. ; Carole Ashkinaze was born in Manhattan, New York, on January 20th 1945. Ashkinaze spent her childhood in the suburban town of Malverne, Long Island in Nassau County, approximately twenty miles outside of New York [City]. She attended St. Lawrence University in New York, spending her junior year abroad (at the Sorbonne and the University of Rouen) and graduated with honors from St. Lawrence; then went on to pursue a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1967. After graduating, Ashkinaze went to work for Newsday on Long Island, remaining six and a half years. But it was her role as reporter and then columnist and editorial board member for the Atlanta Journal & Constitution that won her national recognition. Ashkinaze worked for the AJC from 1976 through 1989, eventually moving to the Chicago Sun-Times, working as both a columnist and as a member of the editorial board. In Atlanta, Ashkinaze wrote about a number of controversial issues including the Equal Rights Amendment, abortion, women's rights, feminism, poverty, health-care, politics, education and race. In Chicago, where Ashkinaze was the only pro-choice commentator for any major Chicago news organization, and a member of the Chicago Sun-Times editorial board, her columns won many journalism awards and a large popular following; she was also a popular radio and TV personality, and regular panelist on "The Lassiter Group." Her pro-choice columns in the Sun-Times also made her a target of abortion foes, one of whom sent her several nude pictures of himself, bearing obscene messages. In 1992, following the publication of her 1991 book, The Closing Door: Conservative Policy and Black Opportunity (with Gary Orfield), about race and poverty, Ashkinaze left the Sun-Times and returned to Atlanta to work with former President Jimmy Carter on his first domestic policy initiative, The Atlanta Project (later called The America Project), which was an attempt to alleviate the worst aspects of poverty across an entire community. She contributed her services to that project, working pro bono until the following year, when she was named Media Chief of the United Nations Children's Fund and moved to New York. She later left UNICEF and moved to Washington, D.C. as a freelance journalist, writing for such national publications as Business Week, Horizon, and Moment magazines. After the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington, she became a consultant to the American Civil Liberties Union. Reports she wrote and edited for the ACLU included Civil Liberties After 9/11 (2002) and Freedom Under Fire (2003). She also worked with the Communications Consortium Media Center, the Harvard Civil Rights Project, the Fulbright Program and other nonprofits. ; These items have been digitized from preservation photocopies of original news clippings.

She attended St. Lawrence University in New York, spending her junior year abroad (at the Sorbonne and the University of Rouen) and graduated with honors from St. Lawrence; then went on to pursue a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1967. After graduating, Ashkinaze went to work for Newsday on Long Island, remaining six and a half years. But it was her role as reporter and then columnist and editorial board member for the Atlanta Journal & Constitution that won her national recognition. Ashkinaze worked for the AJC from 1976 through 1989, eventually moving to the Chicago Sun-Times, working as both a columnist and as a member of the editorial board. In Atlanta, Ashkinaze wrote about a number of controversial issues including the Equal Rights Amendment, abortion, women's rights, feminism, poverty, health-care, politics, education and race. In Chicago, where Ashkinaze was the only pro-choice commentator for any major Chicago news organization, and a member of the Chicago Sun-Times editorial board, her columns won many journalism awards and a large popular following; she was also a popular radio and TV personality, and regular panelist on "The Lassiter Group." Her pro-choice columns in the Sun-Times also made her a target of abortion foes, one of whom sent her several nude pictures of himself, bearing obscene messages. In 1992, following the publication of her 1991 book, The Closing Door: Conservative Policy and Black Opportunity (with Gary Orfield), about race and poverty, Ashkinaze left the Sun-Times and returned to Atlanta to work with former President Jimmy Carter on his first domestic policy initiative, The Atlanta Project (later called The America Project), which was an attempt to alleviate the worst aspects of poverty across an entire community. She contributed her services to that project, working pro bono until the following year, when she was named Media Chief of the United Nations Children's Fund and moved to New York. She later left UNICEF and moved to Washington, D.C. as a freelance journalist, writing for such national publications as Business Week, Horizon, and Moment magazines. After the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington, she became a consultant to the American Civil Liberties Union. Reports she wrote and edited for the ACLU included Civil Liberties After 9/11 (2002) and Freedom Under Fire (2003).

The Carole Ashkinaze papers are organized into three series consisting of manuscript materials (correspondence), printed materials (her columns, research articles and articles written about Carole Ashkinaze), and finally photographs and artifacts. The majority of the manuscripts and printed materials are related to Ashkinaze's coverage of the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in Georgia, letters from readers regarding her columns both applauding and denigrating her work, her ideas on race, poverty and politics, and some personal material. Series I is dedicated to correspondence she received while working at Newsday, the Atlanta Journal & Constitution and the Chicago Sun-Times, circa 1974-1992. Series II contains printed materials, the bulk of which are her columns from the AJC and the CST. This series also contains her own research materials, articles that Ashkinaze read about pertinent social issues, and articles that were perhaps used in her 1991 book, The Closing Door: Conservative Policy and Black Opportunity, which she co-authored with Gary Orfield. In this series there are also a number of articles chronicling her professional achievements. Series III contains a small collection of photographs, artifacts and some of the many journalism awards (plaques and framed certificates) she received during her early career, including a replica of the Pulitzer Prize Gold Medal, which she shared for investigative reporting at Newsday (presented to her by her employer, who retains the actual gold medal), and a resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives in recognition of her columns on women's issues.
