Scholarly research has identified three distinct conceptual models of how presidents manage their decision-making systems – the competitive, formalistic, and collegial models. This article examines how Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump managed their advisory systems and formulated their policies toward Syria after the Assad regime employed chemical weapons against its people. The case studies demonstrate that each president employed a different approach to the decision-making processes, which significantly influenced the U.S. response to Syria’s use of chemical weapons.Item Metadata only A Tour of the Palace of Calculation: Some Laboratory Notes on ‘45 Days in the Company of Robert Walser’(Shuddhashar FreeVoice, 2024-05-01) Perril, S. D.This essay contextualizes my poetry sequence ‘45 Days in the Company of Robert Walser’, that appears in full in my book Two Duets with Occasion (Shearsman 2024). It discusses my use of Walser’s novel Jakob Von Gunten (sometimes published, and filmed as, Institute Benjamenta), and Melville’s short story ‘Bartleby, the Scrivener’.

This fresh and innovative perspective on Jewish merchant activity shows how this list was a component of broader trade connections that developed between the Islamic Mediterranean and South Asia in the Middle Ages. Drawing on a close reading of this unique twelfth-century document, found in the Cairo Genizah and written in India by North African merchant Abraham Ben Yiju, Lambourn focuses on the domestic material culture and foods that structured the daily life of such India traders, on land and at sea. This is an exploration of the motivations and difficulties of maintaining homes away from home, and the compromises that inevitably ensued. Abraham's Luggage demonstrates the potential for writing challenging new histories in the accidental survival of apparently ordinary ephemera.Item Metadata only “Absent Friends”: The Addressee in Arthur Hugh Clough’s Amours de Voyage.(2011-06) Phelan, J. P.Item Metadata only Absent Histories and Absent Images: Photographs, Museums and the Colonial Past(University of Leicester, 2013-03) Edwards, Elizabeth; Mead, MattBased on research in a range of UK museums, this paper explores the visibility and invisibility of the photographic legacy of colonial relations and the representation of the colonial past in museum galleries. It explores the conditions of the ‘invisibility’ and ‘disavowal’ of the colonial past in the historical narrative developed by museums, and the anxieties that cluster around such narratives in a postcolonial and multicultural society. The paper argues that the photographic legacy of the colonial past offers a way into those histories, but it is one that can only be realized through the critical engagement with photographs themselves and the work they might be made to do in museums. As an example, it examines the active and complex role of photographs played in the galleries of the British Empire and Commonwealth Museum, Bristol. It concludes that the failure of museums to integrate colonial pasts into their narratives has worked against the wider liberal agendas to which museums subscribe, and that photographic invisibility is both a symptom of and metaphor for the ‘invisibility’ of the colonial past.Item Metadata only 'According to John James: a Poem with Many Authors'(Shearsman Books, 2018-10) Perril, S.
