In order to overcome the cultural divergences of recipient countries, UN diplomatic texts use vague words quite extensively, which could lead to biased or even strategically-motivated interpretations of resolutions, undermining their legal impact. - - This book proposes a linguistic analysis of whether the use of strategic vagueness in Security Council resolutions has contributed to the breakout of the Second Gulf War instead of a diplomatic solution to the controversy. - - The hypothesis is discussed through an analysis of the UN resolutions relating to the war, and reinforced through an analysis of US legislation related to the authorization for war, revealing how the US has interpreted UN legislation, in order to see how vague expressions used in UN resolutions have allowed the US to interpret them as a means to go to war. - - A second section of the work attempts to understand whether the same patterns have been used in resolutions relating to the Iranian nuclear crisis in 2010, revealing a relationship between the choice of vague linguistic features and the use of intentional vagueness as a political strategy. - - -Iraq War, 2003-2011Iraq War, 2003-2011Diplomatic historyIraq War, 2003-2011.Iraq War, 2003-2011Diplomatic history.956.704432Scotto di Carlo Giuseppina1983-1509473MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786825603321Vagueness as a political strategy3741379UNINA01991nam 2200433 450 991081005580332120210909114445.01-63076-168-0(CKB)3710000000541528(MiAaPQ)EBC5188819(Au-PeEL)EBL5188819(CaPaEBR)ebr11486402(OCoLC)933568389(EXLCZ)99371000000054152820210909d2015 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierRomancing the roadsVolume IIWest of the Mississippi a driving diva's firsthand guide /Gerry Hempel DavisLanham, Maryland :Taylor Trade Publishing,[2015]©20151 online resource (ix, 391 pages)1-63076-167-2 Intro -- CONTENTS -- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -- INTRODUCTION -- LOUISIANA -- ARKANSAS -- MISSOURI -- IOWA -- MINNESOTA -- SOUTH DAKOTA -- NEBRASKA -- KANSAS -- OKLAHOMA -- TEXAS -- NEW MEXICO -- COLORADO -- WYOMING -- MONTANA -- IDAHO -- UTAH -- ARIZONA -- NEVADA -- WASHINGTON -- OREGON -- CALIFORNIA -- LATEST DISCOVERIES (2015) -- CONTRIBUTORS -- INDEX.This updated compendium of observations, discoveries, reviews, serendipities, humor, experiences, and more is not only for the road traveler, but the armchair traveler as well.
