Belmont, Mass. - Prof. Erik Goldstein, Chairman of Boston University's
Department of International Relations, will give a talk entitled "Great
Britain and the Re-Emergence of Armenian Statehood," at the luncheon
program preceding the 55th Annual Assembly of Members of the National
Association for Armenian Studies and Research on Saturday, May 16,
at the NAASR Headquarters, 395 Concord Ave., Belmont, MA. The Assembly
will be convened at noon and lunch will be served at 12:15 p.m.
Britain as Great Power and the Armenians As one of the "Great Powers"
that exerted its influence around the world throughout the 19th and
into the 20th centuries, Great Britain had a major impact on political
developments affecting the Armenians, including the Armenian Question
of the late 19th century, the Armenian Genocide, and the Armenian
Republic established in 1918. There was great interest in Armenia
in Britain and sympathy for the Armenians among the British people,
but to what extent did this have an impact on British policies and
projections of its power?
Prof. Goldstein's research interests include diplomacy, formulation
of national diplomatic strategies, the origins and resolution of
armed conflict, and negotiation. He is the author of Winning the
Peace: British Diplomatic Strategy, Peace Planning, and the Paris
Peace Conference, 1916-1920 (1991); Wars and Peace Treaties (1992);
The First World War's Peace Settlements: International Relations,
1918 - 1925 (2002); and Power and Stability: British Foreign Policy,
1865-1965 (2003). He has edited and co-edited numerous volumes and
is also the founder-editor of the journal Diplomacy & Statecraft and
he serves on the editorial board of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies.
Reports on NAASR Programs and Goals Following the luncheon, those
attending the 55th Assembly of Members will be informed about
NAASR's ongoing efforts to further Armenian studies, research, and
publication. Reports will be presented by the Board of Directors
on organizational, informational, academic, and financial matters;
and the election of Directors will be held. In addition, there will
be reports by the Assembly's special committees on Nominations,
Constitution and Rules, New Business and Resolutions, and Auditing.
The chairmen of the special committees are Stephen Kurkjian of Manomet,
Nominating; Aram Karakashian of Waltham, Constitution and Rules;
