  • Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa's Dominant
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Eroding Dominance from Below: Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa’s Dominant Party System A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Safia Abukar Farole 2019 © Copyright by Safia Abukar Farole 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Eroding Dominance from Below: Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa’s Dominant Party System by Safia Abukar Farole Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Kathleen Bawn, Chair In countries ruled by a single party for a long period of time, how does political opposition to the ruling party grow? In this dissertation, I study the growth in support for the Democratic Alliance (DA) party, which is the largest opposition party in South Africa. South Africa is a case of democratic dominant party rule, a party system in which fair but uncompetitive elections are held. I argue that opposition party growth in dominant party systems is explained by the strategies that opposition parties adopt in local government and the factors that shape political competition in local politics. I argue that opposition parties can use time spent in local government to expand beyond their base by delivering services effectively and outperforming the ruling party. I also argue that performance in subnational political office helps opposition parties build a reputation for good governance, which is appealing to ruling party ii. supporters who are looking for an alternative. Finally, I argue that opposition parties use candidate nominations for local elections as a means to appeal to constituents that are vital to the ruling party’s coalition.

  • New China and Its Qiaowu: the Political Economy of Overseas Chinese Policy in the People’S Republic of China, 1949–1959
    1 The London School of Economics and Political Science New China and its Qiaowu: The Political Economy of Overseas Chinese policy in the People’s Republic of China, 1949–1959 Jin Li Lim A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2016. 2 Declaration: I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 98,700 words. 3 Abstract: This thesis examines qiaowu [Overseas Chinese affairs] policies during the PRC’s first decade, and it argues that the CCP-controlled party-state’s approach to the governance of the huaqiao [Overseas Chinese] and their affairs was fundamentally a political economy. This was at base, a function of perceived huaqiao economic utility, especially for what their remittances offered to China’s foreign reserves, and hence the party-state’s qiaowu approach was a political practice to secure that economic utility.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • November 5, 2020 Thai Enquirer Summary Political News • As The
    November 5, 2020 Thai Enquirer Summary Political News As the world holds its breath to see who will make it to becoming the next president of the United States, the results that are flowing in are making it look a little clearer. As of 09:00 Thai time Joe Biden was leading in every count that is being declared o 264:214 Domestically embattled Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha’s fate will be decided by the Constitutional Court early next month over his alleged unlawful occupation of an army residence amid constant calls from pro-democracy protesters that carried out months-long rallies. The Constitutional Court set December 2 to rule on a case against Gen Prayut for his prolonged stay in the army-owned residence. The court’s ruling is a result of the opposition’s petition filed by Pheu Thai Party and opposition leader Sompong Amornwiwat who asked the court to consider if Gen Prayut should be disqualified as prime minister and defence minister for remaining in a military house beyond retirement, breaking army regulations and Section 170(4), and Section 184 (3) of the constitution. Pro-democracy activists came out to reject a parliament-initiated plans to form a reconciliation committee, calling it a “political ploy to buy time,” and reiterated the demand for the immediate resignation of embattled Prime Minister Gen Prayuth Chan-o- cha. The protesters have spurned Gen Prayut’s request to join the so-called reconciliation committee appointed through the parliamentary process to resolve ongoing political problems. The proposed committee is poised to discuss the demands of the protesters in a bid to ease political tensions and restart the stalled process for charter amendment later this month.

The International Symposium and Exposition on Agricultural Products Processing and Technology (ISEAPPT) was held to commemorate the success- ful completion of the AP4 Project in which scientists from ASEAN, Japan and the United States were gathered in Bogor from July 31 through August 2, 1984 to exchange views and share updated information in the field of agricul- tural products processing and technology. Major items discussed in the meeting as can be seen in this proceeding included research achievements and experiences from the respective participating countries, the state of the arts of traditional foods and its future improvements and the possibility to develop other food resources available in ASEAN countries. It is our sincere hopes that this proceeding could be utilized effectively as a source of information not only for references in future research programs but also for the practitioners and field engineers as well as for curriculum development in the field of agricultural products processing and technology.
