The undue credit for such varied biodiversity goes to its unique geographical location and the pecular characteristics of this Himalayan region. However, with the advent of global pressure on this tiny Himalayan environment, diminishing of natural resources and threat to biodiversity loss is imposed. It therefore becomes our noble responsilibility for raising awareness at a mass level and to take measure to protect our rich biodiversity. To stimulate such awareness, National Green Corps (NGC) has been the most effective programme at school level. Conceptualized by the Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India in 2001, this programme has reached to almost all schools of Sikkim as an action based environment education programme. NGC programme in Sikkim state is also supported by the State Government with the implementation of State Green Schools Programme in all 182 Sr. Secondary and Secondary level and Paryavaran Mitra programme in all 197 Junior High Shcools for enhancing the schools environment managment system. The programme is now proposed to extend to upto 766 school eco-clubs throughout the state from 2012-13. The programme is of immense importance in Sikkim and has been financially supported from the State’s own environment fund during the discontinuity from the ministry. Funds have been utilized to provide green teacher’s training and environment kits to all school eco-clubs.

Buddhism of Tibet, which is lmown as Vajraya.na Buddhism, has played.. 1:1. significant role in developing the socio-political history of Sikkim and its impact is still being felt in the whole gamut of the political process. Buddhism and the Buddhist community have, from the very beginning, performed a great potential and productive part in the socio-cultural development, in the functioning of the Government, in the formulation of the policy and decision making·, in the legal process and judicial system, in the electoral process and in other political activities. It is continuing to operate as a living force in the shifting political dynamics'of modern Sikkim till now. The present thesis has sought to find out the answers to some specific research questions as to how and why Sikkim emerged as a proto-type of Tibetan La.maist polity, whether the Lamas and the Lhadi-Medis were directly associated and involve!f in the administration of fl>he State, how far the traditional socio-poli tic·al pattern was maintained even after the British Protectorateship and huge Nepali immigration, what were the reasons of the political movement which ultimately led the merger of Sikkim to the Indian Union, what was the role of Buddhism -s 262 :- in the formation of parties, in the question of leadership and in the mobilization of public sentiment, whether the Buddhist class still dominates as the pressure group in the administration, in the legisla­ tion, whether the old Buddhist laws are still in force, do the election process manifest the dominance of the Buddhist community, whether the interest of the Buddhist community is protected in the electoral laws, vhy and how the Buddhist monks are still involved in the political process of Sikkim etc.

  • Media Ownership and News Coverage of International Conflict
    Media Ownership and News Coverage of International Conflict Matthew Baum Yuri Zhukov Harvard Kennedy School University of Michigan matthew [email protected] [email protected] How do differences in ownership of media enterprises shape news coverage of international conflict? We examine this relationship using a new dataset of 591,532 articles on US-led multinational military opera- tions in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo, published by 2,505 newspapers in 116 countries. We find that ownership chains exert a homogenizing effect on the content of newspapers’ coverage of foreign pol- icy, resulting in coverage across co-owned papers that is more similar in scope (what they cover), focus (how much “hard” relative to “soft” news they offer), and diversity (the breadth of topics they include in their coverage of a given issue) relative to coverage across papers that are not co-owned. However, we also find that competitive market pressures can mitigate these homogenizing effects, and incentivize co-owned outlets to differentiate their coverage. Restrictions on press freedom have the opposite impact, increasing the similarity of coverage within ownership chains. February 27, 2018 What determines the information the press reports about war? This question has long concerned polit- ical communication scholars (Hallin 1989, Entman 2004). Yet it is equally important to our understanding of international conflict. Prevailing international relations theories that take domestic politics into account (e.g., Fearon 1994, 1995, Lake and Rothschild 1996, Schultz 2001) rest on the proposition that the efficient flow of information – between political leaders and their domestic audiences, as well as between states involved in disputes – can mitigate the prevalence of war, either by raising the expected domestic political costs of war or by reducing the likelihood of information failure.1 Yet models of domestic politics have long challenged the possibility of a perfectly informed world (Downs 1957: 213).

  • Hazards, Infrastructure, and Indigenous Politics in Sikkim, India
    PRECARITY AND POSSIBILITY AT THE MARGINS: HAZARDS, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND INDIGENOUS POLITICS IN SIKKIM, INDIA Mabel Denzin Gergan A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Geography. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Sara Smith Arturo Escobar Elizabeth Olson Gabriela Valdivia Scott Kirsch © 2016 Mabel Denzin Gergan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mabel Denzin Gergan: Precarity and Possibility at the Margins: Hazards, Infrastructure, and Indigenous Politics in Sikkim, India. (Under the direction of: Dr. Sara Smith) This research aims to understand the intimate linkages between hazards, infrastructure, and indigenous politics in the context of anti-dam activism and a 6.9 magnitude earthquake in the Eastern Himalayan state of Sikkim, India. The Indian Himalayan Region, a climate change hotspot, is witnessing a massive surge in large scale infrastructural development alongside an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural hazard events. Earthquakes and landslides near hydropower project sites, along with incidents of shamanic possession by angered mountain deities, raised serious doubts about the viability of hydropower projects for both local communities and regional technocrats. I take a materialist and postcolonial approach to examine how state apathy combined with the visceral quality of ecological precarity, has prompted solidarity between disparate groups and demands for policies and projects sensitive to the region’s cultural and geo-physical particularities. I also foreground the experiences of indigenous youth to demonstrate how environmental vulnerability has a direct bearing on young people’s lives, labor, and politics.
