  • Globalization Will Bring Democracy to the Muslims
    Globalization Will Bring Democracy to the Muslims By David Hale As appeared in the Wall Street Journal Europe on June 3rd, 2003 The decision of the Bush administration to pursue new free trade and investment agreements with the countries of the Middle East is both timely and wise. One of the factors that has helped to set the stage for the poverty and political backwardness of the Middle East is the economic isolation of the region. The Muslim world with the exception of a few Asian countries has not really shared in the globalization process that has driven the world economy during recent decades. There are about 49 countries whose populations are predominately Muslim and another four which are half Muslim. There are a few Muslim countries that are highly integrated in the global economy, such as Malaysia. But the great majority have long pursued policies hostile to foreign trade and investment. The result is a very large imbalance between the Muslim share of world population and the Muslim share of global trade and investment. The 49 predominately Muslim countries have about 1.12 billion people, or about 18% of the world total. There are 186 million in Africa, 310 million in the Middle East, and 625 million in central and East Asia. There are another 90 million Muslims in African countries that have majority non-Muslim populations. There are also 35 million Muslims in China and 20 million in Russia. And of course, India has the world's largest Muslim "minority" population, 140 million. The exports of the 49 Muslim countries are about $515.7 billion per annum, or 8% of the world total.

    WATERLOOVILLE U3A MODERN HISTORY GROUP 1 PROJECT 2020 Waterlooville U3A Modern History Group 1 Research Projects 2020 Introduction Prior to the restrictions brought about by Covid 19, our Modern History Group met fortnightly on a Thursday morning at the home of one of our members. Each session, members would take it in turn to bring a subject of historical interest to the table that they had researched. This would be presented to the group, followed by much lively discussion led by Ted Packer our Group Co-Ordinator Since March of course we have not been able to meet ‘round the table’ but from the beginning of August we resumed our sessions using Zoom. After some initial reservations and getting to grips with the technology, most of the group have come back together and our sessions have continued much as before. The aim of the group has always been, in keeping with the U3A ethos, to learn through our own research and endeavours and to enjoy sharing that knowledge with others in a friendly and enjoyable manner. When, through necessity, the Open Day was cancelled in October, the Group came up with the idea of sharing our collectively gained knowledge more widely by posting a precis of each of our research topics from 2020 on the WU3A website. As you will see, the subjects are varied and wide ranging and invoked much debate and discussion. We hope you enjoy reading what follows and that it may inspire you to find out more! Anna Leonowens (1831 – 1915) Anna Leonowens was born in 1831 to a military family in British India and later became a tutor to the King of Siam's children.

  • An Interview with Morris L. Cohen*
    LAW LIBRARY JOURNAL Vol. 104:1 [2012-15] Reflections: An Interview with Morris L. Cohen* In December 2007, Bonnie Collier, then the Associate Librarian of Administration at Yale’s Lillian Goldman Law Library, interviewed Morris Cohen as part of a series of interviews with Yale Law School faculty called “Reflections.” This is an edited version of that interview. ¶1 Bonnie Collier: We’ve agreed to begin with a biographical conversation for the first part of the interview and then move on to an informal conversation. ¶2 Morris Cohen: Well, I guess if I’m beginning with my pre-Yale life, I will begin in Brooklyn, where I grew up. Brooklyn is, for most of its citizens, part of their very being. It’s at the center of their being. It’s a devotion that you never lose. Brooklyn was, at once, at least in the 1930s when I grew up there, cosmopolitan in its interests, certainly in its education. And while cosmopolitan, it was also provin- cial. That is, we were the center of the universe. Going across the bridge to Manhattan was like going to a foreign country. So it was a funny combination of things. ¶3 I can recall my main interest as a kid was sports. Participatory sports, although I wasn’t a very good athlete. I liked to participate in almost all the sports that were part of our seasonal cycle: stickball, street hockey, stoopball, and in sum- mer camp, which was another center of my world, I played all the traditional sports. ¶4 And spectator sports.

Unanimity and Desegregation: Decisionmaking in the Supreme Court, 1948-1958* DENNIS J. HUTCHINSON** By a process that has been the subject of considerable speculation, the United States Supreme Court reached a unanimous decision in the 1954 cases of Brown v. Board of Education and Bolling v. Sharpe, declaring unconstitutional statutory segregation in public school systems in the states and in the District of Columbia. Using previously unpublished material, Professor Hutchinson traces the rise and fall of unanimity in the segregation cases of the 1950's. The article delineates the Court's internal decisionmaking process and analyzes the role of unanimity in influencing the response of both the Court and the nation to the escalating challenges to the separationof the races.
