  • Green Parties and Elections to the European Parliament, 1979–2019 Green Par Elections
    Chapter 1 Green Parties and Elections, 1979–2019 Green parties and elections to the European Parliament, 1979–2019 Wolfgang Rüdig Introduction The history of green parties in Europe is closely intertwined with the history of elections to the European Parliament. When the first direct elections to the European Parliament took place in June 1979, the development of green parties in Europe was still in its infancy. Only in Belgium and the UK had green parties been formed that took part in these elections; but ecological lists, which were the pre- decessors of green parties, competed in other countries. Despite not winning representation, the German Greens were particularly influ- enced by the 1979 European elections. Five years later, most partic- ipating countries had seen the formation of national green parties, and the first Green MEPs from Belgium and Germany were elected. Green parties have been represented continuously in the European Parliament since 1984. Subsequent years saw Greens from many other countries joining their Belgian and German colleagues in the Euro- pean Parliament. European elections continued to be important for party formation in new EU member countries. In the 1980s it was the South European countries (Greece, Portugal and Spain), following 4 GREENS FOR A BETTER EUROPE their successful transition to democracies, that became members. Green parties did not have a strong role in their national party systems, and European elections became an important focus for party develop- ment. In the 1990s it was the turn of Austria, Finland and Sweden to join; green parties were already well established in all three nations and provided ongoing support for Greens in the European Parliament.

European Studies Program, International Institute, University of Wisconsin--Madison Madison, Wisconsin http://polyglot.lss.wisc.edu/eur/ 1 Dimensions and Alignments in European Union Politics: Cognitive Constraints and Partisan Responses Simon Hix Department of Government, London School of Economics and Political Science, London, United Kingdom Abstract As the European Union (EU) has evolved, the study agenda has shifted from ‘European integration’ to ‘EU politics’. Missing from this new agenda, however, is an understanding of the ‘cognitive constraints’ on actors, and how actors respond: i.e. the shape of the EU ‘political space’ and the location of social groups and competition between actors within this space. The article develops a theoretical framework for understanding the shape of the EU political space (the interaction between an Integration-Independence and a Left-Right dimension and the location of class and sectoral groups within this map), and tests this framework on the policy positions of the Socialist, Christian Democrat and Liberal party leaders between 1976 and 1994 (using the techniques of the ECPR Party Manifestos Group Project).

    https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-world/2015/vanuatu#.VfF8R1QqZ3U.cleanprint Vanuatu freedomhouse.org In May 2014, Prime Minister Moana Carcasses Kalosil of the Green Confederation (GC) was removed from office by a no-confidence vote initiated by the opposition. He was replaced by Joe Natuman, who himself withstood a motion of no-confidence brought by Carcasses within weeks of taking office. In January, Parliament approved the controversial Capital Investment Immigration Program, which takes advantage of the desire of mainland Chinese citizens to acquire residency in Hong Kong, for which they must have resident status in a country other than China. In exchange for $300,000 in combined application fees and investments in Vanuatu, the program offers citizenship in Vanuatu without requiring that applicants physically reside in or even visit the island nation. A Hong Kong–based firm has been contracted to execute the program. Some critics oppose the program for its lack of transparency, while others have voiced opposition to the sale of citizenship. Vanuatu continued to develop bilateral ties with China in 2014, actively seeking more Chinese loans, assistance, investments, and tourism. This relationship has been cause for some domestic discontent, and there is concern from local residents about the growing number of Chinese-owned businesses. Political Rights and Civil Liberties: Political Rights: 32 / 40 [Key] A. Electoral Process: 9 / 12 The constitution provides for parliamentary elections every four years. The prime minister, who appoints his own cabinet, is chosen by the 52-seat unicameral Parliament from among its members. Members of Parliament and the heads of the six provincial governments form an electoral college to select the largely ceremonial president for a five-year term.

  • Report of the Parliamentary Delegation to Vanuatu and New Zealand by the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Co
    Chapter 2 Vanuatu Country brief1 2.1 Vanuatu is an archipelagic nation of 83 islands, extending over 1,000 kilometres in a north-south direction between the equator and the tropic of Capricorn. Vanuatu has a small, dispersed, predominantly rural and culturally diverse population of approximately 250,000 people. Around 70 per cent live in rural areas on 65 of the 83 islands. Formerly known as the New Hebrides, Vanuatu was governed jointly by British and French administrations, in an arrangement known as the Condominium, before attaining independence on 30 July 1980. The country has six provinces (Torba, Sanma, Penama, Malampa, Shefa and Tafea) with limited administrative authority. Political system 2.2 Vanuatu has a unicameral 52-member parliament, elected to a four-year term. The President of the Republic is elected for a five-year term through secret ballot by an electoral college comprising the members of parliament and the presidents of the six provincial governments. The current President, Iolu Johnson Abbil, was elected in September 2009. The Prime Minister is elected by parliament from among its members by secret ballot. 2.3 Vanuatu is the only Pacific country with multi-member electorates. The proliferation of political parties is seen, by some, as one reason for persistent political instability. Until about 1991 the main political divide in Vanuatu was between Anglophones and Francophones, respectively represented by the Vanua’aku Pati (VP) and United Moderates Party (UMP). During the last decade, parties have been splintering over policy and, more often, personality differences, in a manner more typical of other Melanesian countries like Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands.

  • Cult and Culture: American Dreams in Vanuatu1
    PACIFIC STUDIES Vol. IV, No. 2 Spring 1981 CULT AND CULTURE: AMERICAN DREAMS IN VANUATU1 by Monty Lindstrom During the recent and troubled independence of Vanuatu, marred by se- cessionist attempts on two of its islands (Tanna and Santo), an “American connection” attracted international attention. This connection consisted of an idealized conception of America entertained by certain ni-Vanuatu (people of Vanuatu) and of a number of links between political organiza- tions in both countries, A singular concept of America as supreme source of Western material goods, knowledge and power, for example, has been a basic tenet of the John Frum Movement on the island of Tanna. John Frum, unusual for its longevity among South Pacific social movements, is one of those phenomena generally described as “cargo cults” (Worsley 1968, Burridge 1969). One of the factors sustaining the John Frum cult during the past forty years is the special relationship it claims with the United States. This relationship originated in a Tannese-American inter- action during 1942 to 1946 when the United States government estab- lished large military supply bases in the New Hebrides. The John Frum cult has evolved over the years through a number of organizational and ideological phases. The most recent of these was the participation by cult members in a revolt during May and June 1980 against the soon-to-be independent government of Vanuatu. This seces- sionist attempt on Tanna, and a companion one on the northern island Santo by members of a second organization called Nagriamel, received at 1Vanuatu, once the New Hebrides, achieved its independence on 30 July 1980.
