  • Panama: Land Administration Project (Loan No
    Report No. 56565-PA Investigation Report Panama: Land Administration Project (Loan No. 7045-PAN) September 16, 2010 About the Panel The Inspection Panel was created in September 1993 by the Board of Executive Directors of the World Bank to serve as an independent mechanism to ensure accountability in Bank operations with respect to its policies and procedures. The Inspection Panel is an instrument for groups of two or more private citizens who believe that they or their interests have been or could be harmed by Bank-financed activities to present their concerns through a Request for Inspection. In short, the Panel provides a link between the Bank and the people who are likely to be affected by the projects it finances. Members of the Panel are selected “on the basis of their ability to deal thoroughly and fairly with the request brought to them, their integrity and their independence from the Bank’s Management, and their exposure to developmental issues and to living conditions in developing countries.”1 The three-member Panel is empowered, subject to Board approval, to investigate problems that are alleged to have arisen as a result of the Bank having failed to comply with its own operating policies and procedures. Processing Requests After the Panel receives a Request for Inspection it is processed as follows: • The Panel decides whether the Request is prima facie not barred from Panel consideration. • The Panel registers the Request—a purely administrative procedure. • The Panel sends the Request to Bank Management, which has 21 working days to respond to the allegations of the Requesters.

On October 30th, 1963, while climbing the steps of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome to attend a session of the Second Vatican Council, the Dutch-born Archbishop of Panama, Francis Beckmann, C.M., collapsed of a heart attack and died. This sudden death symbolized the end of one historic era and the beginning of another. Since 1903, the year of Panamanian independence from Colombia, the head Bishop of Panama had always been a foreign-born missionary. After sixty years, the changing times in Latin America had finally caught up with the Isthmian Church. Beckmann's successor as Archbishop would be an Isthmian-born diocesan priest. In 1972, Panama's revolutionary government would expressly write into the new constitution that "officials of the Catholic Church in Panama .

  • Emergent Identities in the African Diaspora: “The Bocas Way”
    Emergent Identities in the African Diaspora: “The Bocas Way” By Jerry J. Howard Jr. A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Laurie A. Wilkie, Chair Professor Rosemary A. Joyce Professor Ugo Nwokeji Spring 2014 1 Abstract Emergent Identities in Bocas del Toro, Panama: Diaspora “The Bocas Way” By Jerry J. Howard Jr. Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Laurie Wilkie, Chair This dissertation is an example of community-engaged scholarship. Working with descendant communities in Bocas del Toro, I have conducted ethnographic and oral historical accounts, archival research, and archaeological excavations. My work combines these sources to trace how identities are created, maintained, and change over time. I argue for the importance of social context in identity formation and explore how identity in Bocas del Toro is often expressed through foodways. Today Bocas del Toro, Panama is a diverse racial and ethnic gumbo that has produced a unique Afro-creole culture. The culture area primarily consists of self- identified Afro-Antilleans, but with important contributions from Latino, Chinese, indigenous Panamanians and wealthy White European and American retirees and adventurers. Within the written history of this fascinating culture there are many silences and unanswered questions regarding the early Afro-Antillean inhabitants. My research offers insight into the chronology and components of the present-day culture and explains current demographic trends as well as the local culture history. My research further offers insight into the interactions and trade spheres that developed and supported the early post contact inhabitants during a time when neither the Spanish nor the English had firm control over the region.

  • Hydro Dams and the Riverine Ecosystems of Mesoamerica – the Case of the La Amistad Biosphere Reserve (Panama) and Its Implications
    History Repeats? Hydro Dams and the Riverine Ecosystems of MesoAmerica – The Case of the La Amistad Biosphere Reserve (Panama) and its Implications. William O. McLarney Imagine that a third of all the fish species, including virtually all the larger species which contribute to fisheries, plus most of the crayfish, were eliminated from six states of the United States. And assume that this and consequent secondary effects on riverine ecosystems, including several large rivers lying within National Parks and Forests, were documented in the scientific literature. And let us suppose that the blame for this damage could clearly be assigned to a single type of human activity, undertaken without adequate prior consideration of ecosystem effects. Now, imagine that decades into the future the exact same activities were proposed for six more states. It is easy to imagine what comes next: Conservationists rush to the barricades, biologists predict the consequences, volumes of correspondence land on the desks of elected officials and bureaucrats, alternatives are proposed, fundraising campaigns are launched . The second half of this scenario is being enacted right now, not in the continental United States, but just to the south, and the impact stands to be felt in most of the National Parks, Biosphere Reserves and protected areas of the Mesoamerican isthmus, stretching for over 1,000 miles from Chiapas (Mexico) to the Choco (Colombia). The precedent is from the West Indies: The greater part of the aquatic biota of some of the larger West Indian islands has already been eliminated. The best documented cases are from Puerto Rico and Guadeloupe, where nearly all rivers have been dammed, resulting in complete elimination of native fish and shrimps above some dams, and drastic reductions in every case.
