  • Abstract International Peace & Security Symposium 2011
    International Peace & Security Symposium 2011 －Challenges in Multi-dimensional PKO and Integrated Peace Missions－ 7(Wed) and 8(Thu) December 2011 Mita Tokyo Japan Peacekeeping Training and Research Center Joint Staff College The views expressed at the Symposium and in this publication are those of the participants, and do not necessarily represent the views of their organizations. Preface The "Japan Peacekeeping Training and Research Center" (JPC) was commissioned under the Joint Staff College in March 2010. After a preparatory period of about one year, it is a great honor and pleasure of all members of the JPC and the Joint Staff College to announce that the memorable first "International Peace and Security Symposium 2011" is held on 7 and 8 December in Tokyo. This symposium will have significant meaning as the first step toward the series of "International Peace and Security Symposium". The series is designed to enhance and facilitate knowledge, understanding, and perspectives on cutting edge issues among the most recent Peace and Security Activities conducted by the United Nations or relevant international frameworks. In each symposium, prominent experts and eminent scholars will be invited to present their insights and discuss the challenging issues, from the urgent and specific to latent and cross-cutting. Emergent interdisciplinary approaches from practical experts and academics are expected to bring the more profound perspectives to all participants on the current or future peace operations in the broad contexts in international societies. This year's symposium will highlight the general perspective of current UNPKO as the theme "Challenges in Multi-dimensional PKO and Integrated Peace Missions".

  • United Nations Operations in Liberia
    CHALLENGES OF CHANGE: THE NATURE OF PEACE OPERATIONS IN THE 21ST CENTURY AND CONTINUING NEED FOR REFORM Jacques Paul Klein Special Representative of the Secretary General and Coordinator of the United Nations Operations in Liberia There is an old maxim in peacekeeping – before you ask a wise man, ask someone who has done it. I am pleased to see here this morning so many people who have done it. It is a great pleasure to address this important conference. I would like to thank the organizers for giving me the opportunity to discuss my views of the challenges and future of United Nations peacekeeping. My basic standpoint may be simply stated. UN peacekeeping, which was out of fashion for a period, is now back. The UN has a unique legal and moral authority as well as valuable operational experience in international peacekeeping. While the increasing calls for peacekeeping missions make cooperation and burden sharing essential, the UN is—and should remain—the nucleus of activity. I speak as a practitioner with eight years experience in both UN and non-UN operations. I deliver my remarks today in my capacity as the SRSG to Liberia but I will also draw on my experience from the Balkans—heading UNMIBH and UNTAES. I will divide my comments into two parts. First, an overview of the important qualities and strengths of UN peacekeeping. Secondly, I will outline what I have come to recognize as five prerequisites for success once the decision has been made to engage. They are: a clear mandate; a solid organizational structure; strategic planning; strength in leadership and support; and finally, an organized closure of the mission.

APPROVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Peter Ehrenhaus, Chair Steve Kosokof Earl Rees This thesis is a study of La Nacion, the largest circulating newspaper in Costa Rica. The purpose of this study is to examine whether claims made by La Nacion regarding their fairness and balance of news coverage are justified. In view of La Nacion's own editorial statements and the journalistic profession's commitment to "objectivity," this study seeks to establish: {l) if there is a systematic bias in La Nacion's news coverage; (2) if there is, what is the direction or character of this bias; and 2 (3) what is the relationship between the bias found in the news reporting and the editorial posture? One month of La Nacion's issues, from June 1 to June 30, 1988, was selected for analysis.

  • Izquierda Y Populismo. Alternativas Al Neoliberalismo En Venezuela
    Izquierda y populismo: alternativas al neoliberalismo en Venezuela1 Edgardo Lander I. El Pacto de Punto Fijo y la izquierda En el año 1958, con el derrocamiento de la dictadura militar de Marcos Pérez Jiménez, se inicia en Venezuela el período democrático del llamado puntofijismo, pacto de gobernabilidad que tiene como protagonistas a los dos principales partidos políticos del país (Acción Democrática y Copei), contando con el respaldo de las Fuerzas Armadas, la alta jerarquía de la Iglesia Católica, la principal federación sindical, la Confederación de Trabajadores de Venezuela (CTV), y la mayor organización empresarial, la Federación de Cámaras de Comercio y Producción (FEDECÁMARAS) (López Maya y Gómez Calcaño 1989). En un clima de amplia conflictividad social, en poco tiempo se va agudizando la confrontación entre un régimen político excluyente con estrechos márgenes de tolerancia para la disidencia y una izquierda crecientemente radicalizada. En el año 1960 se suspenden las garantías constitucionales y se clausuran los periódicos de izquierda. Los dirigentes sindicales de ésta son pasados al tribunal disciplinario de la CTV. La suspensión de garantías se reafirma el mismo día de la aprobación de la nueva Constitución en el año 1961. Bajo la influencia de la Revolución Cubana se inicia la lucha armada. Son inhabilitados el Partido Comunista de Venezuela (PCV) y el Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR), primer desprendimiento de Acción Democrática.
