How can human security be made tenable? These and many other questions on human security came to our mind before we decided to publish this book.

It explores the historical circumstances in which demands for federalism emerged and the federal settlement enshrined in Nepal’s new Constitution promulgated on 20 September 2015. The question of federalism gained prominence in Nepal’s public discourse during the ‘People’s War’, the ten-year- long armed insurgency (1996-2006) launched by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) to overthrow the government. In fact, the drafting of Nepal’s seventh constitution was part of the peace process that began in 2006. The new dispensation was expected to reflect the political commitment to ‘building a New Nepal’ – an inclusive and democratic polity – through a radical programme of state restructuring. The Maoists, together with various ethno-cultural and regional groups, argued that the 1990 Constitution, which was to re-democratize the country after thirty years of Panchayat monarchical autocracy (1960-1990), inadequately addressed – if not reinforced – patterns of exclusion of many groups on the basis of class and/or identity and they saw territorial autonomy for ethno-linguistic and regional groups as the key solution to the country’s rampant discrimination.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the Red Star State
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Red Star State: State-Capitalism, Socialism, and Black Internationalism in Ghana, 1957-1966 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Kwadwo Osei-Opare © Copyright by Kwadwo Osei-Opare The Red Star State: State-Capitalism, Socialism, and Black Internationalism in Ghana, 1957-1966 by Kwadwo Osei-Opare Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Andrew Apter, Chair The Red Star State charts a new history of global capitalism and socialism in relation to Ghana and Ghana’s first postcolonial leader, Kwame Nkrumah. By tracing how Soviet connections shaped Ghana’s post-colonial economic ideologies, its Pan-African program, and its modalities of citizenship, this dissertation contradicts literature that portrays African leaders as misguided political-economic theorists, ideologically inconsistent, or ignorant Marxist-Leninists. Rather, I argue that Nkrumah and Ghana’s postcolonial government actively formed new political economic ideologies by drawing from Lenin’s state-capitalist framework and the Soviet Economic Policy (NEP) to reconcile capitalist policies under a decolonial socialist umbrella. Moreover, I investigate how ordinary Africans—the working poor, party members, local and cabinet-level government officials, economic planners, and the informal sector—grappled with ii and reshaped the state’s role and duty to its citizens, conceptions of race, Ghana’s place within the Cold War, state-capitalism, and the functions of state-corporations. Consequently, The Red Star State attends both to the intricacies of local politics while tracing how global ideas and conceptions of socialism, citizenship, governmentality, capitalism, and decolonization impacted the first independent sub-Saharan African state.

This is unprecedented. But under the current conditions and uncertainty there was no other option. Even this meeting is a virtual meeting using digital technology as a meeting with physical presence is near impossible due to the travel restrictions and im- portantly the precautions necessary to combat this pandemic. Until a vaccine against Covid-19, or a proven therapeutic antidote emerges, such conditions of uncertainty will continue. It is absolutely essential that all our comrades, espe- cially those older than 60 years, must adhere to the required precautions of maintaining physical distance, wear masks and ensure personal hygiene. During this period, the Party at all levels from the Centre, state committees and lower committees have intervened, through various activities, to maintain our links with the people, raising issues of immediate concern and doing very com- mendable activities for providing relief to the suffering people. The reports of the Party Centre and state committees have been circulated to all CC members. Hence those details are not contained here.

  • Stalin's Biblical Hermeneutics: from 2 Thessalonians 3 to Acts 4
    J Bible Recept 2017; 4(1): 71–89 Roland Boer* Stalin’s Biblical Hermeneutics: From 2 Thessalonians 3 to Acts 4 DOI 10.1515/jbr-2017-2003 Abstract: This article concerns the creative reinterpretation of two biblical texts in the thought of Joseph Stalin: 2 Thessalonians 3:10 and Acts 4:32 and 35. Indeed, “anyone unwilling to work should not eat” became the hermeneutical frame through which the text from Acts 4, “everything they owned was held in common (…) They laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need,” was reinterpreted. Already from 1917, the text of 2 Thessalonians was used by Lenin to define what would soon be called socialism, in distinction from commu- nism (the distinction was itself a Bolshevik innovation). Stalin would make much greater use of the text, extending the sense of those not working – the idle capital- ists and bourgeoisie – to those who lagged behind in the project of creating social- ism. Further, it became the interpretive key for reworking the communist slogan, “from each according to ability, to each according to need” (itself a gloss on Acts 4) into a slogan for socialism, “from each according to ability, to each according to work.” These two forms of the slogan became the means to distinguish social- ism from communism. The result of this process of biblical reinterpretation was the appearance of both biblical texts – one quoted and one glossed – in the “Stalin” Constitution of 1936. Throughout I seek to understand Stalin’s thought on the basis of his writings, without taking sides in the perpetual polarization over his legacy.

  • Representations of Unity in Soviet Symbolism
    UC Santa Barbara UC Santa Barbara Previously Published Works Title Soiuz and Symbolic Union: Representations of Unity in Soviet Symbolism Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6mk5f6c8 Author Platoff, Anne M. Publication Date 2020 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Representations of Unity in Soviet Symbolism 23 Soiuz and Symbolic Union: Representations of Unity in Soviet Symbolism Anne M. Platoff Abstract “Soiuz”1 in Russian means “union”—a key word in the formal name of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Once the world’s largest state, the Soviet Union comprised 15 republics and more than 100 distinct ethnic groups. The country celebrated its diversity while at the same time emphasizing the unity of all Soviet peoples. Throughout the 1922–1991 history of the USSR a highly- developed system of symbolic representations was used to portray the strength of the union. For example, the state emblem visually bound the Soviet repub- lics to the state through a heraldic ribbon using all the titular languages of the republics. Likewise, the national anthem celebrated the “unbreakable union of free republics”. The Soviet symbol set also included unique, but visually unifying, symbols to represent the 15 union republics—their flags, emblems, and anthems. There were also flags for the autonomous republics within these union republics, based upon the republic flags. In addition to the symbolic portrayal of the cohesiveness of the Soviet Union, there were two other types of “unions” that were vital to Soviet symbolism—the unity of workers and peasants, as well as the brotherhood of all the world’s communists.
