C. 20036 Fifth Edition 1969 Price: $2 1' FOREWORD Other Lands, Other Peoples describes 141 independent or quasi-independent nations, the well- known and the unfamiliar.Since the first edition (1960), which provided data on 86 countries, each successive edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded to provide concise, up-to- date information on the population, cultures, government, history, economics, and principal geographic features of each country.This fifth edition has been designed for use by teachers and students as a supplement to regular textbooks as well as for the original purpose of provid- ing vital information for hosts of foreign visitors. Information for Other Lands, Other Peoples has been compiled from a variety of sources. Great effort has been expended to ensure accuracy and to provide adequate estimates where data conflict or cannot be fully authenticated.U. S. government publications have supplied a great deal of the data. The present edition combines the advantages of a bound book and those of the former loose-leaf format. As a bound book, it can take a permanent place on the library shelf.However, a page or pages may be removed simply by tearing along the perforation near the spine. By following this procedure, the user can, if he desires, distribute the fact sheets for each country sepa- rately. Many persons have worked on this edition.To these we are extremely grateful.Special thanks go to-- Mrs. Elizabeth M. Thompson, who wrote and edited the first four editions Mrs. Nancy M.

    Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 Eileen Ryan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 ©2012 Eileen Ryan All rights reserved ABSTRACT Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 By Eileen Ryan In the first decade of their occupation of the former Ottoman territories of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica in current-day Libya, the Italian colonial administration established a system of indirect rule in the Cyrenaican town of Ajedabiya under the leadership of Idris al-Sanusi, a leading member of the Sufi order of the Sanusiyya and later the first monarch of the independent Kingdom of Libya after the Second World War. Post-colonial historiography of modern Libya depicted the Sanusiyya as nationalist leaders of an anti-colonial rebellion as a source of legitimacy for the Sanusi monarchy. Since Qaddafi’s revolutionary coup in 1969, the Sanusiyya all but disappeared from Libyan historiography as a generation of scholars, eager to fill in the gaps left by the previous myopic focus on Sanusi elites, looked for alternative narratives of resistance to the Italian occupation and alternative origins for the Libyan nation in its colonial and pre-colonial past. Their work contributed to a wider variety of perspectives in our understanding of Libya’s modern history, but the persistent focus on histories of resistance to the Italian occupation has missed an opportunity to explore the ways in which the Italian colonial framework shaped the development of a religious and political authority in Cyrenaica with lasting implications for the Libyan nation.

  • Josephus As Political Philosopher: His Concept of Kingship

Josephus As Political Philosopher: His Concept Of Kingship Abstract Scholars who have discussed Josephus’ political philosophy have largely focused on his concepts of aristokratia or theokratia. In general, they have ignored his concept of kingship. Those that have commented on it tend to dismiss Josephus as anti-monarchical and ascribe this to the biblical anti- monarchical tradition. To date, Josephus’ concept of kingship has not been treated as a significant component of his political philosophy. Through a close reading of Josephus’ longest text, the Jewish Antiquities, a historical work that provides extensive accounts of kings and kingship, I show that Josephus had a fully developed theory of monarchical government that drew on biblical and Greco- Roman models of kingship. Josephus held that ideal kingship was the responsible use of the personal power of one individual to advance the interests of the governed and maintain his and his subjects’ loyalty to Yahweh. The king relied primarily on a standard array of classical virtues to preserve social order in the kingdom, protect it from external threats, maintain his subjects’ quality of life, and provide them with a model for proper moral conduct.

INTRODUCTION OF BILLS – FIRST READING The following Bill was introduced and read the First time: Tax (Amendment) Bill 1984 – Bill No 3/1984. [The Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, on behalf of the Government.] PUBLIC BUSINESS MOTION APPROVAL OF ESTIMATES OF EXPENDITURE FOR 1984 The Assembly resumed the debate on the motion for approval of the Estimates of Expenditure for the financial year 1984. The Speaker: Mr. Singh. Mr. M. F. Singh: Mr. Speaker, it is trite knowledge that history is a record of the past. We can only ignore history at our peril. The past informs us, it enables us to live in the present so that we can plan for the future. My experience in this Assembly, however, convinces me that the People's National Congress as a national administration and as it would wish to be known – the Majority Party in Government – is incapable of absorbing the lessons of history, of learning from its own past inefficiencies and mistakes, and of planning for Guyana's future. After 19 years of People's National Congress misrule and incompetency, its Finance Minister in his Party's 20th year of governing and guiding – rather misguiding – this country tells us that: "I can offer no comforting solution which will allow us to survive and prosper." This is a shame.

  • Country Coding Units Version 3 (December 2014)
    Country Coding Units Version 3 (December 2014) Principal Investigators Research Assistant Michael Coppedge – U. of Notre Dame Vlad Ciobanu – U. of Gothenburg John Gerring – Boston University Staffan I. Lindberg –U. of Gothenburg Jan Teorell – Lund University Suggested citation: Coppedge, Michael, John Gerring, Staffan I. Lindberg, Jan Teorell, Vlad Ciobanu. 2014. “Varieties of Democracy: Country Coding Units v3.” Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Project. 1 This document lists (a) every country in the eventual V-Dem database, (b) the years for which we have collect data or plan to collect data (in parentheses next to the entry); (c) the polities that comprise each country’s 20th century history (even if falling outside the time-period that we wish to code); and (d) the borders of each country (wherever this might be unclear). Many dates are approximate due to the inconclusive nature of a country’s history. Note that changes in sovereignty often occur by stages, and marking these stages with specific dates can be challenging. General sources for compiling this document include Wikipedia and Statesman.org. Additional sources, along with notes pertaining to specific countries, empires, and federations are contained in a separate document: “Countries, Empires, Elections (misc notes)” “Country” A V-Dem “country” is a political unit enjoying at least some degree of functional and/or formal sovereignty. This means that fully sovereign nation-states as well as colonies and protectorates and semi-autonomous administrative districts may qualify as countries. A territory must claim sovereignty at some point in its history in order to qualify. Thus, Somaliland qualifies but not Puntland.

    Colonial-style Grabbing of Natural Resources but New Grabbers By Janette Bulkan Paper presented at the International Conference on Global Land Grabbing 6-8 April 2011 Organised by the Land Deals Politics Initiative (LDPI) in collaboration with the Journal of Peasant Studies and hosted by the Future Agricultures Consortium at the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex ‘Red Star over Guyana’: colonial-style grabbing of natural resources but new grabbers Paper prepared for The Land Deals Politics Initiative International Conference on Global Land Grabbing Introduction China has arranged free trade agreements (Coxhead 2007, Jenkins et al. 2007) which lay out in some details what is to be traded and on what terms in a WTO-compatible framework with large supply countries such as Chile and Peru, both significant for minerals. Smaller countries, including former colonies of European powers, may have experience of one-sided trading arrangements during colonial times and more recently are likely to have enjoyed the various trade shelters arranged by the European Commission, such as the Lomé Convention (1976-1999) and its successor the Cotonou Agreement (2003-2023). How are small countries now relating to a China hungry for renewable and non-renewable natural resources? After decades of lectures and conditionalities imposed by the donor agencies of the former colonial powers, how does the Chinese approach of an unconditional commercial relationship actually work out in practice? This paper deals with the case of Guyana, a small and politically isolated semi-socialist country, the only anglophone in South America. Through association in the Non-Aligned Movement from the time of independence in 1966, Guyana has had formal diplomatic links with China since 1972.

And my father had been in the Spanish-American ,ar and had left and come back through Mexico where he stopped off and worked in the American mbassy in Mexico City for awhile on his way back to the States. And he used to talk about it. I loved travel books, and maps, and so forth. As a result, when I went to college, instead of going to the 6niversity of Colorado, I went to the 6niversity of California at Berkeley because it had a major in international relations. So I sort of had this idea in the back of my head, not knowing really what it was, since high school days.

  • PRS Mani in Southeast Asia
    1 FORUM: Wartime Globalization in Asia The transnational mission of an Indian war correspondent: P. R. S. Mani in Southeast Asia, 1944 – 1946 Heather Goodall University of Technology Sydney [email protected] with Mark Ravinder Frost University of Essex [email protected] Abstract: This article, based on new archival materials, reconstructs the experiences and observations of an Indian war correspondent as, from 1944 to 1946, he covered the advance of Indian soldiers of the British-led Indian Army from northeast India, through Burma to Malaya at the war's end, then to their eventual deployment with the South East Asian Command in Java after the Japanese surrender. As it transpired, Captain P. R. S. Mani worked as an enlisted public relations officer of the British-led Indian Army but also sustained his commitment as a patriotic Indian nationalist, who gathered intelligence on the Indian diaspora in Southeast Asia and on the impact of Subhas Chandra Bose’s Indian National Army. Relatively little scholarship has focused on Asian war journalism. Mani’s tension-ridden role as a self-styled ‘Indian Army observer’ provides an illuminating insight into the way Britain’s lines of communication were appropriated and subverted during wartime and beyond, and into the way his own nationalism was reshaped by his unofficial transnational activities. ……………………………………………….. The transnational mission of an Indian war correspondent: P. R. S. Mani in Southeast Asia, 1944 – 1946 Armies on the move have long generated lines of communication and flows of information that extended across vast distances. By the mid-twentieth century, the traffic in military information took the form of official dispatches, orders, intelligence and requests for supply, civilian propaganda, soldiers’ correspondence and war reportage, not to mention rumour.

Snyder MARCH 2010 “Elephants… hate the mouse worst of living creatures, and if they see one merely touch the fodder placed in their stall they refuse it with disgust.” -Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia, 77 AD Acknowledgments Though only one name can appear on the author’s line, there are many people whose support and help made this thesis possible and without whom, I would be nowhere. First, I must thank my family. As a child, my mother and father would try to stump me with a difficult math and geography question before tucking me into bed each night (and a few times they succeeded!). Thank you for giving birth to my fascination in all things international. Without you, none of this would have been possible. Second, I must thank a set of distinguished professors. Professor Mika LaVaque-Manty, thank you for giving me a chance to prove myself, even though I was a sophomore and studying abroad did not fit with the traditional path of thesis writers; thank you again for encouraging us all to think outside the box. My adviser, Professor Jenna Bednar, thank you for your enthusiastic interest in my thesis and having the vision to see what needed to be accentuated to pull a strong thesis out from the weeds. Professor Andrei Markovits, thank you for your commitment to your students’ work; I still believe in those words of the Moroccan scholar and will always appreciate your frank advice.
