  • Speaker Biographies an African Conversation Africa Ahead: the Next 50 Years
    2013 Ibrahim Forum Speaker Biographies An African Conversation Africa Ahead: The Next 50 Years Sunday, 10th November African Union Conference Centre, Addis Ababa Addis Ababa, 10.11.2013 2013 Ibrahim Forum 1 Held annually since 2010, the Ibrahim Forum aims to tackle specific issues that are of critical importance to Africa, and require both committed leadership and governance. Bringing together a diverse range of high-level African stakeholders belonging to various public and private constituencies, as well as selected non-African partners, the Forum is an open and frank discussion. It aims to go beyond stating issues and renewing commitments by defining pragmatic strategies, operational action points and shared responsibilities. Since this year sees the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of African unity, the focus of the 2013 Ibrahim Forum is on the major opportunities and challenges the continent will have to tackle over the next 50 years. To facilitate the debate, the panels will be organised around the four Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) categories – Safety & Rule of Law, Participation & Human Rights, Sustainable Economic Opportunity and Human Development – all of which are areas requiring exceptional leadership and governance. Each of the panels will aim to address four key questions: • What are the key priorities? • Who are the key actors responsible for driving and implementing the agenda? • What resources are available/necessary to ensure success and progress? • What indicators/mechanisms can be used to monitor implementation and measure results? Addis Ababa, 10.11.2013 IBRAHIM FORUM PANELS Panel 1 Panel 2 ‘Human Development’ ‘Sustainable Economic Opportunity’ The population of a country is a leader’s Recent decades have registered major shifts in fundamental unit of responsibility.

  • When School Is Not in Session: How Student Drug Testing Can Transform Parenting
    WHEN SCHOOL IS NOT IN SESSION: HOW STUDENT DRUG TESTING CAN TRANSFORM PARENTING Amanda R. Lamberson* “The signs weren’t overt . and as parents you always look to the bright side and want to be optimistic that everything’s going to be fine.”1 I. INTRODUCTION Back-to-school jitters are not just for students. Parents expe- rience a number of anxieties ranging from teacher quality to their child‟s choice of friends.2 One area, however, deserving particular attention involves our nation‟s debate about school policies for ran- dom or mandatory drug testing of students.3 There is an overlooked question in this debate: are parents in denial about their child‟s expo- sure to and possible use of drugs?4 As a recent study suggests, par- * J.D. Candidate 2013, Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg School of Law; B.A. in Sociolo- gy, Hofstra University. Thank you to my advisor, Thomas A. Schweitzer, my editor Marissa DeBellis, Issue Editor Brittany Fiorenza, and the Touro Law Review. I would especially like to thank my parents, Roy and Julie Lamberson, for all of their love and support. 1 Sharyn Alfonsi & Hanna Siegel, Heroin Use In Suburbs On The Rise, ABCNEWS.COM (Mar. 29, 2010), http://abcnews.go.com/WN/heroin-suburbs-rise/story?id=10230269. 2 Jay Mathews, 8 Back-to-School Worries, WASHINGTONPOST.COM (Sept. 1, 2011), http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/class-struggle/post/8-back-to-school-worries/2011/08 /31/gIQA7e1psJ_blog.html.

  • Masters Thesis Proposal
    The framing of the coverage of the Gaza withdrawal by Israeli forces in the Cape Times, Mail & Guardian and Sunday Times from July 1, 2005 to September 12, 2005 Bryan David Silke Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy (Journalism) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Herman Wasserman March 2007 1 I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature: Date: (Bryan Silke) March 2007 2 Acknowledgements I hereby wish to thank first and foremost, my parents – Melville and Joan Silke, for their unwavering financial and emotional support of this project. With this backing, I was able to focus on the academic research without being side-tracked by logistical issues. I would also like to sincerely thank the staff of the Stellenbosch University Journalism Department, especially Bevely Februarie and Professor Lizette Rabe for their constant encouragement and making the environment for conducting research so relaxed and motivating. Finally, I would like to wholeheartedly thank my supervisor for this thesis, Professor Herman Wasserman – a pillar of wisdom. Doc, your superb critique and constructive advice is what motivated me to finish this thesis. 3 Abstract The Israeli-Palestinian conflict cannot be classified as an isolated conflict. Today’s clashes were not triggered by a single event, but rather are as a result of thousands of years of violent and at times restrained disagreements about the rights of Jews, Muslims and other ethnic groups to the disputed land known collectively today as Israel and the Palestinian Territories.

    Bheki Hlabane Title: The Political, Economic And Social Impact Of Hosting Mega-Sports Events: The 2010 South Africa World Cup In Comparative Perspective PhD Thesis submitted to: Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU). Asia Pacific Studies (APS) 2012 Acknowledgements I am deeply thankful to my supervisor, Prof Jeremy Eades, whose support and guidance has served as a pillar of strength and encouragement throughout my studies. His approach and positive attitude had been the key in helping me develop a better understanding of the issues. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Prof Malcolm Cooper for giving direction throughout my fieldwork process. Further acknowledgements are due to the South African Tourism office in Japan and the South African Embassy in Japan. Both have made a significant contribution in my PhD studies in Japan. The chance to have such an exciting and educational research experience would not have been possible without the quality of programs offered at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University. In addition, the University helped me with material support, technical support and in participation in student life. They say life is a journey. I guess that is also true with studying towards a PhD degree. The experience I have gained throughout my studies at APU will be significant as my life moves forward. To date, I have managed to publish two papers/articles. The first one has been published with the Ritsumeikan Journal (RJAPS), Volume 28 in 2010 and titled Sociology of Sports mega-events, Tourism Perspective. The second one is published in The International Journal of Sport and Society, volume 1.Issue 4, titled Sociology of Sports Mega –Events: Sports Diplomacy and FIFA World Cup; ‘Global Peace Building Initiative.
