Executive Intelligence Review, Volume 14, Number 21, May 22, 1987 An EIR Special Report Germany's Green Party and Terrorism Moscow's Irregular Warfare Against the West • On May 17-18 of this year, the tiny Bavarian village of Wackersdorf was rocked by well organized, unprecentedly violent attacks on police guarding a local nuclear construction site. A first wave of 1,000-1,200 masked "demonstrators" drew police out from behind fences to make ar­ rests. Immediately the exposed police were hit by a second wave of masked attackers, wielding killer sling-shots, steel bolts, and sharp steel splinters. Then, a third wave came in for targeted attacks on individual policemen .. • In Hanover, 350 miles away, the convention of the Green Party was taking place. Upon the news that police had been hospitalized by the 183 125 pages violence at Wackersdorf, the delegates cheered wildly. Rainer Trampert, Price: party executive committee member, denounced the planned construction $250 of a nuclear reprocessing plant in Wackersdorf as "a project to build a From German nuclear bomb."

  • Alienation and the Reform of Vote Buying in the Philippines
    Disciplinary Reactions: Alienation and the Reform of Vote Buying in the Philippines Frederic Charles Schaffer Associate Professor Department of Political Science E53-435 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA 02139 617-253-3138 [email protected] 8-22-02 draft Prepared for delivery at: “Trading Political Rights: The Comparative Politics of Vote Buying,” International Conference, Center for International Studies, MIT, Cambridge, August 26-27, 2002. The 2002 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, Boston, August 29 - Sept 1, 2002. Clean election reform in any country is in part a disciplinary project.1 To reform an electoral system - to reduce or eliminate vote buying, voter intimidation, fraudulent voting, ballot box stuffing, and the like - is to prohibit or make unacceptable certain kinds of acts. This reality suggests a need to study carefully whether reformers have an adequate understanding of the people and practices they seek to reform. History shows us that this is often not the case, especially when the object of reform is the “other” (Scott 1998). It also suggests a related need to understand how people who are the target of reform experience and react to these disciplinary efforts. Whether voters (who are the subject of this paper, but other actors as well) protest, acquiesce, resist, subvert, or embrace specific measures will have significant implications for their implementation and ultimate effect. Rarely are these aspects of clean election reform studied. One intriguing exception is the archival research of Déloye and Ihl (1991) into voided ballots cast during the 1881 French legislative elections. To reduce social pressure on voters, French lawmakers had introduced paper ballots, and imposed strict rules to disqualify ballots with extraneous writing or markings on them.

    Introducción a Vía Campesina es un movimiento internacional de campesinos y campesinas, pequeños y medianos productores, sin tierra, mujeres rurales, pueblos indígenas, jóvenes rurales y trabajadores agrícolas. LEs un movimiento autónomo y pluralista, independiente de cualquier afiliación política, económica o de otra índole. Nuestros miembros provienen de Asia, África, Europa y el Continente Americano. Durante la Sexta Conferencia Ministerial de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC), el pasado diciembre 2005 en Hong Kong, la delegación internacional de La Vía Campesina se hizo presente con el fin de hacer escuchar nuestra voz. Las negociaciones de comercio bajo la OMC fuerzan a cada país, y en especial a los países en desarrollo, a abrir sus mercados de alimentos, su producción pesquera, sus reservas forestales y sus servicios públicos a las corporaciones transnacionales. Esto conduce a efectos devastadores para millones de campesinos, agricultores a pequeña escala, trabajadores y pueblos indígenas alrededor del mundo. Mientras que éstas naciones en desarrollo deben afrontar un aumento en las importaciones alimentarias, los precios para sus productos locales bajan considerablemente. El campesinado no puede vender su producción en su propio mercado local o nacional por lo que la economía local colapsa. Muchos campesinos se han suicidado en los últimos años. Esto ha sucedido en Corea del Sur, India y China. Muchos trabajadores y gente pobre están perdiendo sus trabajos a causa de la explotación y apropiación de los recursos naturales, la pesca y los bosques trabajados por familias indígenas y rurales. Este tipo de negociación comercial significa tan sólo la transacción de la vida y el sustento de campesinos, indígenas, trabajadores y gente pobre alrededor del mundo.
