    SSG in Africa - 2.1 FIVE KEY ACTORS http://www.ssronline.org/ssg_a/index4.cfm?id=16&p=16 framework for governance in the security sector. Whilst noting that the authors of this Handbook are careful not to describe it as the road-map or Guidebook for security sector governance in Africa, they have examined the scope, processes, actors and contexts of security sector reform in Africa, and reflected the diversities of terrains and directions to produce, what is to my knowledge the first comprehensive and practical guide on governing the security sector, drawing on both good and bad practices, providing realistic entry-points for broadening the security agenda in our states and at the same time suggesting ways of ensuring the professionalisation of our security forces in defence of the states and protection of the citizens. As we continue our own task in he building of a comprehensive security architecture, we will utilise this Handbook extensively in that work. It is my hope the practical tools and lessons presented here from a variety of experiences will inspire, support and assist our security institutions, military academies, research institutions, civil society organisations and international actors in the critical task of security sector governance in Africa Professor Alpha Oumar Konare Chairperson, African Union Commission. Acknowledgements The handbook has been produced by a collaborative effort among researchers and practitioners across Africa. Core members of the writing team are: Nicole Ball, 'J. Kayode Fayemi, 'Funmi Olonisakin, and Rocklyn Williams. Contributors to the handbook are: Len LeRoux, Ntsiki Motumi, Janine Rausch, and Mark Shaw. The handbook has also been the subject of consultations during regional meetings held by affiliated research networks in Western and Southern Africa during which researchers, policy makers, and practitioners gave generously of their time.

  • The Record Producer As Nexus: Creative Inspiration, Technology and the Recording Industry
    The Record Producer as Nexus: Creative Inspiration, Technology and the Recording Industry A submission presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Glamorgan/Prifysgol Morgannwg for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michael John Gilmour Howlett April 2009 ii I certify that the work presented in this dissertation is my own, and has not been presented, or is currently submitted, in candidature for any degree at any other University: _____________________________________________________________ Michael Howlett iii The Record Producer as Nexus: Creative Inspiration, Technology and the Recording Industry Abstract What is a record producer? There is a degree of mystery and uncertainty about just what goes on behind the studio door. Some producers are seen as Svengali- like figures manipulating artists into mass consumer product. Producers are sometimes seen as mere technicians whose job is simply to set up a few microphones and press the record button. Close examination of the recording process will show how far this is from a complete picture. Artists are special—they come with an inspiration, and a talent, but also with a variety of complications, and in many ways a recording studio can seem the least likely place for creative expression and for an affective performance to happen. The task of the record producer is to engage with these artists and their songs and turn these potentials into form through the technology of the recording studio. The purpose of the exercise is to disseminate this fixed form to an imagined audience—generally in the hope that this audience will prove to be real.

  • 2 to Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different
    2 To Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different The context for difference This chapter aims to identify some of the bands that enjoyed chart success during the late 1970s and ’80s and identify their artistic traits by means of conversations with band members and those close to the bands. This chapter does not claim to be a definitive account or an inclusive list of innovative bands but merely a viewpoint from some of the individuals who were present at the time and involved in music, creativity and youth culture. Some of these individuals were in the eye of the storm while others were more on the periphery. However, common themes emerge and testify to the Scouse resilience identified in the previous chapter. Also, identifying objective truth is a difficult task, as one band member will often have a view of his band’s history that conflicts with that of other members of the same band. As such, it is acknowledged that this chapter presents only selective viewpoints. Trying something new: In what ways were the Liverpool bands creative and different? ‘Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticized anyone for taking a chance.’ David Morrissey1 In terms of creativity, the theory underpinning this book which was stated in Chapter 1 is that successful Liverpool bands in the 1980s were different from each other and did not attempt to follow the latest local or national pop music trends. None of the bands interviewed falls into the categories of punk, disco or New Romantic, which were popular trends at the time.

  • 13 Insights from the Development Sector
    13 Insights from the Development Sector Paul M. Bisca and Gary J. Milante evelopment is big. It encompasses economic growth, but also social development through civil society, state-building (improving the capacity of the state to deliver Dservices), and political institutions, including rule of law.1 New Institutional Economics (NIE) has changed how development practitioners think about growth and development over the past 15 years.2 NIE has shown that “how” people manage their relations through formal and informal institutions affects the efficiency and distribution of service delivery and the provision of public goods. This chapter is written by development practitioners who work at the intersection of development and defense, and it is written from the perspective that institutions, including defense institutions, are vital means through which societies coordinate their social, political, and economic activity. The authors have seen places where this institutional reform has created real transformation that led to previously inconceivable peace, prosperity, and growth. More often, unfortunately, tragedies occurred where policymakers ignored institution building, or undertook it as purely a technocratic exercise with no appreciation of the underlying politics. The result was dismal failure. Consequently, the development community has much to learn about how to adapt local solutions, informed by these successes and the failures, as do those working on defense institution building (DIB). The first section of this chapter introduces key concepts in NIE to the non-economist, including a definition of institutions and the relationship between institutions, public goods, and political economy. Next, it identifies four common mistakes or pitfalls seen in development practice: missing ownership, isomorphic mimicry, perplexing complexity, and unrealistic timeframes.

    THE DENNING LAW JOURNAL PAYING JUDGES: WHY, WHO, WHOM, HOW MUCH? NEILL LECTURE 2006 Michael J Beloff QC* My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a great privilege for me to be invited to deliver the 5th Neill Lecture following in the footsteps of such legal giants of our time as Lord Bingham of Cornhill, Lord Woolf of Barnes, Lord Steyn and Lord Hoffman, just as the page followed in the footsteps of Good King Wenceslas in the snowy wastes of Bohemia.1 After four aces the Fellows of All Souls have clearly opted to play the Joker. Pat Neill, the honorand, is fit to be ranked with Tom and Harry, not to speak of Johann and Lenny, in the annals of the law although he abstained from taking judicial appointment in this country. Instead, like a modern Pooh Bear, he became Lord High everything else, notably – I make a judicious selection - Warden of All Souls, Vice Chancellor of Oxford University, Chairman of the Press Council, Chairman of the Committee of Standards in Public Life and Treasurer of Gray’s Inn. My path has crossed with Pat’s at several junctures. We appeared against each other in court, most memorably in a case in the Privy Council Ng Enterprises v Urban Council,2 which involved an issue of major constitutional importance, namely whether my client could continue to sell “Mister Softie” ice cream in Hong Kong from mobile vans. There were no Mr Softies in the Privy Council and they acceded unanimously to Pat’s argument that regulation of an activity could sometimes, if not always, include its outright prohibition.
