A Comparative and Historical Analysis of Elite Sport Programs in Australia and Pakistan A COMPARATIVE AND HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF ELITE SPORT PROGRAMS IN AUSTRALIA AND PAKISTAN, 1947-2007 by Mohammad Akh tar Nawaz Ganjera A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Human Movement, Recreation and Performance Faculty of Arts, Education and Human Development Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia December 2007 ii Abstract Despite the fact that a number of academic studies compare the development of sport systems, a formal comparison of the elite sport programs of Pakistan with any other nation has yet to be undertaken. As a response to this gap in the literature, this thesis provides the first detailed comparison of elite sport programs in Australia and Pakistan between 1947 and 2007. In terms of the structure of the thesis, a critical evaluation of relevant sports history literature and other source material is followed by an overview of the historical background, political development, and culture of Australia and Pakistan. A descriptive narrative of different sport policies and programs in both countries is then provided and a number of important issues are subsequently analysed in a more thematic manner. Institutions responsible for the organisation of sport and physical activity in both countries are considered and the distribution of financial resources from the government to elite sporting programs is also investigated. Specific attention is given to programs associated with the Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Games. Finally, an agenda for initiatives and research relevant to the future promotion of elite sport, particularly in Pakistan, is recommended. In broad terms, this research adds considerably to knowledge of the sport systems of both countries, and has the potential to enhance understandings of the history and development of government involvement in the delivery of elite sport programs. In addition, the thesis makes a significant contribution to current debates regarding the complex relationship between sport, culture and society in a cross- cultural and comparative context. iii Declaration I, Mohammad Akhtar Nawaz Ganjera, declare that the PhD thesis entitled 'A Comparative and Historical Analysis of Elite Sport Programs in Australia and Pakistan, 1947-2007', is no more than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, figures, appendices, references and footnotes. This thesis contains no material that has been submitted previously, in whole or in part, for the award of any other academic degree or diploma. Except where otherwise indicated, this thesis is my own work. Signature: Date: 22 November 2007 IV Acknowledgem ents I would firstly like to thank the Australian Sports Commission for sponsoring my initial three-year period of studies. Special appreciation is extended to Mark McElligott of the International Relations Program of the Commission, who took a personal interest in the completion of my studies. I would also like to thank my supervisors,. Dr Rob Hess, and Dr Richard Baka, Senior Lecturers at Victoria University, for their never-ending patience and excellent academic support. Also I would like to acknowledge the important intellectual advice I received from Javaid Ali Khan, a former Director-General of the Pakistan Sports Board. I also express my sincere grartitude to the Head of the School of Human Movement, Recreation and Performance at Victoria University, Professor Terry Roberts, whose kind and prompt support enabled me to complete this project. As well, I am grateful for the generous assistance I received from all the administrative staff of Victoria University, in particular the late Ms Flo Reay, who assisted me financially by providing employment opportunities within the School. In addition, I offer thanks to all the staff of the Pakistan Sports Board, too numerous to mention by name. I especially want to thank the late Dr Javaid Ganjera, who provided me with useful material on the history of the subcontinent. Above all, I want to thank my late mother in Pakistan for the love she extended to me during my studies. Finally, I note the loving support extended to me by my spouse, Sadia Akhtar. The project would not have come to fruition without her, or the inspiration provided by my young sons, Moiz Akhtar Ganjera and Fawaz Akhtar Ganjera.

  • Fishing and Early Jomon Foodways at Sannai Maruyama, Japan
    Fishing and Early Jomon Foodways at Sannai Maruyama, Japan By Mio Katayama A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Junko Habu, Chair Professor Christine Hastorf Professor Mack Horton Spring 2011 Abstract Fishing and Early Jomon Foodways at Sannai Maruyama, Japan By Mio Katayama Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Junko Habu, Chair This thesis examines the economic vs. social and symbolic importance of fish in the foodways of the prehistoric Jomon culture (16,000-2300 cal BP) of Japan. To achieve this goal, quantitative analyses of fish remains excavated from a water-logged midden of the Sannai Maruyama site (Aomori Prefecture, Japan) are conducted. Dated to the Lower Ento–a phase (ca. 5900–5650 cal BP) of the Early Jomon Period, the midden was associated with large amounts of organic remains, including fish bones. The perspective employed in this dissertation, foodways, emphasizes the importance of social and cultural roles of food. Rather than focus on bio-ecological aspects and nutritional values of food, this thesis regards food as one of the central elements of individual cultures. In Japanese archaeology, food of the Jomon Period has been a central them to the discussion reconstructing the lifeways of prehistoric people of the Japanese archipelago. Large amounts of data, including faunal and floral materials, have been accumulated from numerous rescue excavations of Jomon sites that took place between the 1970s and late 1990s. These archaeological data allowed the development of detailed culture historical studies of the Jomon Period that span over 10,000 years.
