Poverty Reduction CROP – The Comparative Research Programme on Poverty The Comparative Research Programme on Poverty was initiated by the International Social Science Council in . The major aim of CROP is to produce sound and reliable research-based knowledge which can serve as a basis for poverty reduction. CROP is organized around a broad international and multi-disciplinary research arena which allows entry to all poverty researchers and others interested in a scientific approach to poverty. CROP organizes regional and topical workshops and international conferences, initiates and co-ordinates comparative projects and publications, offers educational courses, and invites its members to consult for national and international agencies. More than fifteen hundred researchers and others have joined the CROP network, close to half coming from so-called dev- eloping countries and countries in transition. As an international and inter-disciplinary research programme, CROP’s objectives are to: • consider how scholars working within different paradigms can develop a joint arena for multi-paradigmatic research • compare different theoretical approaches so as to understand better their links and relationships • consider how the social sciences can contribute to the under- standing of poverty in a global context • establish an international scientific network which will give im- petus to a long-term programme • generate and secure high-quality data of importance for different social science approaches • create a body of scientific knowledge which can be used for poverty reduction.

  • The Canadian Department of Peace: History and Potential
    The Canadian Department of Peace: History and Potential by Victor David Kliewer A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Joint Master’s Program in Peace and Conflict Studies University of Manitoba/University of Winnipeg Winnipeg MB Copyright © 2019 by Victor David Kliewer ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the possibility of establishing a Department of Peace (DOP) as a Department of the Government of Canada. The topic has been introduced in Parliament twice— in 2009 as Bill C-447 and in 2011 as Bill C-373; neither Bill received any further action beyond the First Reading. The introduction of the bills could only happen on the basis of significant support among Canadians. At present, in 2019, efforts to reintroduce the DOP into the Government, although somewhat muted, continue; and the concern for peace—including all of its diverse aspects, both within Canada and around the world—remains as urgent as ever. The thesis, based on relevant literature and oral interviews, evaluates the establishment of a DOP in the context of the Canadian peace tradition as well as other global peace developments. It concludes that a DOP has great potential to move the peace agenda in Canada forward but that, in view of the priorities of the current government and the general mood in Canadian society, it is not realistic to expect a DOP to be implemented at present. The recent appointment of the Women, Peace and Security Ambassador in December 2018 represents a step in this direction, but a fully structured DOP would provide a more significant framework for the advancement of peace, defined in the preamble of Bill C-373 as “not simply the absence of active hostilities but rather a state of non-violence, harmony, and amity.” iii Someday, after harnessing the ether, the winds, the tides, and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love; and then, for the second time in the history of the world, [we] will have discovered fire.

PRINTED IN CANADA GST No. R108161779 Recycled Paper Papier Recycl6 ABSTRACTS South Korea's Foreign Policy and Future Security: Implications of the Nuclear Standoff Me1 Gurtov South Korea's foreign policy was significantly recast under the "Northern Policy" of Roh Tae Woo and the "new diplomacy" of Kim Young Sam. Spurred by rapid economic development and progress in democratizing politics, South Korea looked to break from policies dominated by the cold war and the major powers. Its initial successes, including accords reached in 1991 with North Korea on denuclearization and reconciliation, were significantly undermined by the ensuing controversy over Pyongyang's nuclear program. This article explores the setbacks that the nuclear dispute caused to South Korea's unification policy and its relations with the major powers, especially the United States. North Korea effectively used the nuclear card to enhance its legitimacy, deflect absorption by the South and deter the U.S. nuclear option. Nevertheless, in the aftermath of the dispute, opportunities exist to build on the US.-North Korea "Agreed Framework" and strengthen the peninsula's and regional security. Working from a "common-security" framework, the article proposes a number of ways -such as changes in U.S.

Forord Utredningsinstituttet fikk våren 1984 i oppdrag av Forskningspolitisk råd å gjennomføre en studie som belyser noen hovedtrekk ved norsk forskningsorganisasjon i etterkrigstiden. Dette er et omfattende emne som har vært lite belyst tidligere. Vi håper at det foreliggende arbeid, som er utført innenfor en svært kort tidsramme, vil være av interesse også for andre enn oppdragsgiveren. Vi håper videre at arbeidet kan stimulere til ytterligere innsats forå få belyst norsk forskningsorgani­ sasjon og forskningspolitikk. Utredningen er gjennomført av Hans Skoie. Oslo desember 1984 Sigmund Vangsnes, instituttsjef Forfatterens forord Utredningen retter søkelyset mot hovedtrekk i utviklingen av en norsk forskningsorganisasjon i etterkrigstiden. Med forskningsorganisasjon menes her den offentlige forskningsorganisasjon som skal være et redskap for myndigheters engasjement på FoU-området for å initiere, organisere og finansiere og dermed påvirke hovedretningene for FoU­ virksomheten. I utredningen søker man innledningsvis å tidfeste de viktigste be­ slutninger om norsk forskningsorganisasjon i 40-årsperioden I 945- 84. Forskningsrådsorganisasjonen - etableringsfase og debatt om hvil­ ke organer man bør ha - utgjør hovedtemaet i andre del. I tredje del er de nasjonale koordineringsspørsmål, departementenes såvel som de politiske partiers engasjement i FoU-spørsmål søkt belyst. Vektleg­ gingen er på diskusjoner og prinsipielle standpunkter. Det kan bety en fare for at uenighet og konflikt kan overskygge en normaltilstand av enighet.

Various forms of interaction between the group and the social environment will also have great impact on the fate of the group and its members. These are all processes and mechanisms that can be influ-enced through prevention and intervention measures – and more effectively so if action is based on knowledge of both the general phenomenon as well as of the local situation.
