Five years after the publication of the first title, Elections in Africa and three years after the publication of Elections in Asia and the Pacific, I now present the first compendium of electoral data that includes all American countries, from the introduction of universal male suffrage to the present day. The final part of the series Elections Worldwide, covering elections in Europe, is currently underway. The basic idea of these handbooks—systematic and historically com- plete documentation of elections in all countries worldwide—is almost 40 years old. The idea was born in the early 1960s, when Dolf Sternber- ger and Bernhard Vogel embarked on an extensive research project on the election of parliaments at the University of Heidelberg (Wahl der Parlamente und anderer Staatsorgane). Since then, several research projects on elections and electoral systems have been carried out in Hei- delberg, including empirical and theoretical publications covering the entire world. In 1978 a voluminous work on Africa was published under the subtitle Politische Organisation und Repräsentation in Afrika (Po- litical Organization and Representation in Africa). In the same year I finished Wahlsysteme der Welt (Electoral Systems of the World), inter- nationally better known in its Spanish version (Sistemas electorales del mundo, 1981). In the late 1980s an international research team under my direction began working on parliamentary and presidential elections in Latin America and the Caribbean. The main result concerning electoral data was published in 1993 in German (Handbuch der Wahldaten Lateinamerikas und der Karibik) and in Spanish (Enciclopedia Elec- toral Latinoamericana y del Caribe). A new project on elections and democratization in Africa and Latin America started in 1996. This pro- ject provided an ideal framework to revive the old idea of a worldwide compendium of electoral data. The first book in this new series was Elections in Africa (1999), ed- ited by Dieter Nohlen, Michael Krennerich, and Bernhard Thibaut, fol- lowed by Elections in Asia and the Pacific (2001), edited by Dieter Nohlen, Florian Grotz, and Christof Hartmann. Elections in the Americas is based on our previous work Handbuch der Wahldaten. But even so, most of the articles required a lot of time and energy in their elaboration: Collecting the relevant information, fit- vi ting the quantitative and qualitative data into a strict series of guidelines and often recalculating national data according to our standards. The editorial team demanded a great deal of patience from the authors, who had to answer never-ending questions. Such a work produces an appar- ently paradoxical outcome: The more time spent on enhancing an arti- cle, the clearer and simpler it finally appears to the reader. I am deeply grateful to the 31 contributors from more then ten differ- ent countries for their cooperation, patience, and encouragement. We have learnt a lot from them in these three years and their empathy with this project has become a decisive stimulus for us. I am also especially grateful to those individuals and organizations that made this book possible. First of all, I owe much to my editorial team in Heidelberg: Matthias Catón, Philip Stöver, and Matthias Trefs have tirelessly edited the articles and collected and standardized the relevant information. Katrin Falk, Julia Leininger, Arthur Mickoleit, Florian Rehli, and Johannes Schwehm helped in different phases of the project and Dominique Le Cocq provided most valuable help in revising the English version. I would also like to thank the Institut für Politische Wissenschaft (In- stitute of Political Science) at the University of Heidelberg for accom- modating the project, the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) in Washington, the Instituto Interamericano de Derechos Hu- manos (IIDH; Inter-American Institute for Human Rights) in Costa Rica, especially its Center for Electoral Assistance and Promotion (CAPEL), and the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA) in Stockholm. I am also indebted to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG; German Research Foundation), which supported the production of the typescript financially. Finally, I thank Dominic Byatt and Claire Croft at Oxford University Press for their encouragement and professional support. Working with them has been a pleasure.

    World Directory of Minorities Americas MRG Directory –> Cuba –> Cuba Overview Print Page Close Window Cuba Overview Environment Peoples History Governance Current state of minorities and indigenous peoples Environment Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean. It is located 150 kilometres south of the tip of the US state of Florida and east of the Yucatán Peninsula. On the east, Cuba is separated by the Windward Passage from Hispaniola, the island shared by Haiti and Dominican Republic. The total land area is 114,524 sq km, which includes the Isla de la Juventud (formerly called Isle of Pines) and other small adjacent islands. Peoples Main languages: Spanish Main religions: Christianity (Roman Catholic, Protestant), syncretic African religions The majority of the population of Cuba is 51% mulatto (mixed white and black), 37% white, 11% black and 1% Chinese (CIA, 2001). However, according to the Official 2002 Cuba Census, 65% of the population is white, 10% black and 25% mulatto. Although there are no distinct indigenous communities still in existence, some mixed but recognizably indigenous Ciboney-Taino-Arawak-descended populations are still considered to have survived in parts of rural Cuba. Furthermore the indigenous element is still in evidence, interwoven as part of the overall population's cultural and genetic heritage. There is no expatriate immigrant population. More than 75 per cent of the population is classified as urban. The revolutionary government, installed in 1959, has generally destroyed the rigid social stratification inherited from Spanish colonial rule. During Spanish colonial rule (and later under US influence) Cuba was a major sugar-producing territory.

Yemen’s Revolutionary Moment, Collective Memory and Contentious Politics | 3 ABSTRACT 2011 became a year of revolt for the Middle East and North Africa as a series of popular uprisings toppled veteran strongmen that had ruled the region for decades. The contentious mobilisations not only repudiated orthodox explanations for the resilience of Arab autocracy, but radically asserted the ‘political imaginary’ of a sovereign and united citizenry, so vigorously encapsulated in the popular slogan al-shaʿb yurīd isqāṭ al-niẓām (the people want to overthrow the system).

That's the way much of the American population perceives this administration. They're right. But while spouting "soak the rich" rhetoric to TV cameras, the Democratic leaders of the millionaires' club known as Congress bargain behind closed doors with their Republican cronies over how much more working people will pay for smokes, booze and gas. And they're no less en­ thusiastic in waving the Big Stick over the Persian Gulf, only pleading with Bush to let them "advise and consent" on when the shooting starts. The American people are not prepared to see their kids die in the sands of Saudi Arabia for the sake of Exxon profits and so that Washington can be cops of the world.
