  • From Service Model Unionism to Social Movement Unionism in Mauritius and Rodrigues: a Critical Review of Practice and Trends
    International Research Symposium in Service Management ISSN 1694-0938 From service model unionism to social movement unionism in mauritius and rodrigues: a critical review of practice and trends. Anita Ramgutty-Wong Faculty of Law and Management University of Mauritius Réduit MAURITIUS rwong@uom.ac.mu Le Meridien Hotel, Mauritius, 24-27 August 2010 1 International Research Symposium in Service Management ISSN 1694-0938 From service model unionism to social movement unionism in mauritius and rodrigues: a critical review of practice and trends. Paper type: Empirical; Exploratory. Abstract Purpose: The literature on the service or ‘servicing’ model of unionism has lately stressed not only a trend pointing to a gradual movement away from this approach to unionism, but also the necessity for the union movement to seriously consider the adoption of an organizing form of activity, and even better, of gearing their services towards the newer, “social movement” form of unionism in the wake of the pressures of globalization. Design/Methodology: A nationwide study was conducted with a broad spectrum of objectives, and this paper draws from the study to present findings on the orientation of unions along this so-called conceptual continuum (moving from Servicing to Organising to Social movement unionism) of approaches and to discuss the policies and approaches used by unions as they go about their business of serving their members. Findings: The most salient finding is that the highest form of social movement unionism is to be observed not in Mauritius,

  • 2549-1296 Volume 3, Number 1, January 2019 Unilateral Claim Ov
    Padjadjaran Journal of International Law ISSN: 2549-2152, EISSN: 2549-1296 Volume 3, Number 1, January 2019 Unilateral Claim over Chagos Archipelago as British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) by United Kingdom Based on International Law Jerina Novita Elpasari Abstract In 1965, United Kingdom (UK) made a unilateral claim over the Chagos Archipelago as British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) based on the BIOT Order of 1965 and Statutory Instrument of 1965 No. 1020. Due to this unilateral act, the Chagos Archipelago no longer parts of Mauritius. Problem arising from Britain's unilateral claim to the territory was further aggravated by the United Kingdom’s act in enforcing population transfer towards all Chagos islanders (Chagossians) out of the territory without adequate compensations and resettlement. This research aims to analyze the legality of unilateral claims over the Chagos archipelago as a BIOT and the enforced transfer of Chagossians from their original residential place by the United Kingdom. It argues that under international law, Chagos Archipelago is recognized as an area that should remain integrated within the territory of Mauritius. It further argues that the UK has violated international law by committing enforced population transfer. Keywords: BIOT, Enforced Population Transfer, Territory, The Chagos Archipelago, Unilateral Act. Klaim Sepihak Inggris terhadap Kepulauan Chagos sebagai British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) Berdasarkan Hukum Internasional Abstrak Pada tahun 1965, Inggris melakukan klaim sepihak atas wilayah Kepulauan Chagos sebagai British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) berdasarkan British Indian Ocean Territory Order of 1965 dan Statutory Instrument of 1965 No. 1020. Kepulauan Chagos merupakan bagian dari Mauritius pada saat Mauritius berada dibawah penjajahan Inggris.

Condemned with the misfortune of not being endowed with natural resources, relative to her mainland African counterparts, Mauritius, nonetheless, was able to break the shackles of limited economic options and one of being the ‘basket-case’ to gradually evolving into being the upper-middle-income country - thus depicting it to be one of the most encouraging economies within the developing world.

The thesis is to be used for private study or non-commercial research purposes only. University WOMEN AND POLITICS IN A PLURAL SOCIETY: THE CASE OF MAURITIUS Town Ramola RAMTOHULCape of Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the UniversityAfrican Gender Institute University of Cape Town February 2009 Women and Politics in a Plural Society: The Case of Mauritius ABSTRACT This research is a socio-historical study of women and politics in the Indian Ocean Island of Mauritius. It traces the historical evolution of women‟s political engagement in social and women‟s movements as well as in the formal political institutions. The backdrop to this study was my interest in the field of women and politics and concern on women‟s marginal presence in the Mauritian parliament since women obtained the right to vote and stand for election in 1947, and until recently, the stark silences on this issue in the country. Mauritius experienced sustained democracy following independence and gained a solid reputation in terms of its stable democratic regime and economic success. Despite these achievements, the Mauritian democracy is deficient with regard to women‟s representation at the highest level of decision-making, in parliament. Moreover, the absence of documentation on this topic has rendered the scope of thisTown study broad. In this thesis I primarily draw on the postcolonial feminist writings to study women‟s political activism in social and women‟s movements.
