Introduction The Tenth African Regional Meeting of ILO member States in Africa (Addis Ababa, 2003) and the African Union Extraordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government on Employment and Poverty Alleviation in Africa (Ouagadougou, 2004) 1 set the framework for the ILO’s work in Africa over the last three years. The Tenth African Regional Meeting prepared the ground for the Ouagadougou Summit by adopting a set of conclusions that identified the main challenges facing the continent and endorsed the Decent Work Agenda as an effective strategy for Africa to tackle these challenges. In addition, the Meet- ing adopted two resolutions: one on decent work for youth and another on the role of social dialogue in addressing HIV/AIDS in the world of work. The Ouagadougou Summit produced a more detailed blueprint for action by the ILO, the member States, the African Union, the regional economic communities (RECs) and the international community at large. Before the Ouagadougou Summit, the ILO organized a first of its kind Social Partners’ Forum to ensure that the voice of employers’ and workers’ organizations, as well as relevant civil society organizations concerned with the world of work, would be heard. The Ouagadougou Summit had before it an issues paper, prepared by the ILO in cooperation with 15 other United Nations agencies that provided a coher- ent policy framework and was subsequently used to guide the development of Decent Work Country Programmes (DWCPs). The Ouagadougou Summit adopted a declaration, a plan of action and a follow-up mechanism, calling on member States to place employment at the centre of economic and social policies for sustainable poverty alleviation. The Ouagadougou Summit also called for the development of integrated economic and social policies and the implementation of reforms at national, regional and continental levels to elim- inate the structural constraints to investment and entrepreneurship. The follow-up mechanisms at the different levels include precise timetables for implementation, monitoring and reporting. Through the Ouagadougou Summit, decent work has in effect become an African goal and the ILO’s work in the region since the Ouagadougou Summit has principally aimed at assisting member States in implement- ing the plan of action. The plan of action adopted by the Ouagadougou Summit covers the following key priority areas: 1. ensuring political leadership and commitment to create an enabling environment of good gover- nance for investment, development and poverty alleviation in the context of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) and the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals; 2. promotion of the agricultural sector and rural development, sustainable management of the envi- ronment for food security and development of support infrastructure; 3. development of an appropriate framework for integration and harmonization of economic and social policies; 4. improving and strengthening the existing social protection schemes and extending them to work- ers and their families currently excluded, as well as occupational safety, health and hygiene; 5. empowerment of women by integrating them into the labour markets and to enable them to partici- pate effectively in the development of Poverty Reduction Strategies (PRSs), policies and programmes; 6. human and institutional capacity building for public and private institutions in charge of employ- ment promotion and poverty alleviation, including the social partners and other relevant actors of the civil society; 7. utilizing key sectors with high employment potential to generate more jobs and allocate adequate resources for that purpose; 8. building international cooperation, fair and equitable globalization, and partnerships for an enhanced international support to Africa’s efforts towards achieving sustainable development, putting emphasis on the employment agenda, poverty alleviation, regional integration and a better participation in the globalization process; 1 To be referred to as the “Ouagadougou Summit” in the remainder of this document. 1 ILO activities in Africa, 2004–2006 9. promoting regional and economic cooperation among the RECs in order to expand the economic space, intra and interregional trade, markets and to exploit the economies of scale; 10. targeting and empowering vulnerable groups, such as persons with disabilities, aged persons, migrants, children, youth and people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and other related infectious diseases, internally displaced persons, refugees, migrants and the working poor; 11. mobilization of resources at national, regional and international levels.

  • The Geopolitics of Laïcité in a Multicultural Age: French Secularism, Educational Policy and the Spatial Management of Difference
    The Geopolitics of Laïcité in a Multicultural Age: French Secularism, Educational Policy and the Spatial Management of Difference Christopher A. Lizotte A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Katharyne Mitchell, Chair Victoria Lawson Michael Brown Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Geography ©Copyright 2017 Christopher A. Lizotte University of Washington Abstract The Geopolitics of Laïcité in a Multicultural Age: French Secularism, Educational Policy and the Spatial Management of Difference Christopher A. Lizotte Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Katharyne Mitchell Geography I examine a package of educational reforms enacted following the January 2015 attacks in and around Paris, most notably directed at the offices of the satirical publication Charlie Hebdo. These interventions, known collectively as the “Great Mobilization for the Republic’s Values”, represent the latest in a string of educational attempts meant to reinvigorate a sense of national pride among immigrant-descended youth – especially Muslim – in France’s unique form of state secularism, laïcité. While ostensibly meant to apply equally across the nationalized French school system, in practice La Grande Mobilisation has been largely enacted in schools located in urban spaces of racialized difference thought to be “at risk” of anti-republican behavior. Through my work, I show that practitioners exercise their own power by subverting and adapting geopolitical discourses running through educational laïcité – notably global security, women’s rights, and communalism – are nuanced by school-based practitioners, who interpret state directives in the light of their institutional knowledge and responsiveness to the social and economic profiles of their student populations.

    BATTLE-SCARRED AND DIRTY: US ARMY TACTICAL LEADERSHIP IN THE MEDITERRANEAN THEATER, 1942-1943 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Steven Thomas Barry Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Allan R. Millett, Adviser Dr. John F. Guilmartin Dr. John L. Brooke Copyright by Steven T. Barry 2011 Abstract Throughout the North African and Sicilian campaigns of World War II, the battalion leadership exercised by United States regular army officers provided the essential component that contributed to battlefield success and combat effectiveness despite deficiencies in equipment, organization, mobilization, and inadequate operational leadership. Essentially, without the regular army battalion leaders, US units could not have functioned tactically early in the war. For both Operations TORCH and HUSKY, the US Army did not possess the leadership or staffs at the corps level to consistently coordinate combined arms maneuver with air and sea power. The battalion leadership brought discipline, maturity, experience, and the ability to translate common operational guidance into tactical reality. Many US officers shared the same ―Old Army‖ skill sets in their early career. Across the Army in the 1930s, these officers developed familiarity with the systems and doctrine that would prove crucial in the combined arms operations of the Second World War. The battalion tactical leadership overcame lackluster operational and strategic guidance and other significant handicaps to execute the first Mediterranean Theater of Operations campaigns. Three sets of factors shaped this pivotal group of men. First, all of these officers were shaped by pre-war experiences.

  • ISH 64 3 Book-Reviews 543..546
    Book Reviews of dominance and human emancipation, a perspective no less alien to the trade union movement. But that is another story. Michel Pigenet Centre d’Histoire sociale des mondes contemporains (UMR ) Université Paris Panthéon-Sorbonne rue Malher Paris, France E-mail: [email protected] doi:./S DE GRAAF,JAN. Socialism across the Iron Curtain. Socialist Parties in East and West and the Reconstruction of Europe after . [New Studies in European History.] Cambridge University Press, Cambridge .xii, pp. £.. (E-book: $..) WOLOCH,ISSER. The Postwar Moment. Progressive Forces in Britain, France, and the United States after World War II. Yale University Press, New Haven (CT) [etc.] . xxii, pp. Ill. $.. The historian Geoff Eley has identified post-war periods as moments of exceptional poten- tial. The disruptions attendant on major war create opportunities for recasting the dominant order at home and abroad as the forces underpinning the status quo emerge weakened and as actors become capable of imagining futures hitherto inconceivable. For Eley, such moments are also short-lived: older habits, familiar frameworks, and vested interests quickly combine to close windows of opportunity. Eley’s model is pertinent to the two books under review, for both deal with the years after World War II. The two books have other things in common: both examine political forces on the left, socialist (or social democratic) parties for Jan de Graaf and “progressives” for Isser Woloch; both seek to explain why some countries witnessed more progressive reforms than others; and, last but not least, both adopt an explicitly comparative approach. Of the two books, De Graaf’s is the most rigorously comparative, with each chapter care- fully examining the positions of the Czech, French, Italian, and Polish socialist (non- communist) parties.

When in 1950, five years after the end of the war and occupation, the suggestion of German rearmament was put to the French, the whole nation was profoundly shocked. However, thanks to recent research, particularly by Pierre Guillen and Raymond Poidevin, we know that many people realized very early on that the Soviet threat made rearma- ment inevitable. Many of those who accepted this painful necessity nevertheless disputed the terms of rearmament.
