IO BIO Database 1 Version March 2017 1 IO BIO Project Database 1: Persons and Entries Version March 2017 IO BIO Biographical Dictionary of Secretaries-General of International Organizations Edited by Bob Reinalda and Kent J. Kille, Assistant Editor Jaci Eisenberg Website: www.ru.nl/fm/iobio Contact: [email protected] IO BIO Databases 1 and 2: Introduction IO BIO Database 1 (Persons and Entries) is an alphabetical list of individual Secretaries-General (or individuals with other executive head titles) of inter-governmental organizations (IGOs) presented in two columns, with the names of the individuals in the first column and the related organization in the second column. IO BIO Database 2 (IGOs Included and Their Secretaries-General) provides an alphabetical overview of the IGOs included in the database, with the names of the IGOs in the first column and in the second column, in chronological order, the names of the various office-holders who have served. The IO BIO Database 1 listing format is kept intentionally simple, with names and additional information presented in two columns. The First Column starts with the person’s last name (as best that can be established) and continues with the first name(s), gender, nationality and years of birth and death (when available). Names of non-English origin are entered under prefixes as Al, D’, Da, De, El, Van, Von and Wa. For determining alphabetical order all accents (such as à, é, ó, ö and ü) and hyphens are neglected, as well as apostrophes in a name (for example, M’Bow reads as MBow, D’Offray as DOffray; note: Al-Hussein reads as one word, Al Hussein however as two words). With regard to names with different ordering (for example, Ban Ki-moon: under B, not K), we endeavour to follow national habits as much as possible. The first column thus provides an alphabetical list of all Secretaries-General included in the database. For a number of persons (those who are intended to be included in IO BIO, Biographical Dictionary of Secretaries-General of International Organizations) we have indicated in the first column a level of importance, which is related to the proposed length for those who want to write an IO BIO entry (the section ‘Entries Under Construction’ on the IO BIO Documents page on the website www.ru.nl/fm/iobio shows the names of those executive heads who already have an author). There are three category levels: Category 1 = 2,400-3,600 words, Category 2 = 1,200-2,400 words and Category 3 = 800-1,200 words. IO BIO Project Database 1: Persons and Entries Version March 2017 IO BIO: www.ru.nl/fm/iobio 2 The Second Column indicates the IGO’s name, the office title and, as precise as possible, the term in office. If the name of an IGO changed, we give information about previous and/or later names. The name of the IGO listed reflects the one used during that executive head’s time in office. Section A of IO BIO Database 2 provides an alphabetical list of the names of included IGOs, along with the organization’s acronym. Section B provides the same information as contained in Database 1 (Persons and Entries), but without the entries’ category designation. The First Column of Section B starts with the IGO’s name (and if the name of an IGO changed, there is information about previous and/or later names), the office title and the term in office. The Second Column of Section B indicates the executive head’s last name, first name(s), gender, nationality and years of birth and death (when available). Database 2 thus presents a chronological overview of the executive heads of an IGO for each organization. Database Set Up The first inventory of Secretaries-General of IGOs for the IO BIO Project was based on files with information on each IGO constructed by Bob Reinalda for the writing of his book Routledge History of International Organizations: From 1815 to the Present Day (2009). Among the institutional information are lists of executive heads as far as, and as detailed as, provided by the organizations, as well as sub files with researched and collected information on the executive heads. Subsequent updates to the databases have also relied on information stipulated by the IGOs. Unfortunately, many organizations do not directly provide very extensive details about their executive heads, so additional research is often required. The general impression is that most IGOs simply mention when a term in office starts and when it ends, with some organizations only noting years for the time in office, while others provide more detailed dates. Few institutions mention acting executive heads. Some IGOs provide pictures, but others do not make pictures available. Almost all IGOs are reticent with regard to providing information about what executive heads have actually done while in office. IGOs informing about executive head’s policies and achievements is an unusual occurrence. Not all IGOs provide personal information, but several do so by informing about some elements, such as national background, education, previous positions and also family situation, as well as prestigious prize awards. However, generally speaking, the information is rather restricted and as such insufficient for writing a (short) biography and career description as IO BIO wants to provide (see the ‘IO BIO Author Instructions’ for what should be included in an entry on the website www.ru.nl/fm/iobio). Researchers of IGOs, therefore, learn about executive heads by investigating the policies and related aspects of the organizations, but they also need other sources of information about the individual leaders. So-called ‘Who’s Whos’ are helpful in this respect, especially if they provide a chronological overview of functions of individuals. However, this is often done in a rather rigorous way and mostly restricted to a simple enumeration, which means that the relationships between the functions remain hidden. Biographical dictionaries and oral histories are more helpful in this respect, because they provide an overview of (parts of) a life or career. Unfortunately, the number of biographical entries of Secretaries-General of IGOs in these dictionaries is small, but several relevant oral history projects and digital collections are available. The number of Secretaries-General of IGOs dealt with on the Internet is restricted as well, and that goes also for the information that is provided IO BIO Project Database 1: Persons and Entries Version March 2017 IO BIO: www.ru.nl/fm/iobio 3 about these persons. Apart from the debate of whether Wikipedia texts are reliable, our experience is that there is not much information about Secretaries-General in Wikipedia (to our disappointment, it is even less than hoped for). Elements mentioned in Wikipedia texts, however, as well as the links in these texts, can be used in some circumstances to support further independent research. Some specific sources worth mentioning include Nobel Prizes, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, the American National Biography and Warren F. Kuehl’s Biographical Dictionary of Internationalists (1983). Specific databases are also useful, for instance the LONSEA database, which is based on material collected about the League of Nations, and the United Nations Career Records Project in Oxford. All sources mentioned here can be found in the document ‘Tools to Find More Data About My Secretary-General’ on the IO BIO website. The IO BIO databases have also benefited from reviewing the impressive work done by http://rulers.org/ (Ben Schemmel) and www.worldstatesmen.org (Ben Cahoon and others), which include list inventories of Secretaries-General of many IGOs among the leaders provided and often provide more precise dates than the IGOs themselves do and also mention acting executive heads. However, these websites do not specify their sources and reviewing various sources can provide different answers to simple questions, such as: when exactly did an executive head start, or end, her or his term in office, or: when was a person born or when did this person die? Not providing sources is understandable (IO BIO also does not publicly provide source support for each dimension of the databases, although each part of the data is carefully cross-checked and verified to the best of our ability), as this requires a lot of space to mention all sources as well as the arguments why certain dates were chosen, or why others were not. Hence, scholars employing the data provided by IO BIO may note conflicts with other sources such as rulers.org, wordstatesmen.org, LONSEA and even specialist literature. IO BIO works hard to be as precise as possible, drawing on the information that has been found, preferably based on primary sources, and the assessments made. Nonetheless, due to relying on (a combination of) different sources, information such as birth and death years and terms in office can be questionable in some instances. Hence, all information about persons and organizations must always be scrutinized and used in a critical manner. If any mistakes are seen in the IO BIO databases, or there is additional information to be added, please inform the Editors at [email protected]. Previous Versions The original IO BIO databases were set up in 2010, then corrected several times and posted again as the 2012 version. The 2015 version was a major update that included extending the list of Secretaries-General to cover current office-holders at the time, adding additional IGOs and making corrections where needed. The March 2017 version is a major update again, making corrections where needed as well as covering current office-holders and adding additional IGOs. While a variety of web sources were provided in previous versions, since these are often changing we restrict ourselves in the March 2017 version to simply providing the data instead of also publicly detailing web link updates.

  • Statistik Politik 2014 Iii Iv Statistik Politik 2014 Daftar Isi
    Kata Pengantar Kondisi politik Tahun 2014 sangat dinamis, menyedot hampir seluruh energi politik nasional. Penyelenggaraan Pemilu Legislatif, dan Pemilihan Pasangan Presiden dan Wakil Presiden menjadi gravitasi dan puncak dari seluruh persiapan partai-partai politik yang sudah mulai terlihat sebelum tahun Pemilu. Sekalipun demikian kita bersyukur kedua kegiatan itu berlangsung dengan lancar dan tidak terjadi konflik horizontal di masyarakat. Menjelang dan sesudah penyelenggaraan Pemilu, banyak data politik yang menarik didokumentasikan secara statistik. Bukan hanya terkait hasil, namun berbagai data dalam tahapan proses Pemilu merupakan data berharga. Informasi semacam ini dapat membantu kita mengidentifikasi fenomena politik yang sedang berkembang, sebagai dasar untuk melakukan perbaikan program pembangunan bidang politik pada masa mendatang. Secara konsisten Publikasi Statistik Politik terus memberikan perhatian pada representasi perempuan di ruang politik. Sebagai contoh dalam setiap kali terbit, publikasi ini senantiasa menyajikan rekapitulasi Pegawai Negeri Sipil (PNS), kepala desa, anggota DPR/DPRD dan kepengurusan partai politik terpilah jenis kelamin. Pada tahun ini disajikan pula rekapitulasi calon legislatif pada pemilu 2014. Pada Tahun 2014 dari 43 daerah yang seyogyanya melaksanakan Pemilu Kepala Daerah (Pilkada) hampir semua menunda pelaksanaannya, kecuali beberapa daerah seperti Lampung. Penundaan ini didasarkan pada imbauan Menteri Dalam Negeri, mengingat pada tahun 2014 secara nasional dilaksanakan dua kali pemilu, pemilu legislatif dan pemilu pasangan presiden dan wakil presiden. Karena itu data tentang Pilkada tahun 2014 tidak banyak mengalami perubahan. Publikasi Statistik Politik ini diharapkan dapat menjadi sumber data untuk melakukan monitoring, evaluasi maupun analisis perkembangan politik terkini. Akhirnya kami berharap buku ini bermanfaat bagi penyusunan program pembangunan politik pada masa mendatang, sehingga politik Indonesia menjadi semakin matang dan menyejahterakan.

I declare that my thesis consists of 107,529 words. 2 In memory of my brother, Rahul 3 Abstract Among the most enduring diplomatic projects in the postcolonial Third World, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN has for long inspired antipodal reviews ranging from the celebratory to the derisive among the scholars and practitioners of international relations. These judgments notwithstanding, the varied practices of ASEAN’s diplomacy have impressively grown in scope, ritual, and ambition in the years following the Cold War and well into the contemporary post- unipolar conjuncture where ASEAN has emerged as a default manager of a geopolitical landscape bookended by the material and symbolic power struggles of China and the United States in Asia Despite the abundance of writings on ASEAN and Asian security, much about its routine production and performance remain enigmatic.

Bokhari (HEC) Professor Submitted by: Abdul Majid 2011 CENTRE FOR SOUTH ASIAN STUDIES University of the Punjab, Quaid-e-Azam Campus, Lahore, Pakistan. PERFORMANCE OF SAARC AS A REGIONAL ORGANIZATION IN COMPARISON WITH ASEAN AND ECO A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science. Abdul Majid 2011 CENTRE FOR SOUTH ASIAN STUDIES University of the Punjab, Quaid-e-Azam Campus, Lahore, Pakistan. DECLARATION Except where indicated this thesis is my original work carried out for the Ph.D degree at the University of the Punjab. ___________ Abdul Majid DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my parents Sultana Begum & Muhammad Ibrahim. ABSTRACT With limited output and a avoid sarcastic expressions gap between its promise and performance, SAARC has a long way to go to become an effective organization for regional cooperation. The common vision upholding the ideals of peace, stability, good-neighborly relations and mutually beneficial cooperation in South Asia remains a distant dream. The problems besetting its member states and those hampering a coherent regional approach remain unaddressed. SAARC’s regional approach not only lacks operational mechanism but is also captive to its peculiar geo-political environment in which India’s hegemonic role and its outstanding unresolved problems with its neighbors continue to hamper meaningful progress toward regional integration. Regional cooperation in Asia is not a recent phenomenon. This regional cooperation started in 1964 when Pakistan, Iran and Turkey, induced by the Cold War context and encouraged by the U.S., established a cooperative mechanism called “Regional Cooperation for Development” or RCD as it was more familiarly known.
