  • Unu-Cris Working Papers
    UNU-CRIS WORKING PAPERS W-2007/11 TRADE STRUCTURE AS A CONSTRAINT TO MULTILATERAL AND REGIONAL ARRANGEMENTS IN SUB -SAHARAN AFRICA : THE WTO AND THE AFRICAN UNION Alice Sindzingre * *Research Fellow, CNRS Paris-University, Paris-10-EconomieX; Associate Researcher, Institut de Sciences Politiques (IEP), Bordeaux; Visiting lecturer, School of Oriental and African Studies, London. E-mails: [email protected] ; [email protected] Abstract A crucial factor explains the poor economic performance of Sub-Saharan Africa, i.e. the risky market and trade structure that is entailed by commodity dependence, because of the volatility of commodity prices, therefore the volatility of earnings and its negative fiscal effects, which in turn threaten to create poverty traps. This structure is compounded by additional constraints stemming from globalisation, and trade reforms that are conditional on programmes with the international financial institutions (IFIs) and WTO membership. The paper shows that the detrimental factors of commodity dependence and lack of an industrial base, though they constitute crucial obstacles to long-term growth in Sub-Saharan Africa, have not been addressed in depth by the IFI programmes and the WTO rules and negotiations, including albeit welcomed decisions on the enhancing of market access and the removal of agricultural subsidies. The latter, particularly when some form of tariff escalation is maintained, does not transform the commodity-exporting structure of Sub-Saharan Africa. The disappointment with multilateralism that emerged in the 1990s has reinforced the thrust towards regional and bilateral agreements. The paper argues that these agreements do not constitute a preferable alternative to trade liberalisation on a multilateral basis because they are often ineffective in helping Sub-Saharan African countries to diversify and reinforce their industrial sectors.

  • Application of Link Integrity Techniques from Hypermedia to the Semantic Web
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Department of Electronics and Computer Science A mini-thesis submitted for transfer from MPhil to PhD Supervisor: Prof. Wendy Hall and Dr Les Carr Examiner: Dr Nick Gibbins Application of Link Integrity techniques from Hypermedia to the Semantic Web by Rob Vesse February 10, 2011 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE A mini-thesis submitted for transfer from MPhil to PhD by Rob Vesse As the Web of Linked Data expands it will become increasingly important to preserve data and links such that the data remains available and usable. In this work I present a method for locating linked data to preserve which functions even when the URI the user wishes to preserve does not resolve (i.e. is broken/not RDF) and an application for monitoring and preserving the data. This work is based upon the principle of adapting ideas from hypermedia link integrity in order to apply them to the Semantic Web.

  • The Role of the South Tarawa-Based Women's Interests Program in The
    Waves for Change: the role of the South Tarawa-based women’s interests program in the decolonisation process of the Gilbert Islands SAMANTHA ROSE BA (Hons), Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Submitted in full requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Division of Research and Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology Research Students Centre January 2014 i KEYWORDS History; women; decolonisation; Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony (GEIC); Kiribati; Tuvalu; women’s clubs; women’s interests; border-dweller; Church-based women’s clubs; women’s fellowships; indigenisation; gender; custom; Pacific women; community workers ii ABSTRACT Histories of the Republic of Kiribati (formerly the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony (GEIC)) have failed to fully acknowledge the pivotal role women played individually, as well as collectively through the phenomenon of women’s clubs, in preparing the Colony for independence. In the late 1950s, and in anticipation of the eventual decolonisation of Pacific territories, humanitarian developments within the South Pacific Commission (SPC) called for women's interests to be recognised on the regional Pacific agenda. The British Colonial administration, a founding member of the SPC, took active steps to implement a formalised women's interests program in the GEIC. Acknowledging that women were to have a legitimate role in the new independent nation, albeit restricted to that of the domestic sphere and at the village level, the British Colonial administration, under the leadership of Resident Commissioner VJ Andersen, initiated strategies aimed at building the capacity of organisational structures, personnel, training, networks and communication for community betterment. The strategy focussed on the informal adult education of village women through the creation of a national network of village-based women's clubs.

    __ê 1- CU^ T r - d ! ^ COUNTRIES AND STAMPS. COUNTRIES AND STAMPS. TH E BRITISH EMPIRE. BV HARRIET^ COL VILE {Author of “M î G randmother's A lbüm,” etc., etc., etc.) B oscombe, Bournemouth : CHAS. J. ENDLE & Co L ondon : W. J. P. M onckton & Co., F l e e t St r p ě t , E.C, 1906, PREFACE. T he collecting of Postage Stamps has become so universal a hobby that it is regarded in some families as a phase through which each boy-member passes in turn, selling his collection— perhaps to his life-long regret— when the mania subsides, or when he happens to be in want of a little ready cash. For this reason, and because stamps are too often regarded solely at their commercial value, philately, or stamp collecting, is perhaps underrated as a means of education. If there is not much to be learnt of the history of some countries by their postage stamps, that of many others may be clearly traced in the pages of a well-arranged stamp album, even apart from the extremely interesting ■** commemoration ” issues occupying an important place in modern philately. It is, however, obvious that such a collection in­ terprets history only to the student already acquainted with the facts it suggests. Stamp catalogues and works dealing with technical philatelic details abound, but there exists, apparently, no simple historical guide by which the young collector can interpret the stories told— in how many languages !— by the world’s postage stamps. Having access to a good library, the present writer has gleaned from various sources information not found in any single book ; and trusts that these briefly-told histories of British Colonies and their adhesive postage stamps may find a welcome amongst young philatelists throughout the vast Empire to which they are proud to belong.
