JUDICIAL FORGING OF A POLITICAL WEAPON: THE IMPACT OF THE COLD WAR ON THE LAW OF CONTEMPT MELVIN B. LEWIS* I. THE ROOTS OF CONTEMPT JURISPRUDENCE Contempt, in its legal sense, is a concept under whose rubric a court or legislative body punishes acts which impede the perform- ance of its official function. The details of its provenance are un- clear. It arose, however, at a time in English history when the powers of the monarch were absolute, and the judicial and parlia- mentary functions were subservient to royal authority. Thus, a dis- respectful act directed toward such a body was defiance of the crown itself, and the contempt power was designed to vindicate royal authority.

  • Beggars on Horseback: Creating a Pan- African Power Paradigm for the 21St Century
    Beggars On Horseback: Creating a Pan- African Power Paradigm for the 21st Century BEGGARS ON HORSEBACK CREATING A PAN AFRICAN POWER PARADIGM FOR THE 21ST CENTURY “Set a beggar on horseback and he’ll ride to the devil…”Tshiluba proverb FORWARD This is an Essay on Africa written on the eve of the 21st Century. Initially penned while the author was living in Africa as a cofounder of the Institute For the Development of Pan-African Policy, IDPAP, this essay was intended to serve as that NGO’s Geopolitical, and Economic Overview at the time. Though written in 1998-99, much of what now besets Africa, the AU, and African leaders have their roots in the Historical analysis presented here. Because of its length, “Beggars On Horseback” will be reproduced here in three parts, the last of which will address the current Western, U.S., and Chinese expropriation of Africa’s strategic minerals and resources under the Rubric of Globalization, and the “War on Islamic Extremism or “Terrorism.” DBW On the eve of the 21st century, Africa is up for sale at bargain basement prices. Many African states and Africa’s political leadership seem to engage in dead end diplomatic and economic activity because they perceive Africa as undeveloped rather than unorganized. African leaders have accepted the European concepts of power as hierarchical and external. Consequently, they have acquiesced to Eurocentric power paradigms, which marginalized Africa and wring their hands in despair while accepting the commandments of the IMP from on high. To some Africans desperate for hard currency and favorable foreign exchange selling Africa is just another game they play along with.
