    An Inclusive Commonwealth This Year’S Theme Celebrates the Diversity of the Commonwealth, Which Is Made up of More Than Two Billion People

    An Inclusive Commonwealth This year’s theme celebrates the diversity of the Commonwealth, which is made up of more than two billion people. Every one of them is different, and each of them has something unique to offer. The Commonwealth Charter asserts that everyone is equal and deserves to be treated fairly, whether they are rich or poor, without regard to their race, age, gender, belief or other identity. The Commonwealth builds a better world by including and respecting everybody and the richness of their personalities.

    “POLITICAL CORRUPTION AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INTEGRITY LEGISLATION IN THE ORGANIZATION OF EASTERN CARIBBEAN STATES (OECS) WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO DOMINICA” Paper delivered by Julian N. Johnson Chairman of the Integrity Commission, Dominica th Tuesday 26 June, 2012 Caribbean Small States Conference, St Vincent and the Grenadines June 25 th – 26 th , 2012 ________________________________________________________________________________ “POLITICAL CORRUPTION AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INTEGRITY LEGISLATION IN THE ORGANIZATION OF EASTERN CARIBBEAN STATES (OECS) WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO DOMINICA” BY JULIAN N. JOHNSON 1. INTRODUCTION I have been invited to write a “practitioner’s paper” relating to the work of the integrity commissions in the member states of the OECS. It is taken that the Commonwealth Secretariat’s instructions, properly construed, require me to examine the recent anti-corruption statutes passed by the OECS governments and the performance of the integrity commissions focusing on the activities of the Integrity Commission of the Commonwealth of Dominica and drawing on my experiences as Chairman thereof over the past three years. Though my invitation is to produce a “practitioner’s paper” it would be remiss of me if I did not, at the outset, draw your attention to the study just published by an eminent regional academic and fellow practitioner in the field of the oversight of public sector ethical infrastructure – the former Contractor General of Jamaica, Dr. Derrick V. McKoy. In his book entitled “CORRUPTION: Law, Governance and Ethics in the Commonwealth Caribbean” (Hansib Pub., May 2012) the author sets out to address the issues of corruption in the Commonwealth Caribbean, the emerging law on the subject and the institutions established by member states to discourage corruption or to promote anti-corruption initiatives.

    Does Breaking Through the •Œfinal Glass Ceilingâ•Š Really Pave The

    Does Breaking Through the “Final Glass Ceiling” Really Pave the Way for Subsequent Women to Become Heads of State? 1 Does Breaking Through the “Final Glass Ceiling” Really Pave the Way for Subsequent Women to Become Heads of State? By Katherine Rocha, Joseph Palazzo, Rebecca Teczar and Roger Clark Rhode Island College Abstract Women’s ascension to the role of national president or prime minister of any country is a relatively new phenomenon in world history. The first woman to break the “final glass ceiling,” Sirinavo Bandaranaike of Ceylon (Sri Lanka today), did it in 1960, just 58 years ago. Since then, the ceiling has been broken in about 83 nations worldwide, but we still know little about what it takes for women to achieve such national leadership roles. Previous research (e.g., Jalalzai, 2013; Skard, 2015) has pointed to the importance of family connections, political turmoil, and the nature of a country’s political system. But only one study (Jalalzai, 2013) provided quantitative, cross-national support for any of these observations. Our paper replicates Jalalzai’s analysis, done using data from the first decade of the twenty-first century, with data from the second decade. We find that there have been dramatic changes over time. We find that family connections are now no more useful for explaining women’s rise to presidencies and prime ministerial positions than men’s; that, in fact, women are now more likely to rise in politically stable nation states than in fragile ones. And, perhaps most importantly, women are much more likely to ascend to the highest positions in countries where they have already broken the “final glass ceiling.” Keywords: final glass ceiling, women presidents, women prime ministers Introduction In a course on the Sociology of Gender we had learned that, while such a ceiling might exist in Following Hillary Clinton’s loss in the 2016 U.S.

  • Peacemakers Or Iron Ladies? a Cross National Study of Gender and International Conflict

    Peacemakers Or Iron Ladies? a Cross National Study of Gender and International Conflict

    Peacemakers or Iron Ladies? A Cross National Study of Gender and International Conflict Madison Schramm Alexandra Stark PhD Candidate, Georgetown University PhD Candidate, Georgetown University [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Conventional wisdom suggests that when women attain high political office they are more likely to act as peacemakers than their male counterparts. In contrast, this article argues that women political leaders may be more likely to initiate conflict than their male colleagues. The theory draws on insights from feminist theory, particularly the notion that gender is performative, to argue that the effects of a leader’s gender on foreign policy decision-making vary with social and institutional context. In order to gain and maintain status in elite policy in-groups, female leaders are incentivized to perform gender by signaling their toughness and competence through initiating conflict. Statistical tests provide evidence that female heads of state in democracies are more likely to initiate conflict than their male counterparts, and that this effect is conditioned both by domestic political constraints and overall levels of women’s political empowerment, thus providing evidence for the theorized causal mechanism.

She just did it backwards and in high heels.”- Ann Richards INTRODUCTION Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of the UK, the original ‘iron lady,’ is commonly understood as the militaristic exception to the rule of peaceful women leaders. Yet of the relatively small number women heads of government since 1945, many have earned the “iron lady” title.

Shepherd: The Politics of Memory: Historicizing Caribbean Women’s Political Activism My talk this evening is about historical memory and what women of the Caribbean as individuals or as a collective, and Caribbean states more broadly, conscious of women’s historic contributions, have done with such memory. Memories can be both pleasant and upsetting and what we do with memories depends on the nature of the memories, our distance from them, our philosophy of life, our activism or political commitment and what Fabienne Viala in her excellent book The Post-Columbus Syndrome: Identities, Cultural Nationalism and Commemorations in the Caribbean, calls “the different national templates of memory.1 ”We can adopt a posture of willed ignorance – that is, develop historical amnesia, refusing to remember; or we can remember deliberately and act on them intentionally. It is the project of acting on those memories—should we choose not to forget— that is political about memory.
