It was made possible through the financial support rendered by Dutch trade union federation Federatie Nederlandse Vakbeweging (FNV) to the NUNW. This support has been a practical expression of trade union solidarity. We are also grateful to the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) which sponsored a seminar for an enlarged NUNW Central Executive Committee to discuss the findings of this study. The project was co-ordinated by LaRRI’s Herbert Jauch, who also wrote this booklet. Nepeti Nicanor, as well as Alfons Mosimane and Gert van Rooy of the University of Namibia were contributing researchers. Perri Caplan edited the language, Chris Ndivanga did the layout and Lamek Petrus supplied the photographs. We are grateful to the following trade unionists, who were prepared to be interviewed and share their knowledge and experience with us: Karin Amunjela (NAFAU) Alfred Angula (MUN) Cuana Angula (NAFAU) Mr Dausab (NATAU) Inge Daved (NUNW) Mariane Erastus (NUNW) Sylvester Gawaseb (NAFWU) Peter Gwarada (NANTU) Ranga Haikali (NUNW) Bertha Haileka (MANWU) Stephanus Heita (NATAU) Petrus N.

Namibian workers have not been spectators but active participants in the process of transforming Namibia into a free and independent country. Namibian workers have always understood that their struggle at the workplace was linked to the broader struggle for social justice. Namibian workers experienced exploitation at the workplace and colonial oppression as two sides of the same coin. Eight years after independence, the National Union of Namibian Workers (NUNW) as the dominant force among organised labour felt that the time has come to evaluate not only the achievements and failures of our country as a whole but also to have a critical look at ourselves. We felt that we needed a systematic evaluation of the NUNW and our affiliates in terms of our achievements and shortcomings

    DEVELOPMENTAL FUSION: CHINESE INVESTMENT, RESOURCE NATIONALISM, AND THE DISTRIBUTIVE POLITICS OF URANIUM MINING IN NAMIBIA by MEREDITH J. DEBOOM B.A., University of Iowa, 2009 M.A. University of Colorado at Boulder, 2013 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geography 2018 This thesis entitled: Developmental Fusion: Chinese Investment, Resource Nationalism, and the Distributive Politics of Uranium Mining in Namibia written by Meredith J. DeBoom has been approved for the Department of Geography John O’Loughlin, Chair Joe Bryan, Committee Member Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. IRB protocol # 14-0112 iii Abstract DeBoom, Meredith J. (PhD, Geography) Developmental Fusion: Chinese Investment, Resource Nationalism, and the Distributive Politics of Uranium Mining in Namibia Thesis directed by Professor John O’Loughlin China’s rising global influence has significant implications for the politics of natural resource extraction and development in sub-Saharan Africa. Focusing on the uranium industry, I analyze how China’s influence operates at global, national, and sub-national scales in relation to natural resource politics in the southern African country of Namibia. Specifically, I draw on multi-methods fieldwork to evaluate 1) how Namibians are engaging with Chinese investments in mining and 2) what implications these engagements have for the politics of mining and development, including natural resource ownership and the distribution of mining-associated benefits and costs.

  • National Assembly Performance
    Institute for Public Policy Research Not Speaking Out: Measuring National Assembly Performance By Ellison Tjirera and Graham Hopwood IPPR Comment No. 4 September 2009 This paper analyses the amount of contributions that members of the National Assembly made to parliamentary debate from September 2005 to October 2007 as one indicator of parliamentary performance. Although it has been speculated that some members of the National Assembly contribute very little to debates on bills and motions, as far as the IPPR is aware no research since independence has actually sought to quantify how much MPs contribute to debates in the House. The principal measure used for this research paper was the number of lines each MP contributed to debate in the Hansard – the official record of parliament. Originally, the IPPR had hoped to examine Hansard from the inception of the current parliament in 2005 until mid-2009. However, this has proved impossible because Hansard is not available from October 2007 onwards since editions have not been published since then. For this reason this analysis is based on a two-year period from September 2005 to early October 2007, which was felt to be a long enough period to make an assessment of how much MPs contributed to debate. The methodology used by this research paper is restricted solely to the amount of lines that MPs have contributed to the official record of parliamentary proceedings. No attempt is made to assess the quality of those contributions as this would involve highly subjective value judgements. This paper also does not attempt to assess how MPs may contribute to other aspects of parliamentary life, for example the committee system.
