This strategic undertaking will not only inform CDB’s support to the specific borrowing member countries, but also contribute to advancing gender equality in the Caribbean region.

  • Modeling the State: Postcolonial Constitutions in Asia and Africa＊
    Kyoto University Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 39, No. 4, March 2002 Modeling the State: Postcolonial Constitutions in Asia and Africa＊ Julian GO＊＊ Abstract This essay examines the independence constitutions of Asia and Africa in the twentieth cen- tury through a macro-comparative lens. The examination focuses upon the intra-imperial isomorphic thesis which proposes that newly independent countries, in formulating their constitutions, merely imitated the constitutional form of their former mother country. I find that while independent constitutions indeed imitated the constitutions of their former moth- er country, this mimicry was neither universal nor whole scale. It occurred foremost in terms of the constitutional provisions for governmental system. Conversely, at least half of the independence constitutions in Asia and Africa had provisions for religion, rights, and/or political parties that ran counter to the constitutional model of the former mother country. These countervailing tendencies to the logic of intra-imperial isomorphism reveal crucial trans-imperial influences on the making of modern postcolonial constitutions. Introduction The decolonization of Asia and Africa since WWII appears at once as a novel and yet banal historical process. On the one hand, it was an intensified moment of state-building and frenzied constitutional activity. As the Western empires crumbled, they left behind a mul- titude of nascent states each seeking to institute a new constitutional order. The number of these new states, and especially its impact upon the configuration of the global political map, is staggering. In 1910 there were 56 independent countries in the world. By 1970, after the first major wave of decolonization, the number had increased to 142.

  • Constitution Building: Constitution (2013) a Global Review
    Constitution Building: Constitution Building: A Global Review (2013) A Global Review Constitution Building: A Global Review (2013) Constitution building: A Global Review (2013) provides a review of a series of constitution building processes across the world, highlighting the possible connections between these very complex processes and facilitating a broad understanding of recurring themes. While not attempting to make a comprehensive compendium of each and every constitution building process in 2013, the report focuses on countries where constitutional reform was most central to the national agenda. It reveals that constitution building processes do matter. They are important to the citizens who took part in the popular 2011 uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa seeking social justice and accountability, whose demands would only be met through changing the fundamental rules of state and society. They are important to the politicians and organized interest groups who seek to ensure their group’s place in their nation’s future. Finally, they are important to the international community, as peace and stability in the international order is ever-more dependent on national constitutional frameworks which support moderation in power, inclusive development and fundamental rights.

  • LETTER to G20, IMF, WORLD BANK, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS and NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS
    LETTER TO G20, IMF, WORLD BANK, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS and NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS We write to call for urgent action to address the global education emergency triggered by Covid-19. With over 1 billion children still out of school because of the lockdown, there is now a real and present danger that the public health crisis will create a COVID generation who lose out on schooling and whose opportunities are permanently damaged. While the more fortunate have had access to alternatives, the world’s poorest children have been locked out of learning, denied internet access, and with the loss of free school meals - once a lifeline for 300 million boys and girls – hunger has grown. An immediate concern, as we bring the lockdown to an end, is the fate of an estimated 30 million children who according to UNESCO may never return to school. For these, the world’s least advantaged children, education is often the only escape from poverty - a route that is in danger of closing. Many of these children are adolescent girls for whom being in school is the best defence against forced marriage and the best hope for a life of expanded opportunity. Many more are young children who risk being forced into exploitative and dangerous labour. And because education is linked to progress in virtually every area of human development – from child survival to maternal health, gender equality, job creation and inclusive economic growth – the education emergency will undermine the prospects for achieving all our 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and potentially set back progress on gender equity by years.

  • The Relationship Between Religion and State in Jordan: (Historical Perspective)
    International Journal of History and Cultural Studies (IJHCS) Volume 4, Issue 1, 2018, PP 47-55 ISSN 2454-7646 (Print) & ISSN 2454-7654 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-7654.0401003 www.arcjournals.org The Relationship between Religion and State in Jordan: (Historical Perspective) Hani Ahmed Shboul* Al Balqa'a Applied University, Assalt- Jordan *Corresponding Author: Hani Ahmed Shboul, Al Balqa'a Applied University, Assalt- Jordan Abstract: Since its establishment, the Jordanian state has been characterized as a civil, not religious in the theocratic sense. The state has not established on a religious basis, nor has its legitimacy been based on a ‘religious ideology’. However, in contrast, it was not established on the basis of radical secularism, which entangles a confrontational spirit with conservative and religious trends in the society. Jordan has maintained a ‘balance’ between civil and religious requirements, and preserves this trait since its inception to this time, and through generations of successive kings: Abdullah I, Talal, Hussein and Abdullah II. The country did not come out from this public line at any stage, and this balance remained a key feature of Jordan’s policy. This study aims at identifying the type of relationship between religion and state in Jordan, in other words, how the Jordanian state manages its relationship with religion. Keywords: Jordan, King, Civil State, Balance, Secular, Religion. 1. INTRODUCTION Since the establishment of the Emirate of Transjordan in 1921 by its founder, Prince Abdullah bin Al Hussein, the state has achieved a stable and unchanged ‘balance’ in its relationship with religion (Islam)1.

Anglo- American nuclear relations were dependent on a strong level of trust between the two governments. The deception employed by President Reagan’s government in concealing American intentions concerning Grenada from the British government broke that trust.
