GOVERNOR OF THE BANK AND THE FUND FOR NIGERIA Welcome to the 64th plenary of the Boards of Governors of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group. Back in early summer, I discussed wide-ranging reform ideas with the Fund, which is the lead agency for the preparation of the meet- ings this year, and with the Bank about modernizing the Annual Meetings. In just a few months, a full transformation of these Meet- ings has taken place, which had not changed in format for over half a century. We have a more focused and efficient plenary, we have a more attractive framework for Governors to deliver speeches, and we have an impressive Annual Meetings logo. I hope that in future years we can build on these far-reaching innovations and continue to take the Meetings forward. My fellow Governors, the global economic crisis has had a severe impact across the globe, exacerbating existing problems and creating new challenges. The international community must now develop a new global architecture that will reduce the chance of a recurrence, address negative spillovers more effectively, protect the vulnerable and lay the foundations for strong, sustainable, job-rich, and broad-based growth. When the membership of the Bretton Woods Institutions first came together in 1946, the global economy was vastly different. The chal- lenges facing the world were more formidable than today. And the membership’s capacity to act was more limited. Nonetheless, we suc- ceeded then; and, together, we can also succeed now. Through multilateral cooperation, the membership now provides an even stronger basis to tackle global challenges. Virtually every country and type of economy is a member, providing different perspec- tives, and allowing for greater collaboration. This capacity of the membership to act together, to act promptly, and to act decisively has supported the Institutions in providing unprece- dented levels of assistance to members in need during the financial crisis, and in what has followed since. Members responded by strengthening the lending capacity of the IMF and the World Bank Group to support future financing of growth and to help countries better confront risks. And the Institutions have delivered. Since the crisis began, the Fund committed an unprecedented 223 billion US dollars to its members, including under precautionary arrangements, and disbursed 72 billion US dollars. In the same time frame, the World Bank Group committed 138 billion US dollars to its members, and disbursed a record 88 bil- lion—including 22 billion to the world’s 79 poorest countries. 1 7912_CH01_p001-058.pdf 3/18/11 10:21 AM Page 2 Above all, this has been a human crisis. Vulnerable populations in middle-income and the poorest countries experienced setbacks that could stall progress toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals.

  • Thailand White Paper
    THE BANGKOK MASSACRES: A CALL FOR ACCOUNTABILITY ―A White Paper by Amsterdam & Peroff LLP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For four years, the people of Thailand have been the victims of a systematic and unrelenting assault on their most fundamental right — the right to self-determination through genuine elections based on the will of the people. The assault against democracy was launched with the planning and execution of a military coup d’état in 2006. In collaboration with members of the Privy Council, Thai military generals overthrew the popularly elected, democratic government of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, whose Thai Rak Thai party had won three consecutive national elections in 2001, 2005 and 2006. The 2006 military coup marked the beginning of an attempt to restore the hegemony of Thailand’s old moneyed elites, military generals, high-ranking civil servants, and royal advisors (the “Establishment”) through the annihilation of an electoral force that had come to present a major, historical challenge to their power. The regime put in place by the coup hijacked the institutions of government, dissolved Thai Rak Thai and banned its leaders from political participation for five years. When the successor to Thai Rak Thai managed to win the next national election in late 2007, an ad hoc court consisting of judges hand-picked by the coup-makers dissolved that party as well, allowing Abhisit Vejjajiva’s rise to the Prime Minister’s office. Abhisit’s administration, however, has since been forced to impose an array of repressive measures to maintain its illegitimate grip and quash the democratic movement that sprung up as a reaction to the 2006 military coup as well as the 2008 “judicial coups.” Among other things, the government blocked some 50,000 web sites, shut down the opposition’s satellite television station, and incarcerated a record number of people under Thailand’s infamous lèse-majesté legislation and the equally draconian Computer Crimes Act.

  • 1492 Reconsidered: Religious and Social Change in Fifteenth Century Ávila
    1492 RECONSIDERED: RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN FIFTEENTH CENTURY ÁVILA by Carolyn Salomons A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May 2014 © 2014 Carolyn Salomons All Rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation is an assessment of the impact of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 on the city of Ávila, in northwestern Castile. The expulsion was the culmination of a series of policies set forth by Isabel I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon regarding Jewish-Christian relations. The monarchs invoked these policies in order to bolster the faith and religious praxis of Catholics in the kingdoms, especially those Catholics newly converted from Judaism. My work shows how the implementation of these strategies began to fracture the heretofore relatively convivial relations between the confessional groups residing in Ávila. A key component of the Crown’s policies was the creation of a Jewish quarter in the city, where previously, Jews had lived wherever they chose. This transformation of a previously shared civic place to one demarcated clearly by religious affiliation, i.e. the creation of both Jewish and Christian space, had a visceral impact on how Christians related to their former neighbors, and hostilities between the two communities increased in the closing decades of the fifteenth century. Yet at the same time, Jewish appeals to the Crown for assistance in the face of harassment and persecution were almost always answered positively, with the Crown intervening several times on behalf of their Jewish subjects. This seemingly incongruous attitude reveals a key component in the relationship between the Crown and Jews: the “royal alliance.” My work also details how invoking that alliance came at the expense of the horizontal alliances between Abulense Jews and Christians, and only fostered antagonism between the confessional groups.

  • Disabled Bodies in Early Modern Spanish Literature: Prostitutes, Aging Women and Saints Representations: H E a Lt H , Di Sa Bi L I T Y, Culture and Society
    Disabled Bodies in Early Modern Spanish Literature: Prostitutes, Aging Women and Saints REPRESENTATIONS: HEALT H , DI SA BI L I T Y, CULTURE AND SOCIETY Series Editor Stuart Murray, University of Leeds Robert McRuer, George Washington University This series provides a ground-breaking and innovative selection of titles that showcase the newest interdisciplinary research on the cultural representations of health and disability in the contemporary social world. Bringing together both subjects and working methods from literary studies, film and cultural studies, medicine and sociology, ‘Representations’ is scholarly and accessible, addressed to researchers across a number of academic disciplines, and prac- titioners and members of the public with interests in issues of public health. The key term in the series will be representations. Public interest in ques- tions of health and disability has never been stronger, and as a consequence cultural forms across a range of media currently produce a never-ending stream of narratives and images that both reflect this interest and generate its forms. The crucial value of the series is that it brings the skilled study of cultural narratives and images to bear on such contemporary medical concerns. It offers and responds to new research paradigms that advance understanding at a scholarly level of the interaction between medicine, culture and society; it also has a strong commitment to public concerns surrounding such issues, and maintains a tone and point of address that seek to engage a general audience.

  • Political Demonology, Dehumanization, and Contemporary Thai Politics
    Asia-Pacific Social Science Review 19(2) 2019, pp. 115–130 RESEARCH ARTICLE Political Demonology, Dehumanization, and Contemporary Thai Politics Siwach Sripokangkul1* and Mark S. Cogan2 1Khon Kaen University, Thailand 2Kansai Gaidai University, Japan [email protected] Abstract: The employment of acts of political demonology has become common among power holders in Thai society. Demonization campaigns trace back to the early 1970s when Thai nationalists deemed Communists to be “beasts in human clothing.” This paper reviews demonization strategies employed by power holders (countersubversives) to undermine, marginalize, and repress anti-government protesters (subversives), beginning with the formative 1970s student movements, and continuing through the 2014 military coup d’état. We argue through a series of vignettes that the Thai elites have conveniently labeled anti-government protesters and their mobilization networks as demons, trolls, or animals due to their supposed threats to the Thai state, its monarchy, or national religion. Keywords: political demonology, Thailand, dehumanization, state violence, repression Demonology, or regarding others as non-human Although demonology has been accredited with or as being unwelcome, is a phenomenon that has origins in the United States because of Rogin’s been around as long as political society itself. The work, there are oft-cited examples elsewhere, such political variety is primarily derived from Michael as the Nazi dissemination of a massive ideological Rogin’s (1987) book, “Ronald Reagan, The Movie dehumanization of a host of other groups of people, and Other Episodes in Political Demonology, which devaluing these groups as lower forms of life, called to the attention the creation of monsters as a commonly associated with animals (Steizinger, 2018).

El 29 de abril de 1931 contrajo matrimonio con Patrocinio Javaloy Lizón, natural de Orihuela. Al final de su vida, víspera de su muerte, el 4 de noviembre de 1978, en las últimas horas de su vida se encerró en un mutismo absoluto, su esposa que estuvo siempre junto a él, le dijo: «Pero Pedro ¿por qué no me dices nada? ¿No te das cuenta que día y noche estoy junto a ti...? Abriendo mucho los ojos y fijando su mirada, le contestó: “tú has sido el único amor de mi vida”», resumiendo así su cristiana ejemplar vivencia esponsal.
