1 the Politics of Ghostwriting Lawyers
1 The Politics of Ghostwriting Lawyers “The lawyers of the United States form a party which is but little feared and scarcely per- ceived, which has no badge peculiar to itself, which adapts itself with great flexibility to the exigencies of the time. it acts upon the country imperceptibly, but it finally fashions it to suit its purposes." – Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America1 If, as James Scott argues, most politics are “like infrared rays," taking place “beyond the visible end of the spectrum" and contradicting or inflecting “what appears in the public transcript," then lawyers are the virtuosos of democratic “infrapolitics."2 For under “the auspices of a disinterested exchange in the service of the law,"3 lawyers can remake social relations, broker fields of knowledge, construct novel polities, and dismantle old ones. Ubiquitous in Western societies, they are embedded in any social movement challenging or consolidating political authority.4 Yet officially they are to remain offstage, neither repre- senting their own interests (but those of their clients) nor providing decisions under law (for that is the judge’s job). Amidst clients ‘lawyering up’ and judges ‘pronouncing the words of the law,’ lawyers make do with the appearance of mere go-betweens. 1Tocqueville, Alexis de. 2003 [1862]. Democracy in America, Vols.

He appealed to the masses. He was a far-right conservative Christian, but he was less radical than the Portuguese Fascist Party of the time. His campaign speeches appeased the syndicalists as well as the wealthy landowners in Portugal. However, he never was -

African Troops in the Portuguese Colonial Army, 1961-1974
J. P. BORGES COELHO, PORTUGUESE STUDIES REVIEW 10 (1) (2002): 129-50 African Troops in the Portuguese Colonial Army, 1961-1974: Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique1 João Paulo Borges Coelho Eduardo Mondlane University, Maputo, Mozambique Abstract: The colonial powers systematically included Africans in the wars waged to preserve their order. Portugal was not an exception in this respect. Since 1961, with the beginning of the liberation wars in her colonies, Portugal incorporated Africans in her war effort in Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique through a process enveloped in an ideological discourse based on “multi-racialism” and on the preservation of the empire. African engagement varied from marginal roles as servants and informers to more important ones as highly operational combat units. By the end of the Portuguese colonial war, in 1974, African participation had become crucial, representing about half of all operational colonial troops. This paper explores in a comparative framework the three cases of Angola, Guinea- Bissau and Mozambique, seeking the rationale behind the process and the shapes it took. The abrupt end of the colonial war, triggered by a military coup in Portugal, paved the way for the independence of the colonies, but left a legacy difficult to manage by the newly independent countries. Shedding some light on the destiny of the former African collaborators during this period, the paper suggests that they played a role in the post- independence civil conflicts in Angola and Mozambique. © 2002 Portuguese Studies Review.

“You Are a Political Soldier:” the People's War in N'wamitwa 1989
“You Are a Political Soldier:” The People’s War in N’wamitwa 1989-1994 by Faelan Lundeberg Bachelor of Arts, University of Victoria, 2014 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Faelan Lundeberg, 2019 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii “You Are a Political Soldier:” The People’s War in N’wamitwa 1989-1994 by Faelan Lundeberg Bachelor of Arts, University of Victoria, 2014 Supervisory Committee Dr. Elizabeth Vibert, Department of History, University of Victoria. Supervisor Dr. Andrew Wender, Department of History, University of Victoria. Departmental Member iii Abstract: In the waning days of apartheid, an operative of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of South Africa’s most powerful dissident organization the African National Congress, returned to his home community of N’wamitwa after over a decade in exile. His mission was to spark a people’s war, an imported form of revolutionary warfare developed by Mao Zedong and perfected by the North Vietnamese in their revolutionary struggles. In this thesis I examine the political context in which the ANC chose to adopt the strategy and how it was imported into South Africa. The later chapters of this thesis use N’wamitwa as a case study examining how a people’s war is successfully implemented on the ground. I argue that one can see the three phases of a people’s war as articulated by Mao play out in N’wamitwa between the years 1989 to 1994 This piece was largely written and researched using oral testimony from nine former members of the MK in N’wamitwa and thus can also be seen as a collection of personal histories of the South African Freedom Struggle. -

Portugal and the EEC Accession: Informal Practices and Arrangements https://www.e-ir.info/2017/05/14/portugal-and-the-eec-accession-informal-practices-and-arrangements/ PEDRO PONTE E SOUSA, MAY 14 2017 In this paper, we explore the role of the informal in the EEC accession (request) of Portugal, and focus primarily (but not exclusively) on the period between the first ideas over full membership of the European Economic Community (EEC) emerged (late 1975 / early 1976) and the official acceptance of candidacy (March 1977), when the European institutions accepted the request of Portugal to negotiate its accession. The justification for such choices is threefold: 1) the role of the formal/informal in the case of Portugal’s accession to the European institutions is severely understudied; the period we chose for this paper is both 2) also understudied in Portuguese foreign policy and diplomacy, and 3) is particularly fit to assess the role of informal contacts (as in a rather short time, Portugal went from being assessed as having possibility of achieving no more than an associate status, to being reckoned as a full member of the organization). Thus, our main research question is the following: How was the acceptance of the EU accession -
