Microfilms International300 N INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marking or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Him is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should hot have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from teft to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

Cunningham Lonnie Wagstaff is* William Moore, Jr. Advisor ~ Department of Educational Administration ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thanks to Professor Cunningham, my major advisor, teacher and mentor for the invaluable assistance he pro­ vided by his creative thinking and gentle but firm approach to the dissertation process. Vern was an enduring source oi inspiration throughout the entire experience, and his intellectual input during the conceptualizing phase of the study will long be remembered. Professor William Moore, committee member, for his intellectual contribution, especially in my attempt to develop a set of guidelines which would reflect a balance between theory and practice. Professor Lonnie Wagstaff, committee member, for his intellectual input which proved to be invaluable during the refinement of the methodology of this study. Professor Richard Synder who served as a technical advisor during the early phase of the study. His familiar­ ity with the policy sciences played a major role in whatever success I had in translating the postulates of the late Harold Lasswell into l?nguage that could be understood by lay citizens. ii Thanks are due to the twenty-five resident doctoral students (1978-1979) in the Academic Faculty of Educational Administration at The Ohio State University, and the group of fifteen U.S. and Canadian policy science experts, who took the time to do a critique of the first and second sets of guidelines. Special thanks are also due to the group of twenty-five U.S. and Jamaican educators who participated in the final segment of the study. My sincere thanks to my family for the high degree of involvement and understanding which each one showed throughout the exercise. To my wife, Elaine, my heart felt gratitude for her encouragement and the pace which she set for me by completing her own dissertation in record time. To my two children, Denise and Rohan, who throughout the ordeal, displayed an unusual sense of maturity and patience. To them, I dedicate this dissertation. n• *i 9 VITA August 19. 19^1........

A security guard employed at the First National City Bank, Miller was shot dead on 6 November 1970 in the course of a robbery. Hector and Williams denied any involvement in the crime. An apprentice printer before his arrest, Hector claimed in an unsworn statement at his trial that on the day of the murder he had gone “to the Jones Town post office where he posted some finished lessons for correction,” before heading to a department store to purchase stationery and then on to a library to carry out some research. He also alleged that he was beaten repeatedly by police before signing a “confession” that was written without his input and which he was not permitted to read.

  • The Evolution of Political Violence in Jamaica 1940-1980
    The Evolution of Political Violence in Jamaica 1940-1980 Kareen Felicia Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 Copyright 2011 Kareen Williams All rights reserved. ABSTRACT The Evolution of Political Violence in Jamaica 1940-1980 Kareen Williams By the 1960s violence became institutionalized in modern Jamaican politics. This endemic violence fostered an unstable political environment that developed out of a symbiotic relationship between Jamaican labor organizations and political violence. Consequently, the political process was destabilized by the corrosive influence of partisan politics, whereby party loyalists dependent on political patronage were encouraged by the parties to defend local constituencies and participate in political conflict. Within this system the Jamaican general election process became ominous and violent, exemplifying how limited political patronage was dispersed among loyal party supporters. This dissertation examines the role of the political parties and how they mobilized grassroots supporters through inspirational speeches, partisan ideology, complex political patronage networks, and historic party platform issues from 1940 through 1980. The dissertation argues that the development of Jamaican trade unionism and its corresponding leadership created the political framework out of which Jamaica’s two major political parties, the Jamaica Labor Party (JLP) and People’s National Party

  • Norman Washington Manley the Founding Of
    Norman Washington Manley The Founding Of The People's National Party 1938 - THE TURNING POINT THE YEAR 1938 was a turning point in the history of modern Jamaica. Workers across the island began to demand better wages and working conditions and the colonial government had no choice but to listen. Strikes by the sugar workers of Frome Estate in Westmoreland, by the dockworkers of the Standard Fruit Company in Kingston, by farmworkers in Islington, St. Mary led to mass rallies and public meetings, the likes of which had never been seen on the island, not even the decade before during the height of Garveyism. In that year, workers around the island had recognized as their leader a tall, striking middle-aged man, with a shock of somewhat unruly hair that seemed merely a reflection of his unbridled energy. The leader of these meetings and of the negotiations on behalf of the workers was Alexander Bustamante. His charisma, bravado and sincere belief in the cause of the workers exemplified by his numerous letters to the newspaper and his willingness to be arrested and even shot for the cause, led him to acquire legendary status in his own time. In June 1938, not even a month after his release from being imprisoned for inciting unlawful assembling and obstructing a police inspector, Bustamante began converting the massive public support amongst workers all over the island into Jamaica's first recognized large scale trade union which would carry his name, the Bustamante Industrial and Trademen's Union, BITU. The Movement Towards Political Organization Meanwhile, his cousin, the renowned Oxford-educated Norman Manley from Roxborough, Manchester, who had mounted platforms to speak to workers upset about Bustamante's incarceration and attempted to keep the peace while he negotiated Bustamante's May release from jail, began to speak of the need for a political movement alongside the growing trade union one.

  • Bazala, Razvigor
    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project RAZVIGOR BAZALA Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: July 19, 2011 Copyright 2015 ADST INTRODUCTION The following narrative evolved from six two-hour interviews I had with Charles Stuart Kennedy of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training conducted in the fall of 2011 at its facility on the campus of the National Foreign Affairs Training Center in Arlington, Virginia. PERSONAL BACKGROUND My father Borislav Bazala was born in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1910, the son of a Croatian father and a Bulgarian mother. He passed away more than a century later in 2011. His father, Maximilian, was the youngest of six children in the somewhat rigidly structured home of my great grandfather who specified precisely the careers he intended his four sons to pursue. They were to become a doctor, a military officer, a professor of classical studies, and a Roman Catholic priest; his two daughters were only expected to marry well. Having no interest whatsoever in becoming a priest Max rejected his father’s will, left home and went to Paris where he mastered seven languages. Ultimately, after settling in Bulgaria, he became a professor of linguistics. After he returned to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, Max became involved with an effort to create a federation among south Slavic peoples, a yugo Slavia (‘yugo’ in Serbian and Croatian means south). He had become an adherent of the idea propounded by Roman Catholic Bishop Josef Strossmayer who was a leading politician in late 19th and early 20th century Croatia.

  • Managing and Rehabilitating Riparian Vegetation the Condition and Extent of Native Riparian and Vegetation Along Australia’S Rivers and Streams Varies Greatly
    RPLWRRDC’S RIPARIAN LANDSRP MANAGEMENT NEWSLETTER A COMPONENTia OF THE RIVER RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ANAGING Managing and rehabilitating riparian vegetation The condition and extent of native riparian and vegetation along Australia’s rivers and streams varies greatly. There are extensive areas Mrehabilitating dominated by native riparian vegetation, but there are also large tracts that have been riparian cleared, where the vegetation is fragmented, or where the vegetation has been largely replaced vegetation by introduced species. Where remnant native riparian vegetation occurs in agricultural regions, it is often confined to narrow strips, or is part of ‘bush run’ country used for grazing. Whilst much attention has been given to rehabilitating the badly degraded areas, remnant riparian vegetation has generally been left to look after itself. In many cases, it is gradually being degraded through overgrazing, high fire frequencies and weed invasion. continued page 3 EDITION 14, 1999 CONtents Theme: Managing and rehabilitating riparian vegetation 1 and 3 Case study 1: Natural regeneration of riparian vegetation in Western Australia 8 Case study 2: This publication is managed by Floodplain vegetation in Cooper Creek 11 the Land and Water Resources Getting a Grip: Notes from the field 13 Research and Development Local government focus 14 Corporation (LWRRDC), Case study 3: GPO Box 2182, Canberra Riparian vegetation in Tasmania 15 ACT 2601 Case study 4: Fire management on tropical savannas 18 LWRRDC’s mission is to provide New publication: Riparian Land Management Technical Guidelines 21 national leadership in utilising It’s a Wrap: News from around Australia R&D to improve the long-term 24 productive capacity, sustainable use, management and conservation of Australia’s land, water and vegetation resources.
