The initiative called on “competing members of the ruling family and other leading figures” to stop interfering in the election through “political money” and other means that could influence the outcome of the parliamentary polls, allowing them to ensure the success of their “candidates” in the election. The initiative did not provide further details, but there have been increasing accusations that some influential fig- ures, in a bid to influence the outcome of the polls to serve their interests, have pumped millions of dinars into the process. Allegations of vote-buying and other forms of bribery and corruption have been repeatedly made, but very few people have been sent to court over such claims. The group consists of 20 personalities representing vari- ous political schools of thought and includes people like for- mer justice minister and deputy speaker Meshari Al-Anjari, veteran politician and former minister Yousef Al-Nasef, for- mer minister and MP Abdulwahab Al-Haroun, former minis- ter Abdulwahab Al-Wazzan and several other dignitaries.

Pedro Mendes Loureiro, University Lecturer at the Centre of Latin American Studies and the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge, and Fellow of Fitzwilliam College. Abigail McKnight (project manager and lead research- er), Associate Professorial Research Fellow and Director of the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion at the London School of Economics and Political Science INEQUALITY POLICY MIX TOOLKIT – 1. Introduction 3 1. INTRODUCTION This policy review is part of the Inequality Policy Mix Toolkit (IPMT), which has been designed to help users de- velop an informed policy approach to tackling inequalities in low- and middle-income countries. It draws on the Multidi- mensional Inequality Framework (MIF), which is grounded in Amartya Sen’s capability approach and identifies inequal- ities regarding people’s capability to live a good life, one they have reason to value and would choose for themselves (McKnight et al., 2019). Seven key life domains and existing inequalities within these domains are identified by the MIF. This multidimensional approach was used to identify a series of inequality-reduction policies which address key quali- ty-of-life inequalities. In the toolkit, policies are organised according to the seven domains of the MIF and the Sustain- able Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. In total, the IPMT contains 16 inequality-reduction policies (see next page; clearly this pragmatic list of policies is not exhaustive).

  • Modelling and Control of Switched Reluctance Machines
    Edited by Rui Esteves Araújo and José Roberto Camacho Modelling and Control Switched of Reluctance Machines Modelling and Control Today, switched reluctance machines (SRMs) play an increasingly important role in various sectors due to advantages such as robustness, simplicity of construction, low cost, of Switched Reluctance insensitivity to high temperatures, and high fault tolerance. They are frequently used in fields such as aeronautics, electric and hybrid vehicles, and wind power generation. This Machines book is a comprehensive resource on the design, modeling, and control of SRMs with methods that demonstrate their good performance as motors and generators.
