  • Women As Role Models in Peace Efforts By
    Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Qualities - Women as Role Models in Peace Efforts by Quek Geok Cheng University Women Association of Singapore, 2006 Abstract This paper is based on a selected range of literature review on the role played by women in peace efforts. Specific role models of women peace laureates and general references of other women’s contributions and efforts in peace efforts are discussed to flesh out the innate common qualities of these remarkable women, qualities that predispose them to be natural peace advocates and envoys. Awareness of such qualities serve as passion enablers for every woman to emulate on the road to peace. In short, to quote Professor Francis Sejersted, of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee: “In the good fight for peace and reconciliation, we are dependent on persons who set examples, persons who can symbolize what we are seeking and mobilize the best in us.” “If there is peace in a country or in the world, there are no wars or violent conflicts going on” – that is how a dictionary defines peace. This, essentially, is saying that when there is an absence of war or hostilities, then peace prevails. However, rather than seeing peace from the negative perspective of “not war”, most cultures of Cameroon, Somali and the Burundi equate peace with the positive perspective of ‘freshness’, health, well being, harmony, calm and tranquility.1 Based on this African concept, peace is equated with freshness and harmony which provided farmers with good crops, fishermen with abundant catches and hunters with game. 1 Role of Women in Peace Building and Conflict Resolution in African Traditional Societies: A Selective Review by Miriam Agatha Chinwe Nwoye.

  • The Rise of Economic Nationalism, the Case of Norway, 1814-1940
    Pål Thonstad Sandvik, Work in progress EBHA 2011, SESSION 21: ECONOMIC NATIONALISM AND BUSINESS IN SMALL COUNTRIES THE RISE OF ECONOMIC NATIONALISM, THE CASE OF NORWAY, 1814-1940 Nationalism and modern capitalism emerged at roughly the same time. There is a vast literature on both subjects, but little research linking them. Few economic and business historians have paid much attention to economic nationalism. Similarly, scholars working on nationalism have seldom focused on its economic and business content. Yet nationalism has often had a crucial impact on the economic development of countries and on business life. There are several reasons why economic nationalism hasn‟t been more thoroughly explored. For Marxists, nationalism (and economic nationalism) is simply a cover or a distraction, for the real plot of history is about the development of productive forces and class conflicts. Furthermore, during the era of globalization, many observers have regarded economic nationalism as a relic, which can only hinder world trade and development. The economist Harry G. Johnson summed up this latter viewpoint very clearly when he claimed a bit dismissingly that countries – by following economic nationalism – attained “psychological income” at “the expense of material income.”1 This paper approaches the subject economic nationalism from a different angle. Firstly: It is based on the firm belief that nationalism is a part of the main “plot of history”, perhaps especially so in many late developed, peripheral countries. Secondly: What Johnson calls psychological income may in fact help generate material income, or at least influence how this income is generated, not just destroy it. Economic nationalism may – as nationalism itself – be utterly destructive or benign.
