THE SPRATLY ISLANDS DISPUTE: DECISION UNITS AND DOMESTIC POLITICS CHRISTOPHER CHUNG A thesis submitted to the University of New South Wales in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2004 DECLARATION I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at UNSW or any other educational institution, except where due acknowledgement is made in the thesis. Any contribution made to the research by colleagues, with whom I have worked at UNSW or elsewhere, during my candidature, is fully acknowledged. I also declare that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work, except to the extent that assistance from others in the project’s design and conception or in style, presentation and linguistic expression is acknowledged. Christopher Chung i ABSTRACT This thesis presents a cross-national, cross-regime examination of foreign policy decision-making in the Spratly Islands dispute, focusing on China, Malaysia and the Philippines. It argues that how and why these countries have acted in particular ways towards the dispute relates to the relationship among foreign policy decision-making, government behaviour and domestic politics. The theoretical foundation of the study is foreign policy analysis. It applies the decision units approach advanced by Margaret and Charles Hermann and Joe Hagan to investigate who made foreign policy decisions on the Spratly Islands dispute in the three countries during the period 1991-2002, and how this influenced government behaviour.

POISONING Coal-Fired Power Plants
Executive Summary The world’s climate is changing. The burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas are creating a world where floods, droughts and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe. The impacts for humans and the environment will be devastating unless we act to halt climate change now. This means ending our dependence for energy from dirty fossil fuels and switching to a clean renewable energy future. However, even though the evidence shows that climate change is happening now and will only get worse if we do not switch BURNING OUR FUTURE: energy paths, large multinationals and The true costs of building coal-fired power plants and the case for renewable energy alternatives governments from the rich, developed countries continue to push their dirty fossil Written and prepared by Red Constantino and Abigail Jabines.

PHILIPPINE CITIZENSHIP, DUAL CITIZENSHIP, and DUAL ALLEGIANCE 47 Every Question Surrounding Dual Citizenship, Dual Allegiance, and the Dual Citizenship Law
PHILIPPINE CITIZENSHIP , DUAL CITIZENSHIP , AND DUAL ALLEGIANCE : AN EVALUATION OF R.A. 9225, THE DUAL CITIZENSHIP LAW JAMES BENEDICT F. PANOPIO * "Philippine citizenship is a gift that must be deserved to be retained. The Philippines, for all her modest resources compared to those of other states, is a jealous and possessive mother demanding total love and loyalty from her children." -Justice Isagani Cruz On August 29,2003, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed into law Republic Act No. 9225, an Act making the Citizenship of Philippine Citizens who acquire Foreign Citizenship permanent. This law is also known as the Citizenship Retention and Re-acquisition Act of 2003 or, simply, the Dual Citizenship law. The said Act is a consolidation of Senate Bill 2130 and House Bill 4720, sponsored by Senate President Franklin Drilon and Representative Oscar Rodriguez, respectively. The Dual Citizenship law also amended the old citizenship law, Commonwealth Act No. 63, which provides that acquisition of foreign citizenship is a ground for the loss of Philippine citizenship. Thus, under R.A. 9225, citizens of the Philippines who become citizens of another country shall be deemed not to have lost their Philippine citizenship under the conditions of the law. 1 This leaves only the following as grounds for one to * '06 Ll.
