Visit our website: www.ilo.org/publns Printed in Thailand In Asia and the Pacific, the year 2003 is a hallmark for promoting the rights of people with disabilities. It begins the second Asia and Pacific Decade of Disabled Persons, 2003 to 2012 and implementation of the Biwako Millennium Framework for Action toward an Inclusive, Barrier-Free and Rights-Based Society. Governments from across the region adopted the framework at a high-level meeting in October 2002. The framework, in turn, will guide regional and national disability policies and activities in several priority areas, including training and employment. While the Decade of Disabled Persons and the development of its implementing framework clearly are major achievements, they also point to the strong need to continue promoting the rights and fostering the in c l u s i o n of people with disabilities in all aspects of community life. The Biwako Millennium Framework for Action calls for, among other things, the passage of International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 159 Concerning Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Disabled Persons), 1983. The current year marks the 20th anniversary of the adoption of that convention by the ILO’s International Labour Conference. Globally, 75 countries, including seven in Asia and the Pacific, have ratified Convention No. 159, which requires countries to develop and implement a national policy on vocational rehabilitation and employment of people with disabilities that is based on equal opportunity for and treatment of disabled workers. One of the primary goals of the ILO is to promote equal opportunities for women and men, including those with disabilities, to obtain decent work. The ILO defines decent work as productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. ILO principles and the Biwako Millennium Framework of Action provide the necessary policy guidance to assist countries in reaching this goal. This publication, Moving Forward: Toward Decent Work for People with Disabilities, is a collection of examples of good practices that brings the ILO’s principles to life. Moving Forward gives a voice to people with disabilities and presents profiles of some of the government, nongovernment and partnership programmes that are paving a path to decent work. The region’s continuing commitment to promote the rights of people with disabilities is remarkable. But, despite the passage of legislation and disability-positive policies in many countries during the past decade, people with disabilities are severely under-represented in the economic mainstream. They remain disproportionately poor, unemployed and excluded. The challenge of the second Asia and Pacific Decade of Disabled Persons will be to continue to transform commitment and policies into action and positive outcomes to reverse today’s realities. We hope that Moving Forward will inspire policymakers, service providers and people with disabilities toward more creative solutions to the challenges people with disabilities face in accessing training and employment. We also hope that it will foster positive change – change that leads to decent work for people with disabilities in a society that is inclusive, barrier-free and rights-based.

  • ABSTRACT CLARK, TIMOTHY P. the Sea Is Empty. Fisheries and the Global Seafood Sector in the Age of Capital. a Socio-Historical A
    ABSTRACT CLARK, TIMOTHY P. The Sea is Empty. Fisheries and the Global Seafood Sector in the Age of Capital. A Socio-Historical Analysis. (Under the Direction of Dr. Stefano Longo). Within the broader sub-discipline of environmental sociology, more scholars have begun to focus on the socioecological dynamics of marine systems, coastal communities, and the seafood industry. Environmental sociologists refer to this waxing scholarship as marine sociology, or an area within environmental sociology that examines non-terrestrial socioecological problems (Longo and Clark 2016; Hannigan 2017). Increased attention towards marine issues and seafood systems is necessary because, for example, the ocean sustains food production, environmental stability, and economic security. Over the course of the 20th century, global fisheries underwent historic change due to substantive human driven withdrawals. Prior to the 20th century, many viewed the ocean as a limitless bounty of resources (Bolster 2012). However, within a period of a few decades following the Second World War, overfishing and biodiversity loss have occurred at levels that now threaten global ocean system stability (Clausen and Clark 2005). Indeed, while not all fish populations are overfished, few are what the United Nations Food and Agriculture Association (FAO) would call under-fished, or fished at a level that signals good prospects for long-term sustainability (FAO 2018). As writer and journalist Anna Badkhen (2018: 3) explains in her account of Senegalese fishers: “Entire trips go by during which the captain stares at the limp arms of his crew. The sea is broken, fishermen say. The sea is empty.” It is likely that Atlantic menhaden fishers across the United States’ Eastern seaboard issued similar frustrations as their catch rates plummeted in the late 19th century and, once-again and more damningly, in the mid-20th century.

Degree awarded June 2017. ii © 2017 Intan Suwandi iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Intan Suwandi Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology June 2017 Title: Back to Production: Labor-Value Commodity Chains and the Imperialist World Economy. Despite the complexities and decentralization that characterize global supply chains in today’s world economy, imperialist relations of exchange continue to prevail, due to the fact that the differences between wages of North and South is greater than the difference of their productivities. This dissertation examines the global exploitation of labor that mostly occurs in the global South, as a form of such imperialist relations, particularly under the domination of multinational firms emanating primarily from the core of the system. I start by laying out the theoretical and empirical groundwork for the labor-value commodity chains framework that puts labor, along with the question of control and class, at the center of its formulation.

  • Regime Change and Ethnic Politics in Indonesia Politics with Strong Ethnic Content Emerged Across the Country
    When the Indonesian New Order regime fell in 1998, regional change and ethnic politics in Indonesia Regime politics with strong ethnic content emerged across the country. In West Kalimantan the predominant feature was particularly that of the Dayaks. This surge, however, was not Regime change unprecedented. After centuries of occupying a subordinate place in the political and social hierarchy under the nominal rule of the Malay sultanates, Dayaks became involved in an and ethnic politics enthusiastic political emancipation movement from 1945. The Dayaks secured the governorship as well as the majority of the regional executive head positions before they were in Indonesia shunned by the New Order regime. This book examines the development of Dayak politics in Dayak politics of West Kalimantan West Kalimantan from the colonial times until the first dec- ade of the 21th century. It asks how and why Dayak politics has experienced drastic changes since 1945.

It will also examine ethnic relations and recent political development up to 2010 in the province. Dr Taufiq Tanasaldy is a lecturer in Asian Studies and Indo- nesian language.
