It is not the case that there is a causative maha- prefix and an abilitive maha­ prefix. There i5, in fact, ooly one prefix which is bath causative and abilitive. The apparent difference in meaning arises because of a difference in the emphasis placed on what l shall suggest are the two components of this prefix: stativity and causation. Whether maha- receives an abilitive or a causative reading depends on whether it attaches to what l term an "eventive" root or a "non­ eventive" root. In the former case, it receives an abilitive reading, in the latter case, a causative reading. RESUME Cette th~se pr~sente une explication aux deux sens que poss~de le préfixe maha- en malgache: un sens causatif et un sens abilitif. Contrairement a l'idée qu'il y a deux préfixes (un pr~fixe causatif et un pr~fixe abilitif), il est montré que le préfixe maha- est ~ la fois causatif et abilitif. Les deux sens du pr~fixe maba- sont les résultats d'une insistance sur un des deux aspects différents du préfixe: la cause et l'état. Le sens du préfixe maba­ depend de la racine à laquelle maha- s'attache; une racine "eventive" (qui porte des arguments) donne le sens abilitif, alors qu'une racine "oon-eventive" (qui n'a pas d'argument) procure le sens causatif. ( & This thesis came about because l happened to bump into Lisa Travis one morning in the washroom of the linquistics department (a genesis which 1 quite like since it qives the subsequent years a certain frivality). From her invitation, 1 began my studies of the Malagasy language which have culminated in the thesis which you now hold in your hands. It is ta her that l owe my greatest thanks. Her encouragement, guidance and enthusiasm were invaluable to me and ta the completion of this thesis. My gratitude to her, however, extends beyand mere linquistic concerns; 1 must aiso warmly thank her for her generosity and kindness that she has shown me at various times throughout the past years. It has not only been Iinguistically very enriching, but aiso a very human experience ta have worked with her. Aussi beaucoup ~liqué dans ce memoire sont mes consultants malgaches, qui malgr~ leur titre formel, sont devenus mes amis. Ils sont: Cecile Manarohanta, Julie Rabemananjara, Philemon Rakotomamonjy et Michelle Ratovonony. Sans leur collaboration et leur patience cette thèse n'existerait pas et je leur en remercie infiniment. Hisaotra!

A silver-red Boeing 707 from New York landed at London airport. A crowd of press reporters, newsreel-cameramen and others milled around, filled with excitement. Mr 'Finber Kenny climbed out with the 'One-Cent' British Guiana stamp. This 'one-cent' stamp had been insured at £200,000 (Rs 46,00,(00) and was specially brought by a 'bodyguard' for display at the Stanley Gibbons Catalogue Centenary Exhibition in London, Next morning that priceless piece of paper was the topic of the day. All the papers carried headlines on it and the BBC did a special programme with a close-up of the stamp. What was so remarkable about a scrap of old black-and-magenta paper? The story of this stamp is very interesting. In earlier days the stamps of British Guiana were printed by a British printer, Waterlow &' .Sons. In 1856, the stock of stamps was exhausted but a fresh supply had failed to arrive. So the postmaster hurriedly had 4-cent stamps printed locally using the existing design, the seal of. the colony­ a ship and the motto 'Damus Petimusque Vicis sim' (We give and we seek in turn).

In examining the wider logic of French imperial expansion around the Mediterranean, this dissertation bridges the Revolutionary, Napoleonic, Restoration (1815-30), July Monarchy (1830-48), Second Republic (1848-52), and Second Empire (1852-70) periods. Moreover, this study represents the first comprehensive study of interactions between imperial officers and local actors around the Mediterranean.

New York: Columbia University Press, 2020. xiii + 321 pp. Illustrations, notes, and index. $35.00 U.S. (cl). ISBN 978-0-23-119510-2; $26.00 U.S. (pb). ISBN 978-0-23-119511-9. Review by Jean Elisabeth Pedersen, Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester. Mona L. Siegel’s Peace on Our Terms: The Global Battle for Women’s Rights after the First World War offers an insightful and engaging combination of history and biography that sheds new light on the history of the First World War, the history of France and its relationship with the world, and the transnational history of women and women’s movements. Where Margaret MacMillan’s Paris 1919 focused on the work of the men who came to Paris from around the world to participate in the peace conference that ended the First World War, Siegel’s new Peace on Our Terms highlights the contributions of female activists who lobbied diplomats for women’s equality in Paris, fought for national independence and women’s rights in Cairo and Beijing, represented demands for racial equality at a key Pan-African conference in Paris and a key women’s peace conference in Zurich, and fought for better conditions for working women at two important labor conferences in Washington, DC, all in the same single momentous year of 1919.[1] Where historians of women and their international activism have often focused their attention on the study of women’s networks or women’s organizations, Siegel’s book takes a more biographical approach by highlighting the interconnected international activities of a series of especially interesting and important individual women as a way of studying the contributions of women from around the globe.[2] Siegel’s prologue, six chapters, and epilogue each focus on a different set of world locations and highlight the work of activists from a different combination of countries.

  • ICRP Calendar
    The notions of International Relations (IR) in capital letters and international relations (ir) in lowercase letters have two different meanings. The first refers to a scholarly discipline while the second one means a set of contemporary events with historical importance, which influences global-politics. In order to make observations, formulate theories and describe patterns within the framework of ‘IR’, one needs to fully comprehend specific events related to ‘ir’. It is why the Institute for Cultural Relations Policy (ICRP) believes that a timeline on which all the significant events of international relations are identified might be beneficial for students, scholars or professors who deal with International Relations. In the following document all the momentous wars, treaties, pacts and other happenings are enlisted with a monthly division, which had considerable impact on world-politics. January 1800 | Nationalisation of the Dutch East Indies The Dutch East Indies was a Dutch colony that became modern Indonesia following World War II. It was formed 01 from the nationalised colonies of the Dutch East India Company, which came under the administration of the Dutch government in 1800. 1801 | Establishment of the United Kingdom On 1 January 1801, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland united to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Most of Ireland left the union as the Irish Free State in 1922, leading to the remaining state being renamed as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1927. 1804 | Haiti independence declared The independence of Haiti was recognized by France on 17 April 1825.

Ostermann, Leopoldo Nuti and Evan Pikulski, Series Editors This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the Nuclear Proliferation International History Project. The Nuclear Proliferation International History Project (NPIHP) is a global network of individuals and institutions engaged in the study of international nuclear history through archival documents, oral history interviews and other empirical sources. Recognizing that today’s toughest nuclear challenges have deep roots in the past, NPIHP seeks to transcend the East vs. West paradigm to work towards an integrated international history of nuclear weapon proliferation. The continued proliferation of nuclear weapons is one of the most pressing security issues of our time, yet the empirically-based study of international nuclear history remains in its infancy. NPIHP’s programs to address this central issue include: the annual Nuclear Boot Camp for M.A. and Ph.D. candidates to foster a new generation of experts on the international history of nuclear weapons; the NPIHP Fellowship Program for advanced Ph.D. students and post-doctoral researchers hosted by NPIHP partner institutions around the world; a coordinated, global research effort which combines archival mining and oral history interviews conducted by NPIHP partners; a massive translation and digitization project aimed at making documentary evidence on international nuclear history broadly accessible online; a series of conferences, workshops and seminars hosted by NPIHP partners around the world.
