Joola Dynamics Between Senegal and Guinea-Bissau Jordi Tomàs (CEA-ISCTE) Paper Presented at ABORNE Fifth Annual Conference, Lisbon, September 22Th, 2011
THIS IS REALLY A PRELIMINARY DRAFT. NOT FOR CITATION OR CIRCULATION WITHOUT AUTHOR’S PERMISSION, PLEASE An international border or just a territorial limit? Joola dynamics between Senegal and Guinea-Bissau Jordi Tomàs (CEA-ISCTE) Paper presented at ABORNE Fifth Annual Conference, Lisbon, September 22th, 2011. Introduction This paper aims to present an ongoing research about the dynamics of Joola population in the border between Guinea-Bissau and Senegal (more specifically from the Atlantic Ocean to the Niambalang river). We would like to tell you about how Joola Ajamaat (near the main town of Susanna, Guinea-Bissau) and Joola Huluf (near the main town of Oussouye, Senegal) define the border and, especially, how they use this border in their daily lives1. As most borderland regions in the Upper Guinea Coast, this international border separates two areas that have been economically and politically marginalised within their respective national contexts (Senegal and Guinea-Bissau) in colonial and postcolonial times. Moreover, from 1982 –that is, for almost 30 years– this border area has suffered the conflict between the separatist MFDC (Mouvement des Forces Démocratiques de Casamance) and the Senegalese army (and, in the last few years, the Bissau-Guinean army as well). Despite this situation, the links between the population on both sides are still alive, as we will show later on. After a short historical presentation, we would like to focus on three main subjects. First, to show concrete examples of everyday life gathered during our fieldwork. Secondly, to see how the conflict have affected the relationship between the Joola from both sides of 1 This paper has been made possible thanks to a postdoctoral scholarship granted by FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia). -

In 2008 voters approved a referendum on a new constitution, which became effective in October of that year, although many of its provisions continued to be implemented. In April 2009 voters reelected Rafael Correa for his second presidential term and chose members of the National Assembly in elections that were considered generally free and fair. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. The following human rights problems continued: isolated unlawful killings and use of excessive force by security forces, sometimes with impunity; poor prison conditions; arbitrary arrest and detention; corruption and other abuses by security forces; a high number of pretrial detainees; and corruption and denial of due process within the judicial system. President Correa and his administration continued verbal and legal attacks against the independent media. Societal problems continued, including physical aggression against journalists; violence against women; discrimination against women, indigenous persons, Afro-Ecuadorians, and lesbians and gay men; trafficking in persons and sexual exploitation of minors; and child labor. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life The government or its agents did not commit any politically motivated killings; however, there continued to be credible reports that security forces used excessive force and committed isolated unlawful killings. -
Multinational Mining Companies and the Local Political Economy of Violence in Peru
CORPORATE SECURITY GOVERNANCE: MULTINATIONAL MINING COMPANIES AND THE LOCAL POLITICAL ECONOMY OF VIOLENCE IN PERU by JONATHAN KISHEN GAMU A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2016 © Jonathan Kishen Gamu, 2016 ii Abstract Multinational corporations (MNCs) from the global mining industry have become increasingly active in security governance in areas of limited statehood. Since 2000 they have used dialogue and development activities to mitigate security risks associated with their operations. However, despite a proliferation of community engagement initiatives, violent protest in relation to industrial mining has risen globally. Accordingly, I analyze the efficacy of MNCs as security governors within the context of Peru’s mining sector. Over the past fifteen years this country has experienced a dramatic increase in mining- related social conflict, yet industrial mining has had heterogeneous effects locally. Using the subnational comparative method, I examine four cases that exhibit variation in conflict intensity in order to analyze the factors influencing MNCs’ impact on security. I argue that MNCs’ ability to mitigate violent social conflict is best explained using an analytical framework that accounts for the political economy of contention within which firms are embedded, and the intra-firm politics that determine their behaviour vis-à-vis civil society. The political economy of contention exogenous to firms establishes a local security baseline, predicting generic social conflict risks and patterns of violence likely to emerge during specific protest episodes. Given this external milieu, the organizational politics of the firm will determine its marginal effect. -

Livelihood Zone Descriptions
Government of Senegal COMPREHENSIVE FOOD SECURITY AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS (CFSVA) Livelihood Zone Descriptions WFP/FAO/SE-CNSA/CSE/FEWS NET Introduction The WFP, FAO, CSE (Centre de Suivi Ecologique), SE/CNSA (Commissariat National à la Sécurité Alimentaire) and FEWS NET conducted a zoning exercise with the goal of defining zones with fairly homogenous livelihoods in order to better monitor vulnerability and early warning indicators. This exercise led to the development of a Livelihood Zone Map, showing zones within which people share broadly the same pattern of livelihood and means of subsistence. These zones are characterized by the following three factors, which influence household food consumption and are integral to analyzing vulnerability: 1) Geography – natural (topography, altitude, soil, climate, vegetation, waterways, etc.) and infrastructure (roads, railroads, telecommunications, etc.) 2) Production – agricultural, agro-pastoral, pastoral, and cash crop systems, based on local labor, hunter-gatherers, etc. 3) Market access/trade – ability to trade, sell goods and services, and find employment. Key factors include demand, the effectiveness of marketing systems, and the existence of basic infrastructure. Methodology The zoning exercise consisted of three important steps: 1) Document review and compilation of secondary data to constitute a working base and triangulate information 2) Consultations with national-level contacts to draft initial livelihood zone maps and descriptions 3) Consultations with contacts during workshops in each region to revise maps and descriptions. 1. Consolidating secondary data Work with national- and regional-level contacts was facilitated by a document review and compilation of secondary data on aspects of topography, production systems/land use, land and vegetation, and population density. -
Between Latacunga and San Agustin De Callo: Tanicuchi, Six Centuries of Prehispanic Occupation in the Central Highlands of Ecuador
BETWEEN LATACUNGA AND SAN AGUSTIN DE CALLO: TANICUCHI, SIX CENTURIES OF PREHISPANIC OCCUPATION IN THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS OF ECUADOR by Cecilia Josefina Vásquez Pazmiño A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology Northern Arizona University May 2005 Approved: _____________________________ George Gumerman IV, Ph.D., Chair _____________________________ Francis Smiley, Ph.D _____________________________ Miguel Vásquez, Ph.D. _____________________________ Christian Downum, Ph.D. ABSTRACT BETWEEN LATACUNGA AND SAN AGUSTIN DE CALLO: TANICUCHI, SIX CENTURIES OF PREHISPANIC OCCUPATION IN THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS OF ECUADOR CECILIA JOSEFINA VASQUEZ PAZMIÑO The Inkas occupied ancient Ecuador during the 16th century. Monumental architecture such as tambos (inns), fortresses, and towns were strategically located along the royal Inka road. In the Central Ecuadorian highlands, the sites of Latacunga, San Agustín de Callo, and El Salitre remain a prominent testimony of Inka imperialism. Surprisingly, Inka remains were scarce in the archaeological survey at Tanicuchí, between San Agustín de Callo and Latacunga. The systematically aligned survey of Tanicuchí supplied information concerning six centuries of Prehispanic occupation in the area. Surface collection and analysis of material culture defined Tanicuchí’s origins and chronology. Relative dating suggests that initial Tanicuchí occupation began during the Integration Period (A.D. 800-1500), followed by Inka (A.D. 1500-1534) and Early Colonial (A.D. 1534- 1580) periods of conquest. The imposition of Inka and Colonial rules imposed changes on politics, economics, and social relationships reflected in the frequency and distribution of pottery types. A conspicuous sample of Tardío and Cosanga pottery found at Tanicuchí indicates intensive trade and alliances between highland and lowland populations during the Integration Period. -

Mais il est soumis aux fluctuations spatio-temporelles de la pluviométrie observables dans les pays du Sahel. Ces fluctuations de la pluviométrie pèsent sur les systèmes de production vivrière. Cet article a pour objectif d’analyser les impacts potentiels de la variabilité pluviométrique sur la riziculture inondée dans le département d’Oussouye, une activité séculaire qui a un rôle primordial dans la sécurité alimentaire des ménages ruraux. Des données climatiques constituées par les hauteurs de pluie annuelles et les jours pluvieux ainsi que des statistiques agricoles ont été utilisées. L’indice de pluie standardisé, la variation du nombre de jours pluvieux, le test de détection de rupture de Buishand ont permis de caractériser la variabilité pluviométrique. Celle-ci peut être considérée comme un facteur de vulnérabilité alimentaire en raison de l’impact qu’elle peut avoir sur la productivité rizicole.
