DOI: 15 Sustainable Violence: Mass Resettlement, Strategic Villages, and Militias in Anti-Guerrilla Warfare CHRISTIAN GERLACH Introduction The story told in this essay begins around 1950, about at the end of what some call the 'racial century'. 1 In scholarly discussion anti-partisan warfare has been relatively neglected, although it accounted for a large proportion of the victims of mass violence in the twentieth century.2 Many of these victims resulted from resettlement, removal, and expulsion. Yet the events covered here have hardly played a part in debates about enforced popu- lation movements during the past decade or two, given that mass transfers of populations have increasingly been declared 'ethnic' in the course of what amounts to an ethnization of history due to post-1989 bourgeois triumphalism.

Framework The German Federal Government has exclusive legislative authority in foreign affairs (Art. 73 no. 1 of the German Basic Law). The Foreign Service consists of the Foreign Office (headquarters) and the foreign missions, which together constitute one unitary, federal supreme authority (oberste Bundesbehörde). The tasks and organisation, as well as the legal status of members of the Foreign Service, are set down in the Foreign Service Act (FSA) of 30 August 1990 [Federal Law Gazette I 2002, p.1842], as amended by the First Act Amending the Foreign Service Act of 20 June 2002 [Federal Law Gazette I 2002, p. 2001 (attached)]. The Foreign Office headquarters steers the work of the foreign missions, assesses their reports and analyses, and on this basis draws up foreign policy blueprints for government policy. Headquarters also co-ordinates the foreign policy activities of other ministries and the federal states (Bundesländer) to ensure a uniform approach to German foreign policy and security policy. The Foreign Office consists of 11 departments and four regional political directorates, which in turn comprise divisions focusing on specific policy areas or geographical regions. Their analyses serve to prepare decisions at management level. The directorates-general and political directorates are: - Central Services: personnel

    Advancing Strategic Stability in the Euro-Atlantic Region 2021 and Beyond

    June 2021 STATEMENT BY THE EURO-ATLANTIC SECURITY LEADERSHIP GROUP (EASLG) Prepared for Presidents, Prime Ministers, Parliamentarians, and Publics Advancing Strategic Stability in the Euro-Atlantic Region 2021 and Beyond n one of the best accounts of the lead-up to World War I, the historian Christopher Clark details how a group of European leaders—“The Sleepwalkers”—led their nations into a conflict that none of them wanted. Gripped by nationalism and ensnared by competing interests, mutual mistrust, and Ialliances, they made a series of tragic miscalculations that resulted in 40 million casualties. One of the more sobering aspects of this period was the speed with which events transpired in the summer of 1914, following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, in Sarajevo on June 28. The subsequent ultimatums, mobilizations, declarations of war, and finally, war itself unfolded in roughly one month. Leaders of that era found themselves with precious little time for considering their decisions—and the world paid a horrific price. In the Euro-Atlantic region today, leaders face risks of deployments that should cause leaders to reflect on the miscalculation, compounded by the potential for the use of adequacy of the decision time available to them to prevent nuclear weapons, where millions could be killed in minutes. or deescalate a crisis. Emerging technologies such as evasive Do we have the tools to prevent an incident from turning hypersonic missiles or robotic nuclear torpedoes could into unimaginable catastrophe? significantly compress decision-time. When combined with artificial intelligence including machine learning, humans While leaders, governments and publics are strained by may be removed from being “in” or “on” the decision- the developing and constantly changing challenge of the making loop, especially when responding to a perceived or COVID-19 pandemic, there is a growing risk of—and a real attack.

    KENYA ELECTION HISTORY 1963-2013 1963 Kenya Election History 1963 1963: THE PRE-INDEPENDENCE ELECTIONS These were the last elections in pre-independent Kenya and the key players were two political parties, KANU and KADU. KADU drew its support from smaller, less urbanized communities hence advocated majimboism (regionalism) as a means of protecting them. KANU had been forced to accept KADU’s proposal to incorporate a majimbo system of government after being pressured by the British government. Though KANU agreed to majimbo, it vowed to undo it after gaining political power. The majimbo constitution that was introduced in 1962 provided for a two-chamber national legislature consisting of an upper (Senate) and lower (House of Representative). The Campaign KADU allied with the African People’s Party (APP) in the campaign. KANU and APP agreed not to field candidates in seats where the other stood a better chance. The Voting Elections were marked by high voter turnout and were held in three phases. They were widely boycotted in the North Eastern Province. Violence was reported in various parts of the country; four were killed in Isiolo, teargas used in Nyanza and Nakuru, clashes between supporters in Machakos, Mombasa, Nairobi and Kitale. In the House of Representative KANU won 66 seats out of 112 and gained working majority from 4 independents and 3 from NPUA, KADU took 47 seats and APP won 8. In the Senate KANU won 19 out 38 seats while KADU won 16 seats, APP won 2 and NPUA only 1. REFERENCE: NATIONAL ELECTIONS DATA BOOK By Institute for Education in Democracy (published in 1997).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

    Health and Ageing in Nairobi's Informal Settlements-Evidence From

    Wilunda et al. BMC Public Health (2015) 15:1231 DOI 10.1186/s12889-015-2556-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Health and ageing in Nairobi’s informal settlements-evidence from the International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Populations and Their Health (INDEPTH): a cross sectional study Boniface Wilunda1*, Nawi Ng2,3 and Jennifer Stewart Williams2 Abstract Background: Much of the focus on population ageing has been in high-income counties. Relatively less attention is given to the world’s poorest region, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where children and adolescents still comprise a high proportion of the population. Yet the number of adults aged 60-plus in SSA is already twice that in northern Europe. In addition, SSA is experiencing massive rural to urban migration with consequent expansion of informal urban settlements, or slums, whose health problems are usually unrecognised and not addressed. This study aims to improve understanding of functional health and well-being in older adult slum-dwellers in Nairobi (Kenya). Methods: The study sample comprised men and women, aged 50 years and over, living in Korogocho and Viwandani, Nairobi, Kenya (n = 1,878). Data from the International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Populations and Their Health (INDEPTH) and the WHO Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE Wave 1) were analysed. The prevalence of poor self-reported quality of life (QoL) and difficulties in domain-specific function is estimated by age and sex. Logistic regression investigates associations between difficulties in the domains of function and poor QoL, adjusting for age, sex and socio-demographic factors.

The focus throughout is on both the thinking and the politics of what can be termed "the 1965 Indonesia policy group."2 That unofficial group was the informal constellation of US officials both in Indonesia (in the Embassy-based country team)3 and in Washington (in the *This article has enjoyed a long, troubled odyssey. Growing out of intermittent research on American-Indonesian relations dating back to my doctoral dissertation field research in Jakarta in 1963-1965, the substance of the article, including its primary conclusions, was presented in papers at the August 1979 Indonesian Studies Con­ ference in Berkeley and the March 1980 International Studies Association Conference in Los Angeles. I am in­ debted to the American Philosophical Society, the Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation, and the Vassar College Faculty Research Committee for grants in 1976-1979 which facilitated the brunt of the archival and interview re­ search undergirding the article.
