  • Caritas Australia’S Humanitarian Program Coordinator for Asia Is Available for Interview from Sydney
    MEDIA RELEASE: New emergency measures in Indonesia put most vulnerable at risk 6 July 2021 Indonesian President Joko Widodo has recently announced new emergency measures to contain the latest COVID-19 surge in the country. The populous South-East Asian nation has been reporting an average of more than 20,000 infections daily for the past week, as more infectious virus variants spread in the community and put the hospital system under strain. The measures apply only to Java and Bali, and include tighter restrictions on movement and air travel, a ban on dining in restaurants and the closure of all non-essential offices. The new emergency measures aim to reduce the pressure on a hospital system that has been pushed to the brink. Currently, 93 per cent of beds in Jakarta’s hospitals are occupied, and some emergency wards have been forced to set up tents in car parks to make space. “These new emergency measures will help reduce the spread of the virus, but we’re concerned about the impact on vulnerable communities who don’t have the means to feed themselves and their families during this health crisis,” said Fr. Fredy Rante Taruk, Director of Caritas Indonesia (KARINA). “This massive surge in cases over the past week may show that Indonesia is on the knife’s edge of a devastating health crisis, but when measures like this are in place people like street hawkers and vendors, farmers, day labourers, and drivers may suffer, because it’s harder for them to make ends meet.” “We’re finding that not only are some people losing their employment completely, but even those who are able to continue their work in rural areas, like farmers, are struggling to find people to buy their produce, so they’re also struggling to meet their basic needs.” “We’re working with local communities and the Church network to support marginalized communities to maintain their food supplies and make an income during this crisis.

  • Lessons Learned in Outback Western Australia
    Lessons learned in outback Western Australia Andrew Marshall Research, Bureau of Meteorology Introduction The Northern Australia Climate Program (NACP) is a partnership between the Queensland Government (with funding from the Drought and Climate Adaptation Program), Meat and Livestock Australia, and the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) to bring together expert climate scientists, advisors, and regional producers to deliver innovative research, development, and extension outcomes for helping the grazing industry manage drought and climate risk across northern Australia. In the last week of May 2021, I was fortunate to represent the Bureau's involvement in the research component of the project with a climate roadshow to the Gascoyne and Pilbara shires of outback Western Australia (Figure 1). The focus of the trip was to help producers find, understand, and use forecasting information through the dissemination of weather and climate knowledge relevant to their specific region. Figure 1: The Gascoyne (left) and Pilbara (right) regions of Western Australia (source: en.wikipedia.org). My role was to discuss important climate drivers and their impacts through a series of workshops held at outback stations, to enable producers to make more informed assessments of seasonal climate forecasts. Reciprocally, participants provided practical advice and feedback for improving the Bureau's delivery of forecast information for these arid regions. Alongside me were Dr Chelsea Jarvis from USQ, and two 'Climate Mates' employed by the program to liaise with pastoralists – Alys McKeough for the first half of the trip to Wyloo, and Jardine Macdonald for the second half. They organised a detailed and exciting roadshow comprising ten station visits over eight days, totalling more than 2,000 km and 27 hours of driving (Figure 2).

  • Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy
    Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy How do democracies form and what makes them die? Daniel Ziblatt revisits this timely and classic question in a wide-ranging historical narrative that traces the evolution of modern political democracy in Europe from its modest beginnings in 1830s Britain to Adolf Hitler’s 1933 seizure of power in Weimar Germany. Based on rich historical and quantitative evidence, the book offers a major reinterpretation of European history and the question of how stable political democracy is achieved. The barriers to inclusive political rule, Ziblatt finds, were not inevitably overcome by unstoppable tides of socioeconomic change, a simple triumph of a growing middle class, or even by working class collective action. Instead, political democracy’s fate surprisingly hinged on how conservative political parties – the historical defenders of power, wealth, and privilege – recast themselves and coped with the rise of their own radical right. With striking modern parallels, the book has vital implications for today’s new and old democracies under siege. Daniel Ziblatt is Professor of Government at Harvard University where he is also a resident fellow of the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies. He is also currently Fernand Braudel Senior Fellow at the European University Institute. His first book, Structuring the State: The Formation of Italy and Germany and the Puzzle of Federalism (2006) received several prizes from the American Political Science Association. He has written extensively on the emergence of democracy in European political history, publishing in journals such as American Political Science Review, Journal of Economic History, and World Politics.

    PATHS TO SUCCESS, PATHS TO FAILURE: HISTORICAL TRAJECTORIES TO DEMOCRATIC STABILITY By ADAM BILINSKI A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2015 1 © 2015 Adam Bilinski 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout the work on this project, I received enormous help from a number of people. The indispensable assistance was provided by my advisor Michael Bernhard, who encouraged me to work on the project since I arrived at the University of Florida. He gave me valuable and timely feedback, and his wide knowledge of the European political history and research methods proved irreplaceable in this regard. He is otherwise a warm, humble and an understanding person, a scholar who does not mind and even appreciates when a graduate student is critical toward his own ideas, which is a feature whose value cannot be overestimated. I received also valuable assistance from members of my dissertation committee: Benjamin Smith, Leonardo A. Villalon, Beth Rosenson and Chris Gibson. In particular, Ben Smith taught me in an accessible way about the foundational works in Political Science, which served as an inspiration to write this dissertation, while Chris Gibson offered very useful feedback on quantitative research methods. In addition, I received enormous help from two scholars at the University of Chicago, where this research project passed through an adolescent stage. Dan Slater, my advisor, and Alberto Simpser helped me transform my incoherent hypotheses developed in Poland into a readable master’s thesis, which I completed in 2007.

  • The Centrum Party's Influence in German Affairs. the Future Contest
    180 THE OPEN COURT. THE CENTRUM PARTY'S INFLUENCE IN GER- MAN AFFAIRS. THE FUTURE CONTEST BETWEEN CLERICALISM AND SOCIALISM. BY EDWARD T. HEYN. Former American Vice-Consul. IT is greatly surprising that, although thousands and thousands of articles on German political conditions have appeared in America since the world war, but little has been said of the stupendous in- fluence of the powerful Centrum or Clerical Party. That the Cen- trum however is an important factor to-day in Germany was fully demonstrated a few months ago when Count von Hertling, a decided ultramontane and former Centrum leader was appointed German Chancellor. Hertling's present, somewhat lukewarm support of the important bill for the reform of the Prussian franchise, as well as the decided opposition to the same measure by a large faction of the Centrum in the Prussian Diet, is abundant proof that the party is not very much in favor of a very radical democratization of German political institutions. The Centrum Party or Center, why so called ? It was so named because its members occupy seats in the center of the German Parliament. Considered politically, the name "Center" admirably characterizes its tendencies, for during its entire history the party has taken an attitude midway between that of the Conservatives and the radical parties of the Left. On many questions, in fact, this party throughout its history has been unstable, assuming a character at times very conservative, while under other conditions it has displayed democratic and very popular tendencies. Does the Center Party deserve the name "Clerical." so em- phatically repudiated by its followers? Let it be said, that before the war there were 23,821,453 Roman Catholics in Germany (as against 39,991,421 Protestants), the majority of which belonged to the "Centrum," "the only party," in the words of the now frequently mentioned Dr.
