1 Introduction Notes 1 Introduction 1. UN initially used the term ‘peace-building’ in Secretary General Boutros-Ghali’s Agenda for Peace, but not for its ‘Peacebuilding’ Commission. 2. Oliver P. Richmond, Maintaining Order, Making Peace (Houndmills, Basingstoke, UK: Palgrave Macmillan, 2002); The Transformation of Peace: Peace As Governance in Contemporary Conflict Endings (Houndmills, Basingstoke, UK: Palgrave Macmillan, 2006). 3. Such as the role of prominent personalities, such as Graca Machel, the wife of former South African President Nelson Mandela, in Burundi and Kenya; Jimmy Carter in North Korea, Nicaragua, Liberia, and elsewhere, and many special rep- resentatives of the UN, such as the former Finish President and 2008 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Martti Ahtisaari in Namibia and Kosovo, to mediate in particular conflicts. See Ann Kelleher and James Larry Taulbee, “Building Peace Norwegian Style: Studies in Track I ½ Diplomacy,” in Oliver P. Richmond and Henry F. Carey (eds.) Subcontracting Peace: The Challenges of NGO Peacebuilding (Burlington: Ashgate Publishing Company, 2005), pp. 77–78. 4. The distinction between Track I and II was originally developed by Joseph Montville, 1982, followed by the first book on Track II Diplomacy by John W. McDonald. For a summary of a dozen relevant definitions, see, for example, “Commonly Used Terms,” Search for Common Ground, available at: www.sfcg. org/resources/resources_terms.html 5. Louise Diamond and John W. McDonald developed the concept of multitrack diplomacy and established the Institute for Multi-Track Diplomacy. See their Multi-Track Diplomacy: A Systems Approach to Peace (West Hartford, CT: Kumarian Press, 1996, third ed.). For a website on one of the first modern examples of multitrack diplomacy, the case of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty of 1905 between Russia and Japan, mediated by Theodore Roosevelt, with involvement of the citi- zens and organizations of Portsmouth, see: www.portsmouthpeacetreaty.org 6.

The most extreme version of this view is offensive realism, which finds little basis for cooperation in a world of unbalanced multi-polarity, per Mersheimer, The Tragedy of Great Power Politics. 19. Catherine Barnes distinguishes between three types of NGOs (a) sectoral, (b) general structural reform, and (c) specific conflict resolution. Catherine Barnes, “Weaving the Web: Civil-Society Roles in Working with Conflict and Building Peace,” in Paul van Tongeran, Malin Brenk, Marte Hellema and Juliette Verhoeven (eds.), People Building Peace II (Boulder, CO: Lynne Reinner, 2005), pp. 12–13. 20. One estimate counts the number of international NGOs at 38,000, available at: www.uia.org/homeorg.htm. 21. Common abbreviations are NGOs (nongovernmental organizations), INGOs (international nongovernmental organizations), and IGOs (intergovernmental organizations). 22. See the book of a chief whistleblower, the former chief spokesman for Cigna and previously Humana, Wendell Potter, Dangerous Spin: An Insurance Company Insider Speaks Out on How Corporate PR is Killing Health Care and Deceiving Americans (New York: Bloomsbury Press, 2010). Such fake “Astro Turf” NGOs, set up by public rela- tions firms with millions of dollars, are created to lobby and make political attacks, such as Health Care America, which consisted of just two people, a role, Sarah Burke and a media spokesman, Bill Pierce. Abco Worldwide was the NGO cre- ated by the Washington, DC, “super law firm” Arnold and Porter, which defended tobacco companies. The NGO Health Care America, which claimed to represent consumers, was never exposed by the press as a previously non-existent front for the insurance industry with just a few members. No press account exposed the true nature of the NGO, which was particularly effective creation of a public-re- lations firm, which also employed a pollster to track reactions to the movie Sicko. A June 2007 article in The New York Times, describing the movie’s premier release, quoted Pierce as stating that the movie represented a move toward socialism. Bill Macinturf, the pollster for this campaign and later for John McCain, convinced the U.S. public to move away from its preference for greater government regulation of health care. Health Care America also hired a private investigator to obtain per- sonally embarrassing details on the film’s director, Michael Moore, which proved unnecessary because Health Care America’s advertisements and statement con- vinced the U.S. public that a single-payer option or universal care amounted to socialism and that Michael Moore was a socialist. The single-payer option was not part of the health insurance reforms enacted in 2010. A similar PR campaign, 236 Notes featuring television advertisements with Harry and Louise, helped to terminate the Clinton Administration’s 1993 universal health care proposal. 23. For examples of studies based on subjective analyses, such as the AI reports, see Robert H. Howard and Henry F. Carey, “Courts and Political Freedom: A Measure of Judicial Independence,” Judicature, Vol. 87, no. 6 (May–June 2004), pp. 1–10; Steven C. Poe and C.

  • Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents
    Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents A Mini-Guide by John Kremer Copyright © 2011 by John Kremer All rights reserved. Open Horizons P. O. Box 2887 Taos NM 87571 575-751-3398 Fax: 575-751-3100 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.bookmarket.com Introduction Below are the names and contact information for more than 1,450+ literary agents who sell rights for books. For additional lists, see the end of this report. The agents highlighted with a bigger indent are known to work with self-publishers or publishers in helping them to sell subsidiary, film, foreign, and reprint rights for books. All 325+ foreign literary agents (highlighted in bold green) listed here are known to work with one or more independent publishers or authors in selling foreign rights. Some of the major literary agencies are highlighted in bold red. To locate the 260 agents that deal with first-time novelists, look for the agents highlighted with bigger type. You can also locate them by searching for: “first novel” by using the search function in your web browser or word processing program. Unknown author Jennifer Weiner was turned down by 23 agents before finding one who thought a novel about a plus-size heroine would sell. Her book, Good in Bed, became a bestseller. The lesson? Don't take 23 agents word for it. Find the 24th that believes in you and your book. When querying agents, be selective. Don't send to everyone. Send to those that really look like they might be interested in what you have to offer.

  • January 2021
    TV & RADIO LISTINGS GUIDE JANUARY 2021 PRIMETIME For more information go to witf.org/tv Last month we presented an encore of Sanditon. There is not a new season to • share with you this month, which reminds me of a call I • took from a viewer recently. The viewer was disappointed by the news that recent series on Masterpiece would not be returning for a second season, with Beecham House being another example of this scenario. PBS and Masterpiece sign on to series in development early on. This mostly out of necessity because of the highly competi- tive market to acquire quality dramas and mysteries. In most cases, these series premiere across the pond ahead of the planned broadcast here. This month on Masterpiece we welcome a remake. All Creatures Great and Small begins January 10. The series is based on the books of James Alfred Wight, published under the pen name James Herriot. This is not the first JAN. 10 • 9pm adaptation that has broadcast on WITF. All Creatures Great and Small was adapted for television in the 1970s series on January 25 at 9:00pm with a at 1:00pm beginning January 10. You will and quickly became a favorite.

  • THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg
    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg Shiny little platters. Not even five inches across. How could they possibly contain the soundtrack of four decades? How could the phone calls, the encounters, the danger, the desperation, the exhilaration and big, big laughs from two score years be compressed onto a handful of CDs? If you’ve lived with NPR, as so many of us have for so many years, you’ll be astonished at how many of these reports and conversations and reveries you remember—or how many come back to you (like familiar songs) after hearing just a few seconds of sound. And you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve missed—loyal as you are, you were too busy that day, or too distracted, or out of town, or giving birth (guess that falls under the “too distracted” category). Many of you have integrated NPR into your daily lives; you feel personally connected with it. NPR has gotten you through some fairly dramatic moments. Not just important historical events, but personal moments as well. I’ve been told that a woman’s terror during a CAT scan was tamed by the voice of Ira Flatow on Science Friday being piped into the dreaded scanner tube. So much of life is here. War, from the horrors of Vietnam to the brutalities that evanescent medium—they came to life, then disappeared. Now, of Iraq. Politics, from the intrigue of Watergate to the drama of the Anita on these CDs, all the extraordinary people and places and sounds Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy.

  • Black, Poor, and Gone: Civil Rights Law's Inner-City Crisis
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLC\54-2\HLC204.txt unknown Seq: 1 21-JUN-19 10:37 Black, Poor, and Gone: Civil Rights Law’s Inner-City Crisis Anthony V. Alfieri* In recent years, academics committed to a new law and sociology of pov- erty and inequality have sounded a call to revisit the inner city as a site of cultural and socio-legal research. Both advocates in anti-poverty and civil rights organizations, and scholars in law school clinical and university social policy programs, have echoed this call. Together they have embraced the inner city as a context for experiential learning, qualitative research, and legal-political ad- vocacy regarding concentrated poverty, neighborhood disadvantage, residential segregation, and mass incarceration. Indeed, for academics, advocates, and ac- tivists alike, the inner city stands out as a focal point of innovative theory-prac- tice integration in the fields of civil and criminal justice. Today, in the post-civil rights era, new socio-legal research on the inner city casts a specially instructive light on the past, present, and future work of community-based advocacy groups, anti-poverty and civil rights organizations, and law school clinical programs. That light illuminates the socioeconomic con- ditions that cause and perpetuate poverty, and, equally important, the govern- ment (federal, state, and local) policies and practices that spawn mass eviction and reinforce residential segregation. Widely adopted by municipalities, those displacement-producing and segregation-enforcing policies and practices— neighborhood zoning, land use designation, building condemnation and demoli- tion, and housing code under- or over-enforcement—have caused and will con- tinue to cause the involuntary removal of low-income tenants and homeowners from gentrifying urban spaces and their forced out-migration to impoverished suburban spaces.
