YAR — Yemen Arab Republic PREFACE PREFACE Nationalism emerged as the major force animating Afro- Asian and Latin American countries in the. world that developed following the end of the world War II. The diverse manifestation of this emergent nationalism exerciscd fcur reaching effects on the development of international relations - both political and economic. On the political level, the objectives of Third World 'nationalism' were to end colonial domination, to take change of their own destinies, and to play more effective role in global affairs - particularly in those matters that directly affected their vital interests. On the economic plan, their goals were to generate and encourage international cooperation in the field of development assistance, anc' to establish their sovereign rights over their natural resources. For several reasons, the oil producing countries eventually came to play a major role in advancing these objectives, shifting their focus from political liberation and struggle for independence to economic independence. In addition to general international factors, developments in the countries of the West Asia after the World War II, regarding Arab unity and the role assigned to oil in its achievement along with other countries speeded this process that finally led to the creation of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries in 1960. ii As is often the case with the major historical events the creation of OPEC was prompted by two sets of factors: The immediate factors were the two subsequent unilateral and arbitrary reductions of oil prices by the international oil companies in February 1959 and August i960. These price reductions had a determining effect on the creation of OPEC by galvanishing the oil producers to take action to counter the erosion of their economic position. Yet at the same time, the establishment of an association of oil producers would not have been possible, if certain developments had not taken place within the oil producing states in the light of the emerging new ideas and concepts regarding international economic relations, the relationship between developing and industrialised countries, and the factors stimulating cooperation among developing countries - all contributed to OPEC's establishmento Although the creation of OPEC did much to intensify the need felt among Third World countries for closer cooperation in order to achieve their political and economic objectives. However, the fundamental differences among OPEC members - as they differ widely in size, population, petroleum reserves, development needs and political and ideological orientation, affected to a great deal the outlook and approach of the member countries towards oil matters, which in turn have restricted OPEC's operation and policy evolution. Of course, one major source of difference within OPEC is the division of its members between Arab and GULF OPEC MEI4BFRS Map No. 1 + OPEC West Asia - Isl.amic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE Source: Based on OPEC at a Glance published by OPEC Secretariat, OPEC, VIENNA, Austria,1983. iii non-Arab countries, and this has led the West Asian Arab countries to fullfil their particular needs, to establish purely Intra-Arab and Arab Gulf countries' Organization in the form of OAPEC and GCC, which contribute the largest share of OPEC's oil reserves and financial surplus. Yet the Arab members of OAPEC and GCC within OPEC do not form a homogenous group, but rather have remain divided along ideological lines between the so-called progressive and conservative regimes. This is aiso true in the case of three major non-Arab OPEC countries i.e. Iran, Venezuela and Nigeria which like their Arab counterparts are more confined to their own specific objectives than for a cohesive unity of OPEC. In the past, their needs and objectives have sharply conflicted with one-another with the OPEC - the best example of which is the Iran-Iraq dispute over border problems - and later their war - in addition to a whole range of other issues. And hence this study of the'OPEC and the Politics of Indian Ocean* is purposely try to confine itself to the Gulf OPEC members in the context of their being located as littoral states and dominated by the rivalry between tbe ,'juper powers, in the Indian Ocean. As the rise of OPEC is not an event that the Super Powers have viewed with equanimity and conposure. Both the United States and the Soviet Union have been affected by the growth of the economic power of the OPEC countries. Looking at the map, the Persian Gulf region of the Indian Ocean is obviously important for the Super Powers to control the production and transportation of oil, while the control of the Red Sea region, means to ensure a smooth passage iv of cargo vessels and warships. In the wider circle, control of the area includes not only the control of political units directly located on the shores of the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea* but also other unites that depend economically* militarily and strategically on the Red Sea, the horn of Africa arid the Persian Gulf, The United States and the West depend for their oil needs on this region while the Soviet Union considers the Red Sea important as the nearest route connecting its black sea ports to the Indian Ocean.

    PRESS NOTE 1,000 + activists, academics, concerned citizens from 20+ states in India and across the globe write to Chief Minister Chhattisgarh Call for immediate release of Hidme Markam and end state excess on adivasis in Bastar 21st Apr, 2021: Deeply outrage by the arbitrary incarceration of Hidme Markam, an adivasi human rights defender and environmental activist, for over 40 days, more than a thousand activists, academics, concerned citizens from across the globe sent a petition to Mr. Bhupesh Baghel, the Chief Minister, Chhattisgarh calling upon him to immediate ensure the release of Hidme Markam and take pro-active steps to end the cycle of repression against adivasis in Chhattisgarh. They also appealed that false charges against Hidme and other adivasi activists be dropped and an independent inquiry be conducted into all instances of sexual and state violence. [The full text of the letter and full list of signatories are attached] It has been widely reported that on 9th March, 2021, Hidme Markam, a committed environmental activist from the adivasi community, working in the Nandraj Pahad anti- mining movement was openly abducted by the Dantewada Police (and later shown as ‘arrested’) when she was attending a programme commemorating the International Women’s Day in Sameli, Bastar. Several women had gathered peacefully to remember and mourn the rapes and murders of adivasi women at the hands of the State. But ironically, that day became witness to another incident of state high-handedness She has been in jail for over 40 days now. The letter states that Hidme Markam along with other adivasis, organized as the Nandraj Pahad Bachao Andolan, has been resisting the mining of a sacred indigenous hill by corporations like Adani Pvt Ltd.

The courses illuminate different methodological approaches as well as key variables in understanding the past. Focussing on various genres of history—political, economic, social, cultural, intellectual—the syllabus seeks to provide students with a holistic understanding of the previous eras. Special emphasis is given on various issues of ‘local’ or ‘regional’ history, keeping in mind the setting of the university and the background of the students who come here to study. The syllabus also puts emphasis on the way ‘history’ as a discipline has evolved over the years, how the practice of ‘writing’ history has changed and how historians have negotiated with various theoretical formulations that have informed neighbouring disciplines. The courses also provide the students with tools to interpret not only the past, but the contemporary socio-economic and political configurations as well. History, as has often been pointed out, is a constant dialogue between the past and the present. The post-graduate course offers to make the students aware of the tremendous complexities of past issues while at the same time helping them to understand and analyse the contemporary world. Programme Specific Objectives: The courses offered under the programme aim at training students in the discipline of history.
