  • 19 October 2020 Towards Atonement and Reparations for Belgium's
    19 October 2020 Towards Atonement and Reparations for Belgium’s Plunder of the Congo On June 30, 1960, Patrice Emery Lumumba, Congo's first democratically-elected Prime Minister, delivered a scathing account of Belgian colonial rule. In the presence of then-King Baudouin of Belgium, Lumumba evoked the many atrocities of Belgium’s eighty years of colonial rule, including "humiliating slavery imposed by force," land seizure and racist laws. The "wounds are too fresh and too painful still for us to drive them from our memory," Lumumba lamented.1 Lumumba was excoriated and ridiculed by Western governments and media for his bold and lucid account of Congolese suffering under Belgium and the rule of King Leopold II. While the Belgian state offered an apology in 2002 for its role in Lumumba’s assassination, Belgians are still in deep denial about their colonial past. The atrocities committed under King Leopold II’s rule in the Congo (1885 – 1908) are well documented and represent some of the most heinous crimes committed in human history. Congolese were forced into labor to produce rubber, children were held as ransom, villages were razed, hands, feet and genitals were amputated - all in an effort to extract maximum labor, resources and profit from the Congolese people. In 1890, African American human rights activist and Civil War hero George Washington Williams said that what was unfolding in the Congo were crimes against humanity. An estimated 10 million Congolese perished under the King’s reign as he extracted ivory and rubber to enrich his Kingdom. The atrocities committed under the 23-year reign of King Leopold were such an offence to the conscience of humanity that it spurred an international movement that ultimately resulted in the King turning over the Congo to the Belgian state in 1908.

  • The Distinction of Peace: a Social Analysis of Peacebuilding Catherine Goetze the Distinction of Peace

Despite this variety, practitioners consider themselves members of a global profession. In this study, Cath- erine Goetze investigates the genesis of peacebuilding as a pro- fessional field of expertise since the 1960s, its increasing influ- ence, and the ways in which it reflects global power structures. Step- by- step, Goetze describes how the peacebuilding field came into being, how it defines who belongs to it and who does not, and what kind of group culture it has generated. Using an innovative and original methodology, she investigates the motivations of individuals who become peacebuilders, their professional trajectories and networks, and the “good peace- builder” as an ideal. For many, working in peacebuilding in various ways— as an aid worker on the ground, as a lawyer at the United Nations, or as an academic in a think tank—has become not merely a livelihood but also a form of participa- tion in world politics. As a field, peacebuilding has developed its techniques for incorporating and training new members, yet its internal politics also create the conditions of exclusion that often result in practical failures of the peacebuilding enterprise. By providing a critical account of the social mechanisms that make up the peacebuilding field, Goetze offers deep insights into the workings of Western domination and global inequalities.

  • Gender and Constitutional Monarchy in Comparative Perspective
    2020 VII Gender and Constitutional Monarchy in Comparative Perspective Rosalind Dixon Article: Gender and Constitutional Monarchy in Comparative Perspective Gender and Constitutional Monarchy in Comparative Perspective Rosalind Dixon UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Abstract: Constitutional monarchies are understudied as institutions that may contribute to the maintenance of a system of constitutional government. Even less well studied, however, is the relationship between constitutional monarchies and norms of gender justice. This article surveys this potential relationship, and notes five broad potential connections: the connection between formal rules surrounding the operation of the monarchy and norms of gender equality; the dynamics surrounding change, or non-change, in these rules; the gendered role(s) played by monarchs in various countries, and how those roles may reflect or even promote broader social change in attitudes towards female leadership; how monarchs have exercised their powers so as to promote, or obstruct, broader campaigns for gender justice; and the relationship between feminist commitments and an interest in the style and/or family choices of monarchs. It further suggests the benefits of a comparative dialogue on these questions that directly connects Europe, Asia, and the Pacific, as well as more future scholarship on these and related questions of the relationship between gender- based change in the realms of the symbolic and practical. Keywords: monarchy; constitutions; change; stability; democracy; hierarchy; gender; feminism he relationship between democratic constitutionalism and monarchies is an important, yet under-explored, question in comparative constitutional scholarship. Monarchs clearly play an important formal legal role in many constitutional Tsystems —similar to that played by democratically elected or appointed presidents.

    “In this collection two ambitious Portuguese scholars assemble an impressive cast of contributors to rethink the demise - or reconfiguration - of European power in Africa. Eschewing morality Cambridge Imperial & Post-Colonial Studies plays and polemics for historical analysis, the authors add nuance and complexity to the decolonization, the most important phenomenon of 20th century history - making their book essential reading for the growing number of students interested in this crucial topic.” – David C.

The Ends of Comparative analysis offers a means to redress things, making this collection especially valuable to researchers and students alike. Interrogating the meanings of decolonisation, its local and global implications, and its material consequences – both foreseen and unforeseen, the essays in this collection complement one another well.” – Martin Thomas, University of Exeter European “With a range from the 1940s to the 1970s and beyond, the selection of distinguished and innovative younger historians guide the reader through conceptual issues in a way that is consistently compelling. The individual chapters are integrated into an overall, coherent account Colonial Empires of a critical period in world history. A vital read for all those interested in the dissolution of the European colonial empires and the aftermath of decolonization.” – Wm. Roger Louis, University of Texas Cases and Comparisons Authored by some of the leading experts in the field of Decolonization Studies, this volume provides a series of historical studies that analyse the diverse trajectories of the Portuguese, Belgian, French, British, and Dutch imperial demise, offering comparative insights between the main events and processes involved.

All rights reserved. 2 I believe in aristocracy, though -- if that is the right word, and if a democrat may use it. Not an aristocracy of power, based upon rank and influence, but an aristocracy of the sensitive, the considerate and the plucky. Its members are to be found in all nations and classes, and all through the ages, and there is a secret understanding between them when they meet. They represent the true human tradition, the one permanent victory of our queer race over cruelty and chaos. Thousands of them perish in obscurity, a few are great names. They are sensitive for others as well as themselves, they are considerate without being fussy, their pluck is not swankiness but power to endure, and they can take a joke. E. M.
