  • Goerge Lavan Weissman Papers
    George Lavan Weissman Collection Papers, 1935-1985 3 linear feet 3 storage boxes Accession #1347 DALNET # OCLC # George Lavan Weissman was born in Chicago in 1916 and grew up in Boston, where he attended Boston Latin School and Harvard College. While at Harvard during the Great Depression, he became a Marxist, joined the Young People’s Socialist League and the Socialist Party and volunteered as an organizer for several labor unions in New England. Weissman followed the Trotskyists out of the SP after their expulsion in 1937 and helped found the Socialist Workers Party and the Fourth International in 1938. He married fellow SWP activist, Constance Fox Harding, in 1943. As a self-described “party functionary,” Weissman was a branch organizer in Boston (1939-41) and Youngstown (1946), director and editor of Pioneer Publishing and Pathfinder Press (1947-81), manager of Mountain Spring Camp (1948-62) and editor and writer for the Militant and other party publications, including the first English-language anthology of Che Guevara’s writings, Che Guevara Speaks and The War Correspondence of Leon Trotsky: The Balkan Wars, 1912-1913 (He had become United States literary representative of the Trotsky estate after Natalia Sedova Trotsky’s death in 1962). After his expulsion from the SWP in the great purge of 1983-1984, Weissman joined with others to form the Fourth Internationalist Tendency and became a member of the Bulletin in Defense of Marxism editorial board. He died on March 28, 1985. The George Lavan Weissman Collection consists of correspondence (both his and Connie Weissman’s), the manuscript for volume two of Trotsky’s war correspondence, on which Weissman was working at the time of his death, and numerous pamphlets and other publications put out by the SWP and a variety of civil rights and civil libertarian organizations to which he belonged.

Cimatu (RTVM / MANILA BULLETIN) This was part of the DENR’s response to a letter sent by the office of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno last Sept. 7, seeking the agency’s clarification on the safety of dolomite to public health. In his response dated Sept. 8, Cimatu pointed out that beach nourishment is the practice of adding sand or sediment to beaches to combat erosion and increase beach width. Beach nourishment, he explained, should be applied in Manila Bay because “Manila Bay is not considered prone to coastal erosion as it is mostly protected by seawalls, but the beaches are very narrow.” He cited that under the writ of continuing Mandamus issued by the Supreme Court on Dec. 18, 2016, a marching order was given to 13 government agencies, including the DENR to spearhead the clean up, rehabilitation, and preservation of Manila Bay “to make it more suitable for swimming, skin diving, and other forms of contact recreation and for protection of coastal communities.” “After dredging and clean up of the Bay, it was agreed upon by members of the different agencies involved in the rehabilitation of Manila Bay that the initial beach nourishment in Manila Bay will be applied in segment between the area fronting the US Embassy and the Manila Yacht Club to mimic a sort of a ‘pocket beach,’ the northern portion protected by the compound of the US Embassy and the south side sheltered by the Mall of Asia compound,” the letter read.

At this critical juncture for global trade, it promises help for countries still isolated from the emerging global trading system—particularly the least-developed and small states—to meet the adjustment costs of opening up their markets. t will help them build the capacity to trade effectively, with donor support coordinated through partnerships with institutions like the World Trade Organization (WTO) and multilateral development banks. Launched in December 2005 at the WTO’s ministerial conference in Hong Kong, China, Aid for Trade is defined as aid for developing countries to build supply-side capacity and trade-related infrastructure to expand trade. From its outset, it was envisioned as a complement, and not a substitute, to the Doha Development Round of the WTO.

  • Their Nexus in Gawad Kalinga Communities of the Philippines
    TOURISM, HOUSING AND COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION: THEIR NEXUS IN GAWAD KALINGA COMMUNITIES OF THE PHILIPPINES Rowena Santos Delgado Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2014 Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Dedication To travellers around the world, especially those who visited the Philippines and helped its people. Abstract This thesis explores the relationship between tourism and housing in the development of poor communities in the Philippines, arguing that tourism can be made more sustainable when a participatory approach to housing delivery is integrated in plans and policies for tourism development. Although the centrality of community participation in the sustainability of tourism has been established in existing research, participatory housing processes were not overtly incorporated as an essential component in tourism. Literature on sustainable tourism lacks an exploration of participatory housing processes in addressing problems that develop from mass tourism such as social displacement and alienation. Utilising social capital as theoretical framework, this thesis investigates how community participation in housing influences their capacity to participate in the sustainability of tourism. To demonstrate the relationship between participatory housing and sustainable tourism with particular focus on poor communities located in tourism regions, a case study on the bayanihan approach to housing provision by the Gawad Kalinga Community Development (GK) organisation in the Philippines was undertaken. Bayanihan, which is a traditional practice of participation motivated by philanthropy and nationalism, has been employed by GK in the simultaneous building of new communities and also the development of tourism.
