Index 335 @ FOREWORD The \7orld \filderness Congress (\7\fC) is a permanent, international, public forum at which a diverse group of professionals gathers with con- cerned members of the public to address and act on critical matters of envi- ronmental well-being, especially as they relate to the role of wilderness in our society. The congress has convened on four previous occasions-South Ntica (1.977), Australia (1980), Scotland (1983), and the United States (1987). The 5th \[WC convened in Tromso, Norway, north of the Arctic Circle, under the theme lVild Nature and Sustainable Liuing in Circumpolar Re- gions. The aim of the 5th \V\7C was to enhance awareness of the natural beauty, natural resources, and the aesthetic and scientific impofiance of the Arctic and Antarctica-the two largest, continuous, relatively undisturbed ecosystems on Earth. A greater physical contrast between these regions and the woodlands of Umfolozi where the \XrS7C was conceived (see Preface) could hardly be imagined. But the inherent value of natural environment and the conselation imperative that must be upheld in these and all wild regions of the Earth are exactly the same. The \X WC has always insisted on a balanced, holistic approach to prob- lem solving in which philosophy, culture, and the arts are as important as the biological and physical sciences, economics, and politics. In this spirit, the fifth congress was convened in parallel with the first Northern Forum conference, the theme of which was People in the Arctic: Regional Rigbts and Regional Management. This cooperation was a new initiative, which provided an opportunity to present and discuss major issues in conserwation and sustainable development in northern regions from an especially wide v1l1 Ancrrc'WnoenNess: THn 5ru'Wonrn'%rorwnss CoNcruss range of perspectives. Dialogue of this kind is essential as never before to secure both preservation of polar wilderness and sustainable living for the people of the North. How well this experiment succeeded you can judge from the quality and diversity of the material in this volume. The papers report what was said; the "Resolutions of the 5th \7odd Wilderness Congress," which for the first time are included in the proceedings in full, repofi what we want done. Copies of the resolutions have been distributed to the heads of regional governments throughout the nofihern regions, both Arctic and sub-Arctic. It is my sincere hope that the resolutions be carefully considered, and that they will strongly influence future policy in government of the North.

Among Smuts’s many remarks stands a particular speech he delivered in New York City, when he called Africans “the most patient of all animals, next to the ass.” Naturally, this and other comments touched off a firestorm of controversy surrounding Smuts, his visit, and segregationist South Africa’s laws. Utilizing news coverage, correspondence, and recollections of the trip, this article uses his visit as a lens into both African American relations with Africa and white American foundation work towards the continent and, especially, South Africa.

  • The Gordian Knot: Apartheid & the Unmaking of the Liberal World Order, 1960-1970
    THE GORDIAN KNOT: APARTHEID & THE UNMAKING OF THE LIBERAL WORLD ORDER, 1960-1970 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Ryan Irwin, B.A., M.A. History ***** The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Peter Hahn Professor Robert McMahon Professor Kevin Boyle Professor Martha van Wyk © 2010 by Ryan Irwin All rights reserved. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the apartheid debate from an international perspective. Positioned at the methodological intersection of intellectual and diplomatic history, it examines how, where, and why African nationalists, Afrikaner nationalists, and American liberals contested South Africa’s place in the global community in the 1960s. It uses this fight to explore the contradictions of international politics in the decade after second-wave decolonization. The apartheid debate was never at the center of global affairs in this period, but it rallied international opinions in ways that attached particular meanings to concepts of development, order, justice, and freedom. As such, the debate about South Africa provides a microcosm of the larger postcolonial moment, exposing the deep-seated differences between politicians and policymakers in the First and Third Worlds, as well as the paradoxical nature of change in the late twentieth century. This dissertation tells three interlocking stories. First, it charts the rise and fall of African nationalism. For a brief yet important moment in the early and mid-1960s, African nationalists felt genuinely that they could remake global norms in Africa’s image and abolish the ideology of white supremacy through U.N.

The results Wilson achieved by late April 1919, after several months of near-daily negotiation in Paris, varied between partial success and complete failure.1 Wilson had had other important goals in Paris, including establishing a framework for international arbitration of disputes, advancing labor rights, and promoting free trade and disarmament, and progress was made on all of these. But in terms of his own biography and the distinctive mission of U.S. foreign policy as he and other Americans understood it, the anti- imperial and pro-self-determination goals were paramount.

  • The Lion and the Springbok
    The Lion and the Springbok The Lion and the Springbok presents a unique account of the dynamics and divergences of the ‘uneasy special relationship’ between Britain and South Africa. From the bruising experience of the South African War (1899–1902) to South Africa’s withdrawal from the Commonwealth in 1961, the authors chart this relationship in all its political, economic, cultural, and geostrategic aspects. All the major disputes are discussed, including the struggle for the High Commission Territories, the crisis over Seretse Khama’s marriage, and the transfer of the Simon’s Town naval base. These issues trace, for the most part, a continuing deterioration in relations, as Afrikaner nationalist identity hardened and South African politics slid into the extremes of apartheid. The perceptions each side had of the other after 1948 are examined through representations in the media, and an epilogue considers the reasons for the return of the ‘new South Africa’ to the Commonwealth in 1994. ronald hyam is Emeritus Reader in British Imperial History, University of Cambridge, and a Fellow and former President of Magdalene College. peter henshaw is a Research Professor in History at the University of Western Ontario.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ROYAL SUBJECTS
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: ROYAL SUBJECTS, IMPERIAL CITIZENS: THE MAKING OF BRITISH IMPERIAL CULTURE, 1860- 1901 Charles Vincent Reed, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Richard Price Department of History ABSTRACT: The dissertation explores the development of global identities in the nineteenth-century British Empire through one particular device of colonial rule – the royal tour. Colonial officials and administrators sought to encourage loyalty and obedience on part of Queen Victoria’s subjects around the world through imperial spectacle and personal interaction with the queen’s children and grandchildren. The royal tour, I argue, created cultural spaces that both settlers of European descent and colonial people of color used to claim the rights and responsibilities of imperial citizenship. The dissertation, then, examines how the royal tours were imagined and used by different historical actors in Britain, southern Africa, New Zealand, and South Asia. My work builds on a growing historical literature about “imperial networks” and the cultures of empire. In particular, it aims to understand the British world as a complex field of cultural encounters, exchanges, and borrowings rather than a collection of unitary paths between Great Britain and its colonies.

What it seeks to do is to look into what characterise homicides in this period, in which type of homicide can the decline be seen, has every type of homicide seen a decrease and lastly, has specific types of homicides disappeared or experienced a more dramatic decrease. This was done by looking at the Homicide Overview from the National Criminal Investigation Service Norway and by a content analysis of 82 judicial verdicts. It is quantitative content analysis as it counts variables, but it is mostly a qualitative analysis as it seeks to give a deeper understanding of the homicides. The homicides were divided into four categories; intimate partner homicides; homicides between friends, acquaintances and colleagues; familial homicides; and homicides between other relations (strangers, the perpetrators/victim used a service that the victim/perpetrator provided, and unspecified relations).

These are the British Socialist Fabian Society founded in 1884, the South African Afrikaner Broederbond founded in 1918, and the South African Institute of Race Relations (SAIRR) founded in 1929. All three are generally accepted as highly influential organizations. The Fabian Society is arguably the earliest modern think tank. Its members developed two modes of communication which are identified in this thesis as rational-scientific and cultural-identity communications.

  • THINKING at the EDGE of the WORLD 12–13 June 2016 Longyearbyen, Svalbard
    THINKING AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD 12–13 June 2016 Longyearbyen, Svalbard Dear Guests, Welcome to Svalbard and ‘Thinking at the Edge of the World’, an international cross-disciplinary conference organ- ized by Northern Norway Art Museum (NNKM) and Office for Contemporary Art Norway (OCA). We are delighted that you have joined us for what we hope will be a truly 12—13 engaging, thought-provoking and rewarding experience together. This is a moment to reflect upon, and perhaps even begin refashioning, some of the central debates of our day – within the arts and beyond. 2016 June June Our programme aims to engage all of you in creative, critical dialogue – forging a collective momentum with which to push, test and extend disciplinary boundaries. Your participation in the debates and discussions we hope to unfold here in Longyearbyen and its surroundings is crucial to this event, which advocates a sharing of perspectives and the genuine exchange – and cross-fertilisation – of multiple and productively disparate points of view. We hope that you will experience as many aspects as possible of the unique environment that is Svalbard today – a landscape of multiple layers and meanings, criss- crossed and shaped by a complex blend of increasingly interconnected geological, biological, technological and political-economic factors. Our schedule and the locations with which we will be engaging attempt to respond to and activate some of these variations in context, scale, time, typology and space. Svalbard and its future are sites of on-going experiment and negotiation. It is precisely this joint spirit of curious investigation and creative mediation that we wish to harness and foster, now and moving forwards, with you.

Eldre deler av boksamlingen, som tidligere hadde vært spredt rundt på fakultetet, kunne plasseres i et nytt magasin i kjelleren, og det som siden 1972 hadde vært en egen avdeling for eldre juridisk og rettshistorisk litteratur, Rettshistorisk samling, fikk flytte inn i et fredet biblioteklokale i annen etasje i Domus Bibliotheca Boksamlingene inneholder betydelige mengder eldre norske rettskilder – i tillegg til det som finnes ved andre bibliotek. Som et ekstra hjelpemiddel til å finne frem i dette materialet laget jeg en enkel oversikt til bruk for kolleger i biblioteket og for meg selv, som da var bibliotekar ved Institutt for offentlig rett, med spesielt ansvar for Rettshistorisk samling. I 2002 ble listen i bearbeidet versjon utgitt i serien Det juridiske fakultetsbibliotek skriftserie som nr 16. En revidert og utvidet utgave ble publisert som nettdokument i DUO i 2010. Det er en oppdatering av denne som nå utgis i bibliotekets nye skriftserie. Biblioteket har skiftet navn til Juridisk bibliotek, bibliotekets skriftserie har endret navn tilsvarende og heter nå Juridisk biblioteks skriftserie. Overbibliotekar Randi Halveg Iversby har overtatt hovedansvaret etter mangeårig redaktør Pål Bertnes.
