Afghanistan as a Test of Canadian Politics: What did we Learn from the Experience?

0

cigionline.org –

The Centre for International Governance Innovation and the SSR Resource Centre have just released the 10th and final edition of the Afghanistan Papers. Stephen Saideman’s paper, Afghanistan as a Test of Canadian Politics, considers lessons that can be drawn from the Canadian effort in Afghanistan, especially the challenges of trying to build security, governance and development in Kandahar. First, it examines how the Canadian Forces (CF) adapted over time, both in Afghanistan and in Ottawa. more...

China in Africa: How the lion should tame the dragon

0

iar-gwu.org –

Many Western policymakers, politicians, and business leaders have viewed China’s engagement in Africa with vituperation, accusing China of extracting Africa’s natural resources on the cheap and exploiting weak political institutions for economic gain while leaving Africans with the crumbs. However, the only thing China exploits is the improvidence of some of Africa’s political elite. Blaming China for Africa’s ills would be naïve. China became Africa’s largest individual trading partner in more...

Central Asia's Crisis of Governance

0

humansecuritygateway.com –

Since emerging as independent states from the ruins of the Soviet Union 20 years ago, the five Central Asian nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan have struggled with the fundamental question of statehood: how to govern their societies fairly and effectively. A new Asia Society report, Central Asia's Crisis of Governance, addresses critical governance and stability challenges in a region marred by staggering amounts of corruption, human rights abuses, more...

A New deal for engagement in fragile states

0

The current ways of working in fragile states need serious improvement. Despite the significant investment and the commitments of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (2005) and the Accra Agenda for Action (2008), results and value for money have been modest. Transitioning out of fragility is long, political work that requires country leadership and ownership. Processes of political dialogue have often failed due to lack of trust, inclusiveness, and leadership. International partners can more...

The State and Illegality in Indonesia

0

Here we have ordinary civilians engaging in what are apparently acts of pure criminality that do not involve abuse of state office or misuse of state funds, but in order to do so, they find it most convenient to imitate corrupt state officials. Everybody involved apparently takes it for granted that this act of imitation is logical, even crafty. Neither the military officers being imitated, nor the police officers in charge of investigations, nor those being swindled, nor the reporters, more...

Standards for change? ISO 26000 and sustainable development

0

pubs.iied.org –

This report looks at what has happened so far and what the potential could be. The paper argues that unlike some of the best-known ISO standards on other subjects, ISO 26000 does not address how to manage sustainable development issues in a systematic way. And it does not provide for independent certification of its application. This limits its appeal to many companies and makes it difficult to measure accurately its rate of adoption and impact. However, the worldwide reach of ISO and its more...

WikiLeaks cables show US diplomats promote genetically engineered crops worldwide

0

civileats.com –

Dozens of United States diplomatic cables released in a WikiLeaks dump in 2011 reveal new details of the US effort to push foreign governments to approve genetically engineered (GE) crops and promote the worldwide interests of agribusiness giants like Monsanto and DuPont. The cables further confirm previous reports from the Web site Truthout on the diplomatic pressure the US has put on Spain and France, two countries with powerful anti-GE crop movements, to speed up their biotech approval more...

Afghanistan: Political Dialogue in the Shadow of Violence and Insecurity

0

theglobalobservatory.org –

The current security, political and economic environment in Afghanistan presents significant challenges to ending the conflict. Facts on the ground have largely worked against political dialogue in the first four months of 2012. In recent weeks, however, there have been small steps forward in four areas: 1) dialogue with the Taliban; 2) easing tensions with Afghanistan’s neighbors; 3) Afghan leadership exercising its sovereign authority; and 4) international commitment backed up by credible more...

Political Participation of Africa’s Youth: Turnout, Partisanship and Protest

0

afrobarometer.org –

The youth have long represented an important constituency for electoral mobilization in Africa. Yet, despite their numerical importance and the historical relevance of generational identities within the region, very little is really known about the political participation of Africa’s youth. In order to address this issue, we combine country-level variables for 19 of Africa’s more democratic countries with individual-level public opinion data from Afrobarometer survey data. A series of binomial more...

Museveni and the 2011 Ugandan Election: Did the money matter?

0

afrobarometer.org –

In February 2011, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni further extended his already twenty-five-year tenure by winning a resounding re-election victory. In the aftermath of the vote, which many had earlier predicted would be competitive or even result in an opposition victory, analysts and opposition supporters ascribed Museveni’s victory to his government’s massive pre-election spending on public goods, and to supposedly widespread vote-buying practices. While the opposition clearly could not more...
