Iraq’S Ministry Of Interior: Nato, Capability Building, And Reform, Andrea Malouf May 2024

Iraq’S Ministry Of Interior: Nato, Capability Building, And Reform, Andrea Malouf

The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters

The ongoing, 20-year effort to reform Iraq’s Ministry of Interior through capability building is an underreported but critical aspect of NATO’s mission. This article identifies 10 strategic errors or “lessons” from this mission related to ends, ways, means, and assumptions. NATO’s involvement was flawed from design to delivery, including its myopic focus on training, systemic disregard of politics, relegation of civilian expertise, and inadequate measurements of its effects. As a result, police legitimacy in Iraq eroded, potentially exacerbating instability. Capability building is becoming more attractive as a non-kinetic tool; the success of future NATO missions—in Iraq and elsewhere—will, therefore, rely …

Rise Of Science City In Zhongguancun (1951-1999), Yang Xiaolin

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

In April 1951, the Beijing Municipal Government "reserved considerable development land" in the area of "south of Tsinghua, east of Haidian, west of Beijing-Suiyuan Railway, north of Daniwan". In October 1953, Chinese Academy of Sciences settled there, and since then, there has the "formal name"-Zhongguancun. As of 1966, there were 118 research institutes directly in Chinese Academy of Sciences, and 28 in Beijing, 22 of which were at Zhongguancun. In October 1980, Chen Chunxian's "Advanced Technology Development Service Department of Beijing Plasma Society" was founded there, which opened the prelude to "Zhongguancun Electronic Street".

Not Accepting Abuse As The Norm: Local Forms Of Institutional Reform To Improve Reporting On Domestic Violence In Punjab, Maryam Tanwir, Shailaja Fennell, Hafsah Rehman Lak, Salman Sufi Sep 2019

Not Accepting Abuse As The Norm: Local Forms Of Institutional Reform To Improve Reporting On Domestic Violence In Punjab, Maryam Tanwir, Shailaja Fennell, Hafsah Rehman Lak, Salman Sufi

Journal of International Women's Studies

Gendered social norms are difficult to overcome, due to a lack of consensus among legal, religious, and social institutions on the direction that will result in new social norms. In the case of Pakistan, which ranks sixth on the list of the most dangerous countries for women, it is not possible to change gendered social norms regarding domestic violence by only focusing on legal reform since, in its social context, the act of domestic violence is not in itself regarded as a serious offence. This article explores reform in Punjab, where deeply entrenched legal structural obstacles and discriminatory gender norms …

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

Establishing the national park system is an important reform task of the 3rd Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and also a major part of the reform for promoting ecological civilization of China. The 19th CPC National Congress pointed out that China will develop a natural reserve system mainly composed by national parks, which confirmed the importance of the national park system in the reform of China's ecological civilization. Since 2015, China has successively set up 10 pilot programs for establishing national parks. Based on in-depth investigations on 10 pilot programs, the …


Aging Injunctions And The Legacy Of Institutional Reform Litigation, Jason Parkin Jan 2017

Aging Injunctions And The Legacy Of Institutional Reform Litigation, Jason Parkin

Vanderbilt Law Review

Institutional reform litigation has been an enduring feature of the American legal system since the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. The resulting injunctions have transformed countless bureaucracies notorious for resisting change, including public school systems, housing authorities, social services agencies, correctional facilities, and police departments. But these injunctions face an uncertain future. The Supreme Court has held that institutional reform injunctions must be easier to terminate than all other injunctions issued by the federal courts. Some institutional reform injunctions go unenforced or are forgotten entirely. Others expire due to sunset provisions. At the same time, doctrinal …

A Precept Of Managerial Responsibility: Securing Collective Justice In Instituational Reform Litigation, Anthony M. Bertelli, Laurence E. Lynn Jr. Jan 2001

A Precept Of Managerial Responsibility: Securing Collective Justice In Instituational Reform Litigation, Anthony M. Bertelli, Laurence E. Lynn Jr.

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Institutional reform litigation confronts public administrators with troubling dilemmas, court directives often contradict the duties and responsibilities of public managers. Thus, the argument for judicial intervention is rarely straightforward. The authors argue that federal courts should refuse to hear institutional reform cases not only when federal court intervention would upset a state administrative scheme, but also when the institutional defendant is governed by a precept of managerial responsibility. When the agency's challenged actions have comported with this precept, they urge federal courts to let their state counterparts determine the agency's managerial responsibility in a common law process. The analysis begins, …
