The Evolving Role Of Citizens In United States-Canadian International Environmental Law Compliance, Noah D. Hall
The Evolving Role Of Citizens In United States-Canadian International Environmental Law Compliance, Noah D. Hall
Noah D Hall
Citizen participation is critical in environmental law compliance. While citizens often have a major role in advancing compliance with domestic environmental law, citizens have historically had a much more limited role in international environmental law. However, a new model is emerging North America. The role of citizens in United States-Canadian international environmental law compliance has expanded greatly over the past several decades. Beginning in the 1970’s with increased public participation in binational governance agreements and expanding in the past two decades to formal roles in monitoring implementation of international environmental agreements, citizen participation is now central in the United States-Canadian …
Transboundary Pollution: Harmonizing International And Domestic Law, Noah D. Hall
Transboundary Pollution: Harmonizing International And Domestic Law, Noah D. Hall
Noah D Hall
Addressing transnational pollution requires both international and domestic law. Transnational pollution is an international problem that demands and deserves the attention of international legal mechanisms such as treaties, agreements, arbitration, and international management and governance. At the same time, transnational pollution problems can often be addressed more effectively and efficiently through the domestic legal system. An ideal approach is to harmonize transnational pollution management and dispute resolution under international and domestic law. This article seeks to provide pragmatic, feasible, and politically realistic solutions to transnational pollution by harmonizing international and domestic law. However, given the diversity in geography, domestic legal …
Uncertain Future: A Strategic Review Of The Middle, William Wunderle, Andre Briere
Uncertain Future: A Strategic Review Of The Middle, William Wunderle, Andre Briere
William Wunderle
America’s tendency to focus solely on military threat reduction increasingly erodes U.S. relationships with Middle East nations. As consequences of recent conflicts continue to reverberate, Iran’s influence appears to be increasing and there is growing Sunni fear of an emboldened Shia populace. This article offers a broad review of important trends in the Middle East and North Africa over the next five to seven years, identifies emerging strategic challenges, and offers a way forward for the United States. America’s foreign policies must be shaped to rely on soft power first and the use of military force only when absolutely necessary.
Ethnic Nationalism And Adaptation In Cyprus, Neophytos Loizides
Ethnic Nationalism And Adaptation In Cyprus, Neophytos Loizides
Neophytos Loizides
Ethnic Nationalism and Adaptation in Cyprus NEOPHYTOS G. LOIZIDES Queen’s University Belfast Both ethnic communities in Cyprus have maintained strong political and cultural ties with Greece and Turkey, respectively, and at some point of their twentieth century history, each has aspired to become part of either the former or the latter. Yet the way this relationship has been imagined has differed across time, space, and class. Both communities have adapted their identities to prevailing ideological waves as well as political opportunities, domestic alliances, and interests. The article evaluates different responses to ethnic nationalism, highlighting important intra-ethnic differentiations within each Cypriot …
Violence And Power: A Critique Of Hannah Arendt On The 'Political', Keith G. Breen
Violence And Power: A Critique Of Hannah Arendt On The 'Political', Keith G. Breen
Keith Breen
In contrast to political realism’s equation of the ‘political’ with domination, Hannah Arendt understood the ‘political’ as a relation of friendship utterly opposed to the use of violence. This paper offers a critique of that understanding. It becomes clear that Arendt’s challenge to realism, as exemplified by Max Weber, succeeds on account of a dubious redefinition of the ‘political’ that is the reverse image of the one-sided vision of politics she had hoped to contest. Questioning this paradoxical turn leads to a critique of Arendt’s separation of violence and power and, consequently, her attempt to insulate a politics of friendship …
Fighting Corruption On The Transdnistrian Border: Lessons From Successful And Failed Anti-Corruption Programmes, Bryane Michael
Fighting Corruption On The Transdnistrian Border: Lessons From Successful And Failed Anti-Corruption Programmes, Bryane Michael
Bryane Michael (bryane.michael@stcatz.ox.ac.uk)
In 2007, both Moldovan and Ukrainian authorities took firm steps to reduce corruption along the Transdnistrian border. This paper – aimed mainly at anticorruption practitioners and scholars in public administration – discusses the background and underlying principles guiding the anti-corruption work being adopted by both governments in order to facilitate discussion about optimal anticorruption programme design. This paper presents a set of tools used during the planning phase of the anti-corruption programme — outlining the methodology used to assess the extent of corruption on the Transdnistrian border, the problems of legislative transplants, a “contract test” for defining corruption offenses, a …

Canadian Voting Behaviour In Comparative Perspective, James Farney, Renan Levine
Canadian Voting Behaviour In Comparative Perspective, James Farney, Renan Levine
Renan Levine
The existing comparative literature on voting behaviour and elections does not always succeed in including Canada in parsimonious theories about elections around the world. Of the four, long-term influences on the vote such as regional identities and cultures (or their apparent lack of influence) have received the most attention in Canada (see Kanji 2002 and Gidengail 1993 for reviews). Scholars seeking to understand particular elections in Canada have also long emphasized election-specific short-term influences on the vote as much of the historic competition between the Liberals and the Progressive Conservatives seem to revolve around questions of who would best lead …

Democracy On Stilts: Bolivia's Democracy From Stability To Crisis, Miguel Centellas
Democracy On Stilts: Bolivia's Democracy From Stability To Crisis, Miguel Centellas
Miguel Centellas
Bolivia’s recent political crisis starkly contrasts to the preceding two decades of relative democratic stability. Though a unique system of “parliamentarized” presidentialism together with lingering consensus on the national project inherited from the 1952 Revolution supported democratic stability, using qualitative and quantitative methods, this study shows that seemingly benign changes in institutional design made in the 1990s contributed to the acceleration of already existing tendencies towards divisive sectoral, regional, and ethnic politics. A key observation is that successful long-term democratization requires institutions for adequately channeling and representing social demands as well as a shared vision of a political “imagined community” …
Basics Of Mergers, Acquisitions And Corporate Restructuring: The Nigerian Experience., Ozy B. Orluwene Jp, Hycenth A. Ajie
Basics Of Mergers, Acquisitions And Corporate Restructuring: The Nigerian Experience., Ozy B. Orluwene Jp, Hycenth A. Ajie
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP
ABSTRACT: This paper is primarily concerned with examining the role of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in corporate restructuring as an instrument of enhancing efficiency, size and developmental roles. The last few years have witnessed an astronomical increase in world of corporate restructuring through M&As. The trend has been influenced by factors such as prospects of cost saving due to economies of scale as well as more efficient allocation of resources; enhanced efficiency in resources allocation and risk reduction arising from improved management at points of allocation and utilization of resources. M&As especially in the banking industry are now a global …
Assisted Suicide: An Interest Not A Right., Eric G. Roscoe
Assisted Suicide: An Interest Not A Right., Eric G. Roscoe
Eric G. Roscoe
This paper examines the right to privacy and its role in recent debate over the rights of terminally ill patients to receive assistance in dying. It examines the history of suicide from John Donne up to the recent Supreme Court decisions in Washington v. Glucksberg. The Court came to the proper conclusion in Glucksberg by leaving the decisions up to state legislatures because the right itself does not reach the level of a fundamentally protected right to privacy. However, in some states it does reach the level of a state created liberty interest, and in those states a legitimate argument …

Partisanship During The Collapse Venezuela's Party System, Jana Morgan
Partisanship During The Collapse Venezuela's Party System, Jana Morgan
Jana Morgan
Political parties are crucial for democratic politics; thus, the growing incidence of party and party system failure raises questions about the health of representative democracy the world over. This article examines the collapse of the Venezuelan party system, arguably one of the most institutionalized party systems in Latin America, by examining the individual-level basis behind the exodus of partisans from the traditional parties. Multinomial logit analysis of partisan identification in 1998, the pivotal moment of the system’s complete collapse, indicates that people left the old system and began to support new parties because the traditional parties failed to incorporate and …
History, Chinese Nationalism And The Emerging Sino-Japanese Conflict, Yinan He
History, Chinese Nationalism And The Emerging Sino-Japanese Conflict, Yinan He
Yinan He
Anti-Japanese popular nationalism is rising high in China today. Little evidence to date proves that it is officially orchestrated. Nonetheless, Chinese popular nationalism still has deep roots in the state’s history propaganda which has implanted pernicious myths in the national collective memory. Fueling mistrust and exacerbating a mutual threat perception, popular nationalism could be a catalyst for future Sino – Japanese conflict over the Taiwan problem, island disputes, and maritime resource competition. The increasingly liberalized but often biased Chinese media, the role of nationalist sub-elites, and the government’s accommodation have all contributed to the strength of anti-Japanese nationalism, which cannot …
‘Legitimacy Gaps In The World Economy: Explaining The Sources Of The Imf’S Legitimacy Crisis’, Leonard Seabrooke
‘Legitimacy Gaps In The World Economy: Explaining The Sources Of The Imf’S Legitimacy Crisis’, Leonard Seabrooke
Leonard Seabrooke
Since the Asian financial crisis of 1997–1998, the International Monetary Fund (the Fund) has been embroiled in an international crisis of legitimacy. Assertions of a crisis are premised on the notions that the Fund’s voting system is unfair, that the Fund enforces homogeneous policies onto borrowing member states and that loan programmes tend to fail. Seen this way, poor institutional and policy design has led to a loss of legitimacy. But institutionalised inequalities or policy failure is not in itself sufficient to constitute an international crisis of legitimacy. This article provides a conceptually-driven discussion of the sources of the Fund’s …
‘Exogenous Shocks Or Endogenous Constructions? The Meanings Of Wars And Crises’, Wesley W. Widmaier, Mark Blyth, Leonard Seabrooke
‘Exogenous Shocks Or Endogenous Constructions? The Meanings Of Wars And Crises’, Wesley W. Widmaier, Mark Blyth, Leonard Seabrooke
Leonard Seabrooke
This symposium addresses the role of wars and crises as mechanisms of international change. Over the past two decades, the international system has undergone a number of remarkable transformations, from the end of the Cold War to the emergence of an ongoing ‘‘War on Terror,’’ and from the collapse of statist development models to the emergence of a contested—if evolving—neoliberal ‘‘Washington Consensus.’’ This volatility exceeds any underlying shifts in economic structures or the distribution of capabilities, and raises important questions regarding the roles of agency, uncertainty, and ideas in advancing change. In this introduction we examine the role of wars …
‘The Everyday Social Sources Of Economic Crises: From “Great Frustrations” To “Great Revelations” In Interwar Britain’, Leonard Seabrooke
‘The Everyday Social Sources Of Economic Crises: From “Great Frustrations” To “Great Revelations” In Interwar Britain’, Leonard Seabrooke
Leonard Seabrooke
Who drives domestic institutional change in the face of international economic crisis? For materialists, self-interested actors struggle for material gains during exogenously generated crises. For constructivists, norm entrepreneurs strategically construct how crises should be interpreted to justify certain institutional reforms. While both these approaches are analytically powerful, they suffer from an implicit view of legitimacy as established by elite command or proclamation during periods of uncertainty. This article adds an extra piece to the puzzle of which institutional reforms are selected in the construction of a crisis. It suggests that everyday discourses constructed by mass public agents, or nonelites, provide …
‘Seeing Like The Imf: Institutional Change In Small Open Economies’, André Broome, Leonard Seabrooke
‘Seeing Like The Imf: Institutional Change In Small Open Economies’, André Broome, Leonard Seabrooke
Leonard Seabrooke
The International Monetary Fund spends most of its time monitoring its member states’ economic performance and advising on institutional change. While much of the literature sees the Fund as a policy enforcer in ‘emerging market’ and ‘frontier’ economies, little attention has been paid to exploring the Fund’s bilateral surveillance of its Western member states. This article proposes that ‘seeing like the IMF’ provides a dynamic view of how the Fund frames its advice for institutional change. It does so through ‘associational templates’ that do not blindly promote institutional convergence, but appeal for change on the basis of like-characteristics among economies. …
The Role Of Ethnicity In The Making Of A Nation: The Nigerian Case, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
The Role Of Ethnicity In The Making Of A Nation: The Nigerian Case, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP
ABSTRACT This paper is primarily concerned with examining the place of ethnicity in the making of a modern state (Nigeria). The study contends that Nigerian did not create ethnic groups rather ethnic groups created Nigeria. They constituted the basic stuff which colonialism manipulated into shape and christened Nigeria. To put it Aristotelian terms, colonialism and ethnic pluralism were respectively, the efficient and the material causes of Nigeria. Therefore, credit for the creation of Nigeria state goes to ethnic pluralism after colonialism.

What Is This Gender Talk All About After All? Gender, Power And Politics In Cotemporary Nigeria, Shola J. Omotola
What Is This Gender Talk All About After All? Gender, Power And Politics In Cotemporary Nigeria, Shola J. Omotola
Shola J. Omotola Mr
Gender discourse is very influential everywhere, calling to attention the unwarranted discrepancy between the locations of men and women in the state and society in almost every facet of life. It places particular emphasis on the oppression and marginalisation of women at all levels. The feminist movements have for years continued to advocate for gender balance especially through affirmative action. Yet, only marginal progress has been made. Drawing insights from contemporary Nigeria, this paper argues that if the gender discourse will ever be productive, it would have to be reoriented and situated within the framework of power politics.

Transitional Justice And Post-Conflict Israel/Palestine: Assessing The Applicability Of The Truth Commission Paradigm, Ariel Meyerstein
Transitional Justice And Post-Conflict Israel/Palestine: Assessing The Applicability Of The Truth Commission Paradigm, Ariel Meyerstein
Ariel Meyerstein, JD, PhD
This thought experiment examines whether transitional justice has a place in the Israeli-Palestinian post-conflict and, at the same time, what attempting to fit the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into the transitional paradigm can teach us about the limits and possibilities of the transitional justice paradigm. In particular, the Israeli-Palestinian context presents challenging issues regarding the large beneficiary and collaborator classes in both societies. The article concludes by observing that history has proven truth commissions not to be panaceas, but that they offer a limited, inherent “procedural value” to post-conflict societies by instantiating new political dynamics between former political enemies.
