The Role Of Informal Politics In Environmental Governance In East Uluguru Mountains In Tanzania, Christopher Mahonge Jun 2012

The Role Of Informal Politics In Environmental Governance In East Uluguru Mountains In Tanzania, Christopher Mahonge

Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences

Informal politics exercises a significant influence on formal decision making arrangements although its interplay with formal arrangements has conventionally been ignored. This study investigates how informal politics affects the operationalisation of a formally sanctioned initiative in the sphere of environmental governance. Nyachilo village, situated in the East Uluguru Mountains, was the site of the fieldwork of this study. The establishment of participatory environmental management in this village, through village environmental management committees, aimed at bringing a balance between the twin objectives of environmental conservation and development. However, the two-year experience in the implementation of this community-based environmental management approach has …


Hiv/Aids In The Muslim-Majority Countries: Formula For Low Prevalence, Kaoru Yamaguchi Jan 2012

Hiv/Aids In The Muslim-Majority Countries: Formula For Low Prevalence, Kaoru Yamaguchi

Political Science Theses and Capstones

The Muslim-majority countries long had been considered to be free of HIV/AIDS epidemic because of their strict religious and moral codes. However, the HIV prevalence rates are increasing in some Islamic states, and even more or so rapidly in a several cases that it is no longer valid to assume the Islamic religion protects its followers from the risks of contracting HIV. Contrary to the popular belief concerning the prevention of the HIV/AIDs epidemic, data collected from well-recognized international organizations such as the WHO and Freedom House indicate that democratization, strong government leadership, and wider and equal human rights for …


From Boom To Doom To Boom: Offshore Financial Centres And Development In Small States, Richard Woodward Jul 2011

From Boom To Doom To Boom: Offshore Financial Centres And Development In Small States, Richard Woodward

Articles

During the 1990s tax havens and offshore financial centres (OFCs) were subject to a string of initiatives designed to raise their tax and regulatory regimes to accepted international standards. Many commentators forecast that this would lead to the demise of OFCs, a worry for the many small states whose economic well being depended heavily on the provision of offshore financial services. Despite this regulatory onslaught many small state OFCs have prospered in the new millennium. This paper seeks to explain this apparent paradox by arguing that (1) international initiatives were riddled with loopholes and exceptions that have been gleefully seized …

"Offshore” Or “Shorn Off”: The Oecd’S Harmful Tax Competition Initiative And Development In Small Island Economies, Richard Woodward May 2005

"Offshore” Or “Shorn Off”: The Oecd’S Harmful Tax Competition Initiative And Development In Small Island Economies, Richard Woodward

Books/Book Chapters

The difficulties of developing and executing a sustainable development program in Small Island Economies (SIEs) are well documented. Comparatively small domestic markets, remote export markets, a dearth of natural and human resources, susceptibility to environmental change and natural disasters, plus limitations on the state’s capacity to govern economic activity have narrowed the range of feasible development strategies resulting in a reliance on sectors vulnerable to the vicissitudes of the global economy.


The Politics And Diplomacy Of South-South Cooperation : The Role Of Malaysia, Nigeria And The Post-Apartheid South Africa, Madu Magnus Emeka Jan 2001

The Politics And Diplomacy Of South-South Cooperation : The Role Of Malaysia, Nigeria And The Post-Apartheid South Africa, Madu Magnus Emeka

Student Works (2000-2009)

The emergence of a large number of sovereign states in the post-second world war period generated a new class of issues, perceptions, and feelings as well as theories and approaches of handling the problem of inter-relationships among countries. After the independence of the new states they realised that the existing economic order was highly unequal and detrimental to their interests. They receive unfavourable and unjust treatment from the developed nations in the course of international interactions through non-reciprocal economic relationships, as well as domination in political, security, information, culture and educational aspects--all of which have direct and indirect impact upon …

Dinamika Hubungan Pusat Dan Daerah Di Indonesia : Kajian Kes Pemilihan Gabenor Sumatra Barat 1950-2000, Saldi, S. H. Isra

Student Works (2000-2009)

Selama lima puluh tahun (1950-2000) terdapat pemahaman dan harapan (understanding and expectation) yang berbeza tentang hubungan pusat dan daerah di Indonesia. Pemerintah pusat memahami hubungan tersebut sebagai asas otonomi terhad. Sedangan daerah memahami sebagai asas otonomi luas yang memberikan perhatian lebih kepada hak asal usul daerah yang bersifat khas. Perbezaan pemahaman ini menyebabkan wujudnya persaingan kuasa dan pengaruh antara kekuatan politik pusat dengan daerah. Hal ini berlaku pada hampir semua aspek, termasuk juga pemilihan pimpinan tertinggi di daerah (gabenor). Dengan mempergunakan kaedah kajian historical narrative and political analysis Propinsi Sumatra Barat dipilih sebagai kajian kes dalam penyelidikan ini untuk dapat …

The Subsidization Of Emperor Mines Limited, Roman Grynberg, Peter Fulcher, Peter Dryden Jun 1997

The Subsidization Of Emperor Mines Limited, Roman Grynberg, Peter Fulcher, Peter Dryden

Pacific Studies

The relationship existing between the Emperor group of companies and the government of Fiji is examined over a forty-year period. During a substantial part of this time the company has been subsidized by the state. Focus is on one particular period, beginning in the early 1980s when the company received taxfree status for its gold-mining operations in Fiji. The study attempts to quantify the value of subsidies offered to Emperor Mines Limited under the terms of the Vatukoula tax agreement between the state and the mining company. The authors argue that by the standards of gold-mining taxation agreements in developing …

Including Migration In The Development Calculus: The Dominican Republic And Other Caribbean Countries, Sherrie Baver Jan 1995

Including Migration In The Development Calculus: The Dominican Republic And Other Caribbean Countries, Sherrie Baver

Publications and Research

Study of development in the Caribbean Basin is incomplete with- out considering the socioeconomic impact of international labor migration on this region, which is defined here as including Mexico, the Carib- bean archipelago, Central America, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. Most of the seven books under review deal with the specific case of the Dominican Republic and in doing so bring new theoretical sophistication and depth to examining the link between migration and development. In this way, they expand understanding of the present-day Dominican reality, which involves massive migration by Dominicans to the United States-mainly to New York but also …
