Amani Mashinani Conflict Transformation Model: Bishop Korir’S Legacy On Peace And Reconciliation, Elias O. Opongo, S.J
The Journal of Social Encounters
This chapter is about the story of the late Bishop Cornelius Kipng’eno Arap Korir who stood up for peace and reconciliation in the midst of numerous interethnic conflicts. Bishop Korir, who was then the bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Eldoret, lived the experience of inter-ethnic violence between the Marakwet, Pokot, Kikuyu, and the Kalenjin communities. As a person from the Kalenjin ethnic community, he had to learn to distant himself from the abrasive political rhetoric and violent actions and embrace the path of the Gospel of Jesus instead. He started what he called Amani Mashinani (Kiswahili for 'peace at …

Memorializing The Work Of Bishop Cornelius Korir In Advancing Grassroots Peacebuilding In Kenya: Perspectives On Amani Mashinani, Eddah M. Mutua
The Journal of Social Encounters
This special commemoration feature of Journal of Social Encounters focuses on the work of the late Bishop Cornelius Korir in advancing grassroots peacebuilding in North Rift region of Kenya. Bishop Korir is credited for developing a grassroots peacebuilding model popularly known as Amani Mashinani (Peace at the Grassroots) which brings together warring communities to collectively participate in activities geared at promoting peace. In this context, grassroots peacebuilding is understood in the same vein as locally led peacebuilding which is “an approach in which the people involved in, and most affected by, violent conflict work together to create and enact their …

Sport Diplomacy And Uk Soft Power: The Case Of Mount Everest, Richard Woodward
Articles
Sport is widely acknowledged as an important contributor to the United Kingdom’s soft power resources. This article aims to broaden and deepen our understanding of sport and soft power in the United Kingdom through a case study of British expeditions to, and the eventual conquest of, Mount Everest. Based on original archival research, the article demonstrates that British state institutions intervened systematically and strategically to expedite, and massage the story of, the ascent of Everest to burnish British prestige and present a favourable image to the world. In doing so, the article provides evidence that sport has been intrinsic to …

Pro-Life Ends At Birth: Race As A Primary Driver Of State Abortion And Concurrent Natalist Policy, Tasha Danner
University Honors Theses
The year 2019 saw the most restrictive state abortion policies introduced and passed since Roe v Wade. The same states passing this legislation are often states also cutting funding for policies that improve the health and socio-economic mobility of mothers and children, which disproportionately affects African-American residents of those states. Outside of reproductive justice advocacy, there is not much research on the role that race plays in the introduction and passing of state abortion policy. I examine and analyze the role of racial prejudice in passing restrictive abortion policy in southern states. Using historical context in southern states, a survey …

Film merupakan media yang menggambarkan praktik wacana melalui penanaman kekuasaan dan ideologi. Oleh karena itu, film selalu berada dalam ruang persaingan praktik pendefinisian, pemosisian dan pengontrolan khalayak. Munculnya film-film religi bertema Islam di Indonesia juga tidak terlepas dari praktik wacana tersebut. Lebih dari satu dekade, film religi yang bercerita tentang Islam dan dinamikanya telah mampu memberikan warna bagi dunia perfilman dan juga bagi perkembangan Islam itu sendiri. Kajian dalam tulisan ini merupakan perluasan kajian tentang teks film yang bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi, menganalisis dan merumuskan bagaimana Islam dalam konteks persaingan politik Indonesia direpresentasikan melalui narasi film.

Identity Politics In The 2019 Indonesian General Elections: Its Significance And Limitation, Djayadi Hanan
Jurnal Wacana Politik
Identity politics was significant in 2019 Indonesian general elections. The result of the election however, seems to show that identity was only significant in presidential but not in legislative election. Given that the legislative and presidential elections are conducted concurrently, it is logical to assume that what is significant in the presidential election will also be significant for the legislative election. This paper tries to briefly answer several questions. Is identity politics really rising? Why does it seem to be significant only in the presidential and not the legislative election? If identity politics in the presidential election is important, assuming …

Jurnal Wacana Politik
Tingkat elektabilitas merupakan informasi yang sangat penting bagi peserta pemilihan umum (pemilu) baik calon legislatif maupun eksekutif. Selama ini, elektabilitas seorang kandidat diukur melalui survei yang dilakukan beberapa waktu sebelum masa tenang pemilihan. Selain membutuhkan biaya yang besar, terdapat rentang waktu antara survei dengan hari pemungutan suara sehingga hasilnya berpotensi bias. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan sebuah metode alternatif yang dapat digunakan sebagai pembanding dari hasil survei elektabilitas. Penelitian dengan memanfaatkan informasi melalui media sosial menjadi semakin relevan seiring dengan semakin banyaknya pengguna media sosial di Indonesia. Salah satu pendekatan yang cukup menjanjikan dalam mengukur elektabilitas peserta pemilu dengan memanfaatkan media …

ikir publik menjadi arus baru di Aceh setelah tsunami. Dalam perkembangannya, zikir digunakan oleh elit politik baik ketika pilkada sebagai strategi kampanye, maupun sebagai kebijakan populis dalam menjalankan pemerintahan. Begitu pula Pemerintah Kota Banda Aceh periode 2017-2022 yang menjadikan zikir sebagai salah satu program utama yang kemudian diberi nama “zikir gemilang“. Penelitian ini tertarik untuk melihat implementasi zikir ini apakah cenderung sebagai wacana populis atau kebijakan publik. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif lewat metode wawancara semi struktur dan bola salju terhadap sejumlah informan kunci. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun pemahaman ulang terhadap fenomena zikir dari wacana ke aksi terjadi, …

Uniquely Okinawan: Determining Identity During The U.S. Wartime Occupation, Courtney A. Short
History
When the U.S. military landed on the shores of Okinawa in 1945, they faced not only a fierce and battle-tested Japanese force, but also 463,000 Okinawan inhabitants. Larger than any other civilian population encountered by the Americans during previous campaigns throughout the Pacific islands, the people of Okinawa also had a unique and complex historical and political relationship with Japan. Okinawa never experienced subjugation as a colony, yet its acceptance as a prefecture did not yield equal treatment for the people because of their Ryukyuan heritage. As the U.S. military prepared for the Battle of Okinawa, they faced dangerous uncertainty …

Crimmigrant Nations: Resurgent Nationalism And The Closing Of Borders [Table Of Contents], Robert Koulish, Martje Van Der Woude

As the distinction between domestic and international is increasingly blurred along with the line between internal and external borders, migrants—particularly people of color—have become emblematic of the hybrid threat both to national security and sovereignty and to safety and order inside the state. From building walls and fences, overcrowding detention facilities, and beefing up border policing and border controls, a new narrative has arrived that has migrants assume the risk for government sponsored degradation, misery, and death. Crimmigrant Nationsexamines the parallel rise of anti-immigrant sentiment and right-wing populism in both the United States and Europe to offer an unprecedented …

Linking Gender, Language, And Partisanship: Developing A Database Of Masculine And Feminine Words, Damon C. Roberts, Stephen M. Utych

Seemingly, gender, language, and partisanship are intertwined concepts. We believe that the use of gendered language in political settings may be used strategically by political elites. The purpose of this paper is to craft a tool for scholars to test the interconnection between politics, gender, and language—what we refer to as being the gendered language and partisanship nexus. We test our prediction using original word rating data. From our test, we find significant variation across seven hundred words in ratings as masculine and feminine and discover that words rated as masculine are more likely to be rated as dominant and …

How Do Populist Voters Rate Their Political Leaders? Comparing Citizen Assessments In Three Jurisdictions, Gerald Seijts, Cristine De Clercy
Political Science Publications
Drawing from the field of management studies, we explore how a sample of voters in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom use a leader character framework to judge political leadership. We ask, how do voters actually assess the character of their current leaders? And, in light of the populist zeitgeist, do people who hold a populist attitude differ markedly in how they judge the character of political leaders? Our results show that voters generally consider character important. However, voters who lean toward populism believe character matters less in political leadership than individuals who scored low on the populism …

Drejtësia tranzicionale në vendet e dala nga lufta nënkupton edhe kompensime për të mbijetuarit e luftës, por jo të gjitha vendet ofrojnë këtë lloj të ndihmës. Kompensimi për kategoritë e viktimave civile të luftës së vitit 1998-1999 në Kosovë është mjeti më i zakonshëm i drejtësisë.
