| Summary/Abstract |
While the validity of categories like 'First' and 'Third' World or 'North' and 'South' has been increasingly questioned, there have been few attempts to consider how learning between North and South might be conceived. Drawing on a range of perspectives from development and postcolonial scholarship, this paper argues for the creative possibility of learning between different contexts. This involves a conceptualisation of learning that is at once ethical and indirect: ethical because it transcends a liberal integration of subaltern knowledge, and indirect because it transcends a rationalist tendency to limit learning to direct knowledge transfer between places perceived as 'similar'. This challenge requires a consistent interrogation of the epistemic and institutional basis and implications of the North - South divide, and an insistence on developing progressive conceptions of learning.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper, completed as Ankara was considering extending its green light to cross-border military operations in northern Iraq, will explore a range of possible outcomes for Iraq, and Ankara's stakes in and policy preferences for Iraq and particularly northern Iraq. It will consider the aspirations of Iraq's Kurds, and the domestic, regional and international constraints on both Iraq's Kurds and Turkey. A range of alternative policy approaches available to Ankara will be discussed, and their implications assessed. The paper will argue that, whatever the outcome for Iraq overall, a high degree of Iraqi Kurdish independence will be an unavoidable feature of the region's political arrangements. Ankara's adjustment to this reality will be difficult.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article reveals the transformation of Kazakh music through the tamada in Bayan-Ölgii Province in Mongolia in the post-socialist period. The tamada (master of ceremonies) is an office common across Central Asia, the Caucasus and Russia. In Bayan-Ölgii, where 90% of the population is Kazakh, weddings have been held in a large hall in the town since the 2000s. The tamada has played a central role in these events, in the playing of music. This article focuses on the history of activities of the tamada and shows that they not only have a role in advancing programmes in wedding ceremonies but also form the contents of these events. In addition, tamada play popular songs using new technology, which has prompted the transformation of music in weddings.
