Teirilä, Olli J Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract The recent conflict in the Sahel area is another case where the nexus of terrorism and organized crime causes challenges to the international community. Comparing the situation with that of the Andean region brings forth the challenges faced when dealing with this type of conflict: the states' weak presence in the remote regions, the insurgents' ability to offer income and "security" to the people, immediate threat to international investments, unresolved political/regional issues, the marriage of convenience of insurgents/terrorists and organized crime, internal divisions of the insurgent groups and also ideologies surviving or suffering after the elimination of their leaders

Immigration as a political issue in Denmark and Sweden / Green-Pedersen, Christoffer; Krogstrup, Jesper   Journal Article
Green-Pedersen, Christoffer Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract Abstract. Studies of party politics and party competition in West European democracies all point to diversification. Non-economic issues such as the environment, refugees and immigrants or law and order have become increasingly central to party politics. However, there has been surprisingly little interest in explaining variation across time and countries concerning which issues actually become central to party competition. From the sparse literature, two general answers can be discerned. One is societal, focusing on mass media coverage, public opinion and the development of the policy problems related to the issue. The other focuses on the structure of party competition itself - more precisely on the incentives for different parties in drawing attention to different issues. This study stresses the importance of the latter based on a study of the immigration issue in Denmark and Sweden. Party political attention to this issue in the 1990s has been considerably stronger in Denmark than in Sweden. This can be explained by the different strategic situation of the main stream right-wing parties in the two countries. Focusing on the immigrant issue easily leads to a conflict with the centre-right, especially social liberal parties. In Sweden, such a conflict would undermine mainstream right-wing attempts at winning government power. In Denmark, the Social Liberals governed with the Social Democrats in the 1990s, which made it attractive for the main stream right-wing parties to focus on the issue in order to win government power based on the support of radical right-wing parties

Less than special: by using Para SF officers as mere commandos, the army is wasting human resource and money / Sawhney, Pravin   Journal Article
Sawhney, Pravin Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Special Forces (SF) in India have an existential dilemma. On the one hand the absolute defensive approach of the government to national security makes SF unnecessary. On the other hand senior military commanders rarely understand that special operations are qualitatively different from regular warfare, not a sub-category of it. Talks, therefore, of raising SF command is putting the cart before the horse. The need is to first resolve the fundamental issues at the political and military levels.

Summary/Abstract To the Government of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region: The Summary of Discussions on the Work of Opening Up Xinjiang has been perused and approved by Comrade Gu Mu. In line with the opinions of leading comrades, it is hereby printed and issued to you. Please study it and carry it out. Ever since the third plenary session of the eleventh party congress, Xinjiang has been politically stable and united and economic construction has developed rapidly. The industrial and agricultural gross output value of 1986 has more than doubled that of 1980. Agriculture and animal husbandry have had bumper harvests for ten consecutive years, and the region is more than self-sufficient in cereals, cotton, oil, and sugar crops. Import trade, use of foreign currency, and the tourist business have made significant progress. Airline and railway communications and transport conditions have seen constant improvement. Xinjiang has abundant resources and a vast, sparsely populated territory and has great potential for developing the economy and supporting national construction.

Politics of intercountry adoption: explaining variation in the legal requirements of Sub-Saharan African countries / Breuning, Marijke; Ishiyama, John   Journal Article
Breuning, Marijke Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract What determines whether a country has more or less restrictive policies regarding intercountry adoption? Despite the growing importance of intercountry adoption as a political issue, and as an explicitly human face of globalization, there is virtually no systematic empirical work on intercountry adoption. We introduce a measure of the restrictiveness of the adoption laws in Sub-Saharan African countries and test possible explanations for the variations in legal restrictions on intercountry adoption among these countries. Factors that are commonly cited as explanations for the restrictiveness of intercountry adoption policies do not hold up very well in our assessment. Openness to adoption is not determined by the severity of the orphan crisis or the AIDS crisis within the sending country, nor are democratic countries more responsive to the needs of their orphans. Additionally, African signatories to the Hague Convention, which aimed to increase transparency and accountability in intercountry adoption, tend to be among the most restrictive. On the other hand, a stronger connection with the global economy is associated with greater openness to intercountry adoption. We conclude with a discussion of the implications for orphans and for intercountry adoption.
