“It's Nakba, not a party”: re-stating the (continued) legacy of the Oslo accords / Sen, Somdeep   Journal Article
Sen, Somdeep Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Two decades later, how should we conceptualize the relevance of the Oslo Accords today? This article reconstitutes our understanding of the Accords through three parameters and purports that the legacy of the Interim Agreement is one that oscillates between what it has failed to achieve with regard to the Palestinian quest for statehood and what it continues to do as a mechanism influencing the “brand” Palestinian politics that can be practiced (uninhibitedly) within the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt). In this way, charting the path for future research, this article concludes that any subsequent studies on Palestinian politics and political behavior would need to account for both what the Accords has not done and what it continues to do.

Zivanović, M. Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract AFTER the end of the Jassy-Chisinau operation that liberated Romania and Bulgaria in September 1944, Red Army units reached the border of the former Yugoslavia. On September 28, a major offensive began that resulted in the liberation of Belgrade on October 20. The offensive was followed by military operations to cross the Danube River and take and hold the bridgehead, known as the Battle of Batina (the biggest battle in Yugoslavia during World War II), and then battles on the Syrmian Front, which was broken in April 1945.

History, slavery, and liberation / Powell, Eve M. Troutt   Journal Article
Powell, Eve M. Troutt Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract Last spring, while Tunisians and Egyptians erupted in the most determined and optimistic political protest movements seen in two generations, southern Sudanese prepared to secede. And in July, after months of watching dramatic images from the demonstrators in Tahrir Square, the world was presented with pictures of a new country with a beautiful, colorful new flag, of thousands of people who had voted into existence the Republic of South Sudan. On Al-Jazeera, CNN, and BBC, interviews with southern Sudanese revealed the profound relief and freedom that these new citizens felt as they repeated the word "liberation" to describe their feelings in this heady moment of independence.

Initiating insurgencies abroad: French plans to 'chouannise' Britain and Ireland, 1793-1798 / Kleinman, Sylvie   Journal Article
Kleinman, Sylvie Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Secret French plans to launch guerrilla-style raids on the British Isles devised in the spring of 1796 were referred to as 'chouanneries'. The name and concept behind these small-war operations were modelled on the irregular tactics used by the Chouan rebels in the Vendée, which the French state army had brutally quashed, but some wished to transfer into their institutional practice. Part of France's ongoing military strategy in the war against Britain, which included fomenting insurrection in Ireland, these irregular operations were to be manned partially by pardoned deserters and released convicts and prisoners of war. Of these, only Tate's brief invasion of Wales in 1797 was realised, but the surviving plans provide insightful historical lessons into an Anglophobic mindset shared by a small network of practitioners and policy deciders on the effectiveness of such shock and awe tactics. Largely motivated by the desire to take revenge for Britain's support of counter-revolutionaries in the Vendée, these plans could more aptly be referred to as counter-'chouanneries'.

Pedagogy of peacebuilding: infrapolitics, resistance, and liberation / Richmond, Oliver P   Journal Article
Richmond, Oliver P Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract A post-liberal peace engages with the politics of hybridity emerging from a mixture of contextual and international social, political, economic, cultural, and historical dynamics of peace. It represents an attempt to escape liberal enclosure and distant administration as well as contextual forms of violence in post-conflict zones-from Bosnia Herzegovina to Afghanistan. Critical agency as a form of resistance aimed at liberation from the structures of conflict, and structural violence-wherever they lie-rather than solely relying on external norms and capacity, is key. From this tension, a range of "local," transversal, and transnational agencies can be uncovered in many peacebuilding or statebuilding contexts, which may resist, modify, or co-opt intervention in unexpected ways. A hybrid form of peace emerges from this agonistic process, which points to an understanding of peacebuilding-as-liberation. Rather than producing subjects, this enables subjects to produce peace.

People power in the era of global crisis / Gills, Barry K; Gray, Kevin   Journal Article
Gills, Barry K Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract This article examines the relationship between oppression, injustice, and liberation both theoretically and practically and in relation to contemporary global events and political history. The struggle for human freedom and liberation from structures of oppression and exploitation, and the relation to democracy and to the agents of social change, is the central subject of the analysis. The article summarises the critical analyses of the contributors to this collection, who examine the past several decades of `People Power' via popular struggles for substantive democratisation, and assess both the obstacles and achievements of these movements in a context of global, regional, and national political economic tendencies. The authors revisit the theses of `Low Intensity Democracy', which appeared in the early 1990s, in light of the recent upsurge of popular protest and rebellion in the context of an on-going global crisis.

Radical Mothering as a Pathway to Liberation / Williams, Mai’a   Journal Article
Williams, Mai’a Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract I weave several threads in this essay, including the history of obstetrics and traditional Black midwifery, the devastating statistics of Black infant and maternal mortality rates, the experiences of eastern Congolese mama activists, the written and lived testimonies of Black North American mama activists, and my personal narratives to illustrate that the practice of mothering is fundamental to creating co-liberatory revolutionary movements and societies. This essay shows how mama activists, in particular Black mama activists, are taking great risks to their lives in the face of white patriarchal structures and in the midst of the ‘afterlife of slavery’ in order to honour the fallen and create a more just future. It also questions scholar-activists as to how they, whose scholarship is built off of the work of these mama activists, redistribute the life and death risk that mama activists shoulder to create the just world scholar-activists claim to desire.

Sovereignty, security, psychiatry: liberation and the failure of mental health governance in Iraq / Howell, Alison   Journal Article
Howell, Alison Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract This article examines how psychiatry has been used as a technology of security in post-'liberation' Iraq. Drawing on Foucault and Foucauldian work on the history and sociology of medicine, it begins by tracing how, from the 19th century onwards, psychiatry has instantiated its authority through a claim to provide social security within national spaces, both through methods of sovereign confinement and through liberation and governance. Arguing that the various 'psy' disciplines - and medicine more generally - are increasingly used as technologies of security internationally, the article examines psychiatric practice in Iraq, where patients in the Al Rashad psychiatric institution were accidentally liberated from their confinement by US Marines in 2003. Iraq's 'mentally ill' were initially considered a manageable security threat and thus subject to liberal community governance efforts. Yet, after the so-called suicide bombing of two pet markets in 2008, reportedly by former Al Rashad patients, those deemed 'mentally ill' and others associated with them were once again made subject to sovereign confinement, marking a failure in liberal governance. Thus, this article seeks to explore some of the complex lines connecting sovereignty,

'The Liberation of Bodoland': Tea, Forestry and Tribal Entrapment in Western Assam / Vandekerckhove, Nel; Suykens, Bert   Journal Article
Vandekerckhove, Nel Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract Bodoland, located in western Assam, has been a theatre for insurgencies since the mid 1980s. Too often, migration has been the paradigmatic framework to analyse not only this, but most conflicts, raging in Assam. In this article we argue that migration in itself is insufficient to understand the problems in Bodoland. Instead, we focus on forestry and tea estates, and contend that they, forming important restrictive structures, caused tribal entrapment, finally leading to violence. Moreover, we claim that during the conflict a shift in control over these structures occurred, changing the livelihood arithmetic of the involved communities. Finally, we discuss both the restraints and opportunities of the BTC/BTAD (Bodoland Territorial Council/Bodoland Territorial Administrative District)-the result of the peace process-and warn that the escape from entrapment for the Bodo could lead to the entrapment of other communities in the area.

Thirty years on: Iran's silent revolution / Marsh, Steve   Journal Article
Marsh, Steve Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract 2009 is the thirtieth anniversary of the Iranian Revolution. In 2006 the Bush administration ranked Iran as posing arguably the greatest single threat to America. And throughout 2008 that administration insisted all options were open in dealing with Iran, including preventative strikes. Yet, unlike its decisive intervention to establish Iran as a client state in the 1950s, the US has thus far been unable to force the changes it desires in and from Iran's leadership. This article argues that to help understand this situation it is important to recognize that the Iranian Revolution was and remains nurtured by a contemporaneous "silent revolution" in the international oil industry, even if the Ahmadinejad regime's economic policies especially threaten currently to squander some of the potential afforded by it.

When revolutionaries grow old: the Museveni babies and the slow death of the liberation / Reuss, Anna; Titeca, Kristof   Journal Article
Titeca, Kristof Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The liberation struggle plays a crucial role in providing legitimacy for post-liberation regimes. This was the case for the Museveni regime, for whom the liberation argument provided strong moral authority, and a legitimising foundation for its patronage and coercion strategies. But what happens when the liberation argument ‘grows old’, i.e. when the liberation generation elite starts to die or defect, and the young population is no longer impressed by the liberation argument? This article argues that in response to this changing situation, the Museveni regime almost exclusively relies on patronage and coercion, yet is increasingly devoid of the legitimising liberation foundation.
