China, Africa and Aid
The document discusses China's increasing economic engagement with Africa. It highlights China's commitments made at the Beijing Summit to double aid, provide duty-free access to African exports, set up investment funds, and build schools and hospitals. It notes that China's Export-Import Bank is expected to commit $20 billion over 3 years for Chinese business in Africa, compared to $17 billion from the World Bank. However, some argue China only targets countries with natural resources, does not ensure proper use of funds, and could worsen corruption. African leaders appreciate China's focus on infrastructure but some Western donors criticize China's non-interference and "no strings attached" approach.

Democratic Governance and the Challenge of State Reconstruction in Africa: Re...
The document discusses democratic governance and challenges of state reconstruction in Africa. It argues that democratic governance is critical for legitimacy and viability of states. It reviews indicators and benchmarks for democracy and good governance in NEPAD's peer review mechanism. Some key points made include:
- Governance reforms since 1990 have shown progress but more work is needed for transparent, trusted, and accountable states.
- Constitutions should express the will of the people, not just validate power, but many post-colonial constitutions sanctioned unaccountable power.
- There is now a shift toward "constitutionalism" where constitutions are tools for consensus and reflect society, not just state power.
- "Governance"
Civil Society And Democracy In Africa
This document summarizes a lecture about civil society and democracy in Africa. It discusses how democracy can translate to development, and how democracy can benefit citizens. It notes that Africa has a contested notion of the "nation state" and that developing civil society can counter traditional tensions. For democracy to function properly, a country needs political parties, separation of powers, an independent media, control over the military, freedom of expression, and rule of law. Strong leadership is also important to avoid failures in democracy and develop productive economies, good governance, and a just society.
Analysis of the first past -the-post electoral system
The document analyzes Malawi's first-past-the-post electoral system and discusses alternatives. It defines electoral systems and outlines Malawi's system, which uses single-member constituencies. While this provides clear winners, it can result in presidents elected by a minority and wasted votes. The document also discusses a two-round system as an alternative that could provide presidents with majority support and greater legitimacy. It suggests this system, combined with quotas, may better support women's representation and inclusion.
C3 - Waves of Democratisation
This document discusses the different waves of democratization that have occurred globally since the 1820s. It outlines the key features and timeline of the first wave from 1828-1926, which saw the adoption of universal suffrage in many countries beginning with the US in 1828. It then describes the reverse wave from 1922-1942 that led to the rise of authoritarian regimes in places like Germany, Italy and Spain. The second wave from 1943-1962 and its reverse from 1958-1972 which saw both new democracies and military interventions are also examined. Finally, it analyzes the ongoing third wave since 1974 and factors like economic development and culture that influence democratization.
3rd sem class notes on globalisation
- Anthony Giddens defines globalization as the intensification of worldwide social relations that connects distant localities such that local events are shaped by distant events and vice versa.
- Giddens identifies four dimensions of globalization: the world capitalist economy, the nation-state system, the world military order, and industrial development.
- Postcolonialism consists of reactions to and analyses of colonialism's cultural legacy with the goal of addressing its residual effects and promoting mutual respect between cultures.

Article of the Week - Resource Curse
The document discusses the resource curse phenomenon where significant natural resource reserves can negatively impact long-term economic growth. It describes how overvalued currency, crowding out of other sectors, and rent-seeking behavior encouraged by resource revenues can retard development. However, countries like Australia and Norway have avoided these issues through strong institutions, fiscal discipline, and sovereign wealth funds. The document also examines how Indonesia has grown its economy despite resource dependence and how its decentralized system distributing resource revenues to regions risks a "regional resource curse" through weaker governance in recipient areas.
Authoritarianism_ Forms of government
The document discusses the key characteristics and functions of authoritarian regimes. It states that authoritarian regimes:
1) Concentrate political power in the hands of a small group of leaders rather than through democratic elections.
2) Do not have an ideology driving their rule, but instead focus on maintaining power and enriching leaders at the expense of citizens.
3) Grant some economic and cultural freedoms as long as the authoritarian rule is not threatened. The main goal is preserving the rule and wealth of the leaders.
Armed Conflicts In Africa
Armed conflicts in Africa over the past 15 years have cost nearly $300 billion that could have been used to alleviate poverty and improve health and education. Ongoing conflicts have led to increased infant mortality, malnutrition, illiteracy, and decreased life expectancy and access to healthcare. Child soldiers have been involved in 21 ongoing armed conflicts worldwide, especially in Africa, where children as young as 9 have fought and been forced to commit atrocities against their own communities. Efforts to curb the use of child soldiers include international agreements and demobilization programs, but more funding is needed for effective, long-term reintegration support.
Election Systems
The document discusses different election systems used around the world, focusing on those used in Canada. It describes the First Past the Post system used in Canada, which involves dividing the country into electoral districts and having each district elect a Member of Parliament. It notes some advantages like simplicity but also disadvantages like not proportionally representing the popular vote. It then discusses some alternative systems like run-off voting and proportional representation, providing examples of how they could lead to different electoral outcomes than the current First Past the Post system in Canada.
Traditional African Society
Traditional African societies were based around kinship groups like extended families rather than strong centralized governments. Bantu migrations helped spread agriculture and herding across the continent. There was immense diversity with over 1000 languages and tribes. Social structures ranged from large kingdoms to small states organized by kinship, gender, age, and lineage. Family, age groups, religion, land ownership, and slavery were all important community institutions before colonial influence.
Some Major Political Ideologies

Class X Political Science - 5 Popular Struggles and Movements
The document summarizes two popular struggles - one in Nepal in 2006 that restored democracy, and one in Bolivia in 2000 over water privatization. In Nepal, a seven party alliance led massive protests that forced the king to concede power to an elected parliament. In Bolivia, increased water prices led to strikes and protests that forced a private company to leave and water prices to decrease. Both instances showed the power of mass mobilization and political organization to influence governments and policies.
4 Globalisation Economic Powerpoint
Globalization refers to the increasing integration and interdependence of economies, societies, and cultures around the world through cross-border movement of goods, services, technology, and ideas. While it leads to greater cultural integration and homogenization in some ways, geography remains important and different places experience globalization differently. Globalization is driven by factors like reduced transportation and communication costs but is uneven across countries and regions as local characteristics interact with broader global processes.
Nationalism
Nationalism is based on the idea that the nation is the central principle of political organization. There are differing views on what constitutes the basis for national identity, with primordial nationalists arguing it is based on common descent and culture, while civic nationalists see it as shared civic values and willingness to participate in the political community. Nationalism legitimizes government authority as representing popular self-government by and for the people of the nation. It addresses issues of collective identity and forges social bonds among the members of the nation.

It lists improved standards of living, increased competition among nations, and widening income gaps as economic impacts. Socially, it mentions increased awareness of foreign cultures and loss of local culture. Environmentally, it notes environmental degradation and the need for environmental management. The document provides potential exam questions about these different impacts and their significance.
The Causes and Effects of Globalisation
Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness of economies and societies around the world through trade and information sharing. There are three main types - economic, social, and political. Key drivers of globalization include improved communications like the internet, improved transportation infrastructure, free trade agreements, global banking, and the growth of multinational corporations. The effects of globalization include a changed global food supply, increased outsourcing and less job security in some countries, potential environmental damage from increased trade and transport, homogenization of cultures, and a rise in anti-globalization protests.

Transformation of Sokoto Caliphate by Sheik Usman Danfodiyo: A Social Thought...
Usman Danfodiyo was an 18th century Fulani scholar and reformer who transformed the Sokoto Caliphate in what is now northern Nigeria through jihad from 1804-1808. He objected to non-Islamic practices of Hausa leaders and criticized their rule. In 1804, he and his followers were forced to flee and declared jihad against the Hausa chiefs. One by one the Hausa states fell to Danfodiyo's Fulani forces and were organized into emirates to implement Islamic social, legal, and religious ideas as Danfodiyo interpreted them. The caliphate expanded Islam's influence throughout West Africa and contributed to political changes in neighboring regions
South Sudan independence and the corrutpion challenges to overcome
South Sudan faces many challenges as the world's newest nation following its independence from Sudan in 2011. Corruption poses a major threat, with many former fighters now becoming wealthy overnight through misuse of public funds, while much of the population remains in poverty. The country receives $2 billion annually from oil revenues but there is little development to show for it. President Kiir has pledged to fight corruption but taken little concrete action. Lessons from other post-conflict nations like East Timor and Kosovo show the difficulties of nation-building and gaining full international recognition. Strong anti-corruption reforms will be needed for South Sudan to achieve stability and prosperity.
Child Soldiers In Uganda
The document discusses the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in Uganda. It began as a rebel group fighting the Ugandan government but became known for brutal tactics like kidnapping children to be soldiers or sex slaves. The LRA is led by Joseph Kony and despite efforts, the conflict has continued for over 25 years across multiple central African countries. The longevity of the LRA is largely attributed to Kony's leadership and belief that he communicates with spirits. While the LRA never had popular support, it has managed to survive with only a few hundred remaining fighters through Kony's mystical aura over his troops.
South Sudan Peace Process & Peace Policies
The aim of this study was to critically analyse the South Sudanese peace policy framework which has been expressed in its post-independence peace and development policies. The study also aimed at analyzing the nexus between peacebuilding and broader development agenda and at identifying types of discourses, beliefs, and ideologies that have been adopted or relinquished in the South Sudanese peacebuilding framework. Any ideological impact of external factors in influencing peace policies was also critically analysed.
Four policy documents namely the Comprehensive Peace Agreement 2005, the South Sudan Development Plan 2011-2013, the South Sudan Peace and Reconciliation Strategy 2013-2015 and the Comprehensive Strategic Dimensions for Healing, Peace and Reconciliation 2013 were selected and critically analysed using Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model for Critical Discourse Analysis: (1) linguistic features and texts, (2) interdiscursivity, and (3) explanation of wider social, political, historical and cultural contexts.
Key theoretical concepts surrounding peacebuilding have been discussed starting from the Kantian notion of perpetual peace and continuing to modern ideas of democratic peace theory, negative-positive peace, international engagement, and liberal peacebuilding. More recent concepts of new wars and transitional justice systems have been discussed as well.
The study identifies altogether six discourses that are maintained through the policy documents. The identified discourses are the capitalist corporate discourse, the curative peace discourse, the development aid/dependency discourse, the good-governance discourse, the religious discourse, and the reconciliation discourse.
The findings of this study suggest that the South Sudanese peacebuilding framework is based on building peace primarily through security measures and institutional strengthening while paying less attention to bottom-up approaches and people’s subjective wellbeing. In addition, the policy documents studied do not envision any form of transitional justice mechanism and lack a comprehensive national reconciliation program. This is likely to deepen pervasive impunity and result in further divisions, more belligerencies, and bloodshed in the country.
The study also finds that the South Sudanese peace policy framework is heavily influenced by the so-called Western idea of liberal peacebuilding that aims to promote liberal economy, Western-style democracy, marketization, and globalization. Though the policy documents emphasize on democracy, good governance, and human rights, their implementation modality is not clear. In addition, the policy documents lack coherency, one document prioritising one theme while another adopting a completely different approach, and the nexus between peacebuilding and broader development is poorly established.

Which Revolution Will Succeed in Sudan?
This is the complete transcript of the Westminster talk: "Which Revolution Will Succeed in Sudan?"
A Sudanese intellectual leader recently said that, after the ouster of strongman Omar al-Bashir in April, the current turmoil in that country presents “a time of great hopes and terrifying fears.” The fear was manifest on June 3rd, when security forces fired on protestors, killing and injuring scores.

Rt. Reverend Andudu Adam Elnail
The Rt. Reverend Andudu Adam Elnail, Bishop of Nuba Mountains, has two important distinctions as a bishop in the Episcopal Church of Sudan. The first is that he was the youngest bishop ever ordained in the entire Anglican Communion. The second is that he is the bishop of a region that has experienced genocidal jihad twice within two decades.
Bishop Andudu leads the diocese in the Khartoum-targeted region, the Nuba Mountains, which the State Department calls by its Arab-colonized name, “South Kordofan.” The Nuba have been victims of ethnic cleansing, aerial bombardment, scorched earth destruction, and other methods of genocide first during the Sudan Civil War and then again beginning in 2011. In spite of this, the church in the Nuba Mountains continues to grow. Bishop Andudu has baptized and confirmed thousands of new converts so far this year.
Ibrahim Ahmed
Ibrahim Ahmed is from the Beja people group in eastern Sudan. He is the co-founder of the Beja Organization for Human Rights and Development and of the American Mideast Coalition for Democracy.

African Union And Conflict Resolution In Africa
The document discusses the role of the African Union (AU) in conflict resolution in Africa. It examines AU's rationales, principles and institutions for conflict management. The immediate cause of conflicts is Africa's mono-cultural political economies that prioritize wealth accumulation over citizens' needs. The remote cause is the arbitrary borders drawn by European colonizers that combined diverse ethnic groups and worsened inter-ethnic tensions. While AU has played an important role in resolving conflicts, it faces limitations from a lack of financial resources and technical capacity. The document recommends AU allocate more of its budget to rapidly respond to emerging conflicts.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

The Fragility of Sudan
- 1. N E W B O O K I N F O R M AT I O N THE FRAGILITY OF SUDAN by Dr Joseph O. Abulemoi ISBN: 978-1-85756-781-6 Price: £16.95 Pages: 366 Paperback 2011 In 2005, the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) was signed in Kenya between the National Congress Party and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement. The intention of the agreement was to bring peace to Sudan after more than half a century of civil war, but has it succeeded? In this fascinating study, Dr Joseph O. Abulemoi, author of two previous works on Africa and Sudan, investigates the causes of the North–South Sudan conflict from a variety of viewpoints, including historical, political and social perspectives. He discusses the CPA and its relationship with today’s post-conflict Sudan, the weaknesses of the Agreement and the challenges facing its implementation. He also explains why he feels the CPA may result in the disintegration of Sudan and proposes an alternative solution. This compelling discussion of the CPA and its place in Sudanese politics will interest students of Sudanese history, as well as anyone who wishes to learn more about the recent history of the region. About the Author Born in 1964, Dr Abulemoi studied and lived in Sudan until 1996, when he was forced to leave by the Islamist government. He went into exile in Jordan and eventually resettled in the UK in 1999, where he obtained a diploma in justice and peace studies at the London Missionary Institute in 2002, an MA in international relations at London Metropolitan University in 2005 and a PhD in the Sudanese CPA in 2009. Dr Abulemoi has lectured on tribalism and politics in Africa and has taught Sudanese history in Khartoum, Sudan. Janus Publishing Company Ltd. 105-107 Gloucester Place, London W1U 6BY.
