Abstract:

This paper describes the development of Congo since its beginnings until today and focuses on the influence of the Western world on the country. Congo was founded by the Belgian king Leopold II and became his personal colony. Leopold's regime was orientated on the expoitation of Congo's natural resources, above all rubber and ivory. The inhuman treatment of Africans caused international criticism and Leopold was forced to hand over the colony to Belgium. Under belgian rule the economic development of Congo started, even though congolese people were still considered second category citiziens. After gaining independence the country was caught in total chaos until the revolution by general Mobutu. After taking over the government, he ruled Congo for 32 years, supported by the West, and the country was systematically ruined. In 1997, during the first Congo war, Mobutu was overthrown by Laurent Kabila. One year later another war started and though it officialy ended in 2003, a regional conflict in Kivu is still going on. The motivation of armed groups is the mineral wealth of the region. Western companies are indirectly financing the conflict through importing conflict minerals.

Abstract:

In my diploma thesis I try for an objective evaluation and analysis of the history of the Democratic republic of the Congo since the year 1960, when the country gained its independence from Belgium, until the first years of the 21st century. The whole time period of 50 years of the existence of the country is divided into several intervals according to important events, which influenced the country's political development. Consequently one chapter of the thesis is devoted to each time period. In the conclusion of my thesis I try to evaluate the contemporary situation in the Democratic republic of the Congo and suggest solutions for the future.

Abstract:

The aim of the work Failed States in International Relations is the examination of this phenomenon regarding the terminological discrepancy, causes of the state fragility, security and social aspects and the various attitudes from the side of the international communities. A special part is dealing with so called "successfully failed states" where despite the obvious non-functioning the state is able to survive due to the revenues from the natural resources. The ?ndings are represented on the case study of the Democratic Republic of the Congo - a country with huge potential but miserable performance by now.

Abstract:

Diplom thesis discusses a question of influence of mineral resources on politics and economics in chosen countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. The paradox of low economic development of many resource rich countries significantly engaged in international trade is often discussed by economic experts. I decided to focus on Sub-Saharan Africa because I consider this region to be unable to fully use its potential for economic development despite being very rich in natural resources.Target of this thesis is to find out which natural resources exist in chosen countires, how the countries manage them, how successfull their economic development is, which problems they currently handle and how their current situation is related to their historic, cultural and politic background. For the purpose of my thesis I have chosen Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo and Botswana.

Král, Jakub. "Foreign Direct Investment into Mining in Africa." Master's thesis, Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze, 2015. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-264430.

Full text

Abstract:

The goal of this diploma thesis is to analyse the trend of foreign direct investment into mining industry in Africa. In this thesis, I focus solemnly on the extraction of minerals, excluding the oil and gas industry. The analysis looks at the FDI from a historical perspective in the new millennium up to the current situation, which is characteristic for low commodity prices, which subsequently depress the activities of mining corporations. Furthermore, the important part of the thesis is also the projection of future development of FDI, the analysis of the correlation between commodity prices and FDI development and the research of African investment environment. A brief case study regarding the real-life foreign direct investment into copper mining projects in Democratic Republic of the Congo is carried out in the end of this thesis. In this case study I present details about this project, however, also the professional opinion of co-head of mining division at Trafigura, Emmanuel Henry, on the investment environment in Africa in regard to the mining industry and his feelings about the future development of the investment.

Abstract:

Studiens syfte har varit att ta reda på varför det mångpartikulturen påverkar den politiska arenan i RD-Kongo. För att besvara frågan har studien använt sig av existerade teorier om partibildning i allmänhet och i DR-Kongo. Utifrån partiernas stadgar och kvalitativa intervjuer har studien kommit fram till många olika faktorer som påverkar mångpartikulturen i landet. Studiens resultat har visat att historiska-, institutionella-perspektivet, maktkamp och minskad partiidentifikation påverkar fenomenet. Politiskt spel och girighet har också visat sig ha påverkan på fenomenet. Etniska perspektivet och möjlighet att påverka har inte visat ha så stor påverkan.

Abstract:

Conflict related sexual violence is a phenomenon that has come to light since world war II, however it is only in recent years that conflict related sexual violence has been discussed in larger forums. In recent years the subject of Conflict related sexual violence has been researched and brought to light in media. This thesis aims to study the conflict related sexual violence in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The method applied on this thesis was a comparative feminist study. The theoretical framework used in this study is liberal feminism and radical feminism. In this study a comparison between the two feministic focuses has been the main object. The result of the study found that both radical feminism and liberal feminism can explain conflict related sexual violence. Radical feminism main concepts in their theory is sexual oppression that women face. Liberal feminism focus on inequality in the society between the sexes. In the result it was found that both perspectives of feminism could explain the sexual violence as something structural. There is inequality between the sexes in a societal level therefor sexual violence can be used as a way to maintain power.

Abstract:

Den här uppsatsen handlar om svenska tidningars rapportering om konflikterna och massvåldtäkterna i Demokratiska republiken Kongo, med ett syfte att kartlägga hur ofta tidningarna skriver om femicide. Med en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ metod har vi undersökt rapporteringen i Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet, Aftonbladet och Expressen under ett års tid, från den 18 november 2008 till den 18 november 2009. Vi valde dessa tidningar eftersom de är fyra av Sveriges största tidningar. Vi har valt att titta på hur mycket tidningarna skriver om kvinnor i DRK och hur de framställer kvinnan. Vi tror att ett ökat medieutrymme om konflikterna och massvåldtäkterna är av stor betydelse i förståelsen och medvetenheten av det femicide som pågår i DRK, vilket tidningarna kan bidra med till sina läsare.

Två frågeställningar som vi har utgått från är: Får konflikten och massvåldtäkterna tillräckligt utrymme? Och hur invecklad och komplex är rapporteringen av våldet mot kvinnorna?

Huvudresultatet visar att Expressen skrev minst om situationen, därefter Aftonbladet. Tidningen som skrev flest artiklar var Dagens Nyheter och sedan Svenska Dagbladet. Kvinnorna i DRK kommer sällan till tals i texterna utan istället är det andra personer som talar om och för dem. Ofta får kvinnan endast rollen som offer.

Abstract:

The Democratic Republic of Congo is a country that has a violent and long history as a european colony and has since then been affected by recurrent interethnic conflicts between different armed groups. In these interethnic conflicts, armed actors have used sexual violence against women and girls as a weapon of war. Based on the social constructivism theory, this study aims to identify underlaying historical and colonial factors that could explain conflict- related sexual violence against women and girls in present interethnic conflicts in the country. The purpose is furthermore to explain why women and girls are subjected to conflict-related sexual violence to a great extent and why the sexual violence continues. The study concludes that social interactions between individuals and the social context where it occurs helps to explain conflict-related sexual violence against women and girls in present interethnic conflicts in the country. Sexual violence against women and girls can be explained as an instrument of power that has been used by armed actors to promote their own interests, which has been done in similar ways since the colonial era. Sexual violence against women and girls can also be explained as a social construction that has been created as a result of the power relationship that exists between men and women. Furthermore, sexual violence against women and girls still occurs to a great extent because it continues to be used as an instrument of power and because of armed groups perception about women and girls worth in the Congolese society.

Abstract:

The Swedish Transport Administration manage nearly 4,000 railway bridges in different condition and age around the country. These bridges is in constant need of maintenance and requires continuous inspections. This thesis is designed as a damage investigation on a single-track railway bridge south of Solvarbo in Säter municipality. The railway bridge is in operation and serves over 10,000 trains a year, everything from speed trains to freight trains. The bridge is built as a beam bridge, simply supported over a road. The report is made in consultation with the company Reinertsen Sweden AB. An investigation of the bridge was carried out in 2013 by Reinertsen Sweden AB, which describes that the abutments lean onto the superstructure due to motion. The damage noted was that the movable bearings are seriously tilted, the superstructure is in contact with the breast wall and several cracks were found on the abutment. These damages were considered to affect the function of the structure and found needing further investigation to consider possible future actions. The objective of this thesis is to analyze how the bridge has changed since it was built and to find what may be the underlying causes to these changes. The report is aimed to constitute a foundation and a decision basis for further measures. To determine how the bridge has moved a surveying with a total station was performed. Thereafter updated drawings of the bridge were established and later compared with the existing original drawings. To understand why the bridge has moved a sliding control was performed with different loads. In addition an inspection of structural damages was carried out and evaluated. Comparing the drawings showed a significant displacement of the eastern abutment towards the western. The movement of the abutment has made the two bearing walls tilt. The sliding control showed that there is no risk of sliding when only earth pressure is considered, but when loads of the trains are applied there is a risk of sliding. Wear of the bridge has caused several damages in the bridge structure. The visible damages found were cracks, efflorescence, bearing misalignment and corrosion of bearings and visible reinforcement. What could be determined was that the bridge has moved horizontally and vertically and one reason for the movement in the eastern abutment could be the horizontal forces brought by a passing train. By examining the damage caused to the bridge and compare them with the requirements of the Swedish Transport Administration it could be established that some of these damages have raised due to lack of maintenance.
Denna rapport visar resultatet av vårt examensarbete i utbildningen till högskoleingenjör inom "Byggteknik och design" på Kungliga tekniska högskolan (KTH) i Stockholm. Organisationen Elikia na Biso, grundad av Miza Landström har med hjälp av studenter på KTH lyckats få fram ett förslag på två nya skolor som nu håller på att byggas i hennes födelseort Lwengo Basilla. Byn ligger i sydvästra delen av Demokratiska republiken Kongo. Området är i stort behov av skolor och Miza har genom sin organisation samlat in pengar för att driva igenom detta projekt. Tidigare har en grupp varit nere i Lwengo Basilla och påbörjat byggnationen av den första skolan och nästa steg är att bygga taket. Syftet med denna rapport är att med lokala material och hjälpmedel som finns att tillgå i Lwengo Basilla hitta lösningar på hur man på ett säkert sätt kan fästa taket till resten av byggnaden. Vi kommer även leda arbetet på plats för att lära ut byggtekniken till arbetarna i Lwengo Basilla. Denna rapport fokuserar på infästningarna av taket medan själva takstolskonstruktionen har arbetats fram av Shwan Delshad som har varit en samarbetspartner till denna rapport. I rapporten har fyra förslag på infästningslösningar för takstolarna tagits fram tillsammans med två förslag på pelare. Dessa har jämförts och ett lämpligt förslag har valts ut och dimensionerats. Pelarna kommer att bestå av trä och fästs i betongfundament för att få en stabilitet. Takstolarna fästs sedan i denna och balkar som löper mellan pelarna. Infästningen av takstolarna till väggen kommer utföras med hjälp av armeringsjärn som är inmurade i väggen och som spänns över takstolen och spikas fast för att takstolen ska sitta på plats. Dessa förslag användes i byggnationen av skolan. Arbetet med att få färdigt taket genomfördes enligt planerat och arbetarna tog till sig informationen om byggtekniken som användes. Den andra skolbyggnaden kommer nu att byggas av människorna i byn själva utifrån den teknik som användes vid första skolan.

Abstract:

Denna rapport är en del av ett examensarbete på avdelningen för "Byggteknik och design" med inriktning "husbyggnad, projektering och konstruktion" på Kungliga Tekniska högskolan i Stockholm, Sverige. Rapporten handlar om byggandet av ett tak för en skolbyggnad i byn Lwengo Basilla som ligger i sydöstra delarna av Demokratiska republiken Kongo. Skolprojektet finansieras av en ideell organisation i Sverige som heter "Elikia na Biso" och leds av Miza Landström. Designen och konstruktionen av skolan har tagits fram med hjälp av studenter från olika avdelningar inom Kungliga Tekniska högskolan (KTH). En grupp studenter från KTH hjälpte till att lägga grunden och väggarna i skolan. Nästa grupp av studenter skickades för att hjälpa till med byggandet av skolans tak. Denna rapport fokuserar på att dimensionera och konstruera taket på skolan med hjälp av lokala material på ett effektivt sätt. Stegen för att bygga en geringslåda (precisionslåda), samt sågning och spikning av takstolen, och uppsättning av takstolarna på rätt plats har beskrivits i detalj. Virket som användes till takstolarna var mycket mer hållbara än vad som förväntades, och detta förstärker stabiliteten och säkerheten av hela taket. Taket på den första skolan blev klar, och de anställda kommer att bygga taket på den andra skolan själva med de erfarenheter de fått under byggandet av den första skolan.
This report is a part of a thesis in the department of “Construction engineering and Design” with specialization in “house building, planning and construction” at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. The report is about the construction of a roof for a school building in the village of Lwengo Basilla located in south eastern parts of Democratic Republic of Congo. The school project is funded by a non-profit organization in Sweden named “Elikia na Biso” headed by Miza Landström. The design and construction of the school has been put forth with the help of students from different departments of the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). A group of students from KTH helped to lay the foundation and the walls of the school. The next group of students was sent to help with the construction of the school roof. The focus of this report is to dimension and construct the roof of the school using local materials in an efficient way. The steps of constructing a mitre box(precision box), the sawing and nailing of the roof truss, and raising the roof trusses into place are all described in detail. The timber used for the roof trusses was much more durable than what was expected, this ensures the stability and safety of the roof. The roof of the first school was finished, and the workers will build the roof of the second school by themselves with the experience they gained during the construction of the first school.

Abstract:

By research and interpretation of official documents published by the Swedish Ministery for Foreign Affairs and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), this thesis aims to understand and shine a light on the symbols that shape the Swedish public aid culture and how these symbols function in a narrative of what Swedish aid to the Democratic Republic of Congo is and is not. The theoretic framework leans on both the symbolic/interpretative anthropology of Edward Bruner, Clifford Geertz and Sherry Ortner; Omar Lizardo's more contemporary writing on the power of symbols; and Jerome Bruner's psychological perspective on symbols. The conclusion is that Swedish public aid appears to use a set of symbols and a narrative anchored in arbitrary parts of Sweden's and Congo's mutual history to conjure up the image of a dark and dangerous Congo in contrast to the knowledgable and good Sweden.

This thesis aims to explore selected theoretical approaches investigating the causes of conflicts on the African continent and then try to apply it to the particular case of the Democratic Republic of Congo and its second war, running from 1998-2003, and then assess the impact of each selected causes of this particular Congolese conflict. This Work in the first chapters outlines the chosen theories related to the causes of armed conflicts in Africa, focusing on three selected causes of conflict: natural resources, ethnicity and weak state. These chapters are theoretical basis for the analysis found in the final chapter. It then evaluates the impact of chosen variables on the outbreak of the Congolese war. Based on the analysis the author draws the following conclusions: 1st the main cause of the second war in the DRC, running in the years 1998 - 2003, can be considered as raw materials, or the efforts of rebel groups and neighboring countries to control and subsequent illegal mining of mineral wealth of The Congo; 2nd although ethnic factors are not the main cause of the second Congolese war, their impact on the conflict, especially in the early days of the conflict is obvious; 3rd nature of the State, namely the weakness of the Government of DRC, ranked according to key indicators, turns out to be the most...

Its main task is to critically assess the implementation of child Demobilization, Disarmament, and Reintegration programs, to identify the main challenges of these programs, and to provide recommendations for their future improvement. The theoretical part of the work focuses on the concept of child soldiers and the concept of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration. The work examines the case study of the Democratic Republic of the Congo closely. It explores the history of the conflict, the history of using child soldiers, and the history of Demobilization, Disarmament, and Reintegration programs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Furthermore, this work analyzes the phenomenon of child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the challenges the current Demobilization, Disarmament, and Reintegration programs are facing and provides recommendations for the Congolese government and for the international actors which are providing the Demobilization, Disarmament, and Reintegration programs for children in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The work concludes that through the implementation of new policies on the national...

Abstract:

The diploma thesis deals with the problem of lack of safe water and other factors that cause cholera outbreaks in African Great Lakes Region. Thesis explores the history of the disease in selected area and differences in approaches of individual countries to its therapy and prevention. The theoretical part deals with lack of safe water in Africa and other infectious diseases caused by contaminated water. The diseases include also cholera, whose causes in African Great Lakes Region are analysed till 2006. Subsequently, in the years 2007-2016, specific cholera outbreaks are analysed in more details, its causes and preventive measures within the three selected countries in the region: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya and Rwanda. It has been found that the elimination of cholera in this region may occur primarily by improving access to safe water and sanitation facilities, which in the case of Democratic Republic of the Congo will insist many years.

Abstract:

This master's thesis deals with the potential impact of natural resources on intrastate conflicts in Sub-Saharan Africa. The major aim is to investigate the general validity of the resource curse theory and of Ross's hypothesis about selling booty futures in civil wars. The presumed negative influence of both theories is tested on the cases of recent intrastate conflicts in the region, namely in Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo, Liberia and Sierra Leone. However, the main contribution of the thesis is probably the analysis of another case, namely Botswana, which, unlike other countries, appears to be out of the generally valid standards of the resource curse theory, as the only one experiencing long-term positive economic growth. The partial aim of the thesis is also to analyze the Botswana's success in managing natural resources and then to suggest some possible recommendations for other states in the region. The thesis is written in the qualitative approach, particularly in the form of thorough work with academic literature. The research method is the Method of Difference by John Stuart Mill, in its revised form of the Most Similar Systems Design.

Abstract:

Karolina Svobodová The Causes of Sexual Violence in the Armed Conflict in the DRC abstract My dissertation thesis (The Motivations of Sexual Violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo) is a case study of sexual violence in armed conflict in the DRC examining and analysing the causes of its intensity and extent. The main research questions of the study are: - What are the causes of the systematic sexual violence in the armed conflict in the DRC? - Why sexual violence in the armed conflict in the DRC occurs in the large extent and with high intensity? The research theoretically stems from the constructivism as one of the three main scientific approaches to sexual violence in armed conflicts. Since the constructivism presents male and female identities as social constructs, it seems as the best approach to sexual violence where gender of victims and perpetrators is often generalized by supporters of essentialism. Hence, the inherent neutralism of constructivism makes it very suitable instrument for an empirical research. Further, the study works with combination of feminism, cultural anthropology, and feminist evolutionary psychology in the construtivist framework. This blend may seem incoherent but it allows a complex insight into the issue of sexual violence in the DRC and an interpretation of its...

Abstract:

This thesis analyses Germany's commitment to multilateral military operations. Following the research question why Germany participates in some multilateral military operations but not in others, Germany's respective decision-making process regarding troop deployment in the DR Congo in 2006 on one hand and military non-engagement in Libya 2011 on the other hand is traced. By contrasting the concept of strategic culture with a purely rational assessment of the factors of alliance politics, risk-analysis and military feasibility of the operations, the decisiveness of taking into account Germany's strategic culture to explain deployment decisions is stressed. Neither is there a lack of external pressure for German military participation in the case of Libya, nor is the military operation in the DR Congo decisively less risky or militarily more feasible. Rather, Germany's multilateral and anti- militaristic strategic cultural strands affect its decision-making. Next to demanding a thorough justification and legitimization of any military engagement, two red lines for military deployment can be identified. First, Germany refuses to act unilaterally and displays a high reluctance towards military engagement outside the multilateral framework of the UN, NATO or EU. Secondly, Germany rejects to engage in...
