Full textAbstract:
This thesis assesses several theories about the social basis of the Quebec independence movement. The most prevalent of these theories locates the core of support for Quebec independence in the Francophone new middle class. The Marxist perspective offers a closely related hypothesis, according to which the independence movement is based in the Francophone new petite bourgeoisie. A third theory sees the new class as at the helm of the new social movements, among which is the Quebec independence movement. Finally, a fourth hypothesis is that the Francophone intellectuals and professional intelligentsia are the foremost separatists.<br>The results of tabular and logistic regression analysis of data on referendum support for sovereignty-association refute the new middle class and new petite bourgeoisie hypotheses. The analyses indicate considerable support for sovereignty-association among a narrow variant of the new class. Within this narrow new class, or professional intelligentsia, support for sovereignty is most heavily concentrated among the Francophone intellectuals. The most discriminating predictor of separatism is not class, but the opposition between those in intellectuals vs. the business/managerial occupations. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textAbstract:
Can national liberation movements envisage self-rule without statehood? This research examines the politics of a national liberation movement that claims to do just that. The research focuses on the incessant quest for self-rule in Kurdistan in general and the politics of dominant Kurdish liberation movements in Turkey and Syria in particular – with regard to the kind of political community they aspire to found. The research reveals that a salient aspect of Kurdish politics has been its detachment from state-building, and that this aspect dominates the politics of Kurdish movements in Turkey and Syria. Likewise, their project for self-rule in Kurdistan envisages a political community that differs greatly from its competitors; i.e. the hegemonic nation-state and its main opposition Islamic Ummah. I note that the Kurdish model draws heavily on the growing literature in political theory about the inadequacy of representative institutions and the risks of appealing to the notion of national sovereignty. I emphasize that the project shifts the origin of sovereignty from 'the imagined community', i.e. the nation, to residential communities (note the plurality). I also highlight that the Kurdish model of political community is built upon the exercise of political power through direct and semi-direct forms of democracy. Popular councils and assemblies within municipalities appear as the ultimate regulatory institutions. Sovereignty, thus, is dispersed and fragmented throughout autonomous, yet co-existing, and ideally horizontally organized political entities such as towns and cities. Accordingly, the primary form of political organization is not territorial state, but autonomous municipality. I argue that the claim to self-rule in the model is not in the name of the nation, but of communities of settlement, e.g. villages, neighbourhoods, towns, and cities. In a world of nationstates, the Kurdish movements' politics is an interesting example of post-nationalist and post-sovereign claims.

Full textAbstract:
The nature of human well-being has been debated in psychological research since
the beginning of the study of human behaviour. Mechanistic perspectives regard humans
to be independent objects motivated by external contingencies, with needs to be both self sufficient
and self-enhancing. Organismic perspectives describe humans as having innate
self-organisational tendencies, which partly depend on qualities of relationships with
others. Basic needs for well-being include being self-determined and socially integrated.
Both perspectives claim empirical support. Drawing on Self-Determination Theory
(SDT), the present study proposed that basic needs for well-being include autonomy and
relatedness, and ego-defensive needs that undermine health include independence,
control and narcissism. To compare the effects of different needs on well-being, the
present study measured people's perceived needs and the satisfaction of those needs,
within the context of interpersonal interactions. Participants were sourced from the
student population at a Melbourne university (N = 82), and various internet website
forums (N= 171). Included were 82 participants who had received a diagnosis of social
anxiety in the past two years. A new measure, the Interpersonal Needs Scale (INS) was
developed to tap the strength of values for the five needs of interest, and the degree to
which needs are satisfied. Factor analysis on the INS produced four value subscales:
these were named Authenticity and Belonging, comprising autonomy and relatedness
items, and Independence and Narcissism, both including Control items. The fmal version
of the INS showed satisfactory reliability and validity. Results for Study 1 indicated that
for the present sample, Authenticity and Belonging values were associated with overall
interpersonal need satisfaction and with well-being. Conversely, Independence and
Narcissistic values were associated with dissatisfaction of interpersonal needs and
compromised well-being. For Study 2, cluster analysis was used to group participants
according to their INS profiles: that is, similarities in their perceived needs and their
degree of satisfaction of needs. In line with predictions, the groups included: the Selfother
Balanced (N = 42), who reported significantly greater values for authenticity and
belonging over independence and narcissism, and overall need satisfaction; the Slightly
Lonely (N = 53), who reported similar value ranking but some dissatisfaction of needs;
the Satisfied Narcissists (N = 45), who reported high values for ego-defensive needs and
satisfaction of narcissistic needs only; the Needy Narcissists (N= 81), who also reported
high values for ego-defensive needs but high overall need dissatisfaction; and the
Individualists (N = 27), who reported low values for belonging and unsatisfied
independence needs. The characteristics of each group were analysed and compared with
each other according to a range of self-concept measures (autonomous-self, relational self,
independent-self, and narcissistic personality), indicators of psychological wellbeing
(depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem), and social well-being (alienation).
The Self-other Balanced group reported the highest well-being scores and a
predominantly autonomous self-concept, while those who reported low values for
belonging needs (Individualists), and those who reported the least satisfaction of
interpersonal needs (Needy Narcissists), reported the most compromised well-being. A
large proportion of respondents with social anxiety belonged to the latter group. The
implications of these results for understanding the impact of values and the satisfaction of
interpersonal needs on well-being were discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Scientific literature, across different disciplines, has indicated a significant impact of the concept of masculinity in the lives of men, including psychological well-being. Although many quantitative studies have constructed different perspectives around the subject matter, qualitative studies have only started to investigate the phenomenon. The present phenomenological research investigated the experience of masculinity by men from a contextualist epistemological viewpoint. The participants were 7 men of ages 29 to 59. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in order to produce analysable transcripts of the men’s experience. The transcript data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Six Master themes emerged that illustrated the contexts within which the experience of masculinity might have been experienced: Being Masculine, The Self Towards Superiority, What is Masculinity, The Emotional World, Other Men and The Other Gender. These themes represent interpretations of the men’s experience addressing structural, functional, developmental, personal and interpersonal aspects of experienced masculinity. Of particular interest was the pervasiveness of the concept of power throughout the Master themes and through many of their Constituent themes. Illustrative accounts are quoted in order to illuminate how the men experienced masculinity to be impacting their lives. It is also argued that the new and rich understandings gained from this study might help Counselling Psychologists to better help their clients address masculinity related issues and to accept and define their own way of being men.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Det råder en begränsad konsensus gällande en universell definition av begreppet självständig bland arbetsterapeuter, trots ett dagligt användande av begreppet. Forskningen visar på två beskrivningar av funktionsnedsättningar (medicinsk modellbeskrivning som utgår från fysisk kapacitet och social modellbeskrivning som betonar möjlighet till val, kontroll och självbestämmande) som i sin tur påverkar synen på självständighetsbegreppet. Ingen tidigare forskning är funnen som beskriver hur personer med lindrig intellektuell funktionsnedsättning uppfattar begreppet och deras upplevelser av att vara självständig respektive inte självständig/beroende. En betydelsefull kunskap för att kunna arbeta klientcentrerat. Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva hur personer med lindrig intellektuell funktionsnedsättning uppfattar begreppet självständig och vilka upplevelser de har av att vara självständiga respektive inte vara självständiga/beroende. Material och metod: Deltagarna i studien blev strategiskt valda utifrån ändamålsenligt urval. Individuella semi-strukturerade intervjuer gjordes med tio personer med lindrig intellektuell funktionsnedsättning (fem kvinnor, fem män i åldrarna 22-65 år) via Skype. Intervjuerna analyserandes utifrån kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Personer med lindrig intellektuell funktionsnedsättning anser att självständig betyder; att klara saker själv, att man kan vara självständig trots hjälp, att bestämma över sitt eget liv samt att hjälpa andra – vara kompetent. Upplevelser av att vara självständig är en förutsättning för att känna frihet. De beror på faktorer som personens inre resurser och en möjliggörande omgivning. Att inte vara självständig, känna sig beroende upplevs då man inte klarar, behärskar saker/situationer och inte blir lyssnad på. Nedsatt hälsa leder också till upplevelse av beroende. Slutsats: Självständig i betydelsen att bestämma över sitt eget liv är avgörande för upplevelsen av att vara självständig. Ju större begränsningar i självbestämmandet desto lägre upplevelse av att vara självständig och vice versa. Självständig trots hjälp, förutsätter ett partnerskap (ömsesidigt beroende) mellan personen och hjälparen. När man hjälper andra är man kompetent och självständig. Betydelse: Arbetsterapeuter bör uppmärksammas på att identifiera och stödja aktiviteter där personer med lindrig intellektuell funktionsnedsättning ges möjlighet att hjälpa andra och betyda något för någon annan.<br>Background: There is a limited consensus regarding a universal definition of the concept independent among occupational therapists, despite the daily use of the concept. The research shows two descriptions of disabilities (medical model description based on physical capacity and social model description that emphasizes the possibility of choice, control and self-determination) which in turn affects the view of the concept of independence. No previous research has been found that describes how persons with mild intellectual disability perceive the concept and their experiences of being independent and not independent / dependent. An important knowledge to be able to work client-centered. Aim: The aim is to describe how persons with mild intellectual disability perceive the meaning of independent and what experiences they have of being independent versus not independent/dependent. Material and methods: The participants in the study were strategically selected based on an appropriate selection. Individual semi-structured interviews were performed with ten persons with intellectual disabilities (five women, five men, aged 22-65), by Skype. The interviews were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Persons with mild intellectual disability believe that independent means; to handle things by yourself, that one can be independent despite recieving help, to make one’s own life decisions and to help others - be competent. Experiences of being independent is a qualification for feeling freedom. It depends on factors like the person's internal resources and an enabling environment. Not being independent, feeling dependent is perceived when you cannot cope, master things/situations and are not being listened to. Reduced health also entiles experiencing dependence. Conclusions: To be independent, in the sense of making one’s own life decisions, is central for the experience of feeling independent. The more one’s self-determination is limited, the less one experiences being independent and vice versa. Independent despite help, presupposes a partnership (interdependence) between the person and the helper. When you help others - you are competent and independent. Significance: Occupational therapists should be alerted to identifying and supporting activities where persons with mild intellectual disabilities are given the opportunity to help others and mean something to someone else.

Full textAbstract:
Economic empowerment is a potential strategy to improve women’s autonomy in the Global South. The emergence of export-oriented factories in urban areas, such as Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia, have created forms of low wage labour, such as garment work, as drivers of social, political and economic change. This study documents the experiences and perceptions of female workers in the low wage garment industry in Cambodia. Through in-depth qualitative interviews with a cohort of low wage garment workers, using a longitudinal methodology, this project examines how rural women’s migration to the city to engage in paid employment contributes to perceptions of autonomy in their personal lives as well as in their workplaces. The study utilises the capability approach framework suggested by Amarty Sen (1985) as an analytical tool to understand whether female rural-urban migrants achieve capabilities and experience flourishing as a result of paid employment. This study finds, in agreement with at least some current research, that women’s access to low wage employment does not necessarily contribute to their improved autonomy in the workplace. However, factory work contributes much to a transformation in women’s future work potentialities and personal lives. The women interviewed in this study gained autonomy in identifiable areas, such as opportunities for self-improvement by acquiring new skills. In relation to women’s personal lives, this study shows work in the garment sector can create a space for women where they can challenge traditional social and cultural norms by asserting their autonomy in choosing partners/husbands, renegotiating parental expectations, and reorganising the gendered patterns of domestic labour within their households. This study also notes that strong social and cultural norms persist as forms of social protection, and therefore female rural-urban migrant workers cannot fully experience life outside those norms. This can compromise the potential of economic transformation to completely change patriarchal social norms and their impacts on the lives of Khmer women.

Full textAbstract:
Why is independence a central theme for proponents of assisted living facilities? How do assisted living providers respond to this theme? These questions are pursued in an ethnographic study centered on Oregon's assisted living program. Assisted living facilities (ALF), defined and monitored by Oregon's Senior and Disabled Services Division (SDSD), are a type of housing for disabled, primarily elderly, persons. Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR-411-56) define independence, requiring ALF providers to support resident independence.
Using social worlds theory as a sensitizing concept, assisted living is treated as a distinct social world. The activities of key groups, including SDSD staff, an ALF professional group, and assisted living managers, are described. These members commit to a “social model” approach to long-term care for which independence is the unifying construct. This approach offers a value-practice “package” that explains how to implement the value of independence (Fujimura, 1997). Three arenas where this package is apparent are described: marketing, manager training, and daily operations.
Content analysis of marketing brochures from 63 assisted living facilities shows that independence is a dominant theme, promoted like any other product. These materials indicate that assisted living operators promote resident independence by providing a barrier-free environment, helping residents with daily tasks, and allowing residents control over their decisions.
Manager training programs are another arena where the policy value of independence is evident. Here, new managers learn “who we are” and “what we do” in this social world. They learn a new vocabulary and are introduced to tools for daily practice. They learn the boundaries of this social world, and above all, how to behave differently from nursing facilities that they associate with the “medical model.”
In daily practice, managers use institutional conventions, including the “negotiated service agreement” and "managed risk agreement." These tools are designed to respond to the tension between supporting independence and providing care to chronically ill, disabled individuals.
Observations of marketing, management training, and resident assessments indicate that the social world of assisted living is in a formative stage, as members attempt to define and legitimate who they are and what they do.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores how learner independence was implemented as a curricular goal at a tertiary level Preparatory Programme (PP) in the United Arab Emirates. This exploratory-interpretive case study shows how students and teachers at the English programme responded to an Independent Learning Log (ILL) and how they interpreted learner autonomy with respect to the ILL. The study analyzes how various interpretations of autonomy affected the students’ and teachers’ attitudes towards the ILL. The interviews and the surveys used in this study were conducted between 20122014. The data was examined using Critical Discourse Analysis and was coded with NVivo software. As a result of the data analysis, the researcher identified themes related to student and teacher roles in the promotion of autonomy, learner representations in TESOL, and issues of control and agency, in the language classroom and out-of-class. The findings suggest that, in the teachers’ discourse, students are assigned passive roles and are often represented as lacking, deficient, and in need of control. Furthermore, the teachers are represented as the agents and controllers of education. These findings are supported by other studies from different cultural settings. This suggests that the US and THEM divide is not unique to the context of this study, but, rather, that it reflects a broader issue that is characteristic of TESOL discourse. In the discussion section, the researcher demonstrates how the themes identified in this study draw on a Social Order perspective in education. It is argued that this conceptual model remains ingrained in teachers’ and students’ group consciousness as the default model for learning. We conclude that learner independence as an educational goal is incompatible with this way in which students and teachers conceptualise education. In order for autonomy to become a feasible educational goal, we need to re-think how we organise language learning and what roles teachers and students assign each other. Overall, this case study reveals the problems that educators may face when promoting autonomy in a language programme. An understanding of these issues may help future language programmes develop better strategies towards fostering learner autonomy at an institutional level.

<p>The objective of this research was to investigate the relationships between the political change and the access policy changes in Madagascar since independence. In this study qualitative and quantitative data were used. The qualitative research consisted of eleven in-depth interviews and the collection of policy documents from 1960 to 2008. Open-ended questionnaires were utilized to collect data and to achieve the objectives of the research. Policy documents were analyzed to identify government policy changes. The main findings from the research showed that access policy changed with each major change in political leadership. Four major political periods and four respective main access policy changes were identified from 1960 to 2008. Higher education policy in general changed when there was a major change in presidential leadership. The main conclusions of this study were that access policy changes were the result of major changes in presidential leadership and that in spite of rhetoric to the contrary, universities did not have the autonomy to resist changes in access policy because of the top-down state system and the institutional financial dependence on the national government.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Äldre är en växande och ofta bortprioriterad åldersgrupp, där många är i behov av stöd för att klara av sin vardag. Utifrån styrdokument och lagar framkommer det att vård- och omsorgsverksamheter ska främja äldres självständighet. Konsensus saknas gällande definitionen av begreppet självständighet trots att det är ett välanvänt begrepp. Upplevd självständighet är ett begränsat forskningsområde och det finns inget systematiskt sätt att mäta fenomenet på i dagsläget. Studien är genomförd på uppdrag av Karlstads kommun. Studiens syfte var att definiera och operationalisera upplevd självständighet och dess underdimensioner. Ett självskattningsformulär konstruerades för att att mäta upplevd självständighet hos äldre som har stöd för att klara av sin vardag. En tvärsnittsstudie användes som design där självskattningsformuläret administrerades anonym. Totalt inkluderades 94 respondenter. I resultatet framkommer självständighet består av en subjektivt aspekt och är ett viktigt komplement till de väletablerade objektiva bedömningarna på området. Självskattningsformuläret anses fånga in studiens definition av upplevd självständighet. Vidare framkommer att självskattningsformuläret består av fem komponenter: (1) Kontroll och inflytande, (2) Livskvalitet och aktiva val, (3) Skam och känslan av att få hjälp, (4) Upplevelsen av att få hjälp, samt (5) Upplevelsen av att göra saker på egen hand. Samtliga komponenter bedöms vara möjliga underdimensioner av upplevd självständighet. Slutsatsen är att äldre kan uppleva sig som självständiga, trots behov av hjälp och stöd. Att självständighet är något subjektivt mätbart och att vikt måste läggas vid den individuella upplevelsen för att se om insatser främjar upplevd självständighet.<br>The elderly is a large and growing population that has been deprioritized for many years. Government policies, documents, and laws make it clear that care and welfare of elderly need to promote independence and self-reliance. However, there is no uniform definition of the term independence, and there is no systematic way to measure the phenomenon today. The purpose of this study was to define and operationalize subjective independence and its various sub-dimensions, and was commissioned by Karlstad Municipality. A self-assessment questionnaire was designed to measure the perceived independence of elderly who have assistance during their everyday lives. A cross-sectional study was used and the self-assessment questionnaire was administered anonymously. A total of 94 respondents participated. The result showed that independence consists of a subjective aspect, and thus, is an important complement to objective assessments of independence. The self-assessment questionnaire is considered to capture the study's definition of subjective independence. Furthermore, the study showed that the self-assessment questionnaire consisted of five components: (1) Control and influence, (2) Quality of life and active choices, (3) Shame and the feeling of getting help, (4) The experience of getting help, and (5) The experience of doing things on your own; that are possible subdimensions of subjective independence. The conclusion is that the elderly can experience themselves as being independent, despite their need of assistance in their everyday lives; and that independence is something subjectively measurable, and that emphasis must be placed on the individual experience to see if efforts promote subjective independence.

Full textAbstract:
In nationalism studies, there has been insignificant analysis of the politics of imagining nations. This thesis addresses this lacuna in an examination of the form and design of imagined nations in Scotland and Quebec. I argue that the Scottish National Party and the Parti Quebecois have, since their advent in the 1960s, created a political-civic image of the nation that breaks with previous cultural conceptions. However, cultural images of the nation, propagated by centralist institutions, remain entrenched in contemporary Scotland and Quebec. The juxtaposition of centralist cultural images and nationalist political images of the nation have led to a dualistic, or what I have termed a 'Jekyll and Hyde', national consciousness in both countries. This exercise indicates that images of the nation are subject to multitudinous interpretations and (re)construction by various actors in the competitive state-nation political arena.

Full textAbstract:
During the transition to college, emerging adults are expected to develop independence and increase individual responsibility as they live away from home for the first time. Modern electronic communication has enabled emerging adults to maintain frequent, daily contact with the parent, a pattern of communication Hofer refers to as an “electronic tether.” This study examined the link between parenting style and the development of independence of first year, first semester college students. Although these students were in frequent contact with their designated parent, no correlation between frequency of communication and parenting style or independence was found. Both authoritative and helicopter parenting significantly positively predicted attitudinal independence. However, permissive parenting functioned as a significant negative predictor. Authoritarian, permissive, and helicopter parenting significantly positively predicted conflictual independence. However, authoritative parenting functioned as a significant negative predictor. Both authoritative and helicopter parenting significantly positively predicted emotional and functional independence.

The fact that it took so long, in spite of successive waves of invaders and spirited yet sporadic resistance, to fashion a united national front, points out an anomaly in Algerian society: a divided identity. It took a cruel French occupation, the incompetence of colonial authorities, and the infiltration of European nationalist ideology to fashion a united front, but it was only a front, for immediately after independence, the unity was shown to be a temporary one.<br>The Berber majority found itself excluded, both culturally and politically, from the new Algerian state. Strangers in their own land, Berbers were faced with a new, more insidious colonialism: Arabization.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Måltiden är central för en människas fysiska och psykiska välmående. Malnutrition är ett vanligt problem i den äldre populationen. Syfte: Att undersöka hur personer boende på två vård- och omsorgsboenden för äldre i Uppsala län upplever sin måltidsmiljö samt hur det egna behovet av egenvårdsstöd och inflytande möts under måltiden utifrån faktorerna fysisk och social måltidsmiljö, hjälpmedel, egenvård och självbestämmande. Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ ansats. Åtta informanter på vård- och omsorgsboenden för äldre i Uppsala län intervjuades, informanterna valdes genom ett strategiskt urval. Tillstånd för studien anskaffades hos boendets verksamhetschef. Intervjuerna transkriberades sedan och analyserades utifrån enligt Graneheim och Lundmans (2004) innehållsanalys. Resultat: Intervjuerna resulterade i 15 kategorier och fem teman som beskrev informanternas erfarenhet av måltiden, hjälp, hjälpmedel och känsla av delaktighet i matsalen. Informanterna förmedlade en varierad bild av den sociala måltidsmiljön, likväl den fysiska. Informanterna är alla individer och har en högst personlig åsikt om vad man äter och hur man beter sig i matsalen. Individens personliga inställning färgar också upplevelsen av måltidssituationen. Slutsats: Individer som lever och bor på särskilt boende för äldre har olika viljor och preferenser vad gäller vilka faktorer som påverkar till en positiv måltidsmiljö. Förändringsideér hos de äldre finns men forum för påverkan saknas, vilket kan resultera i en känsla av vanmakt. Vetskap om rätten till anpassad hjälp och stöttning vid måltiden varierar. Upplevelser av för lite hjälp och avsaknad av anpassade hjälpmedel medför en negativ påverkan på individens självupplevda egenvårdskapacitet.<br>Background: The meal is central to a person's physical and mental well-being. Malnutrition is a common problem among the elderly population. Objective: To study what the elderly people living in two nursing homes in Uppsala had to say about their physical and social meal environment and need of self-care support and the feeling of influence during the meal based on factors of social and physical environment, aid, self-care and influence. Method: Qualitative interview study. Eight residents living in 2 nursing homes in Uppsala were interviewed using a strategic sample. Permission for the study was obtained by the clinic manager. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed by a content analysis according to Graneheim and Lundman (2004). Result: The interviews resulted in 15 categories and five themes which described the informants' experience of the meal, help, aids and sense of influence in the dining room. The informants presented a varied picture of the social meal environment, as well as the physical. The informants are all individuals and have a personal opinion on what to eat and how to behave in the dining room. The individual's personal attitude also colors the experience of the meal situation. Conclusions: Elderly residents living in nursing homes have different desires and preferences regarding the factors that influence a positive meal environment. There is a lot of ideas among the elderly, but a lack of forum for influence can result in a feeling of powerlessness. The knowledge about the right to customized help and support during the meal varies among the elderly. Experiences of too little help and lack of acquired aids has a negative impact on patient self-care capacity.

Alderman, Jonathan. "The path to ethnogenesis and autonomy : Kallawaya-consciousness in plurinational Bolivia." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/8600.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the construction of ethnic identity, autonomy and indigenous citizenship in plurinational Bolivia. In 2009, the Kallawayas, an Andean indigenous nation, took advantage of legislation in Bolivia's new constitution to begin a process of legally constituting themselves as autonomous from the state. The objective of Indigenous Autonomy in the constitution is to allow indigenous nations and peoples to govern themselves according to their conceptions of ‘Living Well'. Living well, for the Kallawayas is understood in terms of what it means to be runa, a person living in the ayllu (the traditional Andean community). The Kallawayas are noted as healers, and sickness and health is understood as related to the maintenance of a ritual relationship of reciprocity with others in the ayllu, both living humans and ancestors, remembered in the landscape. Joint ritual relations with the landscape play an important role in joining disparate Kallawaya ayllus with distinct traditions and languages (Aymara, Quechua and the Kallawaya language Macha Jujay are spoken) together as an ethnic group. However, Kallawaya politics has followed the trajectory of national peasant politics in recent decades of splitting into federations divided along class and ethnic lines. The joint ritual practices which traditionally connected the Kallawaya ayllus adapted to reflect this new situation of division between three sections of Kallawaya society. This has meant that the Kallawayas are attempting political autonomy as an ethnic group when they have never been more fractured. This thesis then examines the meaning of autonomy and the Good Life for a politically divided and ethnically diverse indigenous people.

Full textAbstract:
The relation between the Catalan nationalist forces as well as the other sub-nationalisms and the Spanish Government has been a matter discussed throughout all the Spanish democracy. In recent years the challenge to the Spanish state set by the Catalan government when taking a unilateral approach on Independence has resulted in the imprisonment and exile of political leaders. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the events that occurred in Catalonia after the Catalan elections of 2015 and the unilateral approach on self-determination taken by the Catalan Autonomous Government with the promise of a binding referendum. The laws passed by the Catalan government which were rejected by the Constitutional Court, as the law itself denied the authority of the Constitutional Court and declared independence. This resulted in the application of the 155th article of the Spanish Constitution, suspending autonomous government, to enforce the Constitutional Court’s resolutions by the Spanish government. The essay will focus on the discourses given by politicians to criticize or justify these actions, analysed through theoretical and political normative perspectives.

Previous issue date: 2013-12-02<br>Nenhuma<br>Esta tese, ao dar voz a estudantes estagiários dos cursos de Direito e Enfermagem de uma universidade comunitária do Rio Grande do Sul, procurou desvelar o significado que os estágios curriculares, obrigatórios e não obrigatórios, assumem na formação acadêmica e profissional desses estudantes e nas estruturas curriculares dos seus cursos de graduação. Para tanto, foram ouvidos duzentos e setenta e dois estudantes e as coordenações de ambos os cursos, por meio de entrevistas estruturadas e semiestruturadas em profundidade, seguindo a abordagem quali/quanti. A etapa qualitativa de inspiração etnográfica valeu-se da análise de conteúdo para o tratamento dos dados, e a etapa quantitativa, caracterizada como pesquisa conclusiva descritiva, do tipo levantamento de campo, foi analisada estatisticamente; como procedimento de pesquisa, utilizou-se, também, a análise documental. A discussão das dimensões experiência, profissionalização, relação teoria/prática, formação, campo e habitus, referenciadas em expoentes como Larrosa, Dewey, Dubar, Vázquez, Charlot e Bourdieu, dentre outros, contribuiu sobremaneira para unir os fios que foram sendo propositalmente "esquecidos" pelas análises, tecendo as redes que levaram a pesquisa à sua culminância. Assim, justificando a tese, o estudo aponta que os currículos dos cursos de graduação têm muito a ganhar explorando as consequências e os resultados dos estágios curriculares, principalmente se as coordenações perceberem que as experiências vivenciadas pelos estagiários promovem a autonomia e o protagonismo discente. A universidade procura permanentemente consolidar a interdisciplinaridade, a indissociabilidade ensino-pesquisa-extensão e o desenvolvimento da autonomia intelectual do estudante e não reconhece, nos estágios curriculares, qualquer que seja a modalidade, oportunidades reais e incontestáveis para atingir os objetivos que ratificam a razão do seu fazer.<br>This thesis by giving voice to student trainees from law and nursing courses of a community college in Rio Grande do Sul sought to unveil to meaning that the curricular internships, mandatory or not mandatory, assume in the academic and professional formation of these students and in the curriculum structure of their undergraduate courses. For that, two hundred and seventy two students and the coordination of both courses were heard, through in-depth structured and semi-structured interviews, following a qualitative/quantitative approach. The qualitative stage of ethnographic inspiration used the content analysis for the data treatment and the quantitative stage, characterized as descriptive conclusive research, field survey type, was analyzed statistically; as a research procedure, documental analysis was used too. The discussion of the dimensions experience, professionalization, theory/practice relation, formation, field and habitus, referenced in exponents such as Larrosa, Dewey, Dubar, Vázquez, Charlot and Bourdieu, amongst others, contributed greatly to unite the strings purposely forgotten by the analysis, threading the nets that brought the research to its acme. Thus, justifying the thesis, the study points that the curriculum of the undergraduate courses has much to gain by exploring the consequences and results of the curricular internships, mainly if the coordinations realize that the experiences lived by the trainees promote the student’s autonomy and independence. The university searches permanently to consolidate the interdisciplinary, the teaching-research-extension inseparability and the development of the student’s intellectual independency and doesn’t recognize the curricular internship, in its both modalities, as real and undisputed opportunities to achieve the objectives that justify the reason of its doing.

Full textAbstract:
L’elaborato ha ad oggetto l’indipendenza del pubblico ministero, sia con riferimento all’organizzazione interna degli uffici di procura e alla ventilata ipotesi di separazione delle carriere, sia con riferimento al delicato rapporto con gli organi di informazione e con la politica. Il lavoro prende spunto dal velo di ambiguità che, da sempre, ha caratterizzato la figura del pubblico accusatore italiano. Punto di partenza dello studio è l’impianto costituzionale, con la piena consapevolezza che il Titolo IV sia tuttora considerato una delle parti della carta costituzionale che più si prestano a letture sfaccettate; in particolare, l’impegno di analisi si è concentrato verso l’art. 101, comma 2, Cost., in forza del quale sono solo i giudici e non i magistrati ad essere soggetti solo alla legge, e l’art. 107, comma 4, Cost., con cui viene operato un rinvio alle leggi dell’ordinamento giudiziario per le garanzie del pubblico ministero. L’interrogativo di fondo è se la Carta costituzionale esiga il riconoscimento del medesimo grado d’indipendenza interna per i giudici e i pubblici ministeri, posto che sull’indipendenza esterna interviene inequivocabilmente l’art. 104, comma 1 Cost.
Una seconda parte dell’elaborato dottrinale è dedicata alla disamina dei principali interventi del legislatore in tema di organizzazione delle procure. Il punto di partenza è la definizione del quadro legislativo prima del varo della “riforma Castelli”, caratterizzato dal progressivo abbandono della gerarchizzazione dell’ufficio in favore del principio del coordinamento. Si prosegue, poi, definendo le linee guida della l. n. 150 del 2005, seguita dall’approvazione del d. lgs. n. 106 del 2006 (la “riforma Castelli”, appunto); si tratta di un intervento significativo nell’ottica del ripristino della gerarchia negli uffici della procura. Infine, la l. n. 269 del 2006, che ha modificato parte della legge Castelli, di cui la denominazione “controrifoma Mastella”), cercando di rilevare se tali modifiche sono state determinanti rispetto alla figura del pubblico ministero. In questo contesto, risultano fondamentali le pronunce della Corte Costituzionale e del Consiglio superiore della magistratura.
Una terza parte dell’elaborato è dedicato al tema dei limiti dell’indipendenza, intesa sotto il duplice profilo del rapporto con gli organi di informazione e con la politica. Lo scopo del presente lavoro, dunque, diventa quello di mettere in luce due degli aspetti più controversi che ruotano attorno al ruolo del magistrato e, in particolare, del pubblico ministero. Infatti, sebbene nel corso del lavoro si sia fatto riferimento a norme rivolte alla magistratura nel suo complesso, l’attenzione è rivolta in maniera predominante ai rappresentanti della funzione requirente che, forse proprio per il protagonismo processuale che li caratterizza, rischiano di diventare protagonisti mediatici, offuscando, così l’imparzialità e l’indipendenza che contraddistinguono il ruolo del magistrato.
Le considerazioni svolte appaiono necessarie per cogliere gli snodi problematici di un altro tema, sempre di grande attualità, ovvero la separazione delle carriere. Si è cercato di fornire gli strumenti per cogliere gli aspetti problematici del tema, attraverso la prospettiva privilegiata rappresentata della giurisprudenza costituzionale, nonché dalla prassi del passaggio da una funzione all’altra consentita dall’attuale disciplina, introdotta dalla l. n. 111 del 2007, la quale impone talune limitazioni di passaggio dalla funzione giudicante a quella requirente e viceversa. Vengono, infine, prospettate le diverse strade costituzionalmente compatibili in tema di separazione delle carriere, cercando di mettere in evidenza le criticità di ciascuna di esse e verrà effettuato un raffronto con il sistema francese.<br>The purpose of this research is to investigate the independence of the Italian public prosecutors with a focus on the internal organization of the prosecutors’ offices and the hypothesis of “separation of careers” , and a focus on the delicate relationship between them and both the means of communication and politics. The starting point of this research is the veil of ambiguity that has characterized the Italian public prosecutor since the beginning.
The first part involves the study of the Italian Constitution, being aware that the Title IV is still considered to be one of the Constitution parts that presents multifaceted interpretation. The analysis focused especially on the Article 101(2) in which it is stated that only the Judges and not the Magistrates are subject to the law, and the Article 107(4) in which is stated that “the state prosecutor enjoys the guarantees established in the prosecutor’s favour by the provisions concerning the organization of the Judiciary”. The main question is if the Constitution requires to identify the same level of internal independence for both judges and public prosecutors since the external independence is regulated unequivocally with Article 104(2).
A second part of the research is dedicated to the close examination of the main intervention of the legislator on the organization of the Public Posecutor’s office. The starting point is the explanation of the legislative framework before the so-called “Castelli reform” characterized by the abandonment of the office hierarchy in favour of a co-ordination principle. The work defines, then, the guidelines of the Law 150/2005 which was followed by the adoption of the Legislative Decree 106/2006 (renamed “Castelli Reform”). This reform is an important intervention in order to restore the hierarchy in the Public Prosecutor’s offices. The second part eventually explain the Law 269/2006 (renamed “Mastella Counter-Reform), which amended the Castelli Reform, observing if the amendments were crucial in defining the role of the Public Prosecutor,. In this context, the rulings by the Italian Constitutional Court and by the Italian Superior Council of Magistracy prove to be fundamental.
The third part of the research is dedicated to the limits of the independence, that means the analysis of the relationship with the means of communication and politics. The purpose of the present work is to highlight two of the most controversial and peculiar aspects of the magistrates role, especially of the Public Prosecutor. Although the research mention legal standard concerning the Magistracy in general terms, the attention is specifically oriented to the Prosecutors. They risk, due to their characterizing processual role, to become media protagonists and to confuse, consequently, their impartiality and independence (and their demeanor of impartiality and independence) that identify the magistrate role.
All the aforementioned evaluations are necessary in order to understand the problematic points of another present subject, that means the “separation of careers”. The research tries to give the instrument to understand these problematic aspects, using the preferred perspective of the Italian Constitutional Court rulings and the procedure introduced with the Law 111/2007. This Law establish some limits in the transition from the judging role to the prosecuting role and vice versa. In the end, several method of “separation of career” in accordance with the Italian Constitution will be presented trying to highlight the main point and making a comparison with the French constitutional system.

Full textAbstract:
During most of the 1960s, the CSN was both an advocate of provincial autonomy and a defender of federalism. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, however, a majority of its leaders and militants came to favour separatism. Many of them saw independence as a precondition for the creation of a socialist Quebec. In 1972, the CSN rejected capitalism, endorsed socialism, and envisaged an internal referendum on the independence issue. The internal debate, however, took place only after the Parti quebecois was elected to power in 1976. Fearing internal divisions and disaffiliations, the CSN did not endorse separatism. Being disappointed with the Parti quebecois' governmental record, the CSN was content to give a critical support to a yes vote in the referendum in 1980.

Full textAbstract:
Since the early 1980's, the Punjab state of India has been in turmoil as a result of a separatist movement that developed among elements of the Sikh community. Political tensions not only characterized the relationship between the Punjab and New Delhi/ but also between Sikhs and Hindus and among different segments within the Sikh community itself. The most important attempt to end the conflict in the state has been the Rajiv Gandhi-Sant Longowal Accord signed on July 24, 1985. However, the Accord failed and by mid-1987 the Punjab was once again racked by political violence. This thesis focuses on the events that led to the signing of the Accord and the forces that caused its demise. Bargaining theory provides the general theoretical framework against which the data are analyzed.
This thesis highlights the fact that political bargains in Third World weakly-institutionalized states are often the result of particular configurations of political power which are short lived.
The corollary of this is that once the configuration of political forces changes, the chances of success for the previously reached political bargain are weakened. In the particular case of the Punjab Accord, there was a change, beginning in late 1985, in the relative political power of the participants in the bargain. Also, the terms of the bargained Accord unleashed forces on both sides which undermined its implementation. Third World leaders should draw two major lessons from this. First, they should be careful not to have exaggerated perceptions of their power since this may be counterproductive in the future if they cannot deliver what they have promised. Second, these leaders should attempt to consult all interests with a stake in the bargained settlement as a way to prevent opposition to it.<br>Arts, Faculty of<br>Political Science, Department of<br>Graduate

Full textAbstract:
Economic regulation as an administrative activity has become one of the quintessential subjects in modern Colombian administrative law. Despite the fact that Colombian law uses a fairly restrictive, organic, approach to economic regulation, few studies have analysed that connection between economic regulation and Government agencies. Without taking sides with that restrictive approach, this article tries to show the inconsistencies and difficulties to regulate properly in Colombian law, because of that connection between that administrative activity and those special agencies: the regulation commissions.<br>La regulación en el derecho colombiano es un tema de capital importancia que ha venido ganándose un lugar primordial en el moderno derecho administrativo. Sin embargo, a pesar de que en ese sistema jurídico parece haberse acogido un concepto restringido, orgánico, de regulación económica, no muchos académicos se han ocupado de analizar las estructuras que se han encargado tradicionalmente de ejecutar esas actividades. Sin tomar partido por un concepto restrictivo de regulación, este estudio pretende demostrar las incoherencias y dificultades de la función de regular en el derecho colombiano, por su vinculación artificial a determinadas estructuras administrativas: las comisiones de regulación.

Full textAbstract:
The "end of the century" nourishes a questioning movement on national identity and on the concept of modernity that is encouraged by the Quebec essayists. We propose an organization of the elements of the sovereign narrative which would be able to conduct and constitute a generative grammar of its argumentation. Our project consists in creating a matrix of the nationalistic discourse during the 1995 Quebec referendum period on sovereignty. This schematic figure will bring to its most simple expression the narrative of the Quebec nationalistic discourse selecting examples from ten texts of our primary bibliography. Our matrix will incorporate ideas, dogmas, theories, facts and myths stemming from the ideological discourses. We will see how these elements do interact, to be able afterwards to gather them in a framework on which national identity and legitimity of the national accession to sovereignty should be based. The study of this narrative of the past, as well as the analysis of the public characters will be leaded by the sociocritical approach of discourse analysis.<br>The francophone cultural nation living on the territory of the Province of Quebec demonstrates itself through the values of tenacity, solidarity, labour and openness of mind towards "Others". The nation increases the standing of a society project based on a democratic basis, condemning the traitors of the Quebec nation. This history concerns the francophone majority even though it is linked to the other "oppressed peoples" of the World History. This "french-quebecer" history is enhanced with a collective memory, projected towards the future in making the project of sovereignty the purpose of its teleological progression.

Full textAbstract:
The official language policies and their basic concepts, the principle of personality in Canada and the principle of territoriality in Switzerland, are critically analyzed. The two democratic federations are compared as two multination states since 'nation' is defined in cultural terms. Language survival is justified in liberal theory through minority rights. The principle of territoriality that assures the dominance of the linguistic majority over a territory within the federation is in accordance with liberal democracy if fundamental rights are protected. The principle of territoriality contributes thus to political stability within a multination federation. There is no movement in Switzerland that is fed by a language-based grievance despite the existence of three linguistic minorities: Switzerland accommodates successfully linguistic diversity. In Canada, the perception that the survival of the French language might not be sustained fuels a secessionist movement threatening the unity of the federation.

This thesis examines the reaction of organized labour to Quebec separatist nationalism for the period between 1960, the year of the creation of the Rassemblement pour l'independance nationale and the beginning of the Quiet Revolution in Quebec, and 1980, the year of the first referendum on Quebec's constitutional status. The thesis investigates four labour organizations: the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), the Federation des travailleurs et travailleuses du Quebec (FTQ), the Confederation des syndicats nationaux (CSN), and the Centrale de l'enseignement du Quebec (CEQ). It shows in which ways the positions of the four centrals have been informed by their members' national identifications and the emotional and cognitive mechanisms that resulted from these identifications.

At the dawn of independence in Africa, colonial rulers hastily introduced new structures such as national parliaments, local councils, and opposition parties in a bid to channel popular demands into responsive policies. These structures while all laudable were no match for the ethnic identities that had been created during the colonial period. Colonial rulers had drawn ethnic and geographic boundaries arbitrarily perhaps as part of the divide and rule policy which are said to have contributed immensely to the development of ethnic identities. This seems to give credibility to Mngomezulu argument that the concept of ‘ethnicity’ itself was imposed by colonial administrators upon an otherwise undifferentiated group of people. Thus, while it may be true that Africans in the pre-colonial societies were not homogeneous as evidenced by the migration of various groups across the continent, the colonial era played on the divisions making them rigid.<br>Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2011.<br>http://www.chr.up.ac.za/<br>nf2012<br>Centre for Human Rights<br>LLM

For much of the last twenty years, political leaders and academics have assumed that the survival of Canada depends on constitutional reform, and never more so than in the wake of the 1995 Quebec referendum. This thesis updates the literature by explaining the remarkable story of the last several years: the achievement of a national unity peace in the absence of constitutional reform. The explanation centres on the post-referendum shift in federal strategy from constitutional reform to Plan B, a strategy based on the rules of secession that has its origins, it is argued, in the Reform Party's response to Mulroneyera constitutional reform. The thesis concludes that Plan B was a successful national unity strategy because it made secession seem risky and undesirable, but also because the strategy - unlike constitutional reform - was based on widespread national support and on the viability of the constitutional status quo.

Full textAbstract:
L’émergence du mouvement de revendication identitaire andalou entre la fin du XIXe et le début du XXe siècle signe l’insuccès des libéraux espagnols dans leur tentative de construire un Etat-nation, et confirme leur indifférence face à l’ensemble des problèmes socioéconomiques qui terrassèrent l’Andalousie durant le XIXe siècle. La nécessité de la mise à niveau des mesures juridiques entre toutes ses classes sociales et l’amélioration des conditions de vie et de travail du prolétariat, soumis à des inégalités de traitement et exposé à des discriminations, fit émerger au sein de la petite bourgeoisie un nationalisme alternatif à celui de l'Etat-nation qui, pour les Andalouses et les Andalous, était une réalité lointaine et continuellement hostile. Utilisé comme instrument politique dont le but était de sortir l’Andalousie de son sous-développement, l’andalousisme fut durement réprimé durant les dictatures de PRIMO DE RIVERA et de FRANCO. Mais la violence engendrant la résistance, au lieu d’anéantir les revendications nationalistes périphériques, ces régimes hautement répressifs et autoritaires contribuèrent plutôt à légitimer plus encore leur combat durant la transition démocratique. Dans le but de trouver une solution à la confrontation séculaire qui opposait ces nationalismes à l’Etat, les rédacteurs de la Constitution de 1978 optèrent pour la création d’un Etat des autonomies qui repose sur l’unité de l’Espagne en tant que nation, mais reconnaît tout de même le droit à l’autonomie des nationalités et des régions qui la composent. Cette solution vint à point nommé pour l’Andalousie qui, depuis toujours, concevait l’autonomie politique comme la garantie de son développement. Cependant, au bout de trois décennies d’exercice de régime autonomique, en dépit de l’instrumentalisation de son sous-système politique et de ses Statuts d’Autonomie de 1981 et de 2007 comme moteur de ce développement, force est de constater que l’Andalousie continue à occuper la dernière place parmi les régions les moins développées de l’Espagne<br>The emergence of the movement of Andalusian identity claim, between the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century marks the failure of the Spanish liberals in their attempt to build a Nation-state, and confirms their indifference to all the socioeconomic problems which overwhelmed Andalusia during the Nineteenth Century. The need to upgrade legal action between all social classes and the improvement of living and working conditions of the proletariat, subjected to unequal treatment and exposed to discrimination did emerge within the petty bourgeoisie, an alternative nationalism to that of the Nation-state which, for the Andalusians, was a distant and continually hostile reality. Used as a political instrument whose purpose was to make Andalusia emerge from its underdevelopment, the “andalousism” was severely repressed during the dictatorship of PRIMO DE RIVERA and FRANCO. But violence causing resistance, instead of destroying the peripheral nationalist claims, these highly repressive and authoritarian regimes rather contributed to legitimize their fight for democratic transition. In order to find a solution to the confrontation that pitted the secular nationalism against the State, the drafters of the 1978 Constitution opted for the creation of a State of autonomy based on the unity of Spain as a Nation, but nevertheless recognizes the right to autonomy of the nationalities and regions that compose it. This solution came in the nick of time for Andalusia that has always conceived, right from the start, political autonomy as a guarantee of its development. However, after three decades of autonomic system exercise, despite the instrumentalisation of its political subsystem and its Statute of Autonomy of 1981 and 2007 as an engine of this development, it is clear that Andalusia continues to occupy the last place among the less developed regions of Spain

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the factors shaping American foreign policy toward secessionist crises since the end of the Cold War. The main research puzzle is the following: Why is it that, facing the resurgence of secessionist movements in the last 15 years, the United States reacted to it by supporting the territorial integrity of central states in some cases (Serbia, Somalia, Moldova), while recognizing the independence of secessionist states in other cases (Croatia, Eritrea, East Timor)? How can this apparent inconsistency be explained? This dissertation argues that regional stability is the main U.S. interest when responding to secessionism. It asserts that, when facing a secessionist crisis, the American government will choose the option (i.e. supporting state integrity or secessionism) that provides the greatest expected gain of regional stability depending on the evolution of the crisis. This explains why the American government's response to secessionism fluctuates from one case to another.<br>The performed qualitative analysis, which includes cases taken from two regional settings, the Balkans and the Horn of Africa, confirms the effect of the regional stability factor on the formulation of U.S. foreign policy. It shows that the fluctuation of the U.S. response is not caused by political inconsistency but by a coherent set of regional stability interests. The research also proceeds to the measurement of two competing arguments---namely ethnic politics and business interests. Case studies show that these domestic arguments fail to account for the research puzzle under investigation and that the regional stability argument consistently offers better explanations and predictions. Thus, this dissertation challenges liberal claims that domestic politics define foreign policy.

Thesis (LLM)-- Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Secession is one of the oldest and probably more controversial themes of public
international law. The potential of a right to secede draws even more controversy
amongst international law scholars and lawyers alike. This research merges classical
international law perspectives on secession and the right to secede in particular,
within a contemporary setting. Two research questions are answered: (i) Does a
legitimate right to state secession exist under contemporary international law; if so,
what are its normative characteristics? (ii) What is the position of the International
Court of Justice (ICJ) in the realisation of a legitimate right to secede, considering its
opinion in the Kosovo-case?
The work follows a normative methodological approach in tackling and presenting
the arguments towards and against the legitimacy of the right to secede. This allows
for a clear interrogation of the norms constituting classic international law against the
realities of an evolving pedagogy. Classical international law is traditionally statecentred,
primarily due to the 1648 legacy of the Treaty (Peace) of Westphalia.
However, contemporary international law has come to incorporate the roles of nonstate
actors and even individuals. Consequently, the impact of secession extends
beyond traditional international law norms like; territorial integrity and sovereignty,
nationalism and uti possidetis. Moving forward, a critical inclusion within modern
conceptualisation of secession needs to be considerations like, the right to selfdetermination
and the promotion of human rights.
The research departs with a clear comprehension of the status quo of a general
theory of secession. The identification of a prescriptive general theory of secession
remains rather elusive. However, cogent arguments are presented for the
establishment of a right to secede with a sufficient legal foundation to support a
general theory and find effective enforcement for the right.
The arguments for the right to secede are rooted within a sound conceptual
framework and historical context. In dealing with the normative characteristics of the
right to secede, the historic reasoning of Shaw is utilised in order to establish a legal
process for secession. This reasoning is applied in the presentation of the municipal
manifestation of the right to secede, which traditionally is found in the constitutional
entrenchments of the right. The relationship between the right to secede and selfdetermination
is presented through a balancing of the components that constitute the
right to self-determination. Following the Canadian Supreme Court’s contribution on
the right to self-determination in the Quebec-case, the aspirations of peoples for selfdetermination
needs to follow this dual view of self-determination as consisting of the
right to internal and external self-determination.
The contemporary position of the right to secede under international law is best
illustrated in the ICJ treatment of secession in its Kosovo Opinion. The focus here is to present new insights into the impact of unilateralism and multilateralism in the
interaction with secession. Ultimately, this research in its normative methodological
approach presents the arguments both ancient and contemporary for the legitimate
potential of a right to secede.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die internationale reg, is sessessie (afskeiding) sekerlik een van die meer
kontroversiële temas. Binne die geledere van akademici en praktisyns veroorsaak
die moontlikheid van ‘n reg tot afskeiding selfs meer onenigheid. Met hierdie
navorsing word die klassieke sienings hieroor in die internationale reg saamgesnoer
binne ‘n meer hedendaagse uitleg. Twee navorsingsvrae word beantwoord: (i)
Bestaan daar ‘n legitieme reg vir staatsafskeiding binne die hendendaagse
internationale reg en indien wel wat is die normatiewe karaktereienskappe van so ‘n
reg? (ii) Wat is die stand van die Internationale hof vir Geregtigheid (ICJ) aangaande
die verwesinliking van ‘n legitieme reg op afskeiding in die lig van die hof se
uitspraak in die Kosovo-Opinie.
Die navorsing volg ‘n normatiewe metodologiese benadering om die argumente teen
asook vir die legitieme reg op afskeiding te voer. Dit skep ruimte vir ‘n duidelike
bevraagtekening van die klassieke internationale regsnorme teen die agtergrond van
‘n transformerende pedagogie. Die klassieke internationale reg is kenmerkend
staatsgeorienteerd, grootendeels as gevolg van die nalatingskap van die 1648
Verdrag (Vrede) van Westphalia. Tog gee hedendaagse internasionale reg erkening
aan die handelinge van nie-regeringsentiteite en selfs individue. Gevolglik, strek die
impak van sessessie heel verder as tradisionele internasionale regsnorme soos;
territoriale integriteit en soewereiniteit, nasionalisme en uti possidetis. 'n Kritiese blik
op die moderne begrip van sessessie moet oorwegings soos die reg op
selfbeskikking en die bevordering van menseregte in ag neem om vooriutgang te
bewerkstellig.
Die navorsing begin met 'n duidelike begrip van die status quo insake 'n algemene
teorie van sessessie. Die identifisering van 'n voorskriftelike algemene teorie van
afskeiding bly ongelukkig ontwykend. Tog word oortuigende argumente vir die
vestiging van 'n reg om af te skei gevoer. Dit gaan gepaard met 'n voldoende
regsgrondslag wat 'n algemene teorie ondersteun, asook die moontlikheid vir die
doeltreffende uitvoering van die reg.
Die argumente ter ondersteuning van die reg tot afskeiding word geïllustreer binne 'n
verantwoordbare konseptuele raamwerk en historiese konteks. In die hantering van
die normatiewe kenmerke van die reg word die klassieke redenasie van Shaw benut
ten einde 'n regsproses vir afskeiding te vestig. Hierdie redenasie word toegepas by
die handtering van voorbeelde oor plaaslike manifestasies van die reg to afskeiding.
Hierdie plaaslike manifestasies word tradisioneel gevind binne state se grondwetlike
erkennings van die reg. Die verhouding tussen die reg om af te skei en
selfbeskikking word aangebied deur 'n balansering van die komponente waaruit die
reg op selfbeskikking bestaan. Na aanleiding van die Kanadese Hooggeregshof se bydrae tot die reg om selfbeskikking in die Quebec-saak, is die aspirasies van
volkere vir selfbeskikking gevestig in die reg om interne en eksterne selfbeskikking.
Die kontemporêre posisie van die reg om af te skei ingevolge die internasionale reg
word goed geïllustreer in die Wêreldhof se behandeling van afskeiding in die
Kosovo-Opinie. Die fokus hier is die uitleg van nuwe insig oor die mag van
unilateralisme en multilateralisme in die interaksies oor sessessie. Ten slotte bied
hierdie navorsing in sy normatiewe metodologiese benadering die argumente, beide
antiek en kontemporêre, vir die legitieme potensiaal van 'n reg om af te skei.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a critique on contemporary counterterrorism and peacebuilding. It uses a single case study approach to answer the question: How can we, by studying the Mindanao conflict - which has characteristics of both ‘new wars' and ‘new terrorism' - find a juncture between peace and conflict studies and terrorism studies that could help us to better understand terrorism and thereby create more efficient frameworks and tools for countering terrorism, and addressing the root causes of intrastate conflict in order to build a lasting peace? In addressing this question the thesis aims to contribute to International Relations and more specifically the emerging literatures of ‘critical terrorism studies' and ‘critical peace and conflict studies'. Ontologically, the thesis is positioned in between the two subfields, peace and conflict studies and terrorism studies, of International Relations and draws on theories from both literatures and the more recent ‘critical' turns of each sub-discipline; critical terrorism studies and critical peace studies. The case study of the Philippines and in particular the Mindanao conflict is relatively under-researched and functions as a comparative element as it, arguably, represents a microcosm of almost every type of conflict. It is the understanding of the thesis that there is a need to understand local realities and grievances in order to build a lasting peace in Mindanao where the root causes of the conflict is being addressed. Hence, the thesis seeks to understand the root causes of the conflict by focusing on Filipino history of governance and conflict. The roots of conflict is found to be the grievances of being deprived of self-rule, autonomy, and independence and of the right to its ancestral domain after centuries of various levels of oppression as well as corruption within the embedded, archaic power structures of Filipino political dynasties. Furthermore, the thesis tests the theoretical frameworks on the on-going peace process suggesting that the institutions and ‘one size fits all approaches' in liberal peacebuilding can be found in the embedded power structures in the social, political and economic levels of the Philippines. The main contribution the thesis aims to achieve is to apply post-liberal peacebuilding theories to the Mindanao conflict by identifying and assigning the role of the liberal institutions to local elites. Therefore, the main argument of the thesis is that the peace agreement between the Philippine government and the MILF is merely reshuffling the power within the archaic power structures of governance and political, economic and social life within the Philippines, without addressing the root causes of the conflict. Consequently, this will not lead to a long-term lasting peace in the Philippines.

Esta pesquisa busca debater, sob vários ângulos e pontos de vista, mas, essencialmente, enfocando o aspecto jurídico, a possibilidade ou não de se adotar uma moeda única no âmbito do Mercosul, a partir da experiência européia com o euro e das tentativas de integração, incluindo-se a análise de questões como a supranacionalidade, a intergovernabilidade, a soberania, a autonomia e independência dos bancos centrais, bem como a criação de um banco central único naquele bloco econômico. São ressaltados, ainda, os conceitos de moeda única, as suas várias funções e características. Ao mesmo tempo, é feita uma incursão histórica pelo mundo em geral, e pelo Brasil, em particular, mostrando a evolução da moeda em seus vários estágios, bem como os diversos instrumentos monetários. Aspectos outros, como o Sistema Monetário Internacional e sua relação com o ouro e outras moedas, também foram objeto de análise. Destaque especial, contudo, foi dado à moeda no Brasil - em especial, às reformas monetárias e aos planos econômicos -, mostrando-se, principalmente no que tange ao mercado de câmbio, as funções do Banco Central do Brasil. Abordam-se também as diferenças entre a União Européia e o Mercosul, passando pela apreciação do importante Tratado de Maastricht. Nesse sentido, avaliam-se as dificuldades jurídicas pelas quais o primeiro bloco passou, e as que o segundo irá enfrentar, como, por exemplo, a harmonização das legislações, a imprevisão constitucional da supranacionalidade, a cláusula de compromisso democrático e a necessária segurança jurídica. E, por fim, lança-se o debate em torno dos pressupostos e critérios para a adoção de uma moeda única no Mercosul, com uma análise crítica mais particularizada das vantagens e desvantagens, e destacando seus reflexos no comércio internacional. Nas conclusões, refutamos os argumentos favoráveis à adoção de uma moeda única no Mercosul, a partir do entendimento fundamental de que inexistem, nem agora e nem no futuro previsível, as precondições políticas e jurídicas para a sua implantação.<br>This research seeks to discuss, under many angles and views, but essentially focusing on the juridical aspects, if there is any possibility to adopt a common currency within Mercosul from the European experience with the euro and the attempts of integration, including the analysis of issues such as the supra-nationalism, the inter governmentalism, sovereignty, autonomy and independence of central banks, as well as the creation of a common central bank for that economic bloco. Furthermore, the common currency concepts and its several functions and characteristics are emphasized. At the same time, an historical incursion all over the world in general, and within Brazil, in particular, is made, by pointing out the evolution of the currency, its several stages and the various monetary instruments. Other aspects, such as the International Monetary System and its relation with gold and other currencies, have also been subject to analysis. However, special emphasis is given to Brazil\'s currency - specially to the monetary reforms and economic plans -, stressing the roles of the Brazilian Central Bank, mainly as regards the foreign exchange market. The differences between the EU and the Mercosul are also addressed through the analysis of the important Maastricht Treaty. In this connection, it is assessed the legal problems suffered by the first block and the ones the second will still face, as, for instance, the harmonization of laws, the lack of constitutional prevision of supra-nationalism, the democratic commitment c1ause and the necessary legal certainty. Finally, the discussion is launched on the prerequisites and criteria for the adoption of a common currency within Mercosul, together with a detailed critical analysis of the advantages and disadvantages, and drawing some consequences on the foreign trade. Conclusions contest the favorable ideas to the adoption of a common currency within Mercosul, based on the fundamental understanding that no political and legal preconditions exist, either presently or in the foreknowable future, for its implantation.

Full textAbstract:
Ageing has become a significant research area in the last few decades. The most important reason that makes ageing issue significant is the increasing rate of the older indviduals within the population all around the world. Statistical data on ageing both in Turkey and in the world reveals that, in the near future, the number of population over 65 will increase dramatically. It can be asserted that there will be an urgent need of specifically designed accommodation for this portion of the population. Hence, this thesis intends to search for and
practice a design solution for the elderly housing.
One of the instruments that supported the formulation of such a solution is the subject of &lsquo<br>universal design&rsquo<br>. Within the scope of this study, the principles of universal design and its relationship with ageing are defined, examined and evaluated. It is accepted that living environment has effect on the enhancement of the individual&rsquo<br>s quality of life. For this reason, the relationship between person and environment is briefly discussed in congruence with principles of universal design and provision of quality of life. Accessibility, safety, privacy,
autonomy and independence are the common concerns of universal design and provision of a higher quality of life.
With review of the definitions of specific elderly housing types, another approach for this study is to make a case study of the existing architectural solutions for the elderly housing. This helped to understand architectural approaches to the relationship between ageing and environment in the world.
In the light of the findings, an architectural project, presenting a habitable environment for the elderly, is proposed. For the project, the concept of &ldquo<br>assisted living&rdquo<br>as a new category for elderly housing, is chosen.

The purpose of this study has been to examine and analyze school counselors’ experience of collaboration with other professions in the student health team and the preconditions for their work. The study is based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with six elementary-, and two high school student counselors in a medium-sized town in Sweden. The theoretical approach being used is: role theory, theory of professions and theory about collaboration. The study´s result shows that the school counselors’ experience an unclarity in their job assignments and their role is often described as diffuse and vauge. Furthermore, the result also shows that personality, different perspectives, education, lack of time, resources and confidentiality is affecting their possibility to execute an independent professional social work in the student health team. This study also shows that the school counselors valuate collaboration. A opportunity that sometimes is being obstructed through the different perspectives as compared to the other professions in the student health team, and therefore affects their experience of collaboration.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis explores the white Rhodesian nationalist project led by the Rhodesian Front (RF) government in the UDI-period of 1965 to 1979. It seeks to examine the character and content of RF nation-building, arguing that it is important to consider the context of wider global and regional trends of nationalism at the time. Thus, it places the white Rhodesia within wider 'British World' studies of settler societies within the British Empire, but also compares it to other African nationalist movements in the 1960s and 1970s. It studies white Rhodesian nationalism on its own terms as a sincere, albeit unrealistic, alternative to majority-rule independence, and considers how the RF adapted over the period in its continuing attempts to justify minority-rule in an era of global decolonisation. Two thematic sections examine the RF's nation-building project in systematic detail. The first section, on symbolism, considers Rhodesia's processes of 'symbolic decolonisation'. This involved white Rhodesians creating new national symbols not associated with Britain or the British Empire. Processes by which new national symbols were chosen are used as a lens to explore white Rhodesian debates about their 'new' nation after the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) was taken in 1965. They reveal the ambiguities and complexities at the heart of the RF's nation-building project; a project that was frequently exclusionary and hotly contested at every opportunity. The second section explores how history was used to help create and defend the nation, adding to studies of the use of history in nationalist projects. It considers a range of non-professional sites of history-making, demonstrating the complicated relationships between these different sites and the state's wider nationalist agenda. It also explores how history was invoked to justify and defend minority-rule independence both before and after UDI.
