Abstract:
A obra teórica e poética de Baudelaire se debruça diversas vezes sobre a questão da representação, ora criticando o realismo "pedreiro", ora caricaturizando o romantismo mais edulcorado. No Spleen de Paris: pequenos poemas em prosa, tal discussão assume uma configuração até mesmo ética, quando, n’ "O mau vidraceiro", o poeta se insurge contra o próprio mecanismo da reprodução, seja do ponto de vista artístico, seja do ponto de vista social. Ao comparar esse texto com o de seu amigo e editor Arsène Houssaye, que publicara o poema em prosa "A canção do vidraceiro" sobre tema similar, percebe-se que duas concepções de mimese são oferecidas, cada qual revelando uma poética e uma visão de mundo bem distintas.

Abstract:
Opening ParagraphThe Mau Mau movement used a campaign of ritualised oath-taking to gain the support and co-operation of the Gikuyu masses. The oaths remain a continuing source of controversy in the literature on Mau Mau, little of which is directly anthropological. This article offers a tentative resolution to that controversy through an anthropological analysis of Mau Mau oathing rituals in the light of contemporary theories on the relation of ritual to ideology. I argue that the oathing rituals are to be understood as part of the ideological apparatus of the movement, along with rallies and songs. The effectiveness of the oathing rituals lies not solely in their symbolic reference to 'traditional practice' as Buijtenhuijs (1982: 87) has suggested, nor in some inherent mystifying property of ritual communication (Bloch, 1974: 67–76). Although a continuity between the oathing rituals and those associated with the legitimation of traditional authority is strikingly apparent, the success of the former as a medium for political recruitment is to be explained in its relation to ideology, and in the essential ambiguity of the central tenets of that ideology—‘land’ and ‘freedom’.

Abstract:
In early 2015, a billboard advertisement of cigarette product Sampoerna A Mild titled “Mula Mula Malu-Malu, Lama Lama Mau” or in English means “Initially Feel Shy, Gradually Want” were protested by the majority of Indonesian people. Protests were stated on the website www.change.org, with a petition asking for the billboard to be removed immediately. Shortly after, Sampoerna A Mild company responded to the protest by apologizing to the people of Indonesia and removing the billboard. This case raises several questions for the author: Why was Sampoerna A Mild’s billboard removed?; What were the communicative sign contained in the illustrations that causes the billboard to be removed?; What was the idelogical background of Indonesian society which causes them to reject the billboard of Sampoerna A Mild? To answer these questions, this research based on a case study uses the methods of art critic as described by E.B Feldman. Data collection was done based on the study of literature, then the findings were analyzed inductively. Results of research revealed that the billboard was removed because it was considered a pornographic illustration. Pornography as seen in the communicative sign illustration of a young couple hugging each other, as well pornography in the illustration which includes the text that reads “Mula Mula Malu-Malu, Lama Lama Mau” or “Initially Feel Shy, Gradually Want”. The majority of Indonesian society rejected the billboard of Sampoerna A Mild and considered the billboard illustration to contain pornography due to their ideological background which is based on ethics and morality of Indonesian culture. Therefore, that rejection of the billboard is mainly due to an illustration displaying things that are in violation of Indonesian culture.

Abstract:
Nosso estudo explora a força crítica do grotesco, que teve na obra de Wolfgang Kayser (1957) abordagem pioneira, entre a literatura e a pintura. O fenômeno é anterior ao séc. XV, quando se tornou o estilo dominante de ornamentação, mas sob influência de elementos oníricos e da commedia dell’arte seria elevado à categoria estética. As observações pré-críticas de Kant sobre o belo e o sublime não equacionam grotesco e mau gosto. Victor Hugo, no prefácio de sua peça sobre Cromwel, defende o grotesco, através de motivos modernos, ou seja, românticos e cristãos, ao passo que, para Jennings, “o grotesco é o demoníaco trivializado”. No Brasil colonial, Gregório de Matos Guerra inocou com suas sátiras, que bem representam o rebaixamento, traço fundamental do gênero que, de certa forma, sobrevive na atual comunicação de massas, misturado ao Kitsch.

Enzi baada ya uhuru baadhi ya tafsiri mpya kwa Kiswahili zilianza kutokea nchini Kenya, zikiwemo tafsiri za riwaya na tawasifu za waandishi Wakenya. Makala haya yanazingatia tawasifu ya Josiah Mwangi Kariuki iitwayo Mau Mau Detainee (1963) inayosimulia kumbukumbu za mateso aliyoya-pata mwandishi mwenyewe wakati wa miaka ya hali ya hatari, na tafsiri yake kwa Kiswahili yaani Mau Mau Kizuizini (1965) iliyofasiriwa na Joel Maina. Kwanza, tawasifu ya Mau Mau Detainee itachambuliwa kwa kujikita hasa katika jinsi mwandishi mwenyewe alivyobuni lugha changamano takitumia Kiingereza kinachochanganywa na Kigĩkũyũ pamoja na Kiswahili. Halafu, tafsiri yake ii-wayo Mau Mau Kizuizini itachambuliwa kwa kina kwa ajili ya kuanza kufafanua jinsi na kwa mbinu gani mfasiri alivyokabiliana na vipengele vya pekee vya matini hiyo wakati alipokuwa anatafsiri kumbukumbu hizo za ukoloni akiwa anawalenga wasomaji wa lugha pokezi.

Este trabalho procura estabelecer um diálogo entre Macunaíma, de Mário de Andrade, e os contos fonsequianos Nau Catrineta, O Outro e O Cobrador, tendo como objeto de estudo a violência registrada nessas obras. Através dos conceitos da Psicologia Analítica, das considerações feitas pelo psicólogo e antropólogo Roberto Gambini e pelo crítico literário Tzvetan Todorov, pretende-se demonstrar que a violência que caracteriza a obra de Rubem Fonseca também se encontra em Macunaíma e que essa violência não é somente uma característica da Modernidade ou da Pós-modernidade, mas está presente na sociedade brasileira desde o seu nascimento, perpetuando-se entre nós como uma herança sombria que nos foi legada por nossos colonizadores e registrada nas obras de Mário de Andrade e de Rubem Fonseca.
This research establishes a dialogue between Macunaíma from Mário de Andrade and Nau Catrineta, O outro and O cobrador from Rubem Fonseca. Its goal is to study the violence shown in these books. It will be used Analytical Psychology concepts, investigations made by the psychologist and anthropologist Robert Gambini and by the literary critic Tzvetan Todorov. We intend to demonstrate that the violence which characterizes Rubem Fonseca’s work is present in Macunaíma too, and that this violence is not only a Modernity and Post Modernity characteristic, but it is present in Brazilian society from the beginning to nowadays.

This research aims to study the historical and literary representations built about Ñheçu and Sepé Tiaraju caciques, that lived between the 17th and the 18th century, and how those views increased the ideas that characterized the good and the bad savage, through a European perspective. We also analyzed how the said writings reproduced and merged themselves into another authors' works, disseminating domination ideologies. We verified socio-political elements through the religion diffusion proposed by Companhia de Jesus and the effects to the guarani culture, we also verified factors studied by Eco (2012), about the author-work-reader and concepts like decolonialism and medieval imaginary. The works chosen as corpus for the investigation are: Os Três Mártires Rio-Grandenses, from the priest Luís Gonzaga Jaeger S. J. (1951); the epic poem O Uraguai, from Basílio da Gama (1769); the work Sepé Tiaraju - Uma farsa em nossa história, from Ubirajara Raffo Constant (2006) ant the theorical essay Terra de Ñheçu, from the writer Nelson Hoffmann (2009). This investigation proposal signalizes to the qualitative research field; the theoretical basis is the comparative literature from authors like Coutinho and Carvalhal (1994) and Santiago (2000). It was important, to this research, the analysis from scholars like Anibal Quijano (2005), that deciphered aspects relating to the power coloniality; Walter Mignolo (2003) and Gayatri C. Spivak (2014), that based this research about the questions related to decoloniality and subalternity; Erneldo Schallemberger (2006), which talk about the guarani territoriality; and Laura de Mello e Souza (1986), that discuss the respect to medieval imaginary in her works. We can note that, nowadays, this representation about all and any indigenous is still made naturally; for this reason, we understand that this study could contribute to the reversion of this value judgement, in the sense of recognize that in these representations there is almost always present only the colonizers' voice. By using the polyphony and dialogism concepts, in the Bakhtin (2010) perspective, and the comparative literature methodology, we find out, in the corpus works, that the winners voice become present, promoting prejudice by disseminating a colonized thought. Therefore, we understand that creation of historical and literary characters, as Ñheçu and Sepé, thus represented, helped to ideologically structure the projection of Portugal and Spain colonialist imperialism, apart from the ideologies coming from the Religious Counter-Reformation, sowing conservative ideals, good practice and politeness in conformity with the religious and Eurocentric precepts to represent the good and the bad savage.
O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi a análise das representações históricas e literárias que se construíram sobre os caciques Ñheçu e Sepé Tiaraju, que viveram entre os séculos XVII e XVIII, e como tais visões reforçaram as ideias que caracterizaram o bom e o mau selvagem, a partir do eurocentrismo. Os objetivos específicos foram: responder como são representadas figuras dos dois caciques na literatura brasileira e entender como as referidas escritas se reproduziram e se fundiram nas obras de outros autores, disseminando ideologias de dominação (colonialismo e subalternidade). Verificaram-se elementos sócio-políticos a partir da difusão religiosa proposta pela Companhia de Jesus e os efeitos para a cultura guarani, além de fatores estudados por Eco (2012), sobre as intenções do autor-obra-leitor e conceitos como decolonialismo e imaginário medieval. As obras escolhidas para o corpus da investigação foram: Os Três Mártires Rio-Grandenses, do padre Luís Gonzaga Jaeger S. J. (1951); o poema épico O Uraguai, de Basílio da Gama (1769); a obra Sepé Tiaraju – Uma farsa em nossa história, de Ubirajara Raffo Constant (2006) e o ensaio histórico Terra de Ñheçu, do escritor Nelson Hoffmann (2009). É uma pesquisa qualitativa; serviram, de base teórica, a literatura comparada de autores como Coutinho e Carvalhal (1994) e Santiago (2000). Foram importantes, para esta pesquisa, as análises de estudiosos como Quijano (2005), que decifrou aspectos referentes à colonialidade do poder; Mignolo (2003) e Spivak, (2014), que embasaram o texto com relação a questões referentes à decolonialidade e subalternidade; Schallemberger (2006), que discorre sobre a territorialidade guarani; e Mello e Souza (1986), que trabalha em suas obras a respeito do imaginário medieval. Utilizando os conceitos de polifonia e dialogismo, na perspectiva de Bakhtin (2010), e a metodologia da literatura comparada, averiguou-se, nas obras do corpus, que se torna presente a voz dos vencedores, promovendo o preconceito ao disseminar um pensamento colonizado. Entende-se, portanto, que a criação de personagens históricos e literários, como Ñheçu e Sepé, assim representados, ajudaram a estruturar ideologicamente a projeção do imperialismo colonialista de Portugal e Espanha, além das ideologias advindas da Contrarreforma Religiosa, semeando ideais conservadoristas, boas práticas e boas maneiras em conformidade com os preceitos religiosos e eurocentrados para representações do bom e do mau selvagem.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the lives of Senior Chief Koinange wa Mbiyu and his eldest son, Peter Mbiyu Koinange. It joins with the growing rise of biographical work within African Studies. It challenges the historical understanding of late colonial rule in Kenya and the role of official myth in pre- and post-independence historical narratives. Koinange wa Mbiyu was the patriarch of one of the most respected, wealthy, and politically influential Kikuyu families of Kenya's colonial and post-colonial period. His eldest son, Peter Mbiyu, received a prestigious education abroad and returned to Kenya where he became a prominent leader for African independent education African political action. Koinange and Peter bear frequent mention in academic discussions of collaboration, discontent, nationalism, and militancy in Kenya's colonial era. This thesis challenges the widely held narrative that Koinange and Peter embraced militant politics opposing colonial rule during the 1940s. While fitting larger understandings of decolonisation, it is not an honest depiction of the Koinange's political actions. As a result, this thesis is intentionally a work of revisionist history that looks to the profound changes in the culture and nature of colinal rule during the 1940s, rather than a political shift in the Koinanges. In addition to challenging the prevalent understanding of Koinange and Peter's political action, this thesis raises a number of areas - gender, wealth, elite and family dynamics, to name a few - where the Koinange family history would further illuminate the historical understanding of the colonial era. This thesis is a dual biography, crafted as a work of narrative history. It challenges a breadth of current scholarship, utilizing the largest collection of pre-Mau Mau archival records to date. This thesis engages with a number of historiographical challenges related to biography, the individual, the family, and the challenges of oral history shaped in the crucible of cultural crisis.

El objetivo que perseguimos en la presente tesis, es intentar demostrar la existencia de un mito que nace de la lucha desplegada por el movimiento Mau Mau de Kenya, en contra de la administración colonial. Paradojalmente, en este movimiento de liberación parecen interactuar dos mitos que surgen de la realidad socio cultural del país. Uno de ellos nace desde la propaganda ejercida por la autoridad colonial -y nativos que la apoyan-, temerosa de perder sus prerrogativas y que por lo mismo busca destacar los aspectos más negativos del grupo, postura que se mantendrá, por razones similares, con los gobiernos post independentistas.

Abstract:
The Kikuyu, the largest ethnic group in Kenya, resisted colonial authority, which culminated into what became known as Mau Mau, led by the Kenya Land Freedom Army. During this time, the British colonial government imposed laws limiting their access to land, politics, and independence. The turbulent 1950s in Kenyan history should be considered a revolution because of its violent nature, the high level of participation, and overall social change that resulted from the war. I compared many theories of revolution to the events of the Mau Mau movement. Then, I explained the contention for land in the revolution, the role of women, and the place of Mau Mau in modern historiography. I concluded that Mau Mau should be considered a revolution even though its representation during the war and misunderstandings after independence did not classify it as such.

Full text
Abstract:
Mau Mau var en illegal upprorsmakande organisation i Kenya, sprungen ur det Afrika främjande partiet Kenya African Union under mitten av 1900-talet då Kenya var en brittisk koloni. Mau Maus anhängare kom från den etniskt kenyanska folkgruppen kikuyu som medelst våld ville uppnå målet att skapa ett kikuyukontrollerat Kenya fritt från vita européer. Britternas svar på Mau Mau blev upprorsbekämpning vilken av britterna anses lyckad och präglades av deportering av civila. Undersökningen besvarar frågan huruvida Galulas teori om upprorsbekämpning hade varit tillämpbar på konflikten i Kenya genom en fallstudie på britternas agerande utifrån Galulas teori. För att identifiera likheter och skillnader mellan empiri och teori används textanalys samt Gordon McCormicks Magiska Diamant som ett analys- och operationaliseringsverktyg. Resultatet av fallstudien visar att Galulas teori hade kunnat tillämpas av britterna och genererat en, för britterna, framgångsrik upprorsbekämpning.

Abstract:
Os edifícios das grandes cidades estão cada vez mais inteligentes com a adoção de dispositivos de IoT. Os sensores e atuadores IoT devem ser eficientes pois o mau funcionamento pode causar danos patrimoniais e talvez perda de vidas. Para avaliar o desempenho de sistemas de monitoramento de edifícios, alguns estudos usaram modelos analíticos. No entanto, alguns pontos ainda não foram explorados na literatura, tais como a análise da capacidade de recursos computacionais adequados à demanda de dados, representação do número de núcleos por máquina e o agrupamento de sensores por localização. Este trabalho propõe um modelo de filas para avaliar o desempenho de uma infraestrutura de edifício inteligente com suporte de múltiplas camadas de processamento.

Abstract:
This rapid review synthesises the literature on the environmental risks of four different aspects of digital transformation in developing countries: ICT adoption, digitally-enabled energy efficiency, ride-hailing apps, and big data use. The overall message which runs throughout the diverse literatures and results is that it is not digital technologies that create environmental risks or opportunities, but how they are used. Efficiency gains derived from digital transformation may yet lead developing countries down existing unsustainable development paths if not accompanied by careful, context-dependent policy. For policy-makers seeking to mitigate environmental risks, this means putting the context of digital use at the centre of analysis rather than the technologies themselves. However, the research literature covers more specific aspects of digital transformation. In practice, this report defines digital transformation as: ICT adoption, digitally-enabled energy efficiency, ride-hailing apps, and big data use. These topics were chosen after an initial scoping review of available literature, and because they exemplify a range of the different types of potential digital effects. The literature on the environmental risks of digital transformation is huge and conflicting. This is problematic because it could be easy to cherry pick preferred research results. Several studies noted that there is less research on developing countries than developed countries, but the evidence base is still large. As an evidence review, this report focused on the academic literature, but there is also a large grey literature. Some of the literature has a gender aspect, not covered in this report.

Full text
Abstract:
This review examines evidence on criminal deforestation activity in Latin America (particularly, but not exclusively the Amazon) and draws from the literature on the lessons learned in combatting criminal deforestation activity. This review focuses on Brazil as representative of the overwhelming majority of literature on criminal activity in relation to deforestation in the Amazon. The literature notes that Illegal deforestation occurs largely through criminal networks as they have the capacity for coordination, processing, selling, and the deployment of armed men to protect operations. Bribery, corruption, and fraud are deeply ingrained in deforestation. Networks may bribe geoprocessing experts, police, and public officials. Members of the criminal groups may become council members, mayors, and state representatives. Land titles are fabricated and trading documentation fraudulent. The literature also notes some interventions to combat this criminal deforestation activity: monitoring and law enforcement; national systems for registry and monitoring; legal enforcement for compliance of environmental law; International agreements and action; and Involving indigenous communities in combatting deforestation.

Abstract:
A cadeia mineral da Vale ao longo do Corredor Norte, localizado no leste da Amazônia, entre os estados do Pará e Maranhão, ocorre a céu aberto e está frequentemente exposta aos fenômenos atmosféricos indutores de mau tempo, como tempestades, incidência de raios, rajadas de vento, etc. Neste sentido, o presente relatório técnico teve como objetivo evidenciar os impactos das condições atmosféricas ao longo da cadeia mineral, com ênfase nos sítios de Carajás e no Terminal Marítimo Ponta da Madeira (TMPM). A abordagem foi conduzida com base na análise de dados meteorológicos e na percepção de empregados da Vale alocados em ambos os sítios. Os resultados demonstraram que o Corredor Norte da Vale é influenciado por sistemas atmosféricos, que atuam em diferentes períodos do ano conforme a região. A climatologia regional da precipitação demonstrou uma sazonalidade marcante, com períodos chuvosos e secos distintos entre Carajás e o TMPM, característica que é considerada no planejamento logístico e operacional da Vale, como constatado nas entrevistas com alguns empregados da Vale. Os resultados capturados em tais entrevistas evidenciaram que as condições atmosféricas estão diretamente associadas a atividades da Vale, como citado por gerências operacionais e manutenção, por exemplo. Além disso, a percepção do entrevistado da gerência de segurança ocupacional, monitorar e prever a eventos meteorológicos vai muito além da questão da produção, mas principalmente no ato de salvaguardar a vida dos empregados da Vale, bem como das comunidades que residem em áreas de mineração. Particularmente no TMPM, a criação de um Comitê de Umidade para a mitigação dos impactos atmosféricos na cadeia mineral, como foco em ações para os próximos períodos chuvosos, reforça que a Vale tem dedicado atenção na redução as incertezas em relação aos eventos meteorológicos danosos às suas operações, bem como tem investido em tecnologias aplicadas ao monitoramento e previsão de tempo. Os resultados encontrados no presente relatório técnico corroboram com o uso de tecnologias em meteorologia, capazes de diagnosticar o estado momentâneo da atmosfera, de modo que as informações relevantes sejam disponibilizadas no formato de alertas aos usuários interessados.

Full text
Abstract:
As a result of the refugee reception crisis in 2015 the advocacy for increasing resettlement numbers in the overall refugee protection framework has gained momentum, as has research on resettlement to the EU. While the UNHCR purports resettlement as a durable solution for the international protection of refugees, resettlement programmes to the European Union are seen as a pillar of the external dimension of the EU’s asylum and migration policies and management. This paper presents and discusses the literature regarding the value transmissions taking place within these programmes. It reviews literature on the European resettlement process – ranging from the selection of refugees to be resettled, the information and training they receive prior to travelling to their new country of residence, their reception upon arrival, their placement and dispersal in the receiving state, as well as programs of private and community sponsorship. The literature shows that even if resettlement can be considered an external dimension of European migration policy, this process does not end at the border. Rather, resettlement entails particular forms of reception, placement and dispersal as well as integration practices that refugees are confronted with once they arrive in their resettlement country. These practices should thus be understood in the context of the resettlement regime as a whole. In this paper we map out where and how values (here understood as ideas about how something should be) and norms (expectations or rules that are socially enforced) are transmitted within this regime. ‘Value transmission’ is here understood in a broad sense, taking into account the values that are directly transmitted through information and education programmes, as well as those informing practices and actors’ decisions. Identifying how norms and values figure in the resettlement regime aid us in further understanding decision making processes, policy making, and the on-the-ground work of practitioners that influence refugees’ lives. An important finding in this literature review is that vulnerability is a central notion in international refugee protection, and even more so in resettlement. Ideas and practices regarding vulnerability are, throughout the resettlement regime, in continuous tension with those of security, integration, and of refugees’ own agency. The literature review and our discussion serve as a point of departure for developing further investigations into the external dimension of value transmission, which in turn can add insights into the role of norms and values in the making and un-making of (external) boundaries/borders.

Full text
Abstract:
Learning to cope with disappointments and overcoming obstacles is part of growing up. By conquering some challenges, children develop resilience. Such normal stressors may include initiating a new activity or separation from parents during preschool hours. However, when the challenges in early childhood are intensified by important stressors happening outside their own lives, they may start to worry about the safety of themselves and their families. This may cause chronic stress, which interferes with their emotional, cognitive, and social development. In developing country contexts, it is especially hard to capture promptly the effects of stressors related to the COVID-19 pandemic on childrens cognitive and socioemotional development. In this note, we draw on the literature on the effect of stress on brain development and examine data from a recent survey of households with young children carried out in four Latin American countries to offer suggestions for policy responses. We suggest that early childhood and education systems play a decisive role in assessing and addressing childrens mental health needs. In the absence of forceful policy responses on multiple fronts, the mental health outcomes may become lasting.

Ismail, Zenobia. Interaction Between Food Prices and Political Instability. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.091.

Full text
Abstract:
This report reviews the literature on links between international food prices and political instability (including protests, riots and social unrest). The literature on food prices and protests, riots, unrest, or violent incidents consists mainly of peer-reviewed scholarly articles that utilise econometric modeling. Some early studies examined the links between international food prices and political instability and found conflicting results. Some assessments concluded that there were links between international food prices or food insecurity and the number of violent incidents, while others found that such a link was tenuous. This literature review covers some of the main arguments and findings in the recent literature on food prices and political instability or conflict. The majority of the econometric studies in this review find that there is a link between food price increases and a greater probability of protests, riots or social unrest. However, there are still a few studies that have contradictory results. So, the debate on the effect of food prices on political stability continues. Food subsidies, cash transfers, price controls, and the elimination of trade barriers are some of the policy interventions that may address rising food prices and mitigate the rise of violent collective action. However, the literature questions the effectiveness of such policies in cases where violence or protest action stems from deeper, underlying economic or political grievances.

Abstract:
This report offers a brief overview of the literature on the defining characteristics of democracy in the 21st century. This report seeks to map out a range of conceptual approaches to understanding democracy, evidence on emerging trends in democratisation, and challenges to realising democracy in its varied forms. The report begins with a discussion on definitions of democracy that have emerged in recent decades (Section 2), highlighting a range of qualifiers that are widely used to differentiate and analyse different democratic regime types. Section 3 summarises trends in key indicators of democracy from widely cited observers – The Economist Intelligence Unit and the V-Dem Institute - and recent trends in public opinion towards democracy, according to World Values and Pew Centre surveys. Section 4 gives a very brief overview of three leading challenges to democracy discussed widely in the literature – gender inequality; the role of media and social media; and declining quality of elections, freedom of expression and civic space.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper reflects the findings of the first phase of the REJUVENATE project, which set out to understand and map approaches to integrating children, youth, and community participation in child rights initiatives. We did this through a scoping of existing practitioner and academic literature (developing a project-based literature review matrix), a mapping of key actors, and the development of a typology of existing approaches. All three of these elements were brought together into a ‘living archive’, which is an evolving database that currently comprises 100 matrices, and a ‘collection’ of key field practitioners (many of whom we have interviewed for this project). In this paper we: (1) present a user-friendly summary of the existing tradition of substantive children’s participation in social change work; (2) share case studies across various sectors and regions of the world; (3) highlight ongoing challenges and evidence gaps; and (4) showcase expert opinions on the inclusion of child rights and, in particular, child/youth-led approaches in project-based work.

Herbert, Siân. Donor Support to Electoral Cycles. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.043.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid literature review explains the stages of an election cycle, and how donors provide support to electoral cycles. It draws mainly on policy guidance websites and papers due to the questions of this review and the level of analysis taken (global-level, donor-level). It focuses on publications from the last five years, and/or current/forthcoming donor strategies. The electoral cycle and its stages are well-established policy concepts for which there is widespread acceptance and use. Donor support to electoral cycles (through electoral assistance and electoral observation) is extremely widespread, and the dominant donors in this area are the multilateral organisations like the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU), and also the United States (US). While almost all bilateral donors also carry out some work in this area, “almost all major electoral support programmes are provided jointly with international partners” (DFID, 2014, p.5). Bilateral donors may provide broader support to democratic governance initiatives, which may not be framed as electoral assistance, but may contribute to the wider enabling environment. All of the donors reviewed in this query emphasise that their programmes are designed according to the local context and needs, and thus, beyond the big actors - EU, UN and US, there is little overarching information on what the donors do in this area. While there is a significant literature base in the broad area of electoral support, it tends to be focussed at the country, programme, or thematic, level, rather than at the global, or donor, level taken by this paper. There was a peak in global-level publications on this subject around 2006, the year the electoral cycle model was published by the European Commission, International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA), and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This review concludes by providing examples of the electoral assistance work carried out by five donors (UN, EU, US, UK and Germany).
