Abstract:

The thesis focuses on the interaction of the nascent oil industry and the changing political character of Mauritanian between 2001 and 2011. The theoretical starting point is the hypothesis of the ‘oil curse’. Historically-rooted contextual causes, such as the relationship between state and long-standing tribal and ethnic institutions, are found of greater influence to socio-political instability than the establishment of the oil industry. Foreign interference is found to also be a precipitant of political upheavals.

The thesis offers an analysis of the Reza Sah period in terms of the balance between religion and politics and their societal and institutional power, the discussion of which is located within a historical framework. The relationship between religion and politics and their related effect on the 'legitimacy' of the structure of domination are considered within Weber's tripartite typology of domination. Whilst acknowledging the overall implications of the feasibility of adopting a Weberian framework and criticisms concerning the lack of accuracy of Weber's study of Islam, the thesis proposes tha

This study reveals various responses within the church, incorporating concepts of community and 'place' as symbols in identity formation and cultural affirmation.

This PhD research examines independent art with a focus on the Russian Federation and the Republic of Serbia. Its aim is to analyse the state of independent art in Russia and Serbia in the twenty-first century. I argue that both countries pursue their political interests by supporting or forbidding certain art. Art that supports values opposite to the official political agenda is labelled as bad, blasphemous or untalented, and is often censored. Both states intervene in the cultural field through censorship and limiting free artistic expression. Against the background of a difficult political

Abstract:

The year of 1989 was for many an important year. Its affairs swept through Europe with a mighty force and resulted in the fall of the governments of Central and Eastern European countries and the disintegration of the Communist bloc. In Czechoslovakia, the process of change in 1989 was dramatic but tended to be non-violent; the events were even called euphemistically the "Velvet Revolution". The period from 1989 up to the present has been an era of major changes in Czech society. This will inevitably be reflected in the language. The Czech language before 1989 had its own typical phrases, clic

To effectively prevent and mitigate the outbreak of natural disasters is a more pressing issue in the twenty-first century than ever before. The frequency and cost of natural disasters is rising globally, most especially in developing countries where the most severe effects of climate change are felt. However, while climate change is indeed a strong force impacting the severity of contemporary catastrophes, it is not directly responsible for the exorbitant cost of the damage and suffering incurred from natural disasters -- both financially and in terms of human life.

In collecting data, various methods were employed; interviews with journalists, and quantitative and qualitative analysis of news programmes. The study consists of two main parts.

In recent years, several nations have adopted institutional framework laws, so-called Climate Change Acts (CCAs), as means to enforce Paris-compliant mitigation pathways.

In hierdie studie sal daar ook klem gelê word op die sosiopolitieke faktore wat tot die opbloei van die Afrikaanse musiekbedryf gelei het.
