Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 70, University of Cape Town (Department of Political Science), course: Third World Politics, language: English, abstract: Any discussion of industrial citizenship in South Africa is one which requires not only afocus on the current labour relations dispensation, but which tracks the development of labourrelations in South Africa as it progressed along a winding path, beginning with the import oftrade unionism from Britain in the latter stages of the nineteenth century.1 From the outsetindustrial citizenship was not extended to all workers, with race providing the basis forinclusion and exclusion, and the dual labour relations system was formally crystallized in1953.2 Under the apartheid regime, labour relations created pattern of inclusion and exclusionon a racial basis which was swept away in 1979 with the state's acceptance andimplementation of the recommendations made by the Wiehahn Commission.3 South Africa'striple transition has been 'accompanied by a process of corporate and workplacerestructuring,'4 engendering new patterns of inclusion and exclusion as South Africa hasentered a globally integrated economy where exclusion is justified on the grounds of costreduction and increasing competitiveness.5This essay aims to make the argument that a large (and growing) portion of the SouthAfrican workforce has roughly gone full circle in terms of industrial citizenship - whereunder apartheid they were denied labour rights and access to the industrial relationsmachinery, they are currently in a situation where the gains won throughout the liberationstruggle and cemented in post-apartheid labour legislation are increasingly being eroded asthey are shifted to a section of the workforce which finds itself beyond the scope of labourlegislation. This paper is divided into four sections, the first providing a discussion of thedualistic labour relations system. The second section discusses the immediate legislativereforms effected in the wake of the 1973 Durban strikes, the establishment of the Wiehahn Commission, its recommendations and the effect thereof on labour relations in South Africa.The third section focuses on the post-apartheid era, and the final section concludes.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 76%, University of Cape Town, course: International Relations Honours, language: English, abstract: The end of the Cold War, some have argued,1 has dealt the three worlds classification schemea fatal blow and the break-up of the former Soviet Union and the associated disintegration ofthe Second World has to a large extent diminished the rationale which underlay the conceptof the Third World.2 Furthermore, from its heyday in the 1970s, Third Worldism has been ona path of terminal decline due to a number of factors, such as disproportionate economicdevelopment among Third Worldist states,3 political differences and the failure to establish a'common programme for international economic and political reform.'4 Within the literaturerelating to Third Worldism, the concept of the Third World itself, and the three worldsscheme, there is a lively debate with some arguing that the concept has become ananachronism,5 others maintaining that the concept maintains significance in the contemporaryera. Furthermore, while there is general consensus within the literature that Third Worldismhas experienced a declining trend, some argue that there is both the need and space for arevival of Third Worldism.6 ==1 Arif Dirlik, 'Spectres of the Third World' Global Modernity and the End of the Three Worlds,' Third WorldQuarterly 25 (2004): 131; Vicky Randall, 'Using and Abusing the Concept of the Third World: Geopolitics andthe Comparative Political Study of Development and Underdevelopment,' Third World Quarterly 25 (2004):43; Marc Williams, 'Re-Articulating the Third World Coalition: The Role of the Environmental Agenda,' ThirdWorld Quarterly 14 (1993): 7; Mark T.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Bachelor Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - Topic: International Organisations, grade: 70, University of Cape Town (Department of Political Science), course: International Relations, language: English, abstract: A large portion of the literature that deals with the evolution of the R2P focuses on the principle¿s progression from the ICISS report to the HLP report, the Secretary-General¿s report and ultimately the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document. This thesis provides a discussion of the main events and arguments that have influenced the debate around the R2P and the principle¿s evolution, namely, the war on terror and the 2003 war in Iraq, the crisis in Darfur, and lastly, U.N. Security Council buy-in regarding the ICISS articulated criteria to guide the use of military force in humanitarian intervention. The thesis is divided into three sections, the first providing a conceptual background to humanitarian intervention. The second part shifts the discussion to the ICISS and the R2P, and the final section focuses on the main factors that have influenced the principle¿s evolution. A central theme underlying the reason for the undertaking of this thesis is the claim that the international system is experiencing a change in the writers/authors of the rules of the system. The argument is built by using the abovementioned main factors influencing the R2P¿s evolution as evidence ¿ the central assertion being that the war in Iraq has weakened the moral standing of the U.S. and the U.K., and has negatively impacted on the credibility of these states as norm carriers. This has not only diminished their ability to build consensus on and commitment to the R2P, but has also engendered widespread hostility and suspicion towards the principle. The result is an international endorsement of the R2P that is substantially different from its initial emergence in the ICISS report, which by many accounts lacks much of the substance which would have enabled a decisive response from the international society to situations where such action is needed most.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.
