CHILD
55051
Author: Dave Marson
File Type: pdf
Dave Marsons excellent 1973 pamphlet on the little-known mass walkouts of schoolchildren in the UK and Ireland in 1911, the same year that saw widespread industrial unrest and strikes. Their demands included shorter hours and an end to corporal punishment in the form of the cane and the strap.Now began the gradual spreading of the strike-fever among school children. The very next day a strike broke out in the Edgehill district of Liverpool. It was here the children began to show their initiative and remembering how their fathers had been organised they elected a strike committee which presented demands to the school teachers that there should be abolition of the cane, and an extra half-day holiday per week. Having demanded sufficient on the destructive side they turned to the constructive policy. Monitors were called upon to perform certain work. Why should they not be paid?a see-footnote id=footnoteref7_6j2mypl title= Northern Daily Mail 9 Sept. 1911. href=httpslibcom.orghistorychildrens-strikes-1911#footnote7_6j2mypl7a The strikers marched around the Edgehill schools, calling on other boys to come out and support them in their demands. Several of the loyal pupils said they were attacked and beaten with sticks when they refused to join the strikers. Indeed such was the outlook at one time that the calling out of a company of Boy Scouts was suggested.

THE P
30995
Author: Roger Hardy
File Type: epub
The conflicts and crises of todays Middle East are rooted in the colonial era. To better understand them, we need to acknowledge how Western imperialism negatively shaped the region and its destiny in the half-century between World War I and the happenings of the Cold War. That is the challenging argument of The Poisoned Well, which provides a vivid account of the struggle against European colonial rule in ten states stretching from North Africa to south Arabia. Drawing on a rich cast of eye-witnesses - ranging from nationalists and colonial administrators to soldiers, spies, and courtesans - The Poisoned Well brings to life the story of the making of the Middle East, highlighting the great dramas of decolonization such as the end of the Palestine mandate, the Suez crisis, the Algerian war of independence, and the retreat from Aden. It argues that imperialism sowed the seeds of future conflict - and poisoned relations between the Middle East and the West. Bolstered by firsthand accounts and interviews, readers will find a wise and humanistic account of the struggle for independence in the Middle East. Written by a former BBC journalist, it is a far-ranging, landmark work that will serve as the definitive history of Western imperialism in the Middle East for years to come. **

Through a comparative analysis of six case studies, this volume illustrates key conflict-resolution techniques for peacebuilding. Outside parties learn how to facilitate cooperation by engaging local leaders in intensive, interactive workshops. These opposing leaders reside in small, ethnically divided countries, including Burundi, Cyprus, Estonia, Guyana, Sri Lanka, and Tajikistan, that have experienced communal conflicts in recent years. In Estonia and Guyana, peacebuilding initiatives sought to ward off violence. In Burundi and Sri Lanka, initiatives focused on ending ongoing hostilities, and in Cyprus and Tajikistan, these efforts brought peace to the country after its violence had ended. The contributors follow a systematic assessment framework, including a common set of questions for interviewing participants to prepare comparable results from a set of diverse cases. Their findings weigh the successes and failures of this particular approach to conflict resolution and draw conclusions about the conditions under which such interactive approaches work, as well as assess the audience and the methodologies used. This work features research conducted in conjunction with the Working Group on Preventing and Rebuilding Failed States, convened by the Wilson Centers Project on Leadership and Building State Capacity. **ReviewThis book charts new territory in its structured approach to understanding whether it is possible to build up will among host country or society leaders to take on peacebuilding roles, and if so, how. It focuses on leadership engagement, an element that has long been recognized as essential to peace processes.--Pamela Aall, U.S. Institute of Peace Specialists will look to this book for evidence of past success and failure, and for guidance on future projects.--Anthony Wanis-St. John, American University Book Description Through a comparative analysis of six case studies, this volume illustrates key conflict-resolution techniques for peacebuilding.

OLIVE

Author: Lin Foxhall
File Type: pdf
Lin Foxhall explores the cultivation of the olive as an extended case study for understanding ancient Greek agriculture in its landscape, economic, social, and political settings. Evidence from written sources, archaeology, and visual images is assembled to focus on what was special about the cultivation and processing of the olive in classical and archaic Greece, and how and why these practices differed from Roman ones. This investigation opens up new ways of thinking about the economies of the archaic and classical Greek world.Review[Foxhall] writes with a winning style that is never laborious or pedantic.... Foxhalls work is thorough and enlightening at every step of the way. All the important bases are covered.--D. Brent Sandy, The Bulletin of the American Society of PapyrologistsAbout the AuthorLin Foxhall is Professor of Greek Archaeology and History at the University of Leicester.

CLIMA

Author: James R. Lee
File Type: pdf
This book examines the evolution of the relationship between climate change and conflict, and attempts to visualize future trends.Owing to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, current trends in climate change will not appreciably alter over the next half century even if drastic action is taken now. Changes in climate will produce unique types and modes of conflict, redefine the value of important resources, and create new challenges to maintaining social order and stability. This book examines the consequences of climate change and argues that it has and will produce two types of different types of conflict cold wars and hot wars. Cold wars will occur in northern and southern latitudes as warming draws countries into possible conflict due to expanding interests in exploiting new resources and territories (inter-state conflict). Hot wars will break out around the equator as warming expands and intensifies dry areas, increasing competition for scarce resources (intra-state conflict). Conflict is not inevitable, but it will also be a consequence of how states, international institutions and people react to changes in climate. Climate change and conflict have always shaped human experiences. This book lays out the parameters of the relationship, shows its history, and forecasts its trends, offering future conditions and opportunities for changing the historical path we are on.This book will be of great interest for students of climate change and environmental security, peace and conflict studies, and IRsecurity studies in general.James R. Lee is a Professor in the School of International Service, American University, Washington, DC and Associate Director of American Universitys Center for Teaching Excellence.
