Bulgaria - NONGOVERNMENTAL POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS A major concession by the postZhivkov party was removal of party cells from all state offices, the judiciary, educational and health agencies, as well as all nongovernmental workplaces--a concession forced by the UDF's threat to boycott the round table negotiations that would set a national agenda for political reform early in 1990. More about the Government and Politics of Bulgaria. In 1986 the Thirteenth Party Congress elected an eleven-member Politburo dominated by party loyalists of Zhivkov's generation but supplemented by a few younger specialists in politics and economics. countrystudies.us /bulgaria/48.htm   (891 words)

Satya April 04: Interview with Ward Churchill It’s basically, politically a consecration or concession of physical force to the state by those who purport to oppose the state. Ward Churchill is perhaps one of the most provocative thinkers around. Even if there is a sort of inchoate understanding of a position of privilege in society, coming from an economically affluent background, if you’re not going to face physical violence, ultimately, you are subject to consequences which are not physical: an erosion of your privilege, a making of your life more uncomfortable. www.satyamag.com /apr04/churchill.html   (2455 words)

Nationalism In Hungary, by contrast, the fate of Transylvanian Hungarians that was such a fundamental feature of politics in the late 1980s receded from center-stage and became merely A characteristic -- rather than THE characteristic -- of the broader transition. By contrast, Hungarian political influence in Transylvania was widely regarded as the price Bucharest had to pay for having all of Transylvania returned at the end of the war and as a sop to communist leaders in Budapest who had to defend a deeply unpopular concession. The role of nationalism -- and "diaspora politics" specifically -- in the Hungarian transition is easily forgotten in the wake of the brutal wars of Yugoslav succession, Hungary's comparatively smooth postcommunist evolution, and the eventual postcommunist warming of relations between Hungary and Romania. www.balkans.mehedinti.info /studies/nationalism.htm   (3546 words)

Trade and Border Security as Political Issues in Canada by Howard Cody - Maine Policy Review - Margaret Chase Smith Center for Public Policy By the mid-1990s, Canadian opposition to free trade in mainstream politics was confined to the politically marginal left-wing New Democrats. Canadians considered this concession a perfectly reasonable quid pro quo for Americans' guaranteed access to Canada's energy resources and to its banking and investment services. Even so, Canadians were annoyed that Mexico had managed to convince American negotiators that the nationalistic Mexican public could not accept free trade unless their government retained the right to control Mexico's energy resources and investment. www.umaine.edu /mcsc/MPR/Vol12No1/cody.htm   (3546 words)

Cambodia Wood Exports and Deforestation Cambodia's co-Premiers, Prince Norodom Ranarriddh and Hun Sen authorized a logging contract with a Malaysian company (Samling Corporation) in February 1995.(4) The deal provides for a 60-year logging concession covering 800,000 hectares or 4 percent of the entire country. At the second stage (Royal Cambodia ban), this case is a disagreement between Finance, Environment, and the Defense ministries of Cambodia and Thailand. Cambodia's forests have been devastated by the 20- years of Cambodian conflict between four factions--Front Uni National pour un Cambodge Ind pendent, Neutre, Pacifique et Coop ratif (FUNCINPEC), Khmer People's National liberation Front (KPNLF), the Party of Democratic Kampuchea (DK or so-called ‘Khmer Rouge'), and the State of Cambodia (SOC). gurukul.ucc.american.edu /ted/camwood.htm   (1872 words)

The Politics of Water in Bolivia Three days later Bolivia's president issued a decree canceling the water concession, led by the French water giant Suez, and an arm of the World Bank itself. Ecuador's new president discusses the confidential World Bank agreements that are shackling his nation. Bolivia's second citizen revolt against water privatization in five years ought to give the officials working in that building a moment of pause, to ask why the theory that seems to work so well on paper seems to work out so badly once it hits the ground. www.thenation.com /doc/20050214/shultz   (456 words)

The Daily Star - Politics - Jordan's finance minister steps down amid criticism King Abdullah II said in a letter to Prime Minister Adnan Badran that the resignation was a "concession" to the public in the interests of the country. Official statistics show that Jordan's active work force stands at 23 percent, or 1.2 million out of a population of 5.3 million. Badran's new government vowed to step up the pace of reform, but it came under attack from a group of 49 MPs in the 110-member house who threatened a no-confidence vote unless the Cabinet's economic team was changed. www.dailystar.com.lb /article.asp?edition_id=10&categ_id=2&article_id=15987   (443 words)

Necessary Virtue: The Pragmatic Origins of Religious Liberty in New England,by Charles P. Hanson He examines the efforts of New Englanders to make sense of their own shifting ideas of Catholicism and anti-Catholicism and traces the "necessary virtue" of religious toleration to its origins in pragmatic cultural politics. To some patriots, abandoning traditional anti-Catholicism meant shedding an obsolete relic of the intolerant colonial past; others saw it as a temporary concession to be reversed as soon as possible. " Necessary Virtue has implications for many areas of research in Revolutionary politics and religion. www.upress.virginia.edu /books/hanson.html   (443 words)

Excerpt from J.H. Bamberg on Soviet Interest in Iranian Oil During World War II, The History of the British Petroleum Company, Volume 2, The Anglo-Iranian Years, 1928 (Cambriage: Cambridge University Press, 1994), pp. 250-257. The Company was not directly involved, but was dragged into the limelight by clause (E) of the single article law which marked the beginning of a period in which Iranian politics was dominated by the Company's concession. Qavam was in a difficult position, for politically he could not afford to jeopardise the prospect of a Soviet troop withdrawal; he could not undermine Iranian sovereignty in Azerbaijan by agreeing to the province's autonomy; and he could not defy the Majlis over oil concessions in the light of the law of 2 December 1944. At the same time as the Company's pattern of employment was affected by the war, a chain of events was set in motion which was to have an unsettling effect on the Company's concessionary position. www.mtholyoke.edu /acad/intrel/Petroleum/bamberg.htm   (443 words)

Eugene Staley. War and the Private Investor. 1935. Footnotes. Chapters 1-8. When Rhodes went into Cape politics in 1881, says a biographer, he bought a share in the Cape Argus in order to have an organ to print his speeches and other things he might give it, though he assured the editor he would not interfere with its policies. Maimon told Rouet [the accomplice in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, sentenced to three years] of efforts which he had been making for several years to obtain the concession for a railway in the Orient to the profit of a group of French and foreign personages;... He wants, as has been repeatedly mentioned in this correspondence, to play an active and decisive rôle in foreign politics." In the Homs-Bagdad matter, Tardieu had suggested a sort of compromise between the German Bagdad Railway plans and the French plans. www.ku.edu /carrie/texts/world_war_I/investor/notes1.html   (8897 words)

shia.htm The two religious leaders at the time (Ayatollah Mohammad Hussein Borujerdi and Ayatollah Mohammad Mousavi Behbahani) stressed that clergy must stay away from day-to-day politics and this view was opposed by Ayatollah Abul Qasim Kashani who had been imprisoned several times. The leading Shia authority of the day, Mirza Hassan Shirazi encouraged clergies to mount a campaign in Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz and Mashhad against the tobacco concession with British and declared tobacco to be haram until the shah had cancelled the concession to Talbot (1892).

Bangkok Post: General Election 2001 In 1990 when Thaksin made a successful bid for a 20-year concession from the Telephone Organization of Thailand he was almost broke, as reported by Post reporters, but still had the daring to offer the TOT 20 billion baht in concession fees to garner the contract. With a self-proclaimed goal of cleaning up Thai politics, Thaksin entered political life in 1994 when he was appointed foreign minister under the cabinet quota of the Palang Dharma Party. Thaksin Shinawatra (pronounced "Chin-a-what") was born on July 26, 1949 in Chiang Mai, where the family silk business has been successful for over fifty years and has expanded into a bus line and movie theatres. www.bangkokpost.com /election2001/thaksinprofile.html   (640 words)

The New French Left At his concession speech Jospin announced his retirement from politics. While he describes his present politics as "on the left socially, on the right economically," he remains a politician to whom the adjective "fascist" can be applied as not just an epithet but a description. Despite an economic downturn that followed the American dot-com recession, three-and-a-half booming years at the beginning of Jospin's term have left the French vastly better off than they were when he came to power in April 1997. www.weeklystandard.com /Content/Public/Articles/000/000/001/162pmono.asp   (612 words)

BBC News UK POLITICS Ministers listen to police reform fears Home Office Minister of State Lord Rooker made the concession after a series of Tory former cabinet ministers, senior Liberal Democrats and Lord Condon warned that the Home Secretary was wrong to try to control police forces around the country from Whitehall. Lord Rooker said he was going to "take away what peers have said with the force and experience they bring to bear" to ask officials if a form of words could be found "to meet their requirements".

The Eureka Stockade 1854 -- 1954 Of the years 1855-6, William Westgarth, Chairman of the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce, in 1864, wrote: “The large masses upon the goldfields, and especially the great population now centred in Melbourne and Geelong, gave an irresistible precipitancy to the colony’s politics. The resignation of Colonial Secretary, J. (“ Alphabetical”) Foster was the first major concession to mass indignation and Hotham admitted that had he refused to accept it “the Queen’s colony would be placed in jeopardy.” Sir Charles Hotham and astute squatter politicians like William Foster Stawell (a W. Wentworth of Victoria!) understood in their alarm, that never again should class domination be allowed to become so nakedly obvious. www.agitprop.org.au /lefthistory/19541101_rdw_the_eureka_stockade_1854_1954.php   (563 words)

Ray Walston and Gwen Verdon sizzle as the horned one and his temptress. It includes "Whatever Lola Wants," "Two Lost Souls" and "Heart."

Britain resumes deportation of Zimbabweans THE British government is to end its two-year suspension of deportations of failed asylum seekers to Zimbabwe because the concession has been abused, the immigration minister, Des Browne, announced Tuesday. Deporting Zimbabweans might be good politics in the interim, but it leaves Tony Blair's failure to tackle Mugabe or come up with a coherent policy on Zimbabwe horribly exposed. Mr Browne claimed this was clear evidence that the decision not to send anyone back was acting as a "pull factor" for others posing as Zimbabweans to apply for asylum in Britain. www.newzimbabwe.com /pages/asylumbrit3.11892.html   (633 words)

A short introduction to the history of Cyprus The Greek Government rejected the offer as the King of Greece who was of German origin was playing an important part in politics and did not want Greece to fight against Germany and her allies. The main problem which gave rise to continuous political protests by the population of Cyprus since the beginning of the British occupation was the fact that the British had imposed taxes to cover the compensation which they were paying to the Sultan for the concession af Cyprus to them. Cyprus is part of the Byzantine empire again, but the empire weakens and the crusaders realize Cyprus could be of great strategic value to them and their desire for the conquest of the Holy Land. www.teije.nl /cyprus/cyp_gesch_en.htm   (633 words)

UCLA International Institute :: Yegor Gaidar: Russia Has Done Better than You Think Gaidar's response was generous considering that Yeltsin ousted him as Prime Minister at the end of 1992 as a concession to the conservative backlash against Gaidar's "shock therapy." Gaidar in 2002 said of his former boss, "Yeltsin is a Russian institution, a revolutionary leader. Gaidar said that it was "inevitable there would be weak and unstable governments after the collapse of the previous regime." One reason for this was the far more important role politics played in the former Soviet economy compared to a market system. Gaidar was widely accused of taking this stand because many of the Central Asian states were poorer than Russia and Russia had a better chance to go it alone. www.isop.ucla.edu /article.asp?parentid=1964   (4644 words)
