How does state security limit the right to protest? State response to popular participation in South Africa

In South Africa, the right to protest has come under threat from the state. Increasing cases of forceful policing and, at times, unlawful procedural prohibitions of protest attest to this. Interviews with members of different community-based organisations across South Africa show that protest is sometimes delegitimised under the guise of security as protestors are constructed as threats to the state. The larger implication of this treatment is that these protestors are treated as non-citizens who are excluded from participating in governance. This study aims to describe this situation through securitisation theory, arguing that South Africa has become a securitised state. It therefore looks at the implications of this securitised response for popular participation in South Africa.

运用ECO开发基于UML的工作流系统

运用UML进行建模并运用MDA方法生成系统代码已成为当前工作流系统设计开发的一大发展趋势。经过多年发展的ECO技术为.Net环境下运用MDA方法开发基于UML的稳定高效的软件系统提供了很好支持,而ECOⅢ则通过支持UML动态建模,使得ECO具备了开发基于UML工作流系统的能力。通过示例介绍了运用ECO进行工作流开发的一般流程,着重展现运用ECO开发工作流系统的可行性和高效性。     

面向WWW业务的移动台状态转移算法研究

文章以下一代移动通信系统中的 WWW 业务为应用场景,提出了一种动态控制移动台状态转移行为的算法。算法的目的是有效地均衡 WWW 会话过程中的控制开销和信令连接占用效率两方面性能。文章采用Pareto 分布建立 WWW 业务模型。算法同时考虑了状态转移和移动性管理对总的控制开销的影响。仿真结果表明,该算法对信令连接重建概率和信令连接占用效率两方面性能提供了良好的平衡机制,并使控制开销总量维持在较低水平。

The ligaments of counter-terrorism regime: sexual violence and the vicarious traumatisation of female non-governmental organisation workers: evidence from Nigeria

ABSTRACT

There is a dearth of studies on indirect victims of sexual violence in counter-terrorism efforts. Using Nigeria as a case study, this paper argues that global and state-level counter-terrorism policies have generally failed to account for the psychological effects of the engagement of female NGO workers in counter-terrorism operations or mitigating the effects of terrorism in conflict zones. Specifically, there has been an increase in sexual violence perpetrated by some members of the security agencies involved in counter-terrorism operations in North-eastern Nigeria. As a result, female NGO workers carry out Medicare, psychosocial counselling and advocacy for these victims. Female NGO workers become exposed to the trauma of victims of sexual violence, which affects their mental health and thus performances in counter-terrorism activities in the country. This altered their worldview on issues of safety even among secured locations or among the presence of security agents and reinforced feelings of powerlessness.     

US grand strategy and the origins of the developmental state

ABSTRACT

Scholars have credited a model of state-led capitalism called the ‘developmental state’ with producing the economic miracles of Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. This article examines how the developmental state was shaped by the Cold War. US grand strategy focused on accelerating economic development among allies that were under the greatest threat from Communist China and North Korea. American aid agencies became involved in the process of state-building in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan and supported economic planning. I verify this claim by contrasting US policies on Taiwan with US policies in the Philippines, which faced a weaker Communist threat.
