Political Analysis International Citizens Change the World Last year's two campaigns for minority shareholders and saving the Tong River, which were mainly presided over respectively by the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy (PSPD) and the Korean Federation for Environmental Movement (KFEM), were representative models of civic groups' power in Korea. The minority shareholders, which are called 'Swarms of Ants', won the suits against majority shareholders in claiming compensation, and the KFEM, as it opposed to the planning of Tong River dam construction in the province of Kangwon Yongwol, made the government reevaluate whether the place is suitable or not for dam construction. In this atmosphere of national concern for civic groups, the 1999 Seoul International Conference of NGOs' will be held in October. This event on the subject of the NGOs' role for the 21st century will provide us opportunities for the collaboration between domestic civic groups and abroad, the vivid activation movement by means of construction of world-wide networks and promoting citizens' consciousness of Korean society. Non-governmental organizations, or NGOs, indicate voluntary nonprofit organizations or groups who have the same ideas on a specific purpose or duty. This fact explains why NGOs include all the forms of organizations, groups, societies,associations, federations or movements and so on. But the governmental branches and profit groups are exceptions. The term of 'NGO' was said openly after the United Nations provided cooperation provisions in Charter Article 71. There are several kinds of NGOs. Some of them have concerns only for their own members' interests. But most of them work as independent watchdogs of the country or local community. And some of them are devoted to international problems. From the issues of women, children, the handicapped, the poor, refugees, and consumers to human rights, peace, relief, development, health, education environment and culture, NGOs' concerns and fields are boundless.

Stakeholders Participation Social risk The scope of social analysis Social risks This entry point is crucial. It is here that the analyst asks, What can go wrong? What sort of risk management measures should be designed to address identified risks? Once we take all risks and risk management measures into account, is the project still justified? Answering these questions requires pursuing the other entry points of analysis. The social risks of any project can be broken down into five categories ( Table 2.2) Vulnerability risks includes increased exposure or susceptibility, especially of the vulnerable and poor, to endemic risks or external shocks. The analyst explores how to manage such risks. Three other kinds of risk can affect the project itself. Country risks -e.g. political instability, ethnic or religious tensions, violent conflict and the militarization of society-are often beyond the control of individual task managers but must be considered during project appraisal. Case Example Analytic work Strategic Outputs Political economy risks are those that might affect the project's intended beneficiaries as an indirect result of the project. Undermining of goals and elite capture of benefits are good examples of this type of risk.

Stakeholders Participation Social risk The Scope of Social Analysis: The Five Entry Points Institutions, rules, and behavior This entry point is used to understand the relationship between organizations and institutions, that is, the formal and informal rules of the game in society. This is critical because many development interventions, including projects and policy reforms, depend for their implementation on institutional change. It is often assumed that institutions (including markets) function smoothly and according to formal rules. In practice, though, transaction costs, ineffective enforcement and lack of competition or accountability can lead to sub-optimal performance of government, market, or civil institutions. Institutions are commonly accepted codes or rules that govern or influence behavior and that allow organizations to interact. The Napoleonic Code, the potlatch of the indigenous people of the northwest coast of North America, the tradition of the samurai in Japan-all are institutions, and all have rules. Organizations, by contrast, are formal structures with defined roles, responsibilities and decision-making processes. Organizations may be mere structures, real only in the legal sense unless they start to function. Organizations can, over time, become institutionalized.

These sites include those on both sides of the debate; some asserting that global warming is a clear and present danger, and others that might be labeled global warming "skeptics." Some of these sites don't take a position per se; they exist to offer the public objective scientific information and results on our present understanding of the climate system. The list is not intended to be comprehensive, by any means. We hope it will be especially helpful for those who may be just beginning their research into global climate change issues.

The last local ballot had seen the level of women's representation decline, and so the Network, a national umbrella organization for women's groups, set up a novel project called Engendering Local Government. It was designed to enhance the campaign skills of gender-sensitive women candidates and sweep a critical mass into office, where they could make a substantial impact on policy. When the results were tallied, the percentage of women representatives had reached its highest level ever. From the beginning, the project aimed to cultivate a more equitable sharing of power in Trinidad and Tobago, a parliamentary democracy, and to encourage popular participation in municipal bodies. It also sought to teach the Network member organizations about the challenges of making political systems work for women. The project targeted local government as a particularly strategic point to intervene because it is located squarely between the national government, which controls most state resources, and the daily needs of communities and families.

Cooperative Analysis of Aspects of the Kosova/Kosovo Conflict Political and Historical Context With the death in 1980 of longtime Yugoslav leader Josep Broz Tito, the relationship between Kosovar Albanians and the Yugoslav government began to deteriorate noticeably. Throughout the 1980s, tensions between ethnic Kosovar Albanians and the Yugoslav government rose. These tensions peaked in 1989 when Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic officially revoked Kosova/Kosovo’s autonomous status within the Republic of Serbia. This action exacerbated the already volatile situation, further setting Serbia and Kosova/Kosovo on a course toward conflict. Reacting to their increasing political marginalization by the Yugoslav government, Kosovar Albanians declared Kosova/Kosovo an independent republic within the Yugoslav state in 1990. Two years later, the self-declared republic elected its own parliament and named Ibrahim Rugova as president. Until the mid-1990s, the Kosovar Albanians adhered to a policy of peaceful resistance embraced by Rugova. However, by 1996, Rugova and his policy of non-violent opposition were increasingly discredited due to their inability to raise international support for the Kosovar Albanians’ cause. Internal opposition forces began to take a more assertive approach and support for civil disobedience grew. It was at this time that the Kosova/Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK in its Albanian acronym) emerged as an armed opposition force.

By Romilly Greenhill th October 2002 Introduction Indeed, in 2000, the world's leaders seemed to wake up. In a United Nations Resolution, they committed themselves to `spare no effort to free our fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanising conditions of extreme poverty ...and to free the entire human race from want The Unbreakable Link – Debt Relief and the Millennium Development Goals , we analysed the resource requirements of each country to meet the MDGs, and looked at how much would be `spare' for debt service payments if the MDGs were to be met. The result, for almost all HIPC countries, was substantially less than zero. Jubilee Research has used these findings to call for an in international insolvency framework based on Chapter 9 of the US Legal Code . The `Jubilee Framework', as it has been dubbed, would operate under the key principles of domestic bankruptcy laws, which include `the protection of the human rights, and human dignity of the debtor, as well as the rights of creditors '. The IMF has accepted the need for an international insolvency framework, and, working with private creditors in particular, is designing a mechanism they call the Sovereign Debt Restructuring Mechanism (SDRM).

Chapter 6: Relevant Activities of Industry, Public Interest Groups and the Research Sector 6.1 Description of Organizations/Programmes 6.2 Summary of Expertise Available Outside of Government 6.3 Comments and Analysis Ethiopia embarked, in 1992, on a Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) whereby a large number of reform measures were instituted. The main aim of SAP was to bring about macro-economic stability, socio-economic recovery and create conducive environment for a heightened participation of the private sector so that it becomes the principal actor in the economy while the public sector concentrates only on social sector and the development of infrastructure. As a result, the country is experiencing a rapid development of the private sector. Medium and large-scale industries, which were formerly public owned, are being privatized. A large majority of Ethiopian industries import chemicals from abroad independently based on their needs. Local production of industrial chemicals is limited both in kind and quantity. Only a few factories in the chemical sector produce raw chemicals that are used in the processing and manufacturing industries. These factories are Zeway Caustic Soda Plant, Awash Melkassa Aluminium Sulphate and Sulphuric Acid Factory and Alkyd Resin Factory. All these factories are still under the public sector. The production, import, distribution and transport of chemicals are not regulated as far as the management of chemicals in this country is concerned. The transport of chemicals, like all other goods, from the port of Djibouti to Ethiopia is mainly by road. The Ethio-Djibouti Railway S. Co. is an important means of transport from the port of Djibouti to Ethiopia. It is very much evident that chemicals are not receiving proper attention and care during haulage by road or rail. Chemical storage facilities for goods, both in transit and in storage depots, are poor. There often occurs the repackaging of chemicals in unsuitable containers or packets. Consequently, the handling of these chemicals is poorly managed and for this reason not only is the public at risk but also the environment gets polluted.

Chapter 6: Relevant Activities Outside of Government 6.1 Description of Organisations/Programmes 6.2 Summary of Expertise Available Outside of Government 6.3 Comment/Analysis The approach adopted by institutions outside of government in relation to the management of chemicals is that of lobbying for action by interest groups. These institutions do not have legal mandates or powers to enforce what they believe in. The institutions in this category vary, ranging from universities and research institutions, professional and industrial organisations and NGOs, to individuals. Their effectiveness depends on how wide their membership is and the relevance of their activities to national issues and chemicals management. 6.1 Description of Organisations/Programmes Professional and Industrial Organisations Zambia Association of Manufacturers (ZAM) ERZ, PO Box 31992 Tel: 229364/5 Fax: 221972 This organisation has a membership composed of manufacturers of various products.

Local Government and Civil Society In 1996, the Government of Tanzania embarked on a major program to restructure the Local Government (LGRP). The LGRP is to be gradually implemented in all LCs of Tanzania. In 2002, Karagwe District will be among the last batch of districts to be restructured along the lines of the LGRP. monitoring and evaluation. In essence, the LGRP is based on the notion that devolution of resources and authority increases opportunities for local stakeholders (Local Councils, communities, NGOs and private sector operators) to become more fully and accountably involved in local development. Furthermore, the LGRP is based on the premise that sustainable development can only take place through a coordinated effort of all those district based stakeholders as they legitimately represent concerns and needs of the district population in the most appropriate and realistic manner. In fact, the LGRP is an attempt to institutionalize the concept of good governance e.g. the transparent and responsible application of authority and means by the government, in dialogue with the population.
