Magister Artium (Development Studies) - MA(DVS) / During this study, the challenges and best practices of youth participation in problem identification, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of programmes were investigated and the effect of project outcomes on the youth and its implications for community development observed. The use of the qualitative research methodology to examine the extent to which the youth are involved in the decision-making processes was employed. In addition, a literature review that pertained to youth development and participatory community development was conducted. In particular, the participatory concept, and its relation to the inclusion of the youth at the decision-making table, was examined. By providing evidence from the empirical data, an argument is presented that there are internal rigidities that are a hindrance to the youth in expressing their voice in the decision-making platform. However, the conclusion can be drawn that in order to understand the process of participatory development, it is crucial for the youth, community development practitioners and other stakeholders to understand the socio-economic conditions surrounding the youth as these will ensure positive programme outcomes as well as subsequent sustainable youth development. / South Africa

Viabilizada por uma abordagem metodológica de natureza eminentemente qualitativa em sede de AD (sigla que identifica a Análise do Discurso como pechêuxtiana ou de origem francesa), a investigação também recebe contribuições críticas – das searas jurídica e feminista, por exemplo – a partir das quais o dispositivo teórico possibilitou a percepção das principais ideologias atravessando os dizeres e silêncios daqueles/as parlamentares sobre família no processo de elaboração da Constituição Federal de 1988. Os efeitos de sentidos, interesses, lutas, negociações e demais elementos constitutivos deste processo (entrecruzamento da história com as ideologias a partir das condições de produção) foram analisados objetivando responder três principais questões: 1. As disposições da Constituição Federal de 1988 sobre família atenderam, naquele singular momento histórico, aos reais anseios da sociedade brasileira quanto aos seus direitos e relações familiares? 2. Tal conteúdo, à luz das proposições e debates travados pelas/os constituintes, foi o melhor produto legislativo sobre família que a ANC/1987-88 poderia ter oferecido à nação naquela conjuntura redemocratizadora? 3. As/os constituintes, ao desatrelarem família e casamento do caput do art. 226 da CF/1988, fizeram-no conscientes das aberturas interpretativas inclusivas que isto possibilitaria discursivamente, via jurisprudência, no futuro? / Structured especially from the Analysis of the French Discourse through the theoretical contributions of the philosopher Michel Pêcheux (France, 1960/XX century) and linguist Eni Orlandi (its main theoretical exponent in Brazil), this thesis takes for the construction of its analytical instrument, the collection of the National Constituent Assembly of 1987/88, of whose propositions and debates on the subject of family was organized the corpus. Made possible by a highly qualitative approach based on AD (acronym that identifies the Discourse Analysis as pechêuxtiana or French origin), the research also receives critical contributions – of legal and feminist fields, for example - from which the theoretical instrument enabled the perception of the main ideologies through the words and silences of those parliamentary individuals about family in the drafting of the 1988 Constitution process. The effects of meanings, interests, struggles, negotiations and other constituent elements of this process (interweaving of history with ideologies from the production conditions) were analyzed aiming to answer three main questions: 1. Did the provisions of the 1988 Federal Constitution on family attended in that unique historical moment, the real aspirations of Brazilian society about their rights and family relationships? 2. Such content in the light of proposals and debates by constituents was it the best legislative product on family that 1987-88 ANC could have offered the nation in that re-democratizing situation? 3. When the constituents disconnected family and marriage of caput in art. 226 of 1988 CF, were they aware of consequent openings and inclusively interpretation that would enable discursively, through

<p>The first part of this study evaluates the historical events that led to the referral of the DRC situation to the ICC. This includes the background of the conflict and the extent to which international crimes have been committed. Both regional and domestic attempts and initiatives to address the conflict are discussed, with specific reference to peace agreements and restorative justice mechanisms. The second part of the study deals with the prosecution of the perpetrators by the ICC. It examines the approach of the Pre- Trial Chamber to two legal issues, the principle of complementarity and modes of criminal participation as part of the ICC Statute. In this regard, the study makes a critical evaluation of two preliminary decisions confirming the charges against Lubanga, Katanga and Chui before the cases proceeded to the trial stage.</p>
