Back to the front: Tracing reverberations of the South West African border wars of the 1970s and 1980s

Morris, Mandy Isobel 18 March 2008 (has links)
ABSTRACT This research report comprises two parts: a theoretical introduction and a creative component. The theoretical introduction explores the extensive impact of militarism in South Africa during the South West African Border Wars of the 1970s and 1980s. It also reflects on some of the literary issues that were encountered during the research period. The creative component consists of three short stories that examine some of the reverberations of living in a militarised state.

Operators at the borders: the hero as change agent in border literature

Handelman, Jonathan Steven 30 September 2004 (has links)
This study of borders in literature investigates the ways the frontier and then the border entered the national consciousness and developed into the entities they are presently. The focus here on the border in literature is organized around the role of border heroes as they bring instability and change to the geographic border region and to more metaphoric border regions. This study not only addresses the individual border hero's role and attributes, but also focuses more generally on the border hero's role as an emblem of the struggle for change. Toward this end, I support the importance to border criticism of border agents by showing their presence and essential participation in the work of Américo Paredes, some of the earliest writing on borders and border agents.

Lee, Cheng-Chan 17 January 2009 (has links)
Global people movement passes through cress-border by economic prosperity. Each nation loosens the factor of national safety for economic advantage, let cress-borders people movement is free and convenience. After 911 terrorist attacked, cross-border people movement is challenge to focus events again. At the same time, the safety of border management is suspected again, include legal and illegal migration, ex: human traffic, smuggle, terrorist attack. The plan of migration policy is attraction and admission about professional and high-tech personnel. In addition, it is relaxed stay and residence of professional for limit of border management. Each nation considers the problems about national benefits and border management because the demand of each nation is diffident. It will have the balance to comment blesses it to push aside the effect. Each nation cooperates about border control of global people movement, and makes land settlement policy importantly.

Comparative analysis of policies and practices of border control and the detention of illegal immigrants in the United States and the European Union

Hernandez, Christine Elyse January 2011 (has links)
Illegal immigration has been a major topic of concern in the last few years in both the United States and the European Union; the policies and practices of border control and the use of detention have often been the center for political debate. Assessing the policies in the United States and the European Union in regards to how 'liberal' each are carried out through practice provides insight to the disparity between policy and practice. The thesis analyzes and compares the discourse used written into the policies, official government guidelines, and reports which focus on the approval and criticism of how the polices are put into practice through the United States and European Union government agencies; whist providing data on recent illegal immigrant trends along the U.S.-Mexican border, as well as the Greek-Turkish border. The results discovered conclude that the European Union writes more 'liberal' discourse into their policy and government guidelines than the United States; the European Union illustrates more concern for fundamental individual rights while carrying out practice along the borders; but is falling short in ensuring that Member States (such as Greece) carry out other policy areas up to European Union standards, in this case the use of detention. The implications of the thesis offer...

Security Issue of BGP in complex Peering and Transit Networks

Khalid, Muhammad Adnan, Nazir, Qamar January 2009 (has links)
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a critical routing protocol of the internet, used to exchange routing information between autonomous systems (ASes). BGP is highly vulnerable to many attacks that can cause routing disturbance on the internet. This paper describes BGP attacks, misconfigurations, causes of misconfigurations, impact of these attacks and misconfigurations in BGP and counter measures. Also we analyze new security architectures for BGP, comparison of these security protocols and their deployment issues. At the end we propose new security solution that is Defensive Routing Policy (DRP) to prevent BGP from malicious attacks and misconfigurations. DRP is operationally deployable and very effective to solve BGP problems.
