Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Peace Parks Foundation (PPF) was established in 1997 to facilitate Transfrontier Conservation (TFCA) initiatives in the SADC region and thereby support economic development, conservation of biodiversity, as well as the promotion of regional peace and stability. To this effect, their regional planners require a thorough knowledge of the condition of areas in which the estimated actions will be carried out. To date, the PPF have used base datasets, such as land cover and population densities, in their GIS projects to support their decision making processes. However, they have realised the importance of developing rigorous methods for the extraction and generalization of biodiversity information for informed conservation decisions. The main aim of this study was, therefore, to develop a spatial framework for the generalisation and integration of data to become meaningful information that may be readily interpreted. The resultant framework represents a methodology for, firstly, identifying and, secondly, prioritizing core natural areas or units (CNU). CNUs were modelled to represent large blocks (minimum 100 km') of contiguous natural vegetation that are far from major roads and densely populated places. They were, then, ranked into three classes of importance (low, medium and high) according to an ecological value derived for each. This made the framework comprehensive in its considerations of regional biodiversity and robust enough to be used for planning at the SADC scale. By organising data and quantitative approaches logically in a robust, but rigorous, way, spatial frameworks provide the structure for combining specialized knowledge as well as scientific analysis and pragmatic politics in an effective planning process. This could guide plans which are proactive instead of reactive, visionary as well as pragmatic and well founded in research and understanding. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Peace Parks Foundation (PPF) was gestig in 1997 om oorgrens bewarings-initiatiewe in die SADC streek te fasiliteer en daardeur steun te verleen aan ekonomiese ontwikkeling, die bewaring van biodiversiteit asook die bevordering van vrede en stabiliteit in die streek. Om dit te behaal benodig die betrokke streeksbeplanners 'n grondige kennis van die toestand van die areas waarin die beoogdede aksies uitgevoer sal word. Tot op hede het die PPF basis datastelle, van byvoorbeeld landgebruik en populasie-digtheid, ingespan m hul GIS projekte om besluitnemingsprossese te ondersteun. Daar is egter besef dat dit van hoogste belang is om deeglike metodes te onwikkel vir die onttrekking van biodiversiteits-informasie sodat ingeligte besluitneming moontlik gemaak kan word. Gevolglik was die hoof oogmerk van hierdie studie om 'n ruimtelike verwysingsraamwerk te ontwikkel wat data kan veralgemeen en integreer tot betekenisvolle inligting wat geredelik interpreteerbaar is. Die daaruit-vloeiende raamwerk stel 'n metodologie voor wat Kern Natuurlike Areas (KNA) eerstens kan identifiseer en tweedens kan prioritiseer. Hierdie KNA is gemodelleer om groot blokke (minstens 100km2 ) van aaneenlopende natuurlike plantegroei, ver van hoofpaaie en dig bevolkte gebiede, voor te stel. Hulle is hieropvolgend gesorteer in drie range van belangrikheid (laag, medium en hoog) na gelang van 'n ekologiese waarde wat vir elk afgelei is. Hierdeur is die raamwerk, in terme van voldoende oorwegings teenoor streeks-biodiversiteit, omvattend gemaak en terselfdertyd robuus vir beplanning op die SADC skaal. Deur data en kwalitatiewe benaderings logies en in 'n deeglike en robuuste wyse te organiseer, bied ruimtelike verwysingsraamwerke die struktuur om gespesialiseerde kennis met wetenskaplike analise en pragmatiese politiek te kombineer in 'n effektiewe beplanningsproses. Hierdeur kan planne geformuleer word wat proaktief is instede van reaktief, visionêr sowel as pragmaties, en terselfdertyd goed gefundeer bly op navorsing en begrip.

A identificação de ações conjuntas nesse sentido poderá contribuir para que outras instituições reflitam sobre os melhores caminhos para se chegar ao padrão de excelência internacional. Diante disso, o presente trabalho analisa como ocorre a internacionalização dos cursos de pós-graduação da Univasf tendo em perspectiva os critérios de internacionalização da Capes e o modelo de Knight (1994) denominado círculo da internacionalização. Para tanto, apresentou-se uma revisão de literatura por meio de uma pesquisa de natureza exploratória descritiva com utilização do método de estudo de caso. A pesquisa constatou que a Capes foi identificada como catalisador relevante no processo de internacionalização da educação superior, uma vez que publica sua avaliação nacional por meio desses critérios, atribuindo notas para melhor conceituar os cursos de pós-graduação das universidades brasileiras. A análise dos resultados revelou que a internacionalização dos cursos de pós-graduação da Univasf ainda é bastante incipiente, já que não existe uma política formalmente institucionalizada com as razões, motivações e feimstr, actéognisatsa todue-vsidea qmueen taes aarçtiõcuelsa ddaes ceonotpree raa çUãnoi vianstef ren asceiounsa rle nsepsescati vionss tictuuirçsãoos . vPêomr sendo realizadas isoladamente por parte do corpo docente de maneira individualizada, em especial quando analisadas com base nos critérios de internacionalização da Capes. Diante dessa realidade, a formulação de uma política com o apoio e envolvimento de toda a comunidade acadêmica seria crucial para a definição de um processo sustentável de internacionalização na instituição. Somado a isso, sugere-se uma pesquisa mais aprofundada sobre esse tema para estudos futuros que tratem mais efetivamente desse assunto no sentido de auxiliar na definição de planejamentos e estratégias no âmbito internacional para as Instituições de Ensino Superior brasileiras. / Internationalization of higher education is an imminent reality today, so it is necessary that universities know how to take advantage of the dynamics of this international cooperation process outlining improvement and institutional quality strategies. The identification of joint activities in this direction can contribute so as to other institutions could reflect on the best ways to reach the international standard of excellence. Thus, the present study analyzes how is the internationalization of the Univasf post-graduate courses taking into perspective the Capes internationalization criteria and the Knight model (1994), called internationalization circle. Therefore, we performed a literature review through a descriptive exploratory research using the case study method. The study found that Capes was identified as an important catalyst in the international cooperation process, as it publishes its national assessment through these criteria, assigning grades to better conceptualize postgraduate courses in Brazilian universities. The results revealed that the internationalization of Univasf post-graduate courses is still incipient, since there is no formally institutionalized politics with the reasons, motivations and properly articulated strategies between Univasf and its corresponding courses. Finally, it was found that the cooperation international actions in this institution have been executed in isolation by the teaching staff in an individualized way, especially when these faocrtmiounlsa taioren aonf aaly zpeodl icbya sweidth o nth teh es uCpappoerst ianntedr niantvioonlvaelm ceritnetr ioaf.

Os acordos e fóruns internacionais exigiam, cada vez mais, uma demonstração do resultado da ajuda ao desenvolvimento nos chamados países do Sul. Somado a isso, a partir dos anos 2000, o Brasil destaca no cenário internacional como uma “nação de renda média”, por conta da melhoria dos seus indicadores sociais e econômicos, questionando a capacidade do país em financiar seu próprio desenvolvimento, e, portanto, a continuidade do apoio da cooperação internacional. Estes fatores refletiram diretamente no financiamento dos projetos de ONGs brasileiras, muitas delas criadas e apoiadas, exclusivamente, com recursos da cooperação internacional. Diante disso, o objetivo desta dissertação é analisar as mudanças na cooperação internacional para o desenvolvimento e seus efeitos na sustentabilidade de ONGs brasileiras. Para análise dos dados, foram definidas as noções de sustentabilidade e escolhida as variáveis de estudo assumidas neste trabalho. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, por meio da análise de documentos e entrevistas, com 4 organizações não governamentais. Os resultados apontaram que houve uma qualificação da equipe de trabalho destas ONGs para a captação de novas fontes de recursos e para adaptar-se às novas exigências de prestação de contas dos seus projetos. Por outro lado, houve uma redução da equipe de trabalho e certa precarização das relações trabalhistas. Novas estratégias de captação de recursos foram perseguidas, como a revisão da missão institucional, a busca de novas fontes de financiamento (empresas e governo) e ações de comunicação para aumentar a visibilidade da organização e atrair doadores. / International Cooperation for Development faced profound changes since the early 1990s. Agreements and international forums demanded evidence of effectiviness of development aid in recipients. In addition, over the 2000s, Brazil stood out in the international arena as an key player, due to the improvement of social and economic indicators, questioning the country's ability to finance its own development, and therefore the continuity of international cooperation in the country. These factors reflected directly in the financing of projects of Brazilian NGOs, many of them were created and supported exclusively with funds from international cooperation. This study aims to analyze the changes in international cooperation for development and its effects on the sustainability of Brazilian NGOs. This study was conducted by a qualitative research through the analysis of documents and interviews with four NGOs. The results showed na increase in qualification related to Fundraising and accountability. There was also a dicrease in number of team members and precarious labor relations. New fundraising strategies were pursued, such as the revision of the institutional mission, the search for other sources of finance (business and government) and communication activities to increase the organization's visibility and attract donors.

Para tanto, foi adotada uma perspectiva histórica para descrever e examinar o contexto da segurança regional nos Andes, a emergência intersticial das redes de traficantes, o processo de construção do tráfico de drogas como ameaça à segurança e a sua inserção na agenda política e de segurança da CAN. Este processo foi intenso no decorrer de toda década de 1990 e no início dos anos 2000, período que foi marcado pela elaboração e aprovação da Política Externa Comum da CAN, da agenda de segurança comunitária e do Plano Andino de Cooperação Para Luta Contra as Drogas e Delitos Conexos como formas de respostas antidrogas. Para compreender este processo, abordamos o alinhamento e o questionamento às diretrizes internacionais, o desenvolvimento e o exercício do controle coercitivo das drogas ilícitas em cada país que compõe o bloco andino no decorrer do recorte temporal delimitado e identificamos as convergências e divergências das agendas de segurança e das posturas adotadas pelos governos andinos perante a questão das drogas, assim como os diferentes agentes intervenientes, enfocando, a partir de uma perspectiva relacional, as dimensões doméstica e internacional (interméstica), bem como o processo de des-diferenciação que diluiu a fronteira entre a segurança interna e externa para combater o tráfico de drogas e suas redes transnacionais. Por fim, debatemos o combate ao tráfico de drogas como vetor de cooperação regional em segurança entre os países andinos e problematizamos o conceito de comunidade de segurança quanto à sua aplicabilidade para compreender a dinâmica da segurança na região andina. / Abstract: The purpose of this research is to investigate the cooperation on security to combat illicit drug trafficking between Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru within the Andean Community of Nations (CAN), in the course of 1999 and 2012. Thus, it was adopted one historical perspective and case studies to examine and describe the context of regional security in the Andes, the interstitial emergence of trafficking networks, the construction process of drug trafficking as a threat to security and their inclusion on the political agenda and Security CAN, this process was intense throughout the entire 1990s and early 2000s This period was marked by the preparation and approval of the Common Foreign CAN, community safety agenda and the Andean Cooperation Plan for Fighting Against Drugs and Related Crimes as forms of drug responses. To understand this process, we address alignment and questioning the government's requirements, the development and the exercise of coercive control of illicit drugs in each country that makes up the Andean bloc during the defined time frame and identified and analyzed the convergence and divergence of agendas security and postures adopted by Andean governments to the drug issue, as well as the different actors involved, focusing, from a relational perspective, the domestic and international dimensions (intermestic), and the process of de-differentiation diluted the boundary between internal and external security to combat drug trafficking and its transnational networks. Finally, we discussed the fight against drug trafficking as a vector of regional cooperation on security between the Andean countries and question the concept of security community and its applicability to understand the dynamics of security in the Andean region. / Mestre

The aim of this thesis is to assess the justifications for various extensions of the criminal law introduced to combat terrorism, in particular those extensions that go beyond the existing remit of inchoate offences and extend liability to earlier acts and intentions. Its method is to begin by exploring the principles of criminal law theory that ought to apply to such extensions; to interrogate the definition of terrorism; and then to examine four recent classes of offence in counter-terrorism legislation that extend the criminal law beyond its legitimate boundaries. These offences are collectively referred to in this thesis as 'preventive terrorism offences' to reflect the fact that the primary rationale for their enactment is to prevent terrorism. The thesis concludes by assessing the place of these offences within the government's overall counter-terrorism strategy, focusing in particular on the Prevent leg of the strategy, which aims to reduce extremism and tackle the root causes of terrorism. The preventive terrorism offences display several very troubling features, most notably that they have the potential to criminalise non-wrongful conduct. It is argued that by virtue of their ability to criminalise non-wrongful conduct the offences under examination diminish the legitimacy and moral force of the criminal law. Furthermore, by extending inchoate liability to very remote acts of preparation, possession, encouragement, and association, the criminal law occupies the same operational space as measures under the Prevent strategy that are intended to be reintegrative. This overlap has the potential to render the offences counterproductive to the larger counter-terrorism endeavour by creating the perception that the Prevent strategy is in fact a covert surveillance mechanism to gather intelligence for future prosecutions. This perception leads to further mistrust and alienation of individuals and communities who feel disproportionately targeted by these measures. Thus, the offences not only offend criminal law principles and values, but also have the potential to offend the very preventive justification that is given for their enactment.

More than a century has passed since Canada adopted the first antidumping law in 1904. Similar legislation in most of the major trading nations followed the Canadian legislation prior to and after the World War II. Antidumping provisions were later integrated into the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) after the said war. Today, nearly all developed and developing countries have this type of legislation in place within their municipal legal framework. The subject of antidumping has received growing attention in international trade policy and has become a source of tension between trading nations. This is evident in the substantial increase of antidumping actions since the establishment of the WTO. Antidumping policy has emerged as a significant trade barrier because of its misuse by both developed and developing countries. The primary instruments governing antidumping actions are GATT Article VI and the Antidumping Agreement (ADA). The ADA contains both the substantive and procedural rules governing the interpretation and application of the instrument. Its purpose is to ensure that the instrument is used only as a contingency measure judged upon merit and not as a disguised protectionist device. Given the growing number of countries participating more actively in the world trading system and the notorious misuse of antidumping provisions, there is a vital need to critically analyse the key provisions of the said instruments. This study is an attempt at that academic enterprise. It concludes by giving proposals for future reform of both real and potential future reform of the current WTO antidumping regime.
