Magister Artium - MA / In this paper I attempt to look critically at the literary construction of one particular 'race', namely the 'Coloureds'. In Sarah Gertrude Millin's God's Stepchildren. To this end, the paper draws on the hlstorlcal background of Millin, and investigates the way in which Millin has consciously and strateglcally forrned, as it were, a 'unique' Coloured Identity. Furthermore, the paper explores the proximity or tension between author and narrator in the novel. This tension, i suggest, emerges In response to various pressures In the novel which in tum are based upon the author's social, . political and economic background. Evidence to this effect is derived from Millin's biography and other sources. What emerges from the paper Is that the concepts 'race' and 'Coloured', as they are employed In this novel, are equally elusive. In attempting to piece together a 'race', the novel communicates Millin's aversion to miscegenation, and discloses characteristics of her 'self. Ironically, I conclude, she falls prey to the same kinds of prejudices that she projects onto her literary subjects

Magister Educationis - MEd / Hierdie studie handeloor die aanwending van 'n trilogie van aksienavorsingsprojekte in 'n skool wat daartoe gelei het dat 'n outokratiese bestuurstyl in 'n koëperatiewe skoolbestuurstelsel verander is. Gegee die feit dat skoolbesluitneming grotendeels in die persoon van die skoolhoof gesentreer was, is daadwerklike pogings aangewend om alle betrokkenes in die besluitnemingsproses by Betel Skool vir Epileptici , Kuilsrivier, te betrek. Hierdie pogings het daartoe gelei dat die skoolhoof, personeellede, die Raad van Bestuur en die ouergemeenskap gesamentlike bestuurders van die skool geword het. Die gevolglike koëperatiewe skoolbestuur en gesamentlike verantwoordelikheid vir besluitneming het duidelik in veral die betrokkenheid van bestaande personeellede in die aanstelling van nuwe personeellede by die skool gemanifesteer. Waar hierdie verantwoordelikheid voorheen slegs op die skouers van die skoolhoof en die Raad van Bestuur gerus het, is personeellede met behulp van aksienavorsing in hierdie benoemingsproses betrek en vind geen aanstelling van personeellede tans plaas sonder die insette van die huidige personeel nie. Hierdie tesis beskryf voorts hoe die skool 'n eis van die Departement van Onderwys en Kultuur (Raad van Verteenwoordigers) gehanteer het dat dertien onderwysers geïdentifiseer moet word wat op 7 Augustus 1991 aan 'n protesoptog deelgeneem het. Dié opdrag is geïgnoreer en die Departement is met 'n georkestreerde teenreaksie van die skoolhoof, die personeel en die Raad van Bestuur gekonfronteer. Aksienavorsing is weer eens aangewend om hierdie intimiderende en hooghandige opdrag van die Onderwysdepartement wat die potensiaal gehad het om die dertien onderwysers te isoleer en aan die moontlikheid van ernstige dissiplinêre stappe bloot te stel, ter syde gestel te kry Hierdie werk toon dat dit moontlik is om met behulp van aksienavorsing, fundamentele veranderings in die bestuur van In skool aan te bring, te help met die demokratisering van besluitnemingsprosesse, die verskillende betrokkenes by die skool te bemagtig en nuwe betekenis te gee aan wat in die kantoor en klaskamers van die skool plaasvind.

This study examines the reintegration of South African political returnees into South African society from a sociological perspective after the unbanning of the African National Congress (ANC), South African Communist Party (SACP) and the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) in 1990. It specifically looks at the role of liberation movements, government, the International Organization For Migration (10M), the United Nations High Commissioner For Refugees (UNHCR) and the South African Council of Churches (SACC) in the pre- and post- 1994 period. This study contends that for refugee reintegration to succeed, primary prerequisites include a relatively good and sustainable economy and, most significantly, positive governmental intervention. A central argument of the study is that the ANC-Ied government has played a significant role in the repatriation and long-term reintegration of political returnees. Of significance is the economic dimension of this process since it facilitates reintegration at the social level. The assessment of the role of the ANC-Ied government in the political returnee reintegration process is undertaken primarily through the Special Pension and Demobilization Acts of 1996 which constitute the focal point of analysis of this study. The findings of this research are that the International Organization For Migration, the United Nations High Commissioner For Refugees, the African National Congress, the Pan Africanist Congress, the South African Communist Party and the South African Council of Churches played a significant role in the repatriation and early reintegration of political returnees in South Africa in the pre-independence phase. In the post-independence period, the ANC led government played an important role in long-term reintegration through legislative means, namely, the Special Pension and Demobilization Acts of 1996. The recommendations of the study are that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees should continue conducting large scale political refugee repatriations because of its expertise in international repatriation, programmes and processes of this magnitude. More research on the long-term socio-economic implications of the refugee reintegration process needs to be conducted in view of the fact that this area of study has not been sufficiently problematized. Finally, from a policy perspective, there is a need for governments with returning refugee populations to be more proactive in addressing this problem through legislative measures. / Sociology / D.

South African foreign policy is not made in a bubble; as a democracy since 1994, its outward orientation is theoretically subject to lobbying and pressure from outside groups as well as jockeying among bureaucratic entities. This study applies the principles of Foreign Policy Analysis, a theoretical framework that attempts to unpack the processes through which governments’ foreign policies are made, to South Africa to determine whether foreign policy making is in reality open to outside inputs, or whether the foreign policy arena—as in many countries globally—is an elite reserve. The thesis has a specific focus on the 1994-2008 period, during which time Deputy President (1994-99) and later President (1999-2008) Thabo Mbeki dominated government’s foreign policy formulation, to determine whether South Africa’s democratic transition was accompanied by “democratization” of the foreign policy making process compared to the apartheid government. In addition, the thesis sought to disaggregate the various actors involved in the process—both from the influencing and decision making sides of the coin—to analyze their individual roles in influencing foreign policy, both pre- and post-1994. The thesis found that the dominant actor in South African foreign policy, both before and after 1994, was the national leader (Prime Minister before 1984; President thereafter) or, on occasion, his chosen delegate if the leader was disinterested in the external realm. This is in part because South African Constitutions vest most decision-making power in the executive, in line with international norms, but also due to a lack of pressure by non-governmental actors. While South Africa’s post-apartheid dispensation allows for greater inputs by the public and other outside actors, the practice of influencing foreign policy—either through the ballot box or through concerted pressure between elections—changed very little. Public engagement on foreign policy, already weak, did not improve after 1994. Parliament, despite having a dedicated committee on the issue, showed itself largely disinterested, as did the broader ANC. The press, business, the ANC, and most civil society organizations similarly showed little desire to weigh in on foreign policy beyond isolated instances. Only academia consistently attempted to influence policy during the Mandela and Mbeki administrations, with mixed results. Ultimately, blame for this lack of change appears to lie mostly with outside actors themselves, who during the first 14 years of democracy failed to take advantage of political space opened to them. In examining Thabo Mbeki specifically, the thesis found that he took advantage of this leeway to dominate the foreign policy debate and rarely went out of his way to open the foreign policy debate any more than he had to. He gave short shrift to the inputs of pressure groups; had no time for the press or business; and dominated the ANC and its parliamentary caucus. Mbeki had a clear and well-defined worldview, and he had little time for people or organizations with decidedly different views. That said, those close to Mbeki, and even outsiders—notably from the academic community—paint a far more nuanced picture of the man, as someone who would listen and engage with others on foreign policy, at least if he believed they had done their homework on the issues in question. Hence, portrayals of Mbeki as a “dictator” in the foreign policy realm appear to be overstated. / Political Sciences / D. Litt. et Phil. (African Politics)

No. of bitstreams: 1 Miguel Angelo Marques.pdf: 24228955 bytes, checksum: 700c60165b618a4ec605b4936675d0e5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-08-29 / In Brazil, the Legislative branch has always been present in the process of establishment and conclusion of International Treaties. In the Imperial Period, even though the 1824 Charter Policy did not formally provide for the General Assembly participation, it could conceivably be said that the conduct of the foreign affairs was carried out in practice by four State agencies: the Emperor, the Cabinet of Ministers, the Council of State and the Parliament. From the Proclamation of the Republic, all the constitutional texts provided expressly for the participation of the National Congress in the process of production of Treaty Texts. However none of our Constitutions ‒ including the current one ‒ has handled the participation of the Legislative branch in cases of termination of treaty texts and thus the power to cease the treat has always been exclusively held by the Executive branch (even in those cases where the ratification of the international instrument depended on the National Congress approval). This much discussed issue in the doctrine field has been brought to the Supreme Federal Court on June 16th, 1997 by the means of the Direct Unconstitutionality Action (ADI) 1625 that pleaded the declaration of unconstitutionality of Decree 2,100 of December 20th, 1996 which made public the cease of the Convention 158 of the International Organization of Labor (OIT) for offence to the provisions of art. 49, I of the Constitution. Within the scope of the judgment of this process filed by the National Confederation of the Workers in Agriculture (CONTAG) and the Central Workers Union Confederation (CUT), three out the four Ministers who have already voted have acknowledged the need of prior consent from the National Congress to the Executive branch to proceed to the termination of Treaty Texts. If this understanding persists in the C. Supreme Federal Court there will be an important change of model in the field of the Law of Treaties, which is a basic issue under the international law. This Master s dissertation aims to foster discussions within the academic community concerning the need (or not) for the Brazilian Parliament participation in Treaties, Conventions and International Acts termination process / No Brasil, o Poder Legislativo sempre se fez presente no processo de celebração e conclusão de Tratados Internacionais. No Período Imperial, embora a Carta Política de 1824 não contemplasse, formalmente, a participação da Assembleia Geral, pode-se dizer que, na prática, a condução das relações exteriores era realizada por um conjunto de quatro órgãos do Estado: o Imperador, o Gabinete de Ministros, o Conselho de Estado e o Parlamento. Com a Proclamação da República, todos os textos constitucionais subsequentes passaram a assegurar, de forma expressa, a participação do Congresso Nacional no processo de produção de Textos Convencionais. Contudo, nenhuma de nossas Constituições, inclusive a atual, regulou a participação do Poder Legislativo nos casos de extinção de textos convencionais, razão por que o poder de denunciar tratados sempre foi exercido, de forma exclusiva, pelo Poder Executivo (mesmo nos casos em que a ratificação do instrumento internacional tenha dependido de aprovação do Congresso Nacional). Essa questão, muito debatida no campo doutrinário, chegou ao Supremo Tribunal Federal em 16 de junho de 1997, através da Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade (ADI) 1625, por meio da qual se pleiteava a declaração de inconstitucionalidade do Decreto nº 2.100 de 20 de dezembro de 1996, que tornou pública a denúncia da Convenção n° 158 da Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT), por ofensa ao disposto no art. 49, I da Constituição Federal. No bojo do julgamento dessa demanda, ajuizada pela Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores na Agricultura (CONTAG) e pela Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT), três dos quatro ministros, que já proferiram seus votos, reconheceram a necessidade de prévia autorização do Congresso Nacional para o Poder Executivo efetivar a denúncia de Textos Convencionais. Persistindo esse entendimento no C. Supremo Tribunal Federal, haverá uma mudança de paradigma importante no campo do Direito dos Tratados, tema fundamental na área do direito internacional. A presente dissertação de mestrado tem por escopo fomentar, no meio acadêmico, discussões acerca da necessidade (ou não) da participação do Parlamento brasileiro nos casos de denúncia de Tratados, Convenções e Atos Internacionais

Nos anos 90 era comum que a distinção entre o traficante e o usuário estivesse baseada nos artigos da antiga lei de drogas, ou seja, em criminalizar alguém por drogas por meio dos artigos 16 ou 12. Eram os próprios números dos artigos das leis que representavam socialmente e distinguiam um usuário (16) de um traficante de drogas (12) e, claro, o modo como à polícia poderia ou não incriminar alguém dentro do sistema de justiça criminal no Brasil. Após o ano de 2006, o Estado Brasileiro promulga a chamada Nova Lei de Drogas com o objetivo de deslocar o usuário de drogas para o sistema de saúde ao mesmo tempo em que aumenta a punição para os traficantes. Assim, este trabalho analisa as principais implicações da chamada nova lei de drogas lei 11.343 de 2006 desde a sua formulação no sistema político até a sua aplicação no sistema de justiça criminal tendo como problemática empírica geral o fenômeno da intensificação do encarceramento por tráfico de drogas no Brasil, sobretudo, após o advento da nova lei. Para tanto, a análise parte da formulação que o novo dispositivo de drogas no Congresso Nacional teve, dentre os seus principais objetivos, dispor: i) o fim da pena de prisão para o usuário de drogas; ii) o advento de um tratamento médico para o usuário; iii) o aumento da punição para o traficante mediante a expansão de grupos criminosos no início dos anos 2000, sobretudo, em São Paulo. Ou seja, está em jogo à modificação da representação social do traficante e do usuário que bifurca entre uma nova representação médico-social do usuário agora visto como um doente e objeto das instituições de saúde e assistência social e uma velha representação criminal do traficante como inimigo agora visto como um indivíduo perigoso e organizado. São estas duas figuras que engendram a formulação de um novo dispositivo de drogas com diferentes tipos de punições para a venda e o uso de drogas no Brasil nos anos 2000. Argumento que a introdução desse novo dispositivo chamado aqui de dispositivo médico-criminal de drogas produziu uma nova maneira de governar os usuários e traficantes de drogas e que trouxe, como uma das principais consequências, a intensificação da criminalização por tráfico de drogas e a rejeição do deslocamento do usuário para outro sistema que não o sistema de justiça criminal. Assim, demonstro que há uma nova maneira de administração estatal da droga no Brasil, qual é a sua história e como ela desenvolveu práticas no sistema de justiça criminal: como um copo meio vazio de médico e cheio de prisão. / In the 90s it was common that the distinction between the drug dealer and the user was based on the articles from the old drug law, in other words, criminalize someone for drugs through the articles \"16\" or \"12\". Were the very numbers of these articles that used to represent socially and distinguish a user (16) from a drug dealer (12) and, of course, the way the police could incriminate someone or not within the criminal justice system in Brazil. After 2006, the Brazilian State passed the so called New Drug Law in order to move the drug user to the health system while increasing the punishment for traffickers. Thus, this study analyzes the main implications of the new so called drug law - Law 11.343 of 2006 - since its formulation in the political system to its application in the criminal justice system, assuming as a general empirical problem the phenomenon of imprisonment and its increase for trafficking drugs in Brazil, especially after the advent of the new law. Therefore, the analysis assumes that the new drug device in National Congress had, among its main goals, to dispose: i) the end of a prison sentence for drug users; ii) the advent of a medical treatment for the user; iii) an increasing of the punishment for the trafficker due to the expansion of criminal groups in the early 2000s, especially in São Paulo. Ie, what is at stake is the changing in the social representation of drug dealers and users which leads to a bifurcation between a new medical and social representation of the user - now seen as \"sick\" and subject for health and social care institutions - and an old criminal representation of the dealer as an enemy - now seen as an individual \"dangerous and organized.\" These are the two figures that engender the development of a new drug device with different types of punishments for the sale and use of drugs in Brazil in the 2000s. I argue that the introduction of this new device called here as medical- criminal drug device - has produced a new way to govern users and drug dealers and it brought, as one of the main consequences, the increased criminalization of drug trafficking and the rejection of the user displacement to another system other than the criminal justice system. The research, therefore, seeks to first show how new ideas were developed in the formulation of a new drug device, secondly, what were the main implications of this device within the criminal justice system. Thus, I demonstrate that there is a new way of state administration of drugs in Brazil, what is your story and how it developed new practices in the criminal justice system: as a half empty glass of medicine and full of imprisonment.

Embora existam estudos relevantes no Brasil a respeito do controle de constitucionalidade exercido pelo STF, o assunto ainda demanda pesquisa. Uma das áreas de pesquisa que precisa ser aprofundada é a dinâmica da interação ao longo do tempo entre o órgão judicial que exerce o controle de constitucionalidade e os órgãos que editam atos normativos sujeitos ao controle de constitucionalidade. Diante disso, o objeto desta tese é o exame da interação entre o STF e o Congresso Nacional nos anos de 1988 a 2013 decorrente da declaração judicial de inconstitucionalidade de atos normativos do Congresso Nacional. A tese baseia-se em uma pesquisa de jurisprudência e de legislação, e adota perspectiva teórica que reconhece haver um contínuo diálogo institucional entre os Poderes. Um dos objetivos da tese é descrever os padrões das decisões judiciais que declararam a inconstitucionalidade de atos normativos, e as possíveis relações entre a deliberação judicial e a legislação subsequente. Outro objetivo do estudo é proporcionar parâmetros para avaliação da contínua interação entre o controle de constitucionalidade exercido pelo STF e a atividade do Congresso Nacional. Terceiro objetivo é identificar desafios que devem ser enfrentados caso se pretenda fortalecer a legitimidade do diálogo entre os Poderes. / There are relevant studies made in Brazil about Federal Supreme Court judicial review, but the subject still demands research. One of the research areas that needs to be deepened is the dynamic of the interaction over time between the judicial branch that controls the constitutionality of legislation and the legislative branch that make the norms subject to judicial review. In the face of this, the object of this thesis is to exam the interaction between the Federal Supreme Court and the National Congress in the period of 1988 to 2013 derived from judicial decisions that declared norms unconstitutional. The thesis is based on a research of judicial decisions and legislation, and it adopts a theoretical perspective that recognizes a continuous institutional dialogue between the Powers. One of the objectives of the thesis is to describe the patterns of the judicial decisions that declared norms unconstitutional, and the feasible connections between the judicial deliberation and subsequent legislation. Another objective of the study is to provide standards to assess the continuous interaction between the Federal Supreme Court judicial review and the activity of the National Congress. The third objective is to identify challenges that must be faced if one pretend to strengthen the legitimacy of the dialogue between the Powers.

Dans ce travail, on utilise la question raciale comme un prisme pour étudier le parti politique African National Congress (ANC), en se focalisant sur trois problèmes de recherche : la production de discours, la régulation et le changement partisan. Notre postulat de départ est que le positionnement idéologique nationaliste de l'ANC est un positionnement ambigu et pluriel, entre non-racialisme et nationalisme africain, entre caractère multi-classes et biais en faveur des pauvres et des travailleurs. C'est un consensus hétérogène sur ce positionnement multiple qui « tient » le parti ensemble. On entend tout d'abord démontrer que dans le contexte de la nouvelle Afrique du Sud démocratique et non-raciale, ce positionnement pluriel amène le parti à développer des discours alternatifs et à construire des identités collectives emboîtées, notamment dans son offre électorale. On étudie ensuite comment le nouvel environnement post-apartheid, celui d'une société normalisée où les clivages raciaux et socio-économiques évoluent, met en péril le consensus sur lequel repose l'ANC et émet des pressions sur le parti pour qu'il change et se repositionne. Enfin, on démontre qu'idéologie et organisation sont liées : du positionnement pluriel de l'ANC sur la question raciale découlent des règles formelles et informelles d'organisation et de fonctionnement.

Ce mémoire porte sur la reconnaissance par le droit, et particulièrement par le droit des peuples à disposer d'eux-mêmes, des faits tels que construits par deux mouvements de libération nationale (MLN), l'African National Congress (ANC) et l'Organisation de Libération de la Palestine (OLP). Ainsi, en suivant la dynamique imposée par l'action des MLN eux-mêmes qui proposent une lecture de situations politiques qui ultimement vient rencontrer le droit, nous avons choisi de construire notre sujet en partant des faits pour aller vers le droit. Il s'agit donc dans un premier temps de présenter les deux situations formant la base de notre étude, soit celle de l'Afrique du Sud et celle de la Palestine (partie 1), en décrivant les violations y perpétrées, les lois mises en place pour faire perdurer de telles situations, les pratiques ainsi que les réactions internationales qui y ont fait suite. Nous décrirons ensuite dans un second temps le concept de peuple et celui d'autodétermination tels que conçus et mis en oeuvre par les Sud-Africains et par les Palestiniens (partie II). Enfin, nous en viendrons au concept de la reconnaissance (partie Ill), d'abord tel qu'abordé et construit par les deux peuples étudiés, puis cheminant à travers les théories de la reconnaissance et les obstacles à celles-ci, nous terminerons en élaborant finalement une liste de critères auxquels nos mouvements ont choisi de se conformer et qui les ont mené à exercer le droit de leurs peuples de choisir leur propre régime politique en tant que dignes représentants de leurs aspirations. Cette étude nous amènera donc au constat suivant: les faits présentés démontrent que lorsqu'un MLN représente son peuple, il accède à la reconnaissance qui lui permet d'exercer le droit à l'autodétermination de ce dernier. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Peuple, Mouvements de libération nationale, Autodétermination, Droit des peuples, Régime politique, Reconnaissance, African National Congress – ANC, Organisation de Libération de la Palestine – OLP, Terrorisme.
