Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, School of Law, 2017 / This thesis attempts to identify the rationale for migration rights within the EAC (East African Community) in relation to the Community's political objectives.The main argument propounded is that migration rights, though they have developed from a purely economic rationale and perspective, have since morphed into an entorely novel regime which emphases the human or fundamental rights of citizens of the Community.

This thesis undertakes a critical analysis of the history management of the East-Elbian nobility. Its central hypothesis is that noble families throughout the second half of the twentieth century deliberately sought to steer and control the public commemoration of their caste. These efforts were a concerted assault on widely held views about the place of the nobility in recent history, and specifically, about their culpability in the disasters that brought about war, defeat and moral shame to Germany. The first phase of noble history management concerned an expressed ‘resistance against Hitler’ alignment and self-distancing from the regime. The second phase of history management strategically employed autobiographical and family chronicles to construct an image of a modest and industrious elite, deeply rooted in the ancient traditions and virtues of an apolitical East-Elbian estate society. This dissertation argues that the process of history management continued after German reunification in 1989-1990, when many former refugee families returned to their old estates in East Elbia.

Using rotated principal component analysis, 200mb wind data from the First GARP Global Experiment are analyzed in the East Asia winter monsoon region. It is found that there exist slowly eastward-moving disturbances with a wind-speed maximum embedded in the jet stream (jet streak). The implied vertical circulation that is transverse to the jet streak is thermally direct in the entrance region of jet streak and thermally indirect in the exit region. The Lagrangian momentum equation for transient part of the flow indicates that the magnitude of westerly acceleration of an air parcel moving through the jet streak is related to the Coriolis acceleration of the transient ageostrophic flow, the advection of mean momentum by transient flow and momentum conversion between mean and transient flow due to transient eddies. Estimates of terms in this equation in the entrance region of jet streak suggest that the increase of westerly momentum due to the Coriolis acceleration of the ageostrophic flow is mostly balanced by the decrease due to the mean easterly momentum advection by the transient jet-streak flow. Thus, the confluence theory of Namias and Clapp (1949) appears to be valid for the slowly moving jet streaks in the East Asia jet stream. / Graduation date: 1989
