The government has betrayed asian women (uk, comment) — by Marius Hardut — last modified 2006-06-30 06:28

There are so many more reasons to consider this a badly executed consultation and decision. Many of the respondents felt naming and shaming of coercive parents would lead to communities being "unfairly labelled" and creating a negative stereotype. Such daft responses are not surprising once you consider that most of those opposed were middle-aged men considered to be our "community representatives". How can this negative stereotyping get any worse when honour killings litter the media? Should the kidnapped and run-away victims be gagged if they want to speak out? Perhaps most significantly this lost opportunity has turned a blind eye towards parent-sanctioned forced rape.

Some argue the collapse of the Soviet Union brought long-latent racism to the surface, by opening the door to uncontrolled migration, economic collapse, and the entrenched conflict in Chechnya.

The Politics of Human Trafficking — by Marius Hardut — last modified 2007-07-20 05:22

Agency and "Victimhood": The popular portrayal of human trafficking often resembles a Dickensian landscape of suffering and pain, with voiceless children and powerless women caught in a trap of violence and exploitation. Whilst this may be true of a number of cases, it is now frequently asserted that such depictions unfairly obscure the complex web of coercion and consent that underpins and characterises the diverse processes of contemporary human trafficking.

I think not.

Population and Its Effects — by Marius Hardut — last modified 2007-07-23 09:56

The world population has reached an unprecedented 6.7 billion people, and it is continuing to grow by 80 million people every year. 99% of that growth is in the world's poorest countries where people are commonly afflicted by poverty, civil unrest, and scarce resources. These countries are struggling to provide for their existing populations, and even when making strides to improve their infrastructure, they can not keep up with the dramatic population growth. Developing nations now require about $1 trillion per year in new infrastructure development just to accommodate their population growth – a figure that is very far from being met and is effectively impossible for these countries to generate.

Core Principles for Engaging Young People in Community Change — by Marius Hardut — last modified 2007-07-24 06:39

Engaging young people as partners in community change is a compelling idea, but translating that idea into effective practice requires focused attention to a range of issues. The principles described in this paper emerged from the commingling of research and practice that occurred when the Forum merged with Community IMPACT! USA. They are important but simple principles for putting the idea of youth engagement into practice. They can be implemented in a wide range of organizations, including schools, youth organizations or community centers that want to strengthen their commitment to youth leadership, or community-change focused organizations or coalitions that want to strengthen their commitment to youth involvement.

The Subject of Coexistence: Otherness in International Relations — by Marius Hardut — last modified 2007-07-24 06:39

Louiza Odysseos argues that debates about ethnic conflict, human rights, and the viability of multicultural communities all revolve around the question of coexistence. She traces the institutional neglect of coexistence to the ontological commitments of international relations as predicated on conceptions of modern subjectivity. Here, Odysseos opens up the possibility of a coexistential ontology in which selfhood can be rethought beyond subjectivism.

Ireland - Make no mistake, there will still be deportations — by Marius Hardut — last modified 2007-07-24 06:39

In a major interview with the Irish Independent, the newly-appointed Minister for Integration said he wanted to give immigrants a clear pathway to citizenship and to cut down the racism they experienced. But he said people should not be naive about what the creation of his new ministry would mean for immigration policy. "There will be no integration without deportation. I don't want people to think just because a new Minister for Integration has been appointed that somehow the doors are going to be flung open and Ireland is going to have open, unrestricted migration."

Outside view: muslims need outreach — by Marius Hardut — last modified 2007-07-24 06:38

The recent bomb plots to wreak devastation on the cities of London and Glasgow are an urgent reminder not only of the need to sustain collective efforts in the fight against terrorism, but that perhaps it is high time Muslims critically rethink their methods in dealing with this challenge. Centering on what must be done domestically, it is important to realize that Muslim communities have denounced, in force, all forms of terrorism and view this violence as an attack as much on themselves as upon broader society.

How racism affects the mind and body — by Marius Hardut — last modified 2007-07-24 06:38

Research into the physical effects of racism on its victims could help explain a disparity in health across races and reframe racism as a health issue. Health experts have long blamed racial disparities on social forces, linking higher rates of disease and death among African-Americans to joblessness, unsafe housing, and other inequities. This round of research, which scientists stress is preliminary, seeks to establish if racism itself plays a role. In more than 100 studies on the subject, most of them published since 2000, some patterns have been established, reports Madeline Drexler.

Three, there was a belief that deficient conflict analysis and the lack of mediation could be covered up by NATO’s “peacemaking” bombings in 1999.

The Right to Education in the Context of Migration and Integration, 15/16.11.2007 in Bonn — by Marius Hardut — last modified 2007-10-01 06:34

The structures of the education systems, formal and non-formal, carry the weight of inventing concepts of integration and find themselves in a difficult situation of needing to find the right balance. This is especially the case in countries where migrants are objects of a nationalistically oriented policy of interior affairs, which splits them into different categories of benefit receivers. Depending on their civic status migrants have different chances of access to programmes and benefits or even of political participation. Some of them, if they are ‘illegal’, do not have any access neither to formal structures nor to political participation.
