The wide readership of the CSSR Bulletin positioned the publication as an excellent place to address pressing matters in the field. In a 1988 issue, Claude Welch sounded the alarm about the depreciating shelf life of library resources upon which scholars depend. In addition to a call to action, Welch shared about a collaboration between scholars and member group, the American Theological Library Association, to capture these works to fiche—a proc…
Protecting human rights in the era of uncertainty
As the brutal and violent attacks on civilian populations multiply throughout the world perpetrated by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS or ISIL, or the Islamic State, also known as Daesh), the need for an effective response to terrorism has grown in intensity. The ISIS attacks in Paris have in particular introduced a wave of nationalist, securitized alarm, reinforcing a general concern about the influx of immigrants and asylum seekers wh…
Death and the erotic woman
This paper explores the use of European erotic death imagery produced in the Death and the Maiden (D&M) genre in two time periods. It compares and contrasts D&M imagery produced by the Germanic-speaking proto/early-Reformation artists, Hans Baldung (alias Grien) (c1484–1545), Niklaus Manuel (known as Deutsch) (c1484–1530) and Sebald Beham (known as Hans Sebald Beham) (1500–1550) which highlighted the folly, futility and transience of earthly vani…

China's Rising Power
Our analysis sets out to explain the relationship between economic growth and political freedoms within the context of Chinese domestic politics and foreign policy. The images of China as a rising military power with a growing economy have drawn attention away from the degree to which democratic values and norms have been marginalized in China. The existing literature has typically focused on an increasingly competitive economic globalization tha…

Human rights NGOs and the rule of law in Africa
African NGOs have created an awareness of the rule of law. These NGOs follow the Wiseberg-Scoble typology of documenting violent violations. There is a long relationship with European NGOs, as European NGOs opposed slavery. Yet, suspicion of foreign NGOs in Africa is based partIy on the history of colonialism and slavery, whose legacy continues. This was dramatized initially with the documentation of the Menguistu regime in Ethiopia's mass murder…

Protecting Human Rights in Africa
Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Book for 1996 Since the 1950s, sub-Saharan Africa has been the site of profound political changes initiated by ascendant nationalism and rapid decolonization. With this new beginning came fresh challenges involving many crucial aspects of human rights: self-determination; civil and political rights, including government legitimacy; military involvement in African politics; and unfulfilled bas…

Theexecution of Ken Saro-Wiwa, noted advocate of rights for the Ogoni people of the Niger delta, who was hanged with eight of his colleagues in Port Harcourt on 10 November 1995, drew universal condemnation from governments, human rights organisations, and literary figures. Following the trial of these Ogoni activists, the Nigerian régime headed by General Sani Abacha decided that the verdict of the appointed tribunal should be endorsed and imple…
Civil-Military Agonies in Nigeria
The armed forces of Nigeria, in power for nearly three-quarters of the country'sindependent history, show little willingness to return to the barracks. Even if civilian rulewere restored, deep-rooted beliefs and practices will ensure that officers continue to playmajor political roles. The aborted 1993 presidential elections(generally regarded as fair anddecisive, but won by a candidate disliked by senior army leaders) manifested seriouslingering…

The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights
The Organization of African States (OAU) was conceived and born in 1963 in a context of nearly untrammeled state sovereignty, in which heads of states sought sedulously to safeguard the independence so recently won. Only passing mention was made in the OAU Charter of human rights. Eighteen years later, however, following a period of widely decried abuses of basic liberties in several member states, the OAU's policy-making body adopted the African…
Military Disengagement from Politics
Although no paradigm for the study of military disengagement from politics and subsequent liberalization and democratization has emerged and been widely embraced by scholars, patterns have been discerned in regionally based analyses. The article examines common themes (abrupt versus phased withdrawal, impact of professionalism, attitudes of senior officers, levels of national unity, and the effect of rapid delegitimation on military governments),…

Soldier and State in Africa
Direct military intervention, aimed at unseating civilian governments and replacing them with ruling councils drawn largely from the army, is a relatively recent phenomenon in Africa. With the exception of the Sudan, where officers led by General Ibrahim Abboud seized control in November 1958, no supplanting of civilian authority by a military junta occurred until 19 June 1965 (Algeria). Then, in rapid succession, the Governments of Congo-Kinshas…

Continuity and Discontinuity in African Military Organisation
The contemporary involvement of the armed forces in African politics seems to prove Mosca's maxim: 'the class that bears the lance or holds the musket regularly forces its rule upon the class that handles the spade or pushes the shuttle'.1 Explanations for coups d'etat are myriad. The eruption of social conflicts into the armed services; personal and corporate greed; abridgement of military institutional prerogatives; weaknesses of the political …

The Dilemmas of Military Withdrawal from Politics
Few people consider the armed forces hesitant in their actions. Speed, decisiveness, efficiency, directness—such are characteristics often attributed to the military. Especially in areas where protection of military autonomy is concerned, quick action may be taken. Recent African history suggests that members of the armed forces exhibit willingness to leap into active political involvement when challenges arise to their corporate interest. Since …

Despite the warning, 'Politics are not for soldiers', the armed forces in Ghana - as in 14 other African states - assumed full political control.

The Kwilu rebellion of 1964 belongs within a little studied species of political violence: the aborted rural revolution.

Obstacles to "Peasant War" in Africa

Some evidence is clear, to be certain. The PAIGC liberation of mainland Guinea-Bissau, coupled with extensive FRELIMO pressures in Mozambique and increasing challenges i…

Reduction of Postoperative Pain by Encouragement and Instruction of Patients
MANY reports have discussed the treatment of patients suffering after operation. Narcotics are not without danger; they also vary considerably in effectiveness. Hypnosis will reduce pain but is difficult to achieve and requires special training for the operator. Despite considerable effort the problems of treating postoperative pain remain.Janis1 has shown that patients who were told about their operations before the procedure remembered the oper…
On Theological Typology
“... I am not attempting to say that the schematism of ‘right’ and ‘left’ is meaningless, either in relation to the issue of demythologizing or to the theological scene in general—only that it is disastrous. Everyone knows what it means, and that is just the trouble. It is another way of saying ‘conservative’ versus ‘liberal,’ or minimum versus maximum accommodation to the world. Now we all know more or less what those vague contrasts are suppose…
God, Faith and the Theological Object — An Historical Dialectic
What is the proper “object” for theological attention? It was the overwhelming judgment of Protestant thinkers in the 19th century that for theology God and faith belong inseparably together. Theology deals with God, but in so far as God is the object for theology, man as believer is also always given in his concrete choosing and affirming and apprehending that is faith. God is available as an “object” only from and with the point of view of a su…
