Mish, Bogs, and Berries
Heathlands are a significant land cover type across the circumpolar boreal biome. A growing body of knowledge has developed around the ecology of heathland ecosystems, but little work has been done to document their cultural significance to Indigenous Peoples. In this study, we integrate plot-based vegetation surveys, a desktop review of Indigenous Mi’kmaq ethnobotany, and interviews with Miawpukek First Nation community members to understand Ind…
In the Shadow of Mandela
"This outstanding and original work goes to the heart of South Africa's political problems - doubts as to the sustainability of the post-apartheid settlement, beset with divisions in the ruling ANC, factionalism, corruption and the widening of fault-lines in state and society. The 'leadership issue' has become key and this will be the first specific examination of leadership in the light of Mandela's legacy and its effect on his successor as pote…
The Electoral Effects of General Strikes in Western Europe
General strikes against unpopular policy reforms have occurred with increasing frequency across Western Europe since 1980. These strikes, in conjunction with governments’ willingness to offer concessions in their wake, raise the question as to whether they have electoral consequences. We analyze how the interaction between general strikes and social spending retrenchment, as well as the interaction between social pacts and social spending retrenc…
The African National Congress, the print media and the development of mediated politics in South Africa
Modern politics are largely mediated politics, experienced by the great majority of citizens at one remove, through their print and broadcast media of choice. Any study of democracy in contemporary conditions is therefore also a study of how the media report and interpret political events and issues McNair Journalism and Democracy This article shares in broad terms the global assumptions summarised by Brian McNair in this epigraph. However, it is…

The Local Elections in Kwazulu-Natal
The transformation of local government is an essential part of democratization in South Africa. The difficulties of restructuring against a background of exclusion, inequality and conflict are sharpened and complicated in KwaZulu-Natal by the conflict between the ANC and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP). The thrice-postponed local elections, which finally took place in June 1996 (seven months later than most of the rest of the country) represented…
Politics, violence and reconciliation in Northern Ireland and South Africa
Northern Ireland and South Africa have both suffered from prolonged, endemic, violent political conflict, but the respective patterns and dynamics of violence have been rather different. Violence in Northern Ireland has been much more articulate in its political logic; agency and victimhood have been much more openly acknowledged and widely diffused; community‐based paramilitaries have played a much more prominent role in killings than counterpar…
Politics and violence in KwaZulu-Natal
Political violence in KwaZulu‐Natal has been the most serious threat to the integrity and stability of the post‐apartheid settlement in South Africa. Although political violence declined to negligible levels in the rest of the country after the April 1994 elections, violent demonstrations and political killings have remained a feature of political conflict in KwaZulu‐Natal. Rivalry between the ANC and the IFP has three main dimensions: a struggle…

(1994). South Africa: The election and the transition process—five contradictions in search of a resolution. Third World Quarterly: Vol. 15, No. 2, pp. 187-204
South Africa
Before South Africa's first non-racial election took place in April 1994, the African National Congress and the National Party had to agree on the nature and functions of the institutions for which votes would he cast. The two major parties then had to ensure that the electoral process was as inclusive of disaffected minorities as possible. This all-important condition was achieved only at the eleventh hour. The distribution of support for the pa…
Weak states and national security
Introduction The Idea of national security is pervasive because it lies at the heart of the condition of statehood and the nature of the international system. But although the idea of national security is universally on the political agenda, it is difficult to find an unambiguous or uncontested usage of the concept. Working definitions exist, of course: a nation is secure to the extent which it is not in danger of having to sacrifice core values,…
South Africa in Comparative Context
Self‐determination in comparative perspective
Afrikaner nationalism and Ulster unionism are examples of all‐class coalitions which have sought political self‐expression in contexts of settler history, native majorities, and a metropolitan factor. The idea of self‐determination has been a central theme in articulating the claims and identities of each. In neither case is the claim to self‐determination unambiguous; emphasis is placed on either "territorial" or "ethno‐cultural" concepts of sel…
Britain, Ireland and Ulster
Over twelve years have passed since the Autumn of 1968, when the gathering momentum of the campaign for civil rights in Northern Ireland forced the re-opening of the unanswered questions and unfinished business of Anglo-Irish relations, on reluctant governments in Dublin, London, and Belfast. The activities of the Civil Rights Movements – especially the march in Derry on October 5, 1968 – and the reactions to them of the Stormont Government, the …
