From apartheid to advocacy: South Africa’s foreign policy journey over the last 30 years
A Review of South Africa’s Terms in the United Nations Security Council
South Africa has served as an elected African member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) three times: in 2007–2008; 2011–2012; and 2019–2020. This article grapples with South Africa’s role as an active, voting participant on the UNSC during its third term, with reference to its previous UNSC tenures. Using a three-step model of voting behaviour analysis, the article highlights aspects of South Africa’s international peacekeeping obligat…
The Benefits of Longitudinal Data and Multilevel Modeling to Measure Change in Adventure Education Research
Background: A common critique of adventure education research methodology is the overreliance on pre-/post-study designs to measure change. Purpose: This paper compares and contrasts two methods of data analysis on the same adventure education data set to show how these distinct approaches provide starkly different results and interpretation. Methodology/Approach: Using secondary data analysis, we employ a longitudinal data set of the social skil…

(Counter-) terrorism in Africa: Reflections for a new decade
As the new decade dawns, Africa remains a key frontier for terrorist activity with ongoing terrorist campaigns in Nigeria, Kenya and Somalia, among other places, while new insurgencies have emerged in the Central African Republic and Mozambique. This article provides an introduction to this special issue on terrorism and counter-terrorism in Africa, highlighting the need to review African response(s) to terrorism as the problem worsens. While Afr…
Hashtag Diplomacy and Its Use in Africa
Hashtag diplomacy or ‘Twitter’ diplomacy, sometimes referred to as twiplomacy, is an emerging tool used by international policy actors, such as heads of state and diplomats, to conduct public diplomacy and to reach out to worldwide audiences. In a 2018 study of government Twitter users around the world, 951 Twitter accounts were identified as belonging to state leaders and foreign ministries in 187 countries. Therefore, close to 100% of United Na…
Barriers and Borders: Human Mobility and Building Inclusive Societies
The Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak in late 2019 and early 2020 has resulted in individuals and families having to self-isolate, businesses have closed, international travel has slowed on a never b
Quality political participation and the SDGs in African small island developing states
English abstract: Apart from Mauritius, five of the six African small island developing States (ASIDS) are relativel y new to democracy with several only transitioning from one-party states to multiparty states in the early 1990s. Goals 13 and 14 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are priority goals for the ASIDS. Given that one of the key tests of a healthy democracy is the depth of civil society, this article seeks to examine the quali…
Drivers of the Foreign Policies of Southern African Small States
In international relations small states are either discarded as irrelevant, unimportant, or weak; held in high regard as potential movers and shakers in especially smart or niche diplomacy areas; powerful in blocs; or as a non-classification, that is undeserving of a unique type separate from the world body of states. Regardless of varying perceptions, small states exist and more so, they exist with foreign policies. This study examines what driv…

Longitudinal Outcomes for Youth Transported to Wilderness Therapy Programs
Purpose: Due to the ethical concern around involuntary treatment, this study sought to investigate if youth participants in wilderness therapy who were transported to the program experienced different rates of change than those not transported. Methods: Multilevel modeling techniques were used to investigate rates of change for youth between transported and nontransported youth over 5 points until 6 months postdischarge. In addition, repeated mea…
Survival Analysis: Whether, and If So, When?
Survival Analysis
Psychologists often ask whether-and, if so, when-critical events occur, over the life-course. Such questions about event occurrence present unique design and analytic difficulties. The core problem is that no matter when data collection begins and no matter its length of follow-up, some participants may not experience the target event while observed. The event-histories of such participants are said to be censored. Although the prospect of censor…
South Africa's UN General Assembly Voting Record from 2003 to 2008: Comparing India, Brazil and South Africa
This article examines South Africa's voting history at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) over a five-year period, beginning with the establishment of the India–Brazil–South Africa (IBSA) Dialogue Forum in 2003, up to and including 2008. Particular emphasis is placed on the state's block voting and possible foreign policy alignment with India and Brazil. Key issues also focused on include those areas of convergence deemed most important b…
Gold star or bottom of the class: Is South Africa a good international citizen
When, on 23 June 1994, Deputy President Thabo Mbeki announced South Africa's new foreign policy goal at the United Nations as its commitment to being a good citizen of the world, the concept of being a good international citizen (GIC) had been floating on the international seas since 1989. Over 13 years later, how has South Africa played its international role, especially since winning a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council i…
The Socialization of Achievement in Poor and Minority Students: A Comparative Study
Ethnic similarities and differences in children's perceptions of their parents' educational socialization practices and attributions for success and failure, and the impact of these variables on mathematics achievement, were examined in a sample of 591 poor African American, Latino, Indo-Chinese, and Caucasian fifth and sixth graders. Students completed the Educational Socialization Scale (ESS), the Sydney Attribution Scale (SAS), and the Wide Ra…
Physician Retention in Community and Migrant Health Centers: Who Stays and for How Long
OBJECTIVES: This study used discrete-time survival analysis to estimate the tenure of primary care physicians in Community Health Centers (CHCs), to identify the changing risk of leaving Community Health Center employment as time passes, and to identify factors associated with a physician's likelihood of remaining in a Community Health Center. Because of dramatic differences in physician career trajectories, much of the focus was on differences b…
