Extractions: The Department is committed to the pursuit of excellence in research and teaching in all aspects of Social Anthropology. It continues to base its strength upon the diversity of specific interests of individual members of staff, while maintaining the intellectual integrity of Social Anthropology as a comparative inquiry into the conditions of human culture and social life. The Department was founded in 1949 by Max Gluckman , under whom it gained a world-wide reputation. From the beginning, the scope of research was broad. The Department became best known, under the guise of the 'Manchester School', for its influential series of studies of Central and Southern Africa; however there was also a strong interest in India and later in East Africa. A focus on Middle Eastern societies was introduced with the work of Emrys Peters, who succeeded Gluckman to the Chair, holding it until his retirement in 1984. From 1985 until 1993, the Chair was held by Marilyn Strathern, under whose leadership the Department gained particular research strengths in the fields of gender and kinship studies, especially in Melanesia and Britain. The Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology was established in 1987 and in 1990 the Department gained a second Chair with the appointment of Tim Ingold as Professor of Anthropology. Today there are 12 permanent staff, with five full professors and six senior lecturers. We also have three university-funded Simon Research Fellows, three ESRC-funded research fellows and two EU-funded Research Fellows.

Extractions: About the EAC NewsCentre The Treaty Agreements and MOU's ... Home Introduction The East African Community (EAC) is the regional intergovernmental organisation of the Republics of Kenya, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania, with its Headquarters located in Arusha, Tanzania. The East African Heads of State signed the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community in Arusha on 30th November 1999. The three East African countries cover an area of 1.8 million square kilometres and have a population of 82 million who share a common history, language, culture and infrastructure. These advantages provide the Partner States with a unique framework for regional co-operation and integration. A History of Integration in East Africa In the past, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have enjoyed a long history of co-operation under successive regional integration arrangements. These have included the Customs Union between Kenya and Uganda in 1917, which the then Tanganyika later joined in 1927; the East African High Commission (1948-1961); the East African Common Services Organisation (1961-1967); the East African Community (1967-1977) and the East African Co-operation (1993-2000). Following the dissolution of the erstwhile East African Community in 1977, the Member States negotiated a Mediation Agreement for the Division of Assets and Liabilities, which they signed in 1984. However, as one of the provisions of the Mediation Agreement, the three States agreed to explore areas of future co-operation and to make concrete arrangements for such co-operation.

Extractions: The Committee for International Cooperation in Rural Sociology wasted no time in planning an international congress, and it was decided to hold a congress in 1964. An invitation from M. Cepede to meet in Dijon, France was accepted and he was put in charge of making the arrangements for the congress. At the time of the Dijon congress plans were made for a second congress. E. W. Hofstee's invitation to hold the congress in Enschede, The Netherlands in 1968 was accepted and he was given the responsibility for planning and making the arrangements. The Committee for International Cooperation in Rural Sociology provided the leadership for program planning. The RSS representation on the Committee was changed in 1964, when President Lee Coleman appointed Al Bertrand, Paul Jehlik, and Harry Schwarzweller to replace the original RSS appointees. During the time of the second world congress tentative plans were made for a third world congress. An invitation to host the congress was extended by the U. S. delegation. Members of the committee voted to accept the invitation and to elect Al Bertrand chair of the committee. Subsequently, the RSS voted to hold the third congress in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with Al Bertrand in charge of local arrangements. Following the 1972 third world congress, the Committee for Cooperation ceased to exist, and planning responsibility for the fourth world congress was assumed by the Preparatory Committee, plus Al Bertrand, who served as a liaison from the previous Committee for Cooperation. The fourth congress was held in Torun, Poland, in August 1976.

Griggs, Independent Projects Trust, Durban (Dr. Griggs is Research Director for Independent Projects Trusta non-governmental organization in Durban, South Africa. Griggs is also coordinator for the Center for World Indigenous Studies Fourth World Atlas Project.) 1. The Structural Conditions of Conflict Structure refers to relatively immobile social, physical, or economic factors that either constrain or facilitate conflict and help shape the geostrategic responses and discursive practices of key actors. Three such factors in the present situation are: (1) irrational political boundaries; (2) land shortages and environmental stress; and (3) ethnically differentiated access to power and wealth. 1.1 Political Boundaries 1.2 Land Shortages Burundi and Rwanda could easily have the highest percentage of disturbed, overpopulated land in Africa. Discounting uninhabitable areas [e.g., 10% of Rwanda's 26,340 square kilometers is National Park], the population density within Rwanda and Burundi exceeds 400 persons per square kilometer. Land scarcity, soil exhaustion, and a limited food supply were problems already noted in pre-colonial times. Colonial policy then intensified this environmental and demographic stress by encouraging large scale coffee and tea plantations. Through various policies of taxation, the German and Belgian administrators destroyed subsistence farming and communal ownership to force most of the rural population into coffee production. Consequent land shortages decreased per capita food production.

Six of the riparian countries - the Democratic Republic of Congo (D.R. Congo), Egypt, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda - formed the Technical Co-operation Committee for the Promotion of the Development and Environmental Protection of the Nile Basin (TECCONILE). The other four riparian states participated as observers. Within this framework, the Nile River Basin Action Plan (NRBAP) was prepared with support from CIDA. One of the projects (Project D3), whose objective is to develop a co-operative framework for management of the Nile, was endorsed by all countries during the 3rd meeting of the Nile-COM (Arusha, 9-11 February, 1995)

Annual Report Annual Report Nairobi, regional delegation (Djibouti, Kenya, Tanzania) In 1997 the delegation in Nairobi continued to provide support for ICRC operations throughout the region. During the year specialists based in Nairobi, in addition to running a regional technical workshop, assisted the other delegations in many spheres: agricultural and veterinary work, nutrition, water supply and sanitation, restoration of family links, aerial logistics and operations, transportation, administration, assistance to staff, dissemination of humanitarian law among the armed forces and other bearers of weapons, relations with the media and promotion of the ICRC's work. At the same time the delegation focused on the situation of refugees in Tanzania, political tension and violence in Kenya and, to a lesser extent, political developments in Djibouti. On 1 May responsibility for the ICRC's work in Uganda, previously borne by the Nairobi-based staff, was handed over to a new delegation set up in Kampala. In Djibouti the year was marked by political tension stemming from power struggles over the succession to the president in office and, from September, by the resumption, albeit limited, of military activity by a dissident faction of the FRUD.* Arrests were made among the Afar opposition, while other opposition members were extradited from Ethiopia. The ICRC was able to visit these people, who were held in Gabode prison.

On behalf of the Government and People of the United Republic of Tanzania, I welcome all our guests to our country and to this launching ceremony of the Ceasefire Talks between the Transitional Government of the Republic of Burundi and armed groups fighting the government in that country. Today is an historic day. For too long we have waited, and done all that we could, to have such a meeting convened so as to complement and hopefully conclude the arduous Burundi peace process. We have come to this day through a tortuous path that began in Arusha with Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyereres painstaking efforts to produce a peace accord for Burundi. It was a feat that was subsequently accomplished by another outstanding son of Africa, President Nelson Mandela, when the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement for Burundi was signed on 28 August 2000.

The pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is without a doubt one of the oldest and most moving walks of all time; the journey wends its way across borders and through centuries, following in the footsteps of thousands of medieval pilgrims. The age of the pilgrimage coincided with both the reconquest of the Moors and the full expansion of Romanesque art. It becomes obvious that the wonderful churches and monasteries along the Compostela Trail constitute a traveling museum, bearing eloquent testimony to the history and religious passion of a thousand years. The route travels through the heart of the beautiful Sierras of Navarre and Aragon. Details, Departures and Prices Per Person (Canadian Dollars)
OSSREA Workshops at the University of Dar es Salaam, tanzania, from 1115 the formation of discipline-orientedregional associations as in the case of Geography and history. http://www.ossrea.net/activities/workshops.htm
Extractions: One of the approaches followed by OSSREA to realize its aim of promoting dialogue and interaction between social scientists, on the one hand, and between the scholars, development practitioners, and policy-makers, on the other hand, is the creation of public forums for the discussion and dissemination of research findings that are pertinent to development. Such forums have taken the form of national workshops, discipline-focused workshops, regional and international thematic conferences and the OSSREA Congress. These workshops and conferences have resulted in important publications. National Workshops Initially, OSSREA had been organizing the National Workshops in collaboration with institutions in member countries. After the formation of the National Chapters, however, each one began to select a topic that is timely and relevant for that country and organised a national workshop in which members of its constituency and other experts in the field can presented papers and participated in the deliberations. This tradition has continued to-date although the timing of the workshops is irregular. So far the following National Workshops have been organised in various member countries: The Indigenization of the Zimbabwe Economy: Problems and Prospects. (18-19 August 1994)
