Introduction Africa , second largest of Earthâs seven continents, covering 23 percent of the worldâs total land area and containing 13 percent of the worldâs population. Africa straddles the equator and most of its area lies within the tropics. It is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the west, the Indian Ocean and Red Sea on the east, and the Mediterranean Sea on the north. In the northeastern corner of the continent, Africa is connected with Asia by the Sinai Peninsula. Africa is a land of great diversity. If you were to trek across the continent, you would pass through lush, green forests and wander vast, grassy plains. You would cross barren deserts, climb tall mountains, and ford some of the mightiest rivers on Earth. You would meet diverse people with a wide range of cultures and backgrounds and hear hundreds of different languages. You would pass through small villages where daily life remains largely the same as it has been for hundreds of years, as well as sprawling cities with skyscrapers, modern economies, and a mix of international cultural influences. Africa is the birthplace of the human race. Here, early humans evolved from apes between 8 million and 5 million years ago. Modern human beings evolved between 130,000 and 90,000 years ago, and subsequently spread out of Africa. Ancient Egypt, one of the worldâs first great civilizations, arose in northeastern Africa more than 5,000 years ago. Over time many other cultures and states rose and fell in Africa, and by 500 years ago there were prosperous cities, markets, and centers of learning scattered across the continent.

Extractions: Appendixes Each chapter contains only the examples I have deemed necessary to illustrate the thesis of that chapter. Many more historical and current citations are necessary to convince the skeptic that the power-diffusion process is credible; these are listed here, beginning with appendix 2.1. Obviously, no number of examples will prove any point, but an abundance is necessary to be convincing. In these appendixes, LDC refers to less-developed countries and MDC to more-developed countries. Appendix 1.1: Institution Theory in Modern Economics The grandfather of institutional economics is John R. Commons, who in 1934 described the economic system in terms of the institutions through which it functioned. His work was grounded in the history of economic thought. However, it did not make much impact on the mainstream, and later work on institutional economics takes off from a different point. Buchanan and Tullock and others in public choice address these further questions: Under what contractual arrangements should public goods be produced? Who should benefit and who should pay the costs? In a review of Buchanan's contributions, Thomas Romer
Extractions: e-mail: vanessa-shelton@uiowa.edu Release: Immediate UI students receive T. Anne Cleary International Dissertation Fellowship IOWA CITY, Iowa Some 21 University of Iowa doctoral students received the T. Anne Cleary International Dissertation Research Fellowship during the 1997-98 academic year. Fellowships are awarded annually to doctoral candidates whose dissertation research, conducted abroad, will promote the role of international education and research at the UI. "The fellowship program is contributing to the 'internationalization' of the university and its programs, and enhancing the graduate experience of recipients," said UI Graduate College Dean Les Sims, creator of the program. The program, initiated in 1993, is a tribute to the late T. Anne Cleary, UI associate vice president for academic affairs and professor in the division of psychological and quantitative foundations. The program is a way for Cleary's memory to live on and to support her strong commitment to international opportunities for students during their graduate careers. Cleary was a victim of the fatal November 1991 shootings on the UI campus. Coordinated by the Office of International Education and Services, the fellowships typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 with consideration of proposals for support of up to $15,000. Awards consist of a stipend, post-comprehensive examination tuition and contributions to travel, subsistence and/or research expenses.

Extractions: Ideology therefore demands of individuals or groups to recognise the unavoidability of their place in life. We note also that ideology is closely related to myth and, as we know: The community therefore is not any better than Wacanga. They approve of her actions and celebrate them. The image of the girl here deviates sharply from the traditional image of the passive, quiet girl in the society. Traditionally too, the vain girl ends up getting married to handicapped men or to uncircumcised boys. When the marriage of the girl and the Hawk fails, the community that had participated in the beer drinking spree has no moral grounds to condemn Wacanga. It is also significant to notice that the girl's marriage does not work even though she has gone through all the necessary customs, thereby implying that going through those rituals is no guarantee for a happy and prosperous marriage. The rituals are empty. Wacuka Kamwangirwa and his father's guard This is the common motif of the obedient girl vis a vis the disobedient and jealous step-sister. Kamwangirwa drops her father's gourd when they go to fetch water. She follows this gourd and in route she faces temptations but she does not give in. She finds food cooking itself, and serving itself. The food asks her to come cook, serve and eat but "she does not eat that which eats itself"; she refuses to give in to these temptations and is therefore rewarded with all kinds of jewellery. When she goes home, Wacuka is jealous and she takes the gourd and drops it in the river deliberately. She gives in to the temptations and for her reward; she gets a dress made of

Extractions: CHAPTER 5 Syncretism A. Overview Syncretized Civilocracy and Universal Principles Civilocracy is a syncretized type of representative democracy. It syncretizes the best elements of meritocracy-based sortition and elections into a democracy that is more appropriate for our modern age of high technology, mass media, and an increasingly complex global social structure that has become exceedingly vulnerable to mismanagement through conflicts of interest by ruling elements of global militocracy-corpocracy. Since syncretism plays a dynamic role in not only the development and implementation of civilocracy, but also in the process of impartially establishing the globally-endorsed Universal Principles, background information on syncretism is provided for reference. Definition of Syncretism W) Syncretism is defined as reconciliation or fusion of differing systems of belief, as in philosophy or religion, especially when success is partial or the result is heterogeneous. It is the attempt to reconcile disparate, even opposing, beliefs and to meld practices of various schools of thought. It is especially associated with the attempt to unify and reconcile several originally discrete traditions, especially in the theology and mythology of religion.
