Decolonizing the Concept of Rule of Law in the Context of Cultural Diversity and Belt and Road Initiative
Authors: Sangroula Yubaraj
Published: July 2024

It would not be unreasonable to argue that very little is left unsaid regarding the rule of law. Thousands of books and research works are published across the globe, arguing a multitude of theories and concepts in this regard. Academia worldwide has tiresomely grappled with defining the rule of law and establishing its conceptual framework, including the function's scope, but without much success. Colonization of this concept by the Western scholarship is one of the serious problems faced by the essence of the rule of law. Western academia essentially connects the rule of law with liberal democracy as its motherly creator. It believes that rule of law walks in lockstep with liberal democracy; hence, it argues that no other than liberal democracy can nurture the rule of law. Due to this reason, in many, academia has been sharply divided between sections appreciating it as a boon to liberal democracy and suspecting its congenital relation with it. Certain scholars claim that the rule of law is an offspring of Western liberalism. However, some view that the rule of law and liberal democracy do not necessarily walk in lockstep. Certain critics have pointed out that the Western approach overlooks the cultural component of the rule of law. Going further ahead, they contend that the concept of the rule of law is often deceitfully used by Western democracy as an instrument of encouraging influence on those having different political systems. Consequently, the concept of the rule of law, particularly in its connotation presented by Western scholars, has faced many critics, comments, and views. As a result, it has become academically vague, functionally deluded, and politically dubious. This article intends to examine the contending arguments and cultural elements of the rule of law for promoting the approach of decolonizing the concept.
Power and Epistemology: How the Western Idea of “Nation” Triumphed Over Its Indigenous Counterparts
Authors: Uddin Mohammad Moin
Published: July 2024

The Peace of Westphalia and the French Revolution are two constitutive moments of the modern idea of “nation”. The modern idea of "nation" is linked with the idea of statehood. This idea spread throughout Europe and became dominant worldwide during the heydays of European colonialism. International law, shaped by Western powers, endorsed the idea, and imposed it upon the rest of the world. Nations not claiming statehood existed before the European age of nationalism, while thousands of them still exist today in the form of “nations-within,” but most independent states do not recognize such nations. Independent states call these nations ‘communities,’ ‘societies,’ ‘ethnic groups,’ ‘gens,’ ‘tribes,’ or even ‘confederacies’—anything but nation. This paper argues that the dominance of the western idea of nation happened for two reasons: first, the triumph of European powers who believed in the superiority of western ideas, and second, the resilience and sustainability of European epistemology even after the decolonization. However, it remains a reality that non-state nations demonstrated extraordinary resilience too, surviving perennial threats and assaults from state power. Indigenous nations are prime examples of such resilience. Indigenous peoples of North America are legally recognized as nations, though indigenous peoples of Asia and Africa are denied such recognition. In this article, the author explores different trajectories of indigenous people who encounter with colonizers in settler states and in the Third World and concludes that ‘nations-within’ should be recognized with respect.

The Philippines is a country that values music tremendously. Filipino composers create music that reflects the passions that drive political and social awareness in the Philippines. Serving as a voice for every citizen who is a victim of society and demonstrating the importance of music as a transforming force for national awareness, Filipino songwriters make songs reflecting the challenges of every Filipino. Music is a tool for political and social criticism. It is a means of addressing social injustice. In Aristotle Pollisco's (Gloc-9) five select lyrical poems, this study distinguished the expressions of the Filipinos' struggle with social class and difficulties of the working people. Gloc-9 uses music to depict the challenges of Filipinos, highlighting delinquency, criminality, societal, and political issues, and how parents must scrimp and save to send their children to school and provide them with a bright future. This research focused on Filipinos and their unwavering tenacity in the face of societal challenges. It would delve more into how Aristotle Pollisco, better known by his stage name as Gloc-9, uses music to express these issues. This research attempted to bring Gloc-9 to the Gen-Zs (12-24 years old) whose musical tastes have shifted towards Westernized themes, which are improper and irrelevant to their age.

Published: July 2024

Artisanal fisheries in Kenya face substantial challenges, including inadequate enforcement, absence of tailored regulations for elasmobranch conservation and lack of robust data collection systems, hampering our understanding of fisheries and biological aspects of species. To address these challenges, this study examined the species composition, size, weight and number of shark and ray landings in three sites historically known for large catches of elasmobranchs. This research aimed to characterise Kenyan elasmobranchs fishery and exhibit its overlap with key habitats. Our findings are worrying since 79% of the landed fisheries species are categorised as threatened on the IUCN Red List. This includes the Critically Endangered scalloped hammerhead shark (Sphyrna lewini) and white-spotted guitarfish (Rhynchobatus djiddensis), both species frequently caught. Further, 97% of sharks and 46% of rays are landed as neonate and immature individuals. Urgent changes are imperative in national fisheries management to prevent the potential local disappearance of several shark and ray species. We recommend specific conservation measures to reduce the capture of threatened species and juveniles, such as banning the landing of threatened species and establishing minimum size limits. Enforcing fisheries regulations, such as mesh size, and prioritizing the protection of key habitats for the most at-risk species are essential proactive steps.
