title: Japan's Export Trade, 1859-1899, With Special Reference to Silk, Tea and Coal.
Creators: name: Sugiyama, Shinya
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1981

description: My intention is to contribute to an understanding of Japan's economic development in the context of changes in the world economic structure during the second half of the nineteenth century, and to clarify the role of exports of primary products in industrialization. I focus on Japan's export trade with reference to her three main export articles of raw silk, tea and coal, which played a strategic role as the main source of finance for her industrialization. I have reviewed the interrelationship between the overseas market and the development of these export industries, in both its quantitative and qualitative aspects, examining in particular the question of international competitiveness. Exports of raw silk and tea, which were products of traditional industries, developed in connection with the European and American markets, where they competed with Chinese products; coal was developed as a modern industry by the Zaibatsu for the Asian market, and sold in competition with exports from Britain and Australia. The development of these industries was encouraged by various forms of institutional support from the Meiji government. I conclude that success in exporting depended on the degree to which exports could compete in the overseas market. This in turn basically depended on factors of quality, supply and price. In the case of silk and coal, Japan was able to increase exports through adjustment to overseas demand, mainly adjustments in production costs and technology. She was aided by favourable international economic factors such as the depreciation in the value of silver. Tea provides a contrasting example of a case where Japan failed to maintain competitiveness, due to unfavourable market conditions. Primary material has come mainly from British and United States consular reports, the Jardine Matheson Archive, papers in the Public Record Office, Japanese and Chinese records, and official statistics.

title: Land Loss, Labour and Dependence: The Impact of Colonialism on the Southern Tswana: c. 1870-1900.
Creators: name: Shillington, Kevin Thomas James
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1981

description: The central concern of this thesis is the changing nature of production and socio-economic relationships among the Southern Tswana of the northern Gape under the impact of colonisation in the late nineteenth century. It considers the importance of the region's ecological limitations which, combined with its proximity to the industrialising centre of Kimberley, contrasts the Southern Tswana's experience with that of other colonised peoples in more agriculturally suited regions of southern Africa. These combined factors greatly shortened the duration of prosperity enjoyed by African 'independent producers' and magnified the impact of colonial repression, especially in land alienation. The thesis traces the steady closing of the region's economically viable options under the impact of merchant, speculative and mining capital, and examines the extent and consequences of the Southern Tswana's participation in early diamond prospecting as well as their exploitation in the 187Os and 80s of Kimberley's provisioning and firewood markets. The thesis also investigates the development of colonial policy towards land ownership and African administration and illustrates the conflict between the missionary/merchant's Cape 'liberalism' of fostering African 'peasant' prosperity and the capital interests of land speculation and Kimberley's mining industry. It concludes with the conquest and subordination of the Southern Tswana following the rinderpest epidemic and Langeberg 'rebellion' of 1896-7 and the consequent triumph of the colonial state in support of capitalist employers and land speculators.

title: Law and Development in Sri Lanka: An Historical Perspective 1796-1978.
Creators: name: Marasinghe, Manabharana Lakshman
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1981

description: The focus of this work is to examine the way the law has been used in the development of Ceylon (called Sri Lanka, after 1972), both during the British Colonial period (1796-1948) and thereafter. Each chapter in this thesis deals with the relationship of law and the resulting changes. This thesis has been divided into five parts. Part A provides a brief historical introduction into the period under review. Part B examines three main areas relevant to the culture of the inhabitants of Ceylon, namely. Religion, Education and Language, The three chapters which make up that part deal with the impact of Colonial Laws and policies. Part C considers the twin developments of Constitutional reforms and Judicial reforms on the Island. The constitutional progression of Sri Lanka from a Colony to Independence is examined within a historical framework. The social factors relevant to each historical stage of Constitutional development is considered as an introduction to Constitutional reform. Part D deals with the role of Law and policy in Economic development. The focus of the three chapters in this part includes, the reform of property ownership (both Immovables and Movables), reform of Banking, reform of Institutional Aids to Economic development and aspects of Revenue reform. Finally, Part E attempts to draw appropriate conclusions (while explaining the role of law in development), in the light of the observations that were made in the first thirteen chapters of this thesis.

title: The Value, Composition and Significance of Japanese Trade With South-East Asia, 1914-1941.
Creators: name: Lim, Hua Sing
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1981

description: During the early part of the period 1914-1941 Japan regarded Southeast Asia simply as a supplier of raw materials and a consumer of manufactures. It was only in the 1930s that Southeast Asia became economically vital to Japan, as tension between Japan and the Western powers increased. In particular Japan feared the suspension of exports from the West and from European colonies in Asia. After 1931 Japan had a considerable balance of payments deficit with regard to the West. Consequently Japan attempted to extend her political and economic influence in Southeast Asia in order to reduce her dependence on Western supplies and markets. However, this created tension between Japan and the West as the economies of Southeast Asia were closely integrated with the economies of the Western world. Though Japan succeeded in the 1930s in penetrating these Asian markets to a considerable extent, she was unable to reduce her trade deficit with the West or to create a self-sufficiency area in Asia. Japan further increased her economic expansion into Southeast Asia, but this merely aggravated her already strained relationship with the West. In addition, during this period the Japanese business community, the Zaibatsu, which had close links with the Army, attempted to establish the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere." This was to provide an environment free of Western influence, in which the Zaibatsu could protect and develop their economic interests. Ultimately this led to the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941 and the Japanese occupation of Southeast Asia.

description: Non-zero spin orbit coupling has been reported in several unconventional superconductors due to the absence of inversion symmetry breaking. This contrasts with cuprate superconductors, where such interaction has been neglected for a long time. The recent report of a non-trivial spin orbit coupling in overdoped Bi2212 cuprate superconductor, has re-opened an old debate on both the source and role of such interaction and its evolution throughout the superconducting dome. Using high-resolution spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we reveal a momentum-dependent spin texture throughout the hole-doped side of the superconducting phase diagram for single- and double-layer bismuth-based cuprates. The universality of the reported effect among different dopings and the disappearance of spin polarization upon lead substitution, suggest a common source. We argue that local structural fluctuations of the CuO planes and the resulting charge imbalance may cause local inversion symmetry breaking and spin polarization, which might be crucial for understanding cuprates physics.

title: Residential Tenancies and the Urban Land Law: The Ghanaian Experience.
Creators: name: Kotey, Emmanuel Nee-Ashie
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1981

description: This thesis examines the functioning (or rather, in most cases, the non-functioning) of residential tenancy law in urban Ghana. Arising out of a deeply-held conviction that analysis and investigation of law should be rooted in its societal context, the first chapter examines the process of urbanization in Ghana and the housing situation in the urban areas. The interesting juristic issue of the applicablity of customary law to residential tenancies is also examined. The second chapter examines the nature of the residential tenancy in modern urban conditions. This is then compared and contrasted with other seemingly similar institutional arrangements. The substantive and procedural law affecting the creation of the residential tenancy relationship and the informality which characterizes the creation of the relationship is examined in chapter three. Examination of the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants starts from chapter four. The maintenance and repairing obligations of the parties are considered in chapter five. The obligation to pay rent is considered in chapter six - its historical antecedents and the resulting consequences being analysed. Chapters seven and eight deal with the important legal (but also political and socio-economic) issues raised by rent control and security of tenure. The thesis ends where it started from with a consideration of the concrete socio-economic and political realities of Ghanaian society and the resulting divergence between law and practice.
title: Sir John Jordan and the Afffairs of China, 1906-1916, With Special Reference to the 1911 Revolution and Yuan Shih-k'ai.
Creators: name: Lau, Kit-Ching
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1968

description: Apart from several journalistic articles there is no major work on Sir John Jordan who was the British minister to Peking from 1906 to 1920. This can probably be explained by the fifty years' rule which had until recently prevented the opening to the public of Foreign Office materials pertaining to the later years of Jordan's service. This thesis is a study of his work as British minister in Peking between 1906 and 1916. However, as the title indicates, not every aspect of Jordan's ministry nor every major event in China in these ten years is dealt with in the thesis. The emphasis is on those which have a direct bearing on his role in the 1911 revolution and his relationship with Yiian Shih-k'ai. This also accounts for choosing 1916, when Ytlan died, as the closing year of the study. Jordan's ministry between 1906 and 1916 is worthy of study in that it throws light on a vital period of Chinese internal history which was crammed with dramatic changes. Institutionally, China changed from being a dynasty to a republic and then almost to a dynasty again; militarily, she suffered from three civil wars; and politically, she was to reap from these ten years decades of internal chaos and strife which was only brought to a temporary end with the institution of the communist regime in the middle of the century. Jordan, as the British representative, as a senior diplomat with great knowledge of China and as a friend of Yiian Shih-k'ai, played an important part in these events. The primary purpose of the thesis is to identify and assess his role. It is also hoped that the thesis will throw light on British policy towards China and, to a lesser extent, Japan during these years. In this respect, it is important to bear in mind that it was during this period that Britain's predominance in China, and the Far East, was for the first time being seriously challenged. Finally, Jordan himself is an interesting person to study. His activities during these ten years serve as a case study of the place of personal influence in policy-making in the peculiar political and international setting of the time.
Study of a red clump giant, KIC~11087027, with high rotation and strong infrared excess -- Evidence of tidal interaction for high lithium abundance

description: This paper presents results from Kepler photometric light curves and high-resolution spectroscopic study of a super Li-rich giant KIC11087027. Using the light curve analysis, we measured the star's rotational period P$_{\rm rot}$=30.4$\pm$0.1~days, which translates to rotational velocity V$_{\rm rot}$=19.5 $\pm$ 1.7~km s$^{-1}$. Star's location in the HR-diagram, derived values of $^{12}C/^{13}C$ = 7$\pm$1 and $[C/N]=-0.95\pm 0.2$, and the inferred asteroseismic parameters from secondary calibration based on spectra suggest star is a low-mass red clump giant in the He-core burning phase. Using Gaia data, we found evidence of variation in radial velocity and proper motion, indicative of presence of an unresolved binary. The large V$_{\rm rot}$ is probably a result of tidal synchronization combined with the after-effects of He-flash, in which the size of the star is reduced significantly. The simultaneous presence of features like high rotation, very high Li abundance, strong dust shell, and strong flares in a single star is relatively uncommon, suggesting that the star experiencing tidal synchronization has recently undergone He-flash. The results pose a question whether the binary interaction, hence the high rotation, is a prerequisite for dredging-up of the high amounts of Li from the interior to the photosphere during or immediately after the He-flash event.

description: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are transient radio signals of extragalactic origins that are subjected to propagation effects such as dispersion and scattering. It follows then that these signals hold information regarding the medium they have traversed and are hence useful as cosmological probes of the Universe. Recently, FRBs were used to make an independent measure of the Hubble Constant $H_0$, promising to resolve the Hubble tension given a sufficient number of detected FRBs. Such cosmological studies are dependent on FRB population statistics, cosmological parameters and detection biases, and thus it is important to accurately characterise each of these. In this work, we empirically characterise the sensitivity of the Fast Real-time Engine for Dedispersing Amplitudes (FREDDA) which is the current detection system for the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). We coherently redisperse high-time resolution data of 13 ASKAP-detected FRBs and inject them into FREDDA to determine the recovered signal-to-noise ratios as a function of dispersion measure (DM). We find that for 11 of the 13 FRBs, these results are consistent with injecting idealised pulses. Approximating this sensitivity function with theoretical predictions results in a systematic error of 0.3$\,$km$\,$s$^{-1}\,$Mpc$^{-1}$ on $H_0$ when it is the only free parameter. Allowing additional parameters to vary could increase this systematic by up to $\sim1\,$km$\,$s$^{-1}\,$Mpc$^{-1}$. We estimate that this systematic will not be relevant until $\sim$400 localised FRBs have been detected, but will likely be significant in resolving the Hubble tension.

title: The Contribution of Christian Missionaries to Education in Bengal, 1793-1837.
Creators: name: Laird, M. A.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1968

description: This thesis is concerned with the educational activities of Christian missionaries in Bengal between 1793 and 1837. An attempt has also been made to relate them to the educational and religious situation in the home countries of the missionaries, principally England and Scotland, which is explored in parts of Chapters I and V. The greater part of the thesis consists of an account of the development of the missionaries' schools for boys. This is traced from the early experiments made by William Carey shortly after his arrival in Bengal in 1793, through the great extension of the schools which took place during the administration of the Marquess of Hastings under the auspices of several different societies; but which was followed by a decline in the late 1820s and finally by a revival and further progress, with a new emphasis on English, consequent on the arrival in 1830 of Alexander Duff. Some analysis is made of the educational methods used by the missionaries, the subjects taught, the type of religious teaching given, the languages used, the compilation of textbooks, the caste of pupils and teachers, and the missionaries' relationship with Indians, lay British sympathisers, and with each other. Some account is also given of the schools for girls, and of the two institutions for higher education - Serampore and Bishop's Colleges - which the missionaries founded. The thesis is based mainly on manuscript letters from the missionaries in Bengal, found in the archives of the main English missionary societies and in the National Library of Scotland; and complemented by Indian Government records and by contemporary printed reports, newspapers, and periodicals of missionary, official and general provenance.

Creators: name: De Silva, Chandra Richard
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1967

description: This thesis furnishes a survey of Portuguese rule over the northern , western and south-western plains of Ceylon from 1617 to 1638. The first chapter surveys the sources utilized and makes an assessment of previous historical writing on the subject. It also contains a brief chistorical introduction outlining Portuguese activity in Ceylon from 1505 to 1616. The three events that demarcate the period under consideration from the orevious era, namely the rebellion of Nikapitiya Bandara, the first treaty of peace between the Portuguese and the Highland kingdom of Kandy and the Portuguese conquest of the kingfom of Jaffna are examined in detail in the second chapter which traces political history up to 1623. The third chapter is exclusively concerned with events in Portuguese Ceylon during the captain generalship of Constantino de Sa de Noronha (second term 1623-1630).The survey of political history, and of the economic and social reasons which underlay political decisions is continued up to the Portuguese defeat at Gannoruwa in 1638 in the fourth chapter. The administrative superstructure established by the Portuguese in Ceylon and the armed forces, the ultimate basis of Portuguese power formed the subject of the fifth chapters while in the next are considered the principal sources of revenue and the probable revenue and expenditure of the Portuguese state in Ceylon. The seventh chapter deals with missionary activity and relates it to Portuguese political fortunes while the main themes of the study are summed up in the conclusion.

description: Zero-shot human-object interaction (HOI) detector is capable of generalizing to HOI categories even not encountered during training. Inspired by the impressive zero-shot capabilities offered by CLIP, latest methods strive to leverage CLIP embeddings for improving zero-shot HOI detection. However, these embedding-based methods train the classifier on seen classes only, inevitably resulting in seen-unseen confusion for the model during inference. Besides, we find that using prompt-tuning and adapters further increases the gap between seen and unseen accuracy. To tackle this challenge, we present the first generation-based model using CLIP for zero-shot HOI detection, coined HOIGen. It allows to unlock the potential of CLIP for feature generation instead of feature extraction only. To achieve it, we develop a CLIP-injected feature generator in accordance with the generation of human, object and union features. Then, we extract realistic features of seen samples and mix them with synthetic features together, allowing the model to train seen and unseen classes jointly. To enrich the HOI scores, we construct a generative prototype bank in a pairwise HOI recognition branch, and a multi-knowledge prototype bank in an image-wise HOI recognition branch, respectively. Extensive experiments on HICO-DET benchmark demonstrate our HOIGen achieves superior performance for both seen and unseen classes under various zero-shot settings, compared with other top-performing methods.

title: The Life and Work of Kobayashi Issa.
Creators: name: McElligott, Patrick
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1984

description: This thesis consists of three chapters. Chapter one is a detailed account of the life of Kobayashi Issa. It is divided into the following sections; 1. Background and Early Childhood. 2. Early Years in Edo. 3. His First Return to Kashiwabara. 4. His journey into Western Japan. 5. The Death of His Father. 6. Life inland Around Edo. 1801-1813. 7. Life as a Poet in Shinano. 8. Family Life in Kashiwabara. 9. Conclusion. Haiku verses and prose pieces are introduced in this chapter for the purpose of illustrating statements made concerning his life. The second chapter traces the development of Issa's style of haiku. It is divided into five sections which correspond to the4apanese year periods in which Issa lived. Each section is preceded by selected translations from his work of that period. These selections are made on the basis of their usefulness to illustrate the development of his style of poetry. In their selection the following Jiapanese works on Kobayashi Issa are the major sources; (a). Kobayashi Issa, by Ito Masao, Sanseido Press. 1942. (11). Kobayashi Issa, by Maruyama Kazuhiko, Ofusha Press 1965. (c). Kobayashi Issa, by Kuriyama Riichi, Chikuma Shbbo Press 1970. (d). Kobayashi Issa, Mukudori no Haijin, by Kaneko Tota Kodansha Press.1981. (e). Haikaiji Issa no Geijitsu, by Murata Noboru, Nishi Nihon Toyobunkakenkytisho. 1969 The text used for all translations is from The Complete Works of Issa, published by the Mainichi Shinbunsha between 1976 and 1979,. in nine volumes. The development of Issa's style is traced in relation to the major influences upon it, his rural background, his life of poverty in Edo, the discrimination and loneliness he experienced, the literary influences to which he was exposed, his personality and religious faith and its development through the suffering and misfortune he experienced. Chapter three is a brief account of the history of the study of Issa in Japan. N.B. Japanese year periods, in Japanese nengo are irregular numbers of years which coincide with the length of the reign of each emperor. The system was instituted in the 7th century and has continued ever since. The present year period, Showa, began when the present emperor began his reign in 1926, and will finish when he dies. There have been 231 year periods since the year 645 A.D.

title: Headless Relative Clauses in Japanese: An Historical Study.
Creators: name: Kaiser, Stefan Konrad Friedrich Franz
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1985

description: The present thesis examines the syntax and semantics of headless relative clauses ("B pattern") and a type of headed relative clauses ("A pattern") from which they are likely to have developed. Based on a systematic survey of representative sources of Japanese from the Nara to Muromachi periods, it traces the historical development of the various types of A and B pattern observed. Both simple and stacked patterns are dealt with, while some similar patterns are also discussed. Chapter I provides most of the general framework and objectives of the thesis. It also presents an overview of research into headless relative clauses and some related phenomena published to date in Japanese, English and German. Chapter II examines the A pattern formed by the particle no in the Nara period and thereafter and traces its historical development. Chapter III deals with the A pattern formed by particles other than no (zero etc.) during the same periods. Chapter IV discusses the B pattern formed by the particle no for each period of Japanese language history covered in this thesis, while Chapter V focusses on the B pattern formed by other particles (zero, case particles such as emphatic particles such as wa, and some others). Chapter VI examines the relationship between the A and B patterns and compares the various types of B pattern. Results are discussed and contrasted with earlier research.
title: Narrator as Interpreter: Stability and Variation in Hausa Tales.
Creators: name: Ahmad, Sa'idu Babura
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1986

description: The aim of this thesis is to show how the narrator of Hausa tales is able to maintain and render the stable elements in any particular tale while at the same time making use of a number of dimensions of variability to interpret the tale in an original or different way. This combination of fixity and flexibility ensures that story-telling remains relevant to everyday Hausa life in spite of the disapproval of many Muslim scholars and the growth of alternative means of communication and entertainment. The introduction reviews previous work on the subject, outlines the approach adopted in this thesis and discusses the background of the five principal informants used for this study. Chapter Two examines the factors that militate against and those that promote the telling of tatsuniya. Dominant attitudes to the telling' of traditional tales are discussed representing the views of the malamai, the colonial administration and the proponents of Hausa cultural revivalism. Chapter Three identifies and groups the major recurrent themes from among a corpus of 150 tales. The thematic categories are moral categories relating to such notions as fair and unfair treatment of one person by another or the expression of certain general moral virtues highly esteemed in Hausa society. Chapter Four groups tatsuniya on the basis of plot structure. Three structural categories represent alternative patterns in the deployment of episodes which are seen as discrete transitions from statement of a problem to its resolution. Chapter Five illustrates variability and stability in the rendering of a number of versions of the same story. Four pairs of stories are examined in detail having been selected to represent the thematic and structural categories outlined in Chapters 3 and 4. The extent of the narrator's freedom and constraints upon it are highlighted. Chapter Six examines the narrative performance techniques of three representative narrators. Variations in manner of description, use of song and use of specialized vocabulary are discussed. Account is taken of the particular strengths of individual performances and their strategies for ensuring audience enjoyment of their rendering of a well-known story. Appendix I contains the full list of stories marked for thematic and structural categories. Appendix II contains the Hausa texts and English translations of the stories discussed in the body of the thesis.

description: PIES AGILES arrancó a finales del año 2021 entre cubrebocas y vacunas, después del mandato de mayor aislamiento por la pandemia del COVID. El programa, que responde al objetivo de promover las agroecologías y la soberanía alimentaria, se enmarcó en lo que para muchos es un rabo de nube, un viento barredor, benéfico para la salud de la tierra, representado por un cambio de gobierno con programas de enfoque agroecológico y un decreto presidencial para la reducción y eliminación gradual del herbicida Glifosato. Este veneno usado para eliminar la mayoría de las plantas o “malas hierbas”, deja la tierra desnuda, provoca pérdida de diversidad arriba y abajo de la tierra, mata insectos y animales polinizadores, contamina cultivos, tierra y agua, intoxica a las personas, y causa reducción de jornales para los sujetos dueños y trabajadores de la tierra, a un costo cada vez más caro. En esta primera generación PIES AGILES participaron un poco más de 300 personas de 16 estados de la República Mexicana, agrupados en 12 nodos territoriales, uno de ellos Veracruz, en el Golfo de México. Después de un año de trabajo, en febrero de 2023, nace esta primera parcela de letras llamada La Milpa: relatos de soberanías. Si bien el objetivo fue practicar la escritura individual y la generación de un proyecto colectivo, también propone compartir, motivar a otros, documentar una experiencia, vincularse dentro y fuera de Veracruz, retratar un período, tener una instantánea de un grupo de trabajo y, hasta desahogarse de las cargas cotidianas. A continuación, se presentan 20 experiencias documentadas y escritas por la Comunidad de Aprendizaje, Seguimiento, y Acompañamiento, y donde maestros, promotores, aprendices y practicantes de agroecologías y soberanías, agrupados geográficamente en el norte, centro, centro-capital y sur de nuestro estado, narran brevemente los sentires, intereses, actividades, encuentros y desencuentros, deseos, luchas y resistencias en la defensa de la dignidad y la autonomía.

description: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming an integral part of both industry and society. In particular, the quadrotor is now invaluable across a plethora of fields and recent developments, such as the inclusion of aerial manipulators, only extends their versatility. As UAVs become more widespread, preventing loss-of-control (LOC) is an ever growing concern. Unfortunately, LOC is not clearly defined for quadrotors, or indeed, many other autonomous systems. Moreover, any existing definitions are often incomplete and restrictive. A novel metric, based on actuator capabilities, is introduced to detect LOC in quadrotors. The potential of this metric for LOC detection is demonstrated through both simulated and real quadrotor flight data. It is able to detect LOC induced by actuator faults without explicit knowledge of the occurrence and nature of the failure. The proposed metric is also sensitive enough to detect LOC in more nuanced cases, where the quadrotor remains undamaged but nevertheless losses control through an aggressive yawing manoeuvre. As the metric depends only on system and actuator models, it is sufficiently general to be applied to other systems.

title: The Politics of Philanthropy and Race Relations: The Joint Councils of South Africa, c.1920-1955.
Creators: name: Haines, Richard John
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London

description: This thesis looks in detail at the activities of the joint councils - inter-racial organizations involved in the fields of 'race relations' and 'constitutional' protest politics particularly during the interwar years. The first joint council was established in Johannesburg in 1921, and by the 1930s, councils had been formed in virtually all the major urban centres in South Africa, as well as in a number of smaller towns and rural centres. For reasons of narrative cohesion, as well as the dictates of space, the period covered corresponds with the individual history of the Johannesburg Joint Council, the largest and most influential of these agencies. The Johannesburg body ceased operations in 1951, and in 1955 its funds were transferred to the South African Institute of Race Relations. The joint councils are usually seen as having been closely associated with white liberal thought and practice, especially during the interwar period, and one of the chief aims of this study is to explore this assumption. Was the social reformism of the councils essentially 'white' liberalism or was it a more complex amalgam of liberalism and essentially conservative philanthropic practices? A related concern is to provide some record of the activities, perceptions and experiences of the relatively wide spectrum of people who participated in the joint councils. This dimension is important as we still know relatively little of the regional dynamics of social reformism and interracial liberal ventures. Other themes which help shape the narrative are: the relationship between the joint councils and the African petty bourgeoisie; the growth of the South African Institute of Race Relations out of the joint council movement, as well as its subsequent, almost parasitical, relationship with the councils; and reasons for the decline of the joint council movement.

description: Her yıl güncellenen ve birçok bankanın çalışma saatlerinin birbirinden farklı olduğu bilinen bir gerçektir. Bankalar belli saatlerde mesai yaparlar ve akşam genelde 5.30-6.00 civarı kapanırlar. Bankalar özellikle eft havale gibi işlemlerini gerçekleştirmek isteyenler tarafından sıkça kullanılıyor. Her ne kadar artık her işimizi ATM'ler üzerinden gerçekleştiriyor olsakta bankaların çalışma saatleri önem arz ediyor. Tek tek tüm bankaların çalışma saatlerini paylaşmaya özen gösterdik, 20 taneden fazla bankanın açılış ve kapanış saatlerini ekledik.
title: Strategy and Structure: A Case Study in Imperial Policy and Tribal Society in British Baluchistan, 1876-1905.

description: This thesis intends to explore the relation of tribe and empire in Baluchistan, as an interaction of distinct political entities, and also as an experimental confrontation between the opposed social and cultural norms associated with imperialism and tribalism. The discussion will start with a preliminary definition of tribal society in chapter one. This introductory section will also trace the evolution of local political structures in the historical context of tribal strategies to secure resources and capture local power, and the early influence of imperial forces in particular those of Persia, Afghanistan and British India in re- aligning tribal politics within the matrix of external empires, culminating in the creation of the British Baluchistan Agency of 1876, which set the larger historical framework for subsequent political patterns and trends. The second chapter will explore the imperatives of the British imperial involvement in Baluchistan, and the interlocking of the politics of the Great Game in Asia during the nineteenth century with local tribal factors, which led to significant territorial restructuring of tribal homelands, at the expense of tribal ethnicity, and old established patterns of political linkages. Internally for Baluchistan, the process of imperial penetration entailed the political and administrative encapsulation of a tribal society by an external and higher political power. Consequently Baluchistan became the political meeting ground for cultural norms fostered in contrasting social milieux. The tribal aspect of this equation is discussed in the third chapter in terms of group identity, social exchange, and material assets, which sponsored a culture of conflict intrinsic to Baluchistan society. In imperial ideology, tribal turbulence was incompatible with political control and stable government. Thus the fourth chapter sets out to explore official British strategies designed to remould tribal society in the colonial image of order and stability, and assesses the reaction of tribes to this external manipulation of their social order. The fifth chapter concentrates on the economic aspect of imperial penetration, by studying the impact of British revenue policy on tribal land structures, levels of rural income, and their adequacy for material survival. This will be followed by a concluding section, dissecting the balance sheet of empire in Baluchistan, to see if the intrusion was merely an exercise in the strategic restructuring of a military frontier, or a catalyst as well for new role definitions in tribal society, and altered social perceptions.

title: Educating the Middlemen: A Political and Economic History of Statutory Cocoa Marketing in Nigeria, 1936-1947.
Creators: name: Deutsch, Jan-Georg
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1990

description: This thesis attempts to describe the evolution of a single economic institution in Nigeria: The Nigerian Cocoa Marketing Board. The Board was set up in 1947 in order to control the buying and selling of cocoa and to regulate the activities of cocoa traders and buying firms. Such a narrow focus is justified on the grounds that the development of cocoa marketing institutions in Nigeria epitomises an important aspect of the development of the Nigerian political economy between the 1930s and 1950s. When war broke out in 1939, the Ministry of Food assumed control over the external marketing trade of all major Nigerian export commodities, including cocoa. The responsibility for the cocoa control scheme was subsequently transferred to the Colonial Office. Already in 1941, the Colonial Office and the West African governments, including the Nigerian government, began to discuss whether it would be desirable to continue or terminate statutory marketing control after the war. The decision to establish the Nigerian Cocoa Marketing Board was largely taken because the Colonial Office and the West African governments believed that statutory marketing provided a convenient administrative solution for the recurrent political conflicts in the 1930s cocoa trade. These conflicts revolved around the strained commercial relationship between European trading firms and African traders and reached a climax in the West African 1937/38 cocoa hold-up crisis. The main argument in this thesis is that, at the end of the war, the colonial authorities, parts of the nationalist movement in Nigeria, and a number of smaller African and European trading firms came to the conclusion that a return to the 1930s 'free trade' regime and its conflicts would not suit their long-term political and economic interests. This implicit consensus allowed the Colonial Office to surmount strong opposition from American, British and West African trading interests against the scheme in the politically sensitive post-war period.
