Contextualising Afghanistan’s Transitions: Influences and Challenges
No full textAfter decades of turmoil a new phase is opening up for Afghanistan, in which a new generation comes to the fore as many of the key players from earlier phases, including foreign interventionist powers, leave the scene. Although this new phase offers new possibilities and increased hope for Afghanistan’s future, the huge problems created in earlier phases remain. This book presents a comprehensive overall assessment of the current state of politics and society in Afghanistan, outlining the difficulties and discussing the future possibilities. Many of the contributors are Afghans or Afghan insiders, who are able to put forward a much richer view of the situation than outside foreign observers
Lionel Billows (1909 – 2004): in memoriam
No full textLionel Billows, who died earlier this year at the age of ninety-four, was a pioneer of
what came to be known as ‘situational language teaching’, the mainstream approach
which preceded communicative language teaching in the British ELT tradition. He
was best-known for his book Techniques of Language Teaching (1961), whose
humanism and continuing interest value Maley (2001) has recently highlighted.
Billows’ most notable practical achievement was his work as Education Officer for
the British Council in South India between 1954 and 1960, when he conceived and
initially directed a ‘campaign’ for the wholesale retraining of 28,000 Primary School
teachers. This project has entered ELT mythology as the ‘Madras Snowball’, due to
an article by Billows’ successor which unaccountably fails to mention his contribution
(Smith 1962), but Billows himself disliked the term, preferring to call it instead the
‘MELT (Madras English Language Teaching) Campaign’
Introduction
No full textThe 1990s saw the United Nations, the militaries of key member states, and NGOs increasingly entangled in the complex affairs of disrupted states. Whether as deliverers of humanitarian assistance or as agents of political, social, and civic reconstruction, whether in Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, or East Timor, these actors have had to learn ways of interacting with each other in order to optimize the benefits for the populations they seek to assist. Yet the challenges have proved daunting. Civil and military actors have different organizational cultures and standard operating procedures and are confronted with the need to work together to perform tasks to which different actors may attach quite different priorities.\ud
From Civil Strife to Civil Society explores the nature of these challenges, blending the experience of scholars and practitioners. It is underpinned by an understanding that recovery from disruption is a laborious process that can easily be de-railed. The first part of the book offers a rigorous examination of the dimensions of state disruption and the roles of the international community in responding to it; the second part looks at military doctrine for dealing with disorder and humanitarian emergencies; the third part examines mechanisms for ending violence and delivering justice in post-conflict times; the fourth part investigates the problems of rebuilding trust and promoting democracy; the fifth part deals with the reconstitution of the rule of law; while the sixth and seventh parts address the reestablishment of social and civil order.\u
