No full textSakai, Kelko; Political Parties and Social Networks in Iraq, 1908-1920; submitted for M.A. in Faculty of Social Sciences. C.M.E.I.S.; 1994 This study is to analyze the principal patterns of proto-nationalism as they emerged in the anti-colonial movement in the first two decades of twentieth century. The earliest party political activities were based on notions of Arab separatism from the Ottoman Empire and on anti-Western attitudes on the part of some religious Shi'i. On the eve of the award of the mandate for Iraq to Britain, two major political parties were actively opposed to the British occupation, and this opposition found expression in the country-wide uprising in 1920.At this stage Iraqi nationalism, in the sense of both qawmiya and wataniya. was only at a very early stage of development. The popularity and breadth of the uprising was largely due to its being based on a combination of existing social networks, and the way in which it acted as a focus for proto-national and anti-colonial sentiments. Haras al-Istiqlal succeeded in mobilizing 'traditional society' and managed at least in part to overcome tribal, religious, sectarian and urban/ rural differences, especially with a support it attracted from Shi'i "ulama and sada'. al-'Ahd al-'Iraqi. on the other hand, originally established as an 'Arabist' society by former Ottoman officers, also tried to mobilize tribal society, mainly in northern Iraq, after becoming separated from its Syrian- based founders. This caused antagonisms between the organization’s headquarters in Damascus and tribal and other local political forces in Iraq. Both parties attempted to mobilize sentiments which can be described loosely as 'Iraqist'. Although the idea of Iraqi wataniya was still vague in 1920, this early expression of Iraqism as a proto-nationalist force has functioned as a source for reproduction and the imagining of Iraqi national identity
Perkembangan dan Pencapaian Gerakan Wanita Era Pra Merdeka: Perbandingan Tanah Melayu dan Indonesia
No full textPergerakan wanita di Malaysia dan Indonesia berasal-muasal dan membangun dalam konteks era pra merdeka iaitu perjuangan kemerdekaan tanah air. Oleh itu, kertas kerja ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan aspek-aspek gerakan wanita di Tanah Melayu dan Indonesia berkaitan feminisme dan nasionalisme pada era pra merdeka yakni kemunculannya, perkembangan dan pencapaiannya pada
peringkat kebangsaan. Hal ini memandangkan fasa tersebut ialah dekad-dekad terawal gerakan wanita dalam dua buah komuniti Tanah Melayu dan Indonesia iaitu aktor utama yang boleh mewakili komuniti Nusantara atau Alam Melayu. Gerakan wanita ini dipertalikan melalui persamaan identiti; bahasa dan budaya serta perkongsian pengalaman sejarah sebagai tanah jajahan. Sehubungan itu, kertas kerja ini memiliki tiga objektif. Pertama bagi menjelaskan kebangkitan gerakan wanita yang berlandaskan
semangat kebangsaan dan perjuangan anti kolonial. Kedua, menghuraikan sifat gerakan wanita yang wujud sepanjang perkembangannya pada era pra merdeka. Ketiga, menyorot pencapaian gerakan wanita di Tanah Melayu dan Indonesia sehinggalah tercapainya kemerdekaan tanah air. Daripada sudut metodologi, kajian ini dipandu berdasarkan rangkuman pendekatan yang dibincangkan oleh Landman
(2000) iaitu (i) kajilidik perbandingan antara negara-negara secara kualitatif, (ii) perbandingan sejumlah
kecil kes iaitu binary comparison, (iii) reka bentuk kajian most similar system design (MSSD) dan (iv)
kajian berkait penentangan politik bukan secara kekerasan dan gerakan sosial. Jenis maklumat yang dimanfaatkan dalam kertas kerja ini ialah sumber primer dan sekunder. Dalam kajian perbandingan ini, didapati bahawa nasionalisme atau semangat kebangsaan semasa era pra merdeka di Tanah Melayu dan Indonesia amat signifikan dalam mencetuskan gerakan wanita, membentuk pola perkembangan dan struktur organisasi serta ideologi gerakan. Berdasarkan perbandingan antara gerakan wanita di Tanah Melayu dan Indonesia, didapati bahawa aspek cetusan dan perkembangan menunjukkan persamaan,
sifat organisasi yang serupa dengan sekelumit perbezaan dan pencapaian gerakan sepanjang era pra merdeka yang menunjukkan perbezaan yang agak ketara daripada segi fokus isu wanita
The new year's festivals and the shrine of Ali Ibn Abi Talib Sy Mazar-I-Sharif, Afghanistan
No full textThis study examines the customs and origins of three spring festivals at the shrine of 'Ali b. Abi Talib, Mazar-i Sharif, Afghanistan; namely Nauroz, Janda Bala and Gul-i Surkh. Since these festivals are not part of the Islamic religious calendar, we seek to locate their origins in the pre-Islamic religions of Iran and record the contemporary traditions of these festivals. Since the festivals are assimilated to a shrine dedicated to the fourth Caliph of
Sunni Islam, we examine the processes which gave rise to this juxtaposition and how it came about that this shrine came to be considered a rival to Najaf.
The Sa1juq and Timurid discovery narratives are examined (Chapters 1-2) in their wider religious and cultural context, followed by an examination of Afghan folklore related to Nauroz and the pre-Islamic religious traditions of Bactria (Chapters 3-4). We conclude that an important impetus for the founding of this shrine is the fact that, until the arrival of Islam, Bactra had been the paramount pilgrimage and cult centre of the region. Over the millennia, whilst the dominant religious tradition had changed, Bactra adapted to such ideological fluctuations in order to maintain its dominance of the. lucrative pilgrimage
traffic. Marginalised by Islam, whose heroes and foci of pilgrimage lay in the Arab world, the alleged discovery of the body of Hazrat 'Ali at the site, provided an acceptable Islamic framework for the revival, or continuation, of indigenous Bactrian New Year customs.
Our examination of Gul-i Surkh, or 'Red Rose', festival (chapters 5-6) finds a parallel in the Annenian Vardavar festival. Originally this festival appears to have been derived from a blending of Iranian and Babylonian religion in Bactria, namely the cults of Anahita, Adonistrammuz and custoins associated with the Iranian hero, Siyawush. Janda Bala (Chapter 7), on the other hand, appears to be rooted in ancient Vedic and Shamanistic tradition. All three festivals, though, we argue, also represent different aspects of ancient Indo-Aryan and Babylonian fertility rites connected with the spring and vernal equinox

Looking Through the Gender Lens: Women in Sabah Under APPGM-SDG Solution Projects
No full textIn Sabah, five solution projects under the auspices of All-Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia on Sustainable Development Goals (APPGM-SDG) were related to the ‘Goal 5 Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. One of the main aspects evaluated towards solution providers and beneficiaries is ‘gender dimension’. Hence, this article underlines three research objectives. Firstly, to identify gender-driven issues faced by the women in their community. Secondly, to demonstrate the strategies executed by solution providers in collaboration with beneficiaries’ groups. Thirdly, to analyze the impacts of the solution projects by utilizing four aspects: (i) deep (personal), (ii) clear (skills), (iii) wide (network), and (iv) high (system) as a measuring tool. In terms of research methodology, this study utilizes qualitative approach in data collection and analysis comprised of (i) observation, (ii) focus group discussion (FGD), and (iii) document analysis. Based on the analysis, three main findings were obtained in line with the objectives of this study. Firstly, main issues were based on local community experiences in education, household economy and health. Despite that, most of the issues require a national and global solution framework for the betterment of their community. Secondly, good synergy between solution providers (expertise and networks) and beneficiaries’ groups (local wisdom and motivation) is ‘the key to successes for solution projects. Thirdly, assessment on four aspects of this study shows the beneficiaries groups have been empowered through knowledge, skills, and networks. The most significant findings are that the beneficiaries’ groups established a system—as a registered and licensed groups on their own and as a part of the larger groups to ensure their sustainability—thus, ensuring ‘leave no woman behind’

The impact of localising sustainable development goals (SDG) in selected Sabah parliamentary constituencies through service-learning concept
No full textThis article presents the impact evaluation of the Solution Providers Project, a flagship program of The All-Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia – Sustainable Development Goals (APPGM-SDG) on Civil Society Organization (CSO) Alliance, aimed at reducing inequalities in selected constituencies in Sabah, Malaysia. Focusing on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the lens of impact evaluator, this study adopts a service-learning conceptual framework and a mix-method research design, combining qualitative approaches (evaluator observation, focus group discussions) with numerical assessments on 15 selected constituencies. Findings reveal that while solution providers express over-optimism about reported projects, beneficiaries encounter diverse challenges in experiencing the intended impact. Data from focus group discussions highlights both success stories and obstacles, showcasing skill acquisition through hands-on experiences. However, beneficiaries’ understanding on SDGs is still at a mediocre level, despite emphasis during planning and execution. Overall, the findings from this impact evaluation can be instrumental in informing decision-making, improving program design, and shedding light on specific policy areas, particularly in reducing multidimensional inequality such as income, consumption inequality and the quality of digital education in the Sabah region
