Reflections on Professor R. Inman Johnson: An Interview of G. Allen West
No full textRecorded live at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary on May 20, 1996.An interview of G. Allen West about Professor R. Inman Johnson and his interview of Professor Johnson in 1984. Dr. West was a student under Professor Johnson in the 1930s at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. West discusses the life and character of Professor Johnson who died in 1991. He covered Johnson’s relationships with students, involvement in music and racial relations work in his retirement. Said Johnson was a "Southern gentleman, a Christian, a Baptist, a teacher, a musician, a vocalist, a humorist. He was an outstanding PR man, an outdoorsman, a hunter, a fisherman, a gardener ... this is Professor Johnson, the gentleman, the friend, the man who lived by the side of the road and became a friend to man." Much of the material for this presentation came from Professor R. Inman Johnson’s book "Of parsons and profs" and the Baptist minutes collection
The politics of monetary sector cooperation among the Economic Community of West African States members
No full textThe author tries to explain why monetary cooperation and integration have been difficulty to achieve among member states of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). He shows how different interest groups--both members and nonmembers--have over time influenced policies and positions on various ECOWAS member states. Unfortunately, most negotiations for cooperation among ECOWAS member states have a much better monetary cooperation and integration program, mainly because of France's active support and participation in negotiations, mediation, and consensus building. Unfortunately, Nigeria-which has been the main force behind bilingual regional integration in West Africa--has a different agenda from France. Its promotion of a bilingual economic grouping in West Africa was in part an attempt to reduce France's influence in West Africa, so France is unlikely to allow economic and monetary cooperation and integration along Nigerian lines. The fact that Nigeria is still a weak state does not help. The choice for francophone West African countries is therefore between closer ties with France--which has provided development aid, ensured currency convertibility, and guaranteed monetary stability in those francophone countries--and closer ties with Nigeria (which has done none of the above for itself, much less for its neighbors). The increasing convergence of macroeconomic indices among ECOWAS member countries--which is essential for monetary cooperation and integration--has come about largely because of events outside of ECOWAS or because of externally (International Monetary Fund) imposed structural adjustment programs. France's support is essential for the development of a meaningful ECOWAS.Payment Systems&Infrastructure,Earth Sciences&GIS,Economic Theory&Research,National Governance,Fiscal&Monetary Policy,National Governance,Trade and Regional Integration,Earth Sciences&GIS,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Economic Theory&Research

PRIN 2022 - "Eastern Europe" between Russia and the West: Contested Spaces, Identity Building and Memory Policies in Historical Perspective
No full textThe Russian invasion of Ukraine has once again drawn the world’s attention to the peculiar geopolitical and geo-cultural dynamics of “Eastern Europe” – the mosaic of peoples, languages, cultures and religions, located between Russia and the West, that received its contemporary shape from the dissolution of the multiethnic empires in the aftermath of the Great War and was later incorporated into the Communist sphere during the bipolar era.
The end of the Cold War sparked a still ongoing intellectual debate – refueled by the enlargement of the EU – about the repositioning of the East European states on the political map, Russia’s attitudes towards the novel configurations that Europe was taking on, the role played by the legacies from the 20th century in shaping the relations between Western Europe, Russia and the other countries of the post-Communist world.
This Project gathers together eleven scholars, subdivided in three research units (Universities of Naples Federico II, Rome La Sapienza, Venice Ca’ Foscari), and equipped with the assortment of skills necessary to elucidate, against its 20th-century
background, a key issue in this debate: the mutual influences between the changes in international scenario that have been affecting Eastern Europe in the last 30 years and a range of cultural elaborations adopted by the political actors involved, such as
national identity constructions, memory wars, public uses of the past, geo-historical representations of contested borderlands, perceptions of otherness, competing ideas of Europe.
This goal will be pursued along three main lines of research: the first will examine a cluster of case-studies in national state-building and minorities policies involving Romania, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and Russia; the second one will focus on the production of history textbooks in Czechia, Ukraine, Russia, and other forms of memory politics spread throughout the area, including the Baltic states and the Balkans, such as memory legislation and mass exhumations; the third one will enlarge the scope
of the inquiry to West European (e.g. Italian, British, French, German) cultural and diplomatic engagements with Eastern Europe in the period under review.
A further ambition of this Project is in fact to obtain and disseminate a deeper understanding of the specificity of Eastern Europe and its relations with Russia and the West so as to contribute to a more integrated, truly pan-European approach to the general history of Europe, whose growing need, fostered by the development of the EU, is particularly felt in Italy at all levels of higher education.
More generally, what underlies this Project is the belief that a critical awareness of the historical processes which shaped nowadays Eastern Europe represents a sine qua non for a correct diagnosis of the potential for conflict and the chances for stabilization of the
region according to values of justice, peace and cooperation among the European peoples
