  • two perspectives on zimbabwe s national Democratic Revolution thabo mbeki and wilfred mhanda
    Journal of Contemporary African Studies, 2012
    Co-Authors: David Moore
    Abstract:

    The concept of the ‘National Democratic Revolution’ (NDR) is often used by left-leaning scholars and political actors in attempts to explain or justify the lack of socialism in third-world societies governed by rulers who consider themselves ‘scientific socialists’. It has been invoked in analyses of Zimbabwe by both the former president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, in 2001 as he was embarking on his ‘quiet diplomacy’, and Wilfred Mhanda, a Zimbabwean guerrilla leader imprisoned by the Mozambican government in the late-1970s for posing problems to the leadership aspirations of Robert Mugabe, who later became president of the country posing problems for Thabo Mbeki among others. Analysis of both these political intellectuals’ writing sheds light on the concept of the NDR (evoked often in contemporary South African politics and Zimbabwean discourse about the current crisis) as well as the theoretical and practical aspects of the authors’ careers.

  • a decade of disquieting diplomacy south africa zimbabwe and the ideology of the national Democratic Revolution 1999 2009
    History Compass, 2010
    Co-Authors: David Moore
    Abstract:

    Reflections on South African diplomacy regarding Zimbabwe, inspired by hopes that Nelson Mandela’s discourse of cross-border support for liberal human rights would continue after his departure, are pervaded by disquiet. They suggest that Thabo Mbeki’s ‘quiet diplomacy’ during the decade of his incumbency indicated either cynical realpolitik or enthusiastic support for a dictator, under the guise of supporting Zimbabwean sovereignty and pan-Africanism. This more nuanced article takes ideas seriously by closely examining a long Mbeki text on the question of Zimbabwe, underpinned by the Soviet-inspired ‘national Democratic Revolution’ ideology. This ‘NDR’ discourse illustrates much about the contradictions of ‘marxists’ in power in a world far from approaching the ideology’s progenitors’ expectations, regarding both foreign policy and further realms of ‘democracy’. Examination of the text thus illustrates the petards upon which many African rulers rest, pointing to even more disquiet for advocates of liberal (or socialist) democracy – abroad and at home.

  • The Agricultural Tax Policies of the CPC during the Democratic Revolution Period
    Journal of Changchun Normal University, 2010
    Co-Authors: Xue Jin-yan
    Abstract:

    During the period of Democratic Revolution,the CPC's agricultural tax policies guided with the Marxist theory of class division,based on the specific circumstances of China's rural society,took the reduction of rent and interest as well as the reformation of feudal land system as the premise,and implemented the principle of determining tax burden according to class structure in rural Revolutionary bases.The agriculture tax policies effectively weakened feudal exploitation system,successfully aroused peasants' enthusiasm for developing agricultural production and supporting the Revolution,thus made historical contributions to the victory of China's New Democratic Revolution.To be specific,the CPC's agriculture tax policies in different historical periods of the New Democratic Revolution are not the same:the claim of tax reduction in the First Civil Revolutionary Wartime,the policy of attacking landlord and rich peasants,as well as protecting the benefits of poor,hired peasants and middle peasants during the Land Revolution period,the policy of anti-Japanese national united front in anti-Japanese War times,and the policy of reasonable burden during the War of Liberation.

  • Arab Spring, Libyan Liberation and the Externally Imposed Democratic Revolution
    2018
    Co-Authors: Haider Ala Hamoudi
    Abstract:

    89 Denver University Law Review 699 (2012)Richard Albert wants to know what happened to our commitment to the Democratic Revolution, and I share his frustrations and his befuddlement. Indeed, I might phrase the question more broadly than he has, and ask precisely what has become of our commitment to Democratic rule, however brought about. Contemporary events in the Arab world leave one more confused than ever as to America's understanding of its own role in supporting Democratic orders. This is a matter that deserves more attention than it has been receiving. I consider Professor Albert's contribution important, and helpful in advancing the discussion in a positive direction. I only hope in these few pages to expound upon the ideas he has presented, and extend them into directions which he may not have anticipated, indeed which he might disclaim, but which must command greater consideration. In particular, I want to explore a central irony in our times concerning the externally imposed Democratic Revolution.
