  • Converting a Political Goal to Reality: The First Steps to Materialize Mongolia’s Nuclear-Weapon Free Status
    Mongolian Journal of International Affairs, 2013
    Co-Authors: Jargalsaikhan Enkhsaikhan
    Abstract:

    In this article the author documents chronologically the initial steps taken by Mongolia to promote its initiative to turn its territory into a nuclear-weapon-free zone by having the General Assembly of the United Nations acknowledge and express support for such a status. This is not an analytical but a chronologically descriptive article that is based on the materials available to the Mongolian side only. It does not cover the discussions that the five nuclear-weap­ons States (the P5)1 had when preparing responses to Mongolia’s various substan­tive or procedural proposals, nor the discussions held in their capitals on either how to respond bilaterally to Mongolia’s suggestions or as P3 (US, UK and France) or P5. As with achieving durable peace, establishing a credible nuclear-weapon-free zone status is both a Goal and a process. In this case the Goal can be achieved through collective efforts and gradually. The process will continue until a viable status is established that would form part of an internationally agreed nuclear-weapon-free regime. To achieve this Goal close cooperation is needed. The article will describe the Mongolian example of how multilateralism and mutual under­standing are essential in addressing the challenges that the international commu­nity is facing in this increasingly interdependent world. Competition, cooperation and compromise are the indispensable approaches and tools to address these and other international Goals and challenges. When undertaking this chronology of the measures taken to have the General Assembly of the United Nations adopt in 1998 its first resolution on Mongolia’s nuclear-weapon-free status, the author, as still public servant, deliberately refrained from making in-depth analysis or value judgments of the positions taken by Mongolia or the P5 separately or as a group with respect to the substance of the issues involved or procedures followed.

  • an exploratory approach to a twitter based community centered on a Political Goal in south korea who organized it what they shared and how they acted
    New Media & Society, 2014
    Co-Authors: Sujin Choi, Han Woo Park
    Abstract:

    This study provides an empirical account of how an online community has employed social media to mobilize people for a Political Goal. The case explored is a Twitter-based community in South Korea that calls for the elimination of a conservative national daily newspaper and whose activism is contextualized in the Political history of Korea. Based on the mixed-method approach, the research results suggest that the role of the group organizer as an information provider and coordinator contributed to the sustainability of the group, and that group members formed a collective identity through the framing process of discourse. In addition, massive “retweeting” and “culture jamming” tactics were found to be strategically employed to enhance group solidarity, to broaden the base of support, and to crystallize involvement into Political acts with other offline actions. Rather than decaying to an echo chamber or “slacktivism”, the online community seemed to demonstrate a new form of collective activism through the...

  • Errors and Omissions: Donor Compensation Policies and Richard Titmuss
    HEC Forum, 2015
    Co-Authors: Joshua Penrod, Albert Farrugia
    Abstract:

    Many global and national systems of regulation of blood donors and donor compensation rely for intellectual support on Richard Titmuss’s views, represented in The Gift Relationship. Based on selective interpretation of data from the 1960s, Titmuss engineered an ethical view pertaining to donors and, in so doing, created not only ongoing stereotypes, but created a cause for followers to perpetuate misunderstandings about the nature of such donations. In many cases, donors are, in fact compensated, but regulatory systems persevere in using definitional fig leaves in order to perpetuate an ongoing Political Goal of diminishing private sector participation in health care. However, in more recent works, including new views of critical sociology and evolutionary psychology, the Titmuss worldview has been turned upside-down. Evidence readily available today proves the safety of compensated donation and the lives saved by encouraging policies for both compensated and non-compensated donation.
