  • have we heard the last oil environmental insecurity and the impact of the amnesty programme on the niger delta Resistance Movement
    Review of African Political Economy, 2013
    Co-Authors: Daniel Egiegba Agbiboa
    Abstract:

    The paper draws on the theories of relative deprivation (RD) and Edward Azar's protracted social conflicts (PSC) to explain how the twin woes of oil and environmental insecurity are implicated in the Niger Delta conflict. The paper presents a new empirical angle on the existing Niger Delta narrative by assessing the impact of the 2009 amnesty programme on Resistance Movements in the oil-rich region, while focusing on the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND). The paper argues that the amnesty programme stops short of addressing underlying issues that continue to nurture sustained grievances in the Niger Delta. [Avons-nous entendu la derniA¨re?

L'article prA©sente un nouveau point de vue empirique sur l'histoire actuelle du delta du Niger en A©valuant l'impact du programme d'amnistie des mouvements de rA©sistance de 2009 dans cette rA©gion riche en pA©trole, tout en se concentrant sur le Mouvement pour l'A©mancipation du delta du Niger. L'article affirme que le programme d'amnistie n'aborde pas les problA¨mes sous-jacents qui continuent d'alimenter les conflits dans le delta du Niger.

  • Stretching the Rule of Law: How the Norwegian Resistance Movement influenced the provisional treason decrees of the exile government, 1944-1945
    'Informa UK Limited', 2020
    Co-Authors: Borge, Baard Herman, Vaale Lars-erik
    Abstract:

    This article examines the role of the Norwegian Resistance Movement ‘Hjemmefronten’ (the Home Front, HF) as a political interest group during the exile government’s formulation of provisional laws meant for the postwar reckoning with Norwegian collaborators and foreign war criminals. The article argues that the Resistance through its judicial committee in Oslo had a decisive impact on the final versions of three decrees that, though constitutionally contested, formed most of the legal basis for the judicial settlement after 1945. It is shown how the intervention of the HF in the legislative process during 1944 and 1945 exacerbated the constitutional difficulties associated with the penal decrees passed in London. Compared to other Western European countries occupied by Nazi Germany the influence of the Resistance over the wording of treason laws almost certainly is unique

  • reintroducing a local level multiparty system in uganda why be in opposition
    Government and Opposition, 2009
    Co-Authors: Ragnhild L Muriaas
    Abstract:

    In a referendum in July 2005 the people of Uganda voted overwhelmingly in support of reintroducing the multiparty system. As a result, one expected an increase in candidates running on party tickets other than the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) in the local elections in March 2006. However, the findings in this article reveal that politicians challenging the incumbent preferred to be non-partisan candidates rather than members of the opposition parties. Based on semi-structured interviews with 198 local leaders, this article connects local perspectives on the reintroduction of the multiparty system with well-known explanations of weak opposition in Africa, and discloses how formal institutions and people's notions of representation limit the prospects of the opposition at the local level.

  • environmentalism of the malcontent anatomy of an anti coal power plant struggle in turkey
    The Journal of Peasant Studies, 2015
    Co-Authors: Murat Arsel, Bengi Akbulut, Fikret Adaman
    Abstract:

    This paper introduces the concept of the ‘environmentalism of the malcontent’ to characterise a type of environmental activism that is increasingly common in Turkey. It illustrates its argument by analysing the Resistance Movement against the proposed Gerze coal power plant. By so doing, it problematises the relationship between class and environmental consciousness as well as the ability of the existing literature to accurately characterise the underlying motivation of Movements against development projects. It shows that the mobilisation in Gerze was not rooted only or primarily in environmental concerns but animated by disaffection with, among other things, neoliberal developmentalism, disregard of democratic policy-making and violent suppression of societal dissent by the state. ‘Environmentalism of the malcontent’ describes the way in which long-lasting dissatisfaction with broader processes marking the development trajectory of the country combined with personal experience in radical political actio...
