Die Akasias, algemeen bekend as "doringbome", is waarskynlik the
kenmerkendste en mees bekende groep bome in Afrika. Hulle is een
van die grootste groepe en word gewoonlik met 'n tipiese Afrika
landskap geassosieer. Hierdie omvattende boek, veldgids tot die
Akasias van Suid-Afrika, maak dit maklik om Akasias te identifiseer
en sluit in: 'n Volledige weergawe van al 48 erkende spesies,
subspesies en varieteite van die genus Acacia wat binne die grense
van Suid-Afrika voorkom, insluitende vier nuut beskryfde spesies.
Kleur illustrasies van die mees belangrike aspekte rakende die
identifikasie van hierdie plante. Bondige teks waarin die habitat,
algemene voorkoms, hoofstam, lote, dorings, blare, bloeiwyse, peule
en saad van elke vorm beskryf word. 'n Verspreidingskaart van elke

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Politics -
International Politics - Topic: International Organisations, grade:
70, University of Cape Town (Department of Political Science),
course: International Relations, language: English, abstract: A
large portion of the literature that deals with the evolution of
the R2P focuses on the principle's progression from the ICISS
report to the HLP report, the Secretary-General's report and
ultimately the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document. This thesis
provides a discussion of the main events and arguments that have
influenced the debate around the R2P and the principle's evolution,
namely, the war on terror and the 2003 war in Iraq, the crisis in
Darfur, and lastly, U.N. Security Council buy-in regarding the
ICISS articulated criteria to guide the use of military force in
humanitarian intervention. The thesis is divided into three
sections, the first providing a conceptual background to
humanitarian intervention. The second part shifts the discussion to
the ICISS and the R2P, and the final section focuses on the main
factors that have influenced the principle's evolution. A central
theme underlying the reason for the undertaking of this thesis is
the claim that the international system is experiencing a change in
the writers/authors of the rules of the system. The argument is
built by using the abovementioned main factors influencing the
R2P's evolution as evidence - the central assertion being that the
war in Iraq has weakened the moral standing of the U.S. and the
U.K., and has negatively impacted on the credibility of these
states as norm carriers. This has not only diminished their ability
to build consensus on and commitment to the R2P, but has also
engendered widespread hostility and suspicion towards the
principle. The result is an international endorsement of the R2P
that is substantially different from its initial emergence in the
ICISS report, which by many accounts lacks much of the substance
which would
Research Paper from the year 2009 in the subject Sociology - Work,
Profession, Education, Organisation, grade: 83%, University of Cape
Town, language: English, abstract: Drawing on information gathered
by means of one-on-one interviews, and supplemented and supported
by a vast depth of literature in the respective field, this study
aims to identify and discuss the effects of non-standard work on
the modus operandi of trade unions in South Africa. The study makes
use of a relative small sample of seven experts in the field of
industrial relations/industrial sociology, and research interviews
were conducted based on an interview schedule, but not limited to
it. Although the South African trade union movement operates in
much the same if not entirely same manner as it did pre-1994, a
number of factors have been identified and discussed which have
impacted on and affected the labour movement at both organisational
and grassroots level.
Research Paper from the year 2010 in the subject Politics -
International Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 76%,
University of Cape Town, course: International Relations Honours,
language: English, abstract: The end of the Cold War, some have
argued,1 has dealt the three worlds classification scheme a fatal
blow and the break-up of the former Soviet Union and the associated
disintegration of the Second World has to a large extent diminished
the rationale which underlay the concept of the Third World.2
Furthermore, from its heyday in the 1970s, Third Worldism has been
on a path of terminal decline due to a number of factors, such as
disproportionate economic development among Third Worldist states,3
political differences and the failure to establish a "common
programme for international economic and political reform."4 Within
the literature relating to Third Worldism, the concept of the Third
World itself, and the three worlds scheme, there is a lively debate
with some arguing that the concept has become an anachronism,5
others maintaining that the concept maintains significance in the
contemporary era. Furthermore, while there is general consensus
within the literature that Third Worldism has experienced a
declining trend, some argue that there is both the need and space
for a revival of Third Worldism.6 == 1 Arif Dirlik, "Spectres of
