The Impact

In this article I attempt to reconcile one of the most influential diplomatic episodes of Third World liberation – Bandung – with one of the most influential thinkers of said liberation – Frantz Fanon. I argue that this reconciliation can be usefully achieved by bringing to the fore the impact of the Ethiopia/Italy conflict (1935–1941) on both Fanon’s thought and the political trajectories of various individuals and movements that ultimately met at Bandung. Specifically, I trace how anti-colonial anti-fascism, an intellectual-activist position which emerged in response to Mussolini’s fascist invasion of Ethiopia, prefigured and prepared the Bandung spirit not only in biographical terms but also in terms of casting an ethics of liberation on a global scale that interwove the fates of metropoles and colonies as well as diverse colonial subjects. I frame my investigation of these influences through Fanon’s concept of Black humanism and his diplomatic injunction on behalf of the wretched of the earth, both of which I also argue can be genealogically connected to anti-colonial anti-fascism. I conclude by suggesting that the accretion of the ethics and practices encountered across these journeys from Ethiopia to Bandung with Fanon might aid in reviving an internationalist spirit for our own constrictive age.

Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth is a handbook for developing anticolonial revolutionary consciousness. It offers an analysis of the structures created by colonialism that need to be overcome, and predicts the political distortions that might occur in postcolonial regimes. All three of these themes involve a discussion of structural and interpersonal violence as a central force in politics. Fanon’s political theory traces the interconnected nature of economic, institutional, and psychological racialized violence that undergirds modern global relations. This chapter explores Fanon’s historical analysis of decolonization, emphasizing the difficulty of achieving individual freedom and the pitfalls of collective and violent struggle. Furthermore, Fanon’s volume predicts the growth of new forms of imperialism, and the continued economic exploitation of former colonies.

The Impact

Pandemi COVID-19 atau virus corona merupakan pandemi yang sedang dirasakan dampaknya oleh hampir seluruh Negara yang ada di Dunia. Dampak tersebut tidak hanya pada aspek keselamatan hidup masyarakat, melainkan dapat dirasakan pada aspek ekonomi politik terutama pada negara dunia ke tiga seperti Indonesia. Tidak sedikit upaya yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah pusat sampai hari ini namun belum memberikan efektivitas sebagaimana mestinya. Hingga akhirnya, pemerintah menerapkan kebijakan Kebiasaan Baru dalam beraktivitas sehari – hari yang disebut juga New Normal, Semenjak dimulainya era New Normal pada kondisi pandemi COVID – 19 masyarakat sudah dapat beraktivitas hampir seperti biasanya, namun dengan tetap menjalankan protokol kesehatan. Hanya saja yang terjadi sering kali masyarakat terutama pada masjid – masjid masih banyak jemaah yang kurang mematuhi aturan protokol kesehatan tersebut yang kemungkinan akibat kurangnya kesadaran diri dan juga fasilitas dan himbauan protokol kesehatan yang kurang digalakan.Tujuan dari penulisan ini adalah untuk memaparkan alternatif-alternatif yang perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat khususnya jemaah Masjid Al-Ikhlas Jakarta Barat akan bahayanya virus covid – 19 dan bagaimana mencegah penularannya melalui kiat – kiat PHBS atau Prilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat.Kata Kunci: COVID-19, Protokol Kesehatan, Pandemi, New Normal, PHBS The COVID-19 pandemic or corona virus is a pandemic that is being felt by almost all countries in the world. The impact is not only on the aspect of the safety of people's lives, but can be felt in the political economy, especially in third world countries such as Indonesia. Not a few efforts have been made by the central government to date but have not provided the effectiveness as it should. Until finally, the government implemented a New Habit policy in daily activities which is also called New Normal. Since the start of the New Normal era during the COVID-19 pandemic conditions, people have been able to carry out activities almost as usual, but by still implementing health protocols. It's just that what often happens is that people, especially in mosques, are still many congregations who do not comply with the rules of the health protocol which may be due to a lack of self-awareness and also the lack of facilities and health protocol appeals. This needs to be done to increase public awareness, especially the congregation of Al-Ikhlas Mosque in West Jakarta about the dangers of the covid-19 virus and how to prevent its transmission through PHBS tips or Clean and Healthy Living Behavior.Keywords: COVID-19, Health Protocol, Pandemic, New Normal, PHBS

The Impact

From climate of violence to concrete violence. Revolution in Frantz Fanon’s philosophy The article shows the philosophical idea of revolution formulated by Frantz Fanon in relation to the process of decolonization in his work The Wretched of the Earth. The conception of “world divided into compartments” – in which the colonialized territory is seen as a bipartite, incoherent space of forced coexistence of the colonized and the colonizer – is being analysed in detail. Animalistic imagery depressing natives was used for a description of dependent lands and was a way to strengthen the difference and highlight the separateness (not only a cultural one, but also racial and even opposition of human and inhuman/animal). In his prorevolutionary stand Fanon suspended and relativized the evaluation of violence and liberating war. Next subjects of the analysis are violence and threats connected to the forms of resistance and the moment of transition between the first, gentle rebellion strategies to revolutionary movements leading to decolonization. In the last part of the article I outline the impact of Fanon’s philosophical conception of revolution.

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.

This article discusses impact of UMNO-PAS political cooperation towards Islamic development in Malaysia from 1973 until 1978. The success of political cooperation in 1973 was the result of both UMNO’s leader, Tun Abdul Razak and PAS’s leader, Asri Muda willingness to explore a new political approach compared to what was being practiced at that time. Both leaders then started the development of a government known as the ‘Cooperation Government’ with the combination of UMNO and PAS in 1973 and later on, the development of the National Front’s (BN) Coalition Government in 1974. The Islamic religion benefits the most from the development of the Coalition Government which is a favourable gain for the Malays in Malaysia. Henceforth, this article will discuss in detail on the impact of the political cooperation between UMNO and PAS within the cooperation period. The methods used for this research is by interview and also by referring to secondary sources which are analyzed in a historical descriptive manner that is normally practiced in historical research. At the end of this research it is established that there are profound impacts to the Islamic religion within the UMNO-PAS cooperation period within 1973 to 1978 for example, the television and radio station beginning starting their programmes with the recitation from Quranic verses, the promulgation of ‘Adhan, alcohols are no longer served in official government’s function, lottery companies are not allowed to promote and announce the lottery results in official government’s media, the establishment of Islamic institution, the strengthening of Islamic education and the appropriate change in the relevant ministry’s symbols. This article can be utilized by subsequent researchers who wish to study the impact of political cooperation between UMNO and PAS.

Justeru, artikel ini membincangkan secara terperinci impak kerjasama politik antara UMNO dengan PAS dalam tempoh kerjasama politik berkenaan. Penyelidikan ini menggunapakai kaedah temubual dan menyorot sejumlah sumber sekunder yang kemudiannya dianalisis secara deskriptif sejarah (historical descriptive analysis) yang lazimnya dipraktikkan dalam kajian sejarah. Hasil kajian ini mendapati terdapat impak-impak jelas terhadap perkembangan Islam di negara ini sepanjang tempoh kerjasama politik antara UMNO dengan PAS dari tahun 1973 hingga 1978. Antara impak-impak tersebut ialah permulaan siaran televisyen dan radio dengan bacaan ayat-ayat suci Al-Quran, mengumandangkan suara azan, penghapusan arak dalam majlis-majlis kerajaan, penghapusan promosi dan keputusan judi di media kerajaan, penubuhan institusi Islam, pemerkasaan pendidikan Islam dan penukaran simbol institisu kerajaan. Akhirnya, artikel ini dapat dimanfaatkan oleh penyelidik-penyelidik berikutnya untuk menilai impak kerjasama politik antara UMNO dengan PAS.Kata kunci: kerjasama politik, UMNO-PAS, kerajaan campuran

Cultural Structure

As in most Arab and Third World countries, the tribal structure is an anthropological reality and a sociological particularity in Sudan. Despite development and modernity aspects in many major cities and urban areas in Sudan, the tribe and the tribal structure still maintain their status as a psychological and cultural structure that frames patterns of behavior, including the political behavior, and influence the political process. This situation has largely increased in the last three decades under the rule of the Islamic Movement in Sudan, because of the tribe politicization and the ethnicization of politics, as this research reveals. This research is based on an essential hypothesis that the politicization of tribalism is one of the main reasons for the tribal conflict escalation in Sudan. It discusses a central question: Who is responsible for the tribal conflicts in Sudan?

The Impact

This chapter integrates findings on indirect elections with current scholarship on the impact of the adoption of the Seventeenth Amendment and onset of direct elections. It constructs a comprehensive counterfactual analysis that helps demonstrate what the political outcomes would have been with direct elections in place since the founding, and in contrast, what Senate elections would look like after 1913 if indirect elections were still in place. It also addresses the question of whether U.S. senators represented states as units and responded to state governmental concerns more under the indirect system than they do under direct elections. It argues that indirect election had little impact on the Senate's overall partisan composition prior to 1913. Contrary to widespread belief, had direct election been in effect during the years immediately preceding the Seventeenth Amendment's passage, Republicans, not Democrats, would have benefited.

This article analyses the impact of constitutional referendums on the political system in Italy. There were three constitutional referendums conducted in 2001, 2006 and 2016. All of them have been organised by the ruling parties, however, only the first one was successful. In the subsequent referendums, the proposals for amending the constitution have been rejected by voters. The article finds that lack of public support for the government resulted in voting „no” in the referendum.

This article is a study of the several hundred North Yemenis who went out from isolated Yemen for education between 1947 and 1959. It focuses on their backgrounds, what and where they studied, the impact on them of this experience, what they did when they returned and, finally, the impact they have had on the Yemen most hoped to change. The major conclusion is that their impact has been modest and that this is best explained by Yemen's socio-cultural system and the political structure it supports.

Abstract: Scholarly publishing and access to high-quality information may in fact be threatened, rather than improved, by the revolution in communications, particularly in a fully commercial Internet. The effects of the political revolution in Eastern Europe on scholarship and quality publishing are used as a touchstone of the dangers that occur when naïve revolutionaries make swift changes without fully recognizing the impact upon delicately balanced social institutions such as non-profit organizations. Résumé: La révolution en communications, particulièrement en ce qui regarde un Internet commercialisé, plutôt que d'améliorer l'édition savante et l'accès à de l'information de haute qualité, pourrait en fait poser une menace pour ceux-ci. Cet article examine comment la révolution politique en Europe de l'Est a influé sur la recherche et l'édition de qualité. Il utilise cet exemple pour examiner les dangers que peuvent courir certains révolutionnaires naïfs quand ils instaurent des changements rapides san songer à leur impact sur des institutions sociales à équilibre délicat comme les organisations à but non lucratif.
