![]() | The Self-Governance of Tibet Squished between super powers.. *As the world reacts to China's crackdown in Tibet, one country is conspicuous by both its centrality to the drama and its reticence over it. India, the land of asylum for the Dalai Lama and the angry young hotheads of the Tibetan Youth Congress, finds itself on the horns of a dilemma. On one hand, India is a democracy with a long tradition of allowing peaceful protest, including against foreign countries when their leaders come visiting. It provided refuge to the Dalai Lama when he fled Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959, granted asylum (and eventually Indian citizenship) to more than 110,000 Tibetan refugees, and permitted them to create a government-in-exile (one that India does not recognize) in the picturesque Himalayan hill town of Dharamsala. |
![]() | Jean Tresch- property rights abuse in Alabama! Update -- April 29th, 2008 The Marshal County Commission declared Jean Tresch's real property to be free from "junk," as defined by the county's "code enforcement officer." "BUT" - under "Limited Self-Governance," fines and court cost will automatically be reinstated if anyone files another complaint against Jean within the next twelve months. Regulating Jean's behavior and living in fear of governmental retribution are just two benefits of "Limited Self-Governance"! In this video Jean Tresch, resident of Marshall County - victim of "Limited Self-Governance", (LSG) is interviewed by Paul Brothers for the Marshall County Citizens for Property Rights organization. Fifteen counties across Alabama have deceptively enacted LSG through inadequate ballot language. "Governance is not government -- it is the framework of rules, institutions, and practices that set limits on the behavior of individuals, organizations and companies", United Nations "Human Development Report", 1999, page 8.

His PhD thesis showed how the science of control and communication in the animal and the machine could be extended to organisations to create a science of governance as presented in his articles. His thesis built upon his education as an electrical engineer in Tasmania, BSc from the University of Melbourne and an MBA from Harvard. From 1966 to 1974 he was a founding partner in a private group that gained control of over a dozen publicly traded corporations in Australia. This gave him experience as a controlling shareholder, company director, chairman of one company, and CEO of two others. As a serial entrepreneur founding new enterprises, some of which became publicly traded, he gained further experience as a Chairman and CEO. He also became joint CEO/owner of a mutual fund management company. In 1975 he founded the first educational course in the world to provide an educational qualification for company directors and published his first book on Democratising the Wealth of Nations. The novel ideas in his book led to consulting assignments for multi-national corporations, United Nations, World Bank, and governments, including in 1991 the Peoples Republic of China and Czechoslovakia. Since 2001 he has been rating the governance of the largest 100 organisations in Australia by turnover and introduced an MBA elective at Macquarie University on evaluating and designing the governance architecture of organisations in the government, non-profit and private sectors. His latest book was commissioned by the New Economics Foundation in London and published in 2002 as A New Way to Govern; Organisations and society after Enron. |

![]() | Abkhazia - Apsny | Documentary film | Part 1 of 6 REPUBLIC OF ABKHAZIA Geography Abkhazia is situated on the Eastern Bank of the Black Sea, bordering to the West with Russia on the Psou River and to the East with Georgia on the Ingur River. On the North the Grand Caucasian Range. It has six main administrative regions: Gagra, Gudauta, Sukhum, Ochamchira, Tquarchal and Gal. The republic contains three National Parks in Pskhu-Gumista, Pitsunda-Mussera and Ritsa. Furthermore the country is rich in fresh water resources with many lakes and rivers. The climate is subtropical. People In the VIII century, the Abkhaz established one of the most influential states of the time - the Abkhaz Kingdom. In the XI century as a result of dynastic marriages, this state fragmented into several minor independent Kingdoms. At this stage until the XIX century, Abkhaz and Georgians coexisted in two separate and independent countries. In 1810 Abkhazia voluntarily became a protectorate of the Russian Empire. Until 1864 it preserved its statehood and system of self-governance in the form of a sovereign principality. As a result of the Russian-Circassian War in the middle of the XIX Century many Abkhaz like Adyghe, Shapsugh, Ubykh, Abaza and other indigenous nations had to flee to the Ottoman Empire. This period of deportation is called "Makhajyr". Approximately more than 250.000 Abkhaz were deported from Abkhazia to Turkey. Being demographically misbalanced Abkhazia had become a favourable territory for migration of other nations like Georgians to Abkhazia. After the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917, Georgia and Abkhazia took a way of creating two independent states, but in May 1918 the new Georgian Democratic Republic occupied and annexed Abkhazia. Prior to this occupation the Abkhaz National Council had been formed, actively developing regional state institutions in the Northern Caucasus and Southern Russia (Circassia). As a result of these processes, Abkhazia joined the Union of Mountainous Peoples of the North Caucasus, and then the Mountain Republic and the southeastern Union of Cossack Forces, Caucasian Mountain Peoples and Free Peoples of the Steppe. Hence, following the annexation of Abkhazia by Georgia, the leadership of the Mountain Republic issued a formal protest to the authorities of the Georgian Republic and Germany, whose troops had participated in the operation. Abkhazia led its liberation war against Georgia from 1918 till 1921. On the 4th of March 1921, the Georgian authorities in Abkhazia were overthrown by Abkhaz rebels; 'Kiaraz' movement. An independent Soviet Socialist Republic of Abkhazia was proclaimed on the 31st of March 1921. On the 21st of May 1921, the Revolutionary Committee of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic recognised the independence of Abkhazia. In December 1921 the Abkhaz SSR, under pressure from Stalin was forced into a Union Treaty with the Georgian SSR, which created the basis for state-legal relations between Abkhazia and Georgia. According to this treaty, the SSR of Georgia and the SSR of Abkhazia entered into a military, political and economic alliance. State-legal relations between Georgia and Abkhazia were based on the treaty, which provided equal rights. Following this the Abkhaz SSR took part in the establishment of the USSR.

![]() | You have to raise your consciousness In this video, I am going to talk about how liberal democracy and individualism is a limited ideology that excludes many marginalized groups , such as women, gays , lesbians, transgender, racial minorities, and the supposed "illegal immigrants." Effective democracy means knowing that our identity is shaped by our socialization. According to Cornelius Castoriadius, individual is a society and only exists in relation to other people. The human subject is a caught in a social historical field. Effective democracy means self-institution and self governance and the effective autonomy of the individuals, not just abstract equality. |
