Compendium Of Instructions Volume 1

by Shri Yetindra M. Maralkar - IAS Secretary GPSC Panaji-Goa

The Government issues numerous Circular(s)/OMs/Instructions to delineate the process of implementation of Rules and to simplify the procedures in the administration. The departments have to search for instructions at many places and sometimes in archival files for processing the proposals. A need was felt for codifying of all the instructions issued by various departments. With this thought and objective, the work of Compendium was initiated. An attempt has been made, perhaps for the first time in the State administration to cover major departments and key subjects, under one index. This compendium is a compilation of instructions issued by key departments such as Personnel, Finance, Administrative Reforms, Vigilance, Public Health, Social Welfare et al. A comprehensive index of all the instructions will navigate the reader through the compendium. This publication will enable departments to process the proposal in accordance with the extant instructions available as a ready reckoner. The bureaucracy as well as members of the public at large will benefit from this compendium to refer and use the instructions for the general good.

Peacebuilding and Ex-Combatants

by Johanna Söderström

The book examines how ex-combatants in post-war and peacebuilding settings engage in politics, as seen in the case of Liberia. The political mobilization of former combatants after war is often perceived as a threat, ultimately undermining the security and stability of the state. This book questions this simplified view and argues that understanding the political voice of former combatants is imperative. Their post-war role is not black and white; they are not just bad or good citizens, but rather engage in multiple political roles: spoilers, victims, disengaged, beneficiaries, as well as motivated and active citizens. By looking at the political attitudes and values of former combatants, and their understanding of how politics functions, the book sheds new light on the political reintegration of ex-combatants. It argues that political reintegration needs to be given serious attention at the micro-level, but also needs to be scrutinized in two ways: first, through the level of political involvement, which reflects the extent and width of the ex-combatants’ voice. Second, in order to make sense of political reintegration, we also need to uncover what values and norms inform their political involvement. The content of their political voice is captured through a comparison with democratic ideals. Based on interviews with over 100 Liberian ex-combatants, the book highlights that their relationship with politics overall should be characterized as an expression of a 'politics of affection'. This book will be of much interest to students of peacebuilding, African politics, democratization, political sociology, conflict resolution and IR/Security Studies in general.

Female Ex-Combatants, Empowerment, and Reintegration

by Michanne Steenbergen

Female Ex-Combatants, Empowerment, and Reintegration investigates the role of United Nations-led Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) programs in undermining female ex-combatants’ empowerment. The participation of female combatants in conflict has increasingly been recognized in feminist literatures and in policies and programs concerned with reintegrating ex-combatants and building peace. This has illustrated that female ex-combatants often experience "empowerment" through their role as combatant; however, this empowerment is often lost upon reintegration. UN-led DDR plays an important role in the broader peacebuilding process, as it is one of the largest interventions and directly aims to reintegrate ex-combatants into civilian life. This book draws on extensive field research and interviews with female ex-combatants and DDR officials in Liberia and Nepal to develop a nuanced and comprehensive picture of female ex-combatants’ empowerment and how this is undermined by DDR. Through reconceptualized frameworks of empowerment and an emancipatory peace, the book explores the pivotal role that DDR programs play in undermining female ex-combatants’ empowerment. The author argues that this is detrimental to peacebuilding, because DDR officials and documentation narrate female ex-combatants in limited and gendered ways, which reproduces gendered inequalities and define how female ex-combatants should behave. This book will be of great interest to scholars and practitioners working on gender, conflict, peace, security, and development.
