Extractions: 26-31 August, 1994 Mahatma Gandhi Institute, Moka, Mauritius THE CONCEPT OF MAURITIAN STUDIES The Mahatma Gandhi Institute was founded in 1970 by the Government of Mauritius in collaboration with the Indian Government. The institute aims to provide the academic and cultural basis for the promotion, consolidation, and dissemination of the Indian traditions and contribute to a developing Mauritian culture by creating an awareness of the richness of the Mauritian heritage and by providing a forum for a creative interaction between its diverse components. Besides this, the Mahatma Gandhi Institute develops teaching and research programmes in the focal areas of the institute, namely Indian Studies, Performing Arts, Fine Arts, Mauritian Studies, and Chinese Studies, thus contributing to an extension of the frontier of the Tertiary Education Institution Network. By U. Bissoondoyal and P. Dhayam The Mahatma Gandhi Institute today comprises the faculty of Indian Studies, faculty of Indian Music and Fine Arts, and the Centre of Mauritian and Other Area Studies. Since 1984, in an attempt to create an awareness of the richness of the world heritage of which Mauritius is the beneficiary, the Mahatma Gandhi Institute has been organizing conferences on events and subjects that have had an over-riding effect on Mauritian society. The topics of these conferences have been: Indian Labour Immigration (1984), Slavery in the South-West of the Indian Ocean (1985), L'Ile Maurice et La Rvolution Franaise (1989), Maintenance of Indian Languages and Culture Abroad (1994). Although research in Mauritian Studies had been under way for some time, an urgent need was felt to define its areas of action, establish it as an area of research, and eventually of teaching, and to network the research action of the institutions in Mauritius as well as abroad. The seminar on the 'Concept of Mauritian Studies' that was held August 26-31, 1994 was attended by scholars from the U.S.A., France, India, the Netherlands, Australia, La Runion, South Africa, Trinidad, and more than thirty Mauritian researchers. The seminar offered a platform for scholars to make their scientific contribution and give practical suggestions for the definition and organization of Mauritian Studies. At the logistical level a plea was made for more national and international cooperation between various scholars and institutions working on the Indian Ocean in general and Mauritius in particular. REGIONAL APPROACH Defining and developing Mauritian Studies as an Area Studies Programme poses a lot of problems because it is extremely difficult to limit the scope of the programme at a regional level since the origin of the population of Mauritius is very diverse. It is a creation of European hegemonic powers. The Dutch, French, and English imported African and Malagasy slaves as well as indentured labourers from India and China. Since the population of Mauritius thus has its origin on four continents it is not advisable to limit Mauritian Studies to a certain region. Professor Cowan from the University of California held an expos on the experience with the organization of American Studies in the United States, since the ancestors of the Americans are just as diverse as those of the Mauritians. He promoted the idea of structuring Mauritian Studies according to an thematic programme instead of a regional one. The same plea was made by Professor Haraksingh of the University of the West Indies. He spoke of the evolution of Caribbean Studies and brought forward a comparative reference for Mauritian Studies. In this light, he gave the example of the striking similarities in history and current composition of the Trinidadian and Mauritian population. Professor Kenneth McPherson, executive director of the Indian Ocean Centre for Peace Studies also said he was aware of the problems of confining Mauritian Studies in a narrow regional manner. Despite this, he pointed out the need to integrate Mauritius more into Indian Ocean Studies. This would not only eliminate the relatively isolated position of Mauritius, but also aid more regional cooperation between the islands in the South-West Indian Ocean. The study of Mauritius can also lead to a better understanding of the processes of globalization. Globalization and Mauritius was also the theme of the lecture of Professor Houbert of the University of Aberdeen. He sees the population of Mauritius as a visualization of globalization: Mauritius is universally acclaimed for its modern democratic state and its capitalistic mode of production. The modern state as part of the worldwide system of states and the global reach of capitalism are the two outstanding features of the modern world. Unlike the other countries surrounding the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is entirely a creation of the process of globalization. THEMES OF MAURITIAN STUDIES In different lectures scholars made clear that a regional organization of Mauritian Studies did not seem useful. A thematic approach appears more fruitful. Many themes were already discussed during the seminar. As there were papers on: languages, economy, history, literature, the press, development, slavery, legacy of slavery, administration, politics, education, health, immigration/migration, anthropology, geography, and related fields. In the concluding formal and informal sessions, the scholars agreed on the following two themes as guiding lines for developing an agenda for future research on Mauritius: Research into the colonial history of Mauritius, focusing not only on the immigration history of Indian and Chinese indentured labourers but also on the African past: the slave trade and slavery. Another focal point of future studies will be research into the dynamics of cultural/ethnic identities in the specific plural context of Mauritius. During the Seminar many local scholars presented their research on this theme. In this area of research it is particularly important to develop a research approach from a interdisciplinary level: historians, linguists, and anthropologists should work together to be able to grasp the meaning and the political and social implications of Mauritius as a multi-cultural society fully. Mr U. Bissoondoyal and Mr P. Dhayam are respectively the director and the administrative officer at the Mahatma Ghandi institute

Extractions: Globalization and the South West Indian Ocean: Four hundred years ago the Dutch under the command of Admiral Wybrandt van Warwijck landed on the island of Mauritius. He named the island Mauritius after Prince Maurits of Orange-Nassau. To commemorate this event, the International Institute for Asian Studies and the University of Mauritius organized a seminar on globalization in the South-West Indian Ocean. The event was funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs and given a historical continuity by the visit of the present-day Prince Maurits and Princess Marilène of Orange-Nassau-Van Vollenhoven. A series of socio-cultural events to mark the celebrations were the fruits of a joint effort by the governments of the Netherlands and Mauritius. The international seminar was multidisciplinary in approach, participants coming from The Netherlands, Britain, France, Italy, India, South Africa, Madagascar, Mauritius, Réunion and other countries. In his opening speech Prof. Mohamedbha, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Mauritius, welcomed the guests of honour, Prince Maurice and Princess Marilène. Prof. Stokhof, Director of the IIAS, elaborated on the scope of the theme of the Seminar by emphasizing the 'globalization process' of academic exchange. The inaugural address was delivered by Drs P Moree (Royal Dutch Library, The Hague). His specially written book A Concise History of Dutch in Mauritius (1598-1710) was launched, as well as two books on Dodology published by the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences of Mauritius.

Extractions: Berkeley Anthropologists Have Their Say Anthropologist Elizabeth Colson doesn't often think of the past. If asked, however, she easily recalls the year 1946, when she first traveled to Africa. Taking field supplies from Johannesburg, she and two other researchers journeyed for three days to Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia). There she met a fellow anthropologist, J. Desmond Clark. "Desmond somehow knew we were coming, and he met our train," she says. Colson, an American from Minnesota, and Clark, a Londoner, crossed paths that year when she became senior research officer and then director of the Rhodes- Livingstone Institute. He was curator of the David Livingstone Memorial Museum. "With Desmond, of course, prehistory was everything," Colson says, "although as curator of the museum he had to be interested in contemporary things, too." Desmond Clark's death in February 2002 ended this friendship of more than half a century. But the stories survive. Clark, Colson, and three other anthropologists recently documented their experiences through oral histories. Available as manuscripts and on the Web, the interviews complement Bancroft's other holdings in anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics. As told in the oral histories, Colson and Clark each spent substantial time in Africa, directing institutions and lighting up the developing field of anthropology with their work. While he pursued prehistory, she explored social-cultural issues among the Plateau and Gwembe Tonga. Both joined the Berkeley faculty in the 1960s.

Extractions: COMESA History 1. At the first and second conferences of independent African States, held in Accra, Ghana, in April 1958 and in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in June 1960, respectively, economic problems to be faced by independent Africa were discussed. There was a consensus that the smallness and fragmentation of post-colonial African national markets would constitute a major obstacle to the diversification of economic activity, away from a concentration on production of a narrow range of primary exports, to the creation of modern and internationally competitive enterprises, which would satisfy domestic needs and meet export requirements. It was, therefore, agreed that African countries which had gained political independence, should promote economic co-operation among themselves. 2. Two options were advocated for the implementation of the integration strategy in Africa: a) the Pan-African, all-embracing regional approach, which envisaged the immediate creation of a regional continental economic arrangement; and b) the geographically narrower approach that would have its roots at the sub-regional levels and build on sub-regional co-operation arrangements to achieve geographically wider forms of co-operation arrangements. 1. The origins of the COMESA can be traced as far back as the mid-sixties. Before the Lagos Plan of Action and the Final Act of Lagos were adopted, the countries of Eastern and Southern Africa had already initiated the process towards creating an Eastern and Southern African co-operation arrangement.

Extractions: HISTORY OF MEMBERSHIP The continent's position as a crossroads between the Americas, Europe and Asia also lays it open to transnational crimes such as traffic in weapons, illicit drug trafficking, illegal immigration, traffic in stolen motor vehicles and fraud, etc., which can only be stopped by international co-operation. Seeking and locating the criminals involved poses problems relating to information exchange, international identification and arrests with a view to extradition. This is why Interpol (in accordance with Article 2 (1) of its Constitution) ensures the closest possible co-operation between the "criminal police authorities" of all member countries, including those in Africa. Crime is not associated with a particular region and is certainly not a problem for Africa alone. Ever since it was established, the International Criminal Police Organization - Interpol has been seen by countries all over the world as an institution whose principles and objectives correspond to universal aspirations for human rights, public safety and the fight against ordinary law crime. Joining Interpol was therefore one of the first steps taken by various African leaders once their countries obtained independence.
