An Unconventional Challenge to Apartheid: The Ivorian Dialogue Diplomacy with South Africa, 1960-1978
This article focuses on the dialogue diplomacy that Ivorian President Félix Houphouët-Boigny initiated in the late 1960s to engage apartheid South Africa. Although contemporary observers and subsequent scholars (have) derided the scheme as an act of acquiescence and even betrayal, I argue that Ivory Coast\u27s dialogue diplomacy was neither accommodationist nor dependent on the prodding of neocolonial powers such as France. A Pan-Africanist extension of the home-grown neotraditional practice of Dialogue ivoirienne, the diplomatic initiative never got the backing of other African states. A close analysis of the Ivory Coast\u27s maneuvers in the context of an increasing radicalization of the anti-apartheid movement sheds a new light on the complexity of the transnational politics to defeat apartheid
The Reform Treaty: Its Impact on the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP)
The Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) was created in 1993 by the Maastricht Treaty1 as the second of the three pillars that shapes the European Union. The main coordinator of the CFSP is the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (High Representative CF/SP). Under the šEuropean Constitutionš the pillar structure was going to disappear, which meant that the role of the CFSP would be further incorporated into the functions of the rest of the Union. Moreover, the office of the High Representative was going to be merged with the post of the Commissioner for Foreign Affairs to create a âUnion Minister for Foreign Affairs.â However, the project of the šEuropean Constitutionš is programmed to be transformed into a šReform Treatyš. This paper will examine how the âReform Treatyâ will modify the functions of the CFSP, the position of High Representative CF/SP, and its role on the international stage.Reform treaty, CFSP, European Constitution, High Representative of the Union

The return of faith and reason to laïcité; Régis Debray and 'le fait religieux'
In 1985, Marcel Gauchet wrote of the âretour du religieuxâ as an end to the social role of religion and the beginning of its privatisation. However, far from an indication of the withering of religion on the vine of modernity, the return of a religious discourse was resurrected by the democratisation of the âcroyantâ in the mid-1980s. The âĂąge Ă©galitaireâ, coupled with the specificity of the âcroyantâ, created a platform on which to challenge the model of laĂŻcitĂ© in contemporary France. This discourse sought to re-appropriate reason from the logic of secular objectivity and postmodern self-reliance, and re-signify it within a Catholic theological language of belief and faith. The transmission of religious âknowledgeâ would also be seen to compete for intellectual equality with the forms and transmission of knowledge approved by laĂŻcitĂ© in the republican school. RĂ©gis Debray's report to the Ministry of Education in 2002 on the teaching of the âfait religieuxâ in French schools advances this debate by defending the introduction of the study of religion in school from the perspectives of theological rigour, the indivisibility of knowledge (the coexistence of âtĂ©moinâ and âsavantâ), and the inextricable links between faith and reason in their production of knowledge with a valid claim for public consumption
