A wide range of projects was undertaken in diverse areas, including science and technology, the environment, multiculturalism, the arts, sports, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and Australian Studies. Strategies were tailored to particular countries and regions, based on consultation with the relevant geographical area of the Department, Australian missions abroad, and a large number of government and non-government organisations. These included Visions for the Future-Australia, Clean-up the World, the Australia Council, Austrade, Asialink, and Musica Viva.

One-party rule came to an end in 1995 with the firstdemocratic elections held in the country since the 1970s. Zanzibar'ssemi-autonomous status and popular opposition have led to two contentiouselections since 1995, which the ruling party won despite internationalobservers' claims of voting irregularities.

Administrative Divisions of Côte d'Ivoire, 1988 Unavailable OBSERVERS OF AFRICA have often characterized Côte d'Ivoire as different from the rest of Africa. Borrowing the metaphor of Félix Houphouët-Boigny, president of Côte d'Ivoire, they have described it as an oasis of political stability and economic prosperityin short, the "Ivoirian miracle." Indeed, if judged on the basis of political stability and economic performance during its first twenty years of independence, Côte d'Ivoire does appear unique: it has had only one president and no coups since gaining independence, and between 1960 and 1979 the gross national product ( GNP In the early precolonial period, the dense forests covering the southern half of the area that became Côte d'Ivoire created barriers to large-scale sociopolitical organizations. In the savanna region to the north, dissimilar populations had neither the incentive nor the strength to overcome ethnic differences and forge a larger state. Prior to the eighteenth century, polities consisted of villages or clusters of villages whose contacts with the larger world were filtered through long-distance traders. Europeanin this case Frenchinterest in the area remained desultory until late in the nineteenth century. Following the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, for example, the French ministry responsible for colonies offered to exchange Côte d'Ivoire with the British for the Gambia, which bisected the French colony of Senegal. The British refused, and France officially abandoned the territory. By the late 1880s, however, the scramble for colonies gripped both France and Britain. In the

The economy is heavily dependent on agriculture, which accounts for 57% of GDP, provides 85% of exports, and employs 90% of the work force. Topography and climatic conditions, however, limit cultivated crops to only 4% of the land area. Industry accounts for 17% of GDP and is mainly limited to processing agricultural products and light consumer goods. The economic recovery program announced in mid-1986 has generated notable increases in agricultural production and financial support for the program by bilateral donors. The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and bilateral donors have provided funds to rehabilitate Tanzania's deteriorated economic infrastructure. Growth in 1991-97 has featured a pickup in industrial production and a substantial increase in output of minerals, led by gold. Natural gas exploration in the Rufiji Delta looks promising and production could start by 2002. Recent banking reforms have helped increase private sector growth and investment.

Extractions: This course introduces Japanese culture from the traditional to the contemporary, beginning with the classic romance The Tale of Genji and ending with the recent dystopian animated fantasy Akira. We will cover three important periods of Japanese history: Heian, Tokugawa, and contemporary from the point of view of literature, art and, (in the contemporary period) film. By using culture as a focus, we will explore such enduring Japanese values as the samurai ethic, the culture of play, aestheticism, and materialism. We will also try to answer some of the questions presented by the enigma of Japanese power today: Why is Japan the only non-Western power to have successfully modernized? What does it mean to be a "modern Japanese?" And finally, what is Japan's role in today's world? Texts:
