First and foremost, we declare that the process of compilation and adoption of the NGO Forum Declaration and Program of Action was neither transparent nor democratic and permeated with procedural violations. The draft documents were not submitted to the delegates in a timely manner; the rules of procedure were unclear and repeatedly changed; the discussion was heavily restricted.

about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum Emerging States and Unrepresented Peoples States like to pretend that they are "eternal," but states are really quite ephemeral. Old states fall apart and new ones come into being. In recent years, Czechoslovakia divided into two states, while Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union collapsed into many smaller states. What moves people to claim the right to form a new state, and what leads to a successful outcome (i.e. independence)? In a globalizing world, with decreasing national sovereignty and closer ties between people everywhere, what is the attraction of forming another independent state? Repressive governments, denying minority populations their rights, seem to be the main impetus for independence movements. But once independence is gained, the good life does not necessarily begin. Other minorities may, in turn, be disregarded or oppressed in the new emerging state. Analysis Links The Balkans East Timor ... Other Articles Analysis Pandora's Box: Ideals or Interest? (January 1999) Across the world, nation states find their unity tested by separatist claims and calls for secession. Le Monde Diplomatique argues that increasingly, nationalistic rhetoric hides short-term economic interests, a desire to keep the natural resources of a country in the hands of a small population.

Cultural Geography: Cultural Diversity A society's culture include its social institutions like its political structure, but as we have just learned it is much more than that. One country can be made up of people from many different cultures and one cultural group can exist in more than one country. Therefore political geographers have developed a vocabulary to help distinguish between a cultural group (called a nation) and a country (called a State). Brief Outline What is a "Nation"? What is a "State"? What is a "Nation-State"? Nations without States ... Nation-State Quiz What is a "Nation"? DEFINITION: a group of tightly knit people who speak a single language, have a common history, share the same cultural background, and who may united by common political institutions EXAMPLES: Han Chinese Japanese a tribe the British the Kurds Gypsies/Romani: the Sioux etc. top What is a "State"? DEFINITION: a politically organized territory that is administered by a sovereign government and is recognized by a significant portion of the international community A "State"" is approximately synonomous with a "country" NOT: Illinois, Chihuahua (Mexico) , Tamil Nadu (India), and Mato Grasso (Brasil) which are political units within countries
