Summary: This three-part presentation reviews the state-citizen relations, the economic and social contribution of NGOs and NGO programme impact and sustainability. In the first part, it is concluded that we have divergent representations of civil society accompanied by somewhat conflicting conceptions of the role of the state in the African passage to development and enabling governance. On the one hand we have the perception of society as producer of the spontaneous interests, demands and institutional resources of democratic change and the conception of the state as creator of the enabling environment for the free democratic activities of individuals on the other. The second part demonstrates NGOs/CSOs contribution of over 3.5 billion Birr worth of support to close to 17 million Ethiopians in need of emergency (10%) and development (90) assistance. It concludes that “one of the primary tasks of CSOs and NGOs is the delivery of civic education to inform people of their rights and responsibilities and that they need to evaluate the global trend in adult education with renewed emphasis on the political and moral dimension of education that accentuates highly developed human capital, support economic restructuring and greater international competitiveness through increased productivity. The third part reviews indigenous NGOs’ contribution in various part of Ethiopia – notably Ethiopian Aid’s programmes in Addis Ababa, North Shoa, and Gojjam.

Summary: La Asociación Latinoamericana de Ciencia Política invita a la comunidad de politólogos a enviar propuestas de ponencias o paneles para el V Congreso, que se realizará en la Universidad Argentina de la Empresa y la Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina. Celebrando el período de su Bicentenario, muchos países latinoamericanos están viviendo aspectos políticos contradictorios, algunos auspiciosos y otros preocupantes. Prácticamente en todos los países de América Latina la vida política ocurre en condiciones democráticas. Este proceso, iniciado hace ya tres décadas, ha reducido el papel del militarismo y la violencia política. Asimismo, hay positivos proyectos de integración económica y política sub-nacionales y regionales, los cuales resultan indispensables para afrontar el reto de los procesos de mundialización económica, tecnológica, comunicacional y cultural que suelen sintetizarse como globalización. Se recibirán propuestas hasta el 1 de diciembre de 2009. Mas informacion en http://www.fafich.ufmg.br/alacip/

Summary: This is an introduction to the global research project: Mythical Matrix and World Management in Aborigines from Paleo-Indian, Archaic and Contemporary Amazonia and the Ancient –Archaic Greeks: Epistemic bases for inter-ethnic dialogue between American aborigines World and the Western World . For the Author, The planet political government with dominance with a unique Ethno Episteme (1), it was and has been the highest aspiration of the successive empires and ethnic groups that have restrained the diversity of the World (2). War of the Worlds and its civilizations (*) has been a constant in universal history of empires, States, bands and hordes of all ages, and now it continues to run as a western global movement against collateral worlds and civilizations, some of which co-exist as semi-nomadic warriors and in shamanic war with western cosmos vision . The latter is a cross-cultural synthesis whose agencies are Major Transnational Corporations and State from all continents that drive westernization
