Excerpt from Proceedings, 1919, Vol. 1: Report of the Council for the Year Ending 3rd March, 1919; Financial Statements for 1918; Building Fund; Proceedings of the Council (Dec. 1918-Jan/1919) The Council of the Institute in presenting this Report cannot refrain from expressing their thankfulness on the victory of the Allied Arms and the prospect of peace. Before, however, dealing with the work of the Institute during the past year, the Council desire to place on record a brief resume of those activities connected with the war in which the Insti tute, its Fellows and Associates, and British chemists generally have taken a part. In September, 1914, the question of securing adequate supplies of chemical reagents, laboratory glass and porcelain, and filter paper claimed the early attention of the Institute and the Society of Public Analysts. Joint meetings of the Councils of the two bodies were held to consider the matter. A Committee from the two bodies was formed to deal with the question of reagents, and a List of Reagents for Analytical Purposes, with notes indicating the standard of purity regarded as necessary for analytical work, was produced and circu lated to manufacturers, some of whom undertook to provide reagents complying with the tests prescribed. In October, I914, the Council of the Institute appointed a Glass Research Committee, the primary object of which was to provide formulas for the manufacture of laboratory ware. Their work was subsequently extended to embrace many other varieties of glass and has continued until practically the date of the armistice. The valuable results attained arefamiliar to the Members of the Institute from the reports which have appeared in the Proceedings from time to time.

"The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is a culmination of a centuries-long struggle by indigenous peoples for justice. It is an important new addition to UN human rights instruments in that it promotes equality for the world's indigenous peoples and recognizes their collective rights."--Back cover.

The economic activity that drives growth in developing countries is heavily concentrated in cities. Catchphrases such as “metropolitan areas are the engines that pull the national economy” turn out to be fairly accurate. But the same advantages of metropolitan areas that draw investment also draw migrants who need jobs and housing, lead to demands for better infrastructure and social services, and result in increased congestion, environmental harm, and social problems. The challenges for metropolitan public finance are to capture a share of the economic growth to adequately finance new and growing expenditures and to organize governance so that services can be delivered in a cost-effective way, giving the local population a voice in fiscal decision making. At the same time, care must be taken to avoid overregulation and overtaxation, which will hamper the now quite mobile economic engine of private investment and entrepreneurial initiative. Metropolitan planning has become a reality in most large urban areas, even though the planning agencies are often ineffective in moving things forward and in linking their plans with the fiscal and financial realities of metropolitan government. A growing number of success stories in metropolitan finance and management, together with accumulated experience and proper efforts and support, could be extended to a broader array of forward-looking programs to address the growing public service needs of metropolitan-area populations. Nevertheless, sweeping metropolitan-area fiscal reforms have been few and far between; the urban policy reform agenda is still a long one; and there is a reasonable prospect that closing the gaps between what we know how to do and what is actually being done will continue to be difficult and slow. This book identifies the most important issues in metropolitan governance and finance in developing countries, describes the practice, explores the gap between practice and what theory suggests should be done, and lays out the reform paths that might be considered. Part of the solution will rest in rethinking expenditure assignments and instruments of finance. The “right” approach also will depend on the flexibility of political leaders to relinquish some control in order to find a better solution to the metropolitan finance problem.

Looking at decolonization in the conditional tense, this volume teases out the complex and uncertain ends of British and French empire in Africa during the period of ‘late colonial shift’ after 1945. Rather than view decolonization as an inevitable process, the contributors together explore the crucial historical moments in which change was negotiated, compromises were made, and debates were staged. Three core themes guide the analysis: development, contingency and entanglement. The chapters consider the ways in which decolonization was governed and moderated by concerns about development and profit. A complementary focus on contingency allows deeper consideration of how colonial powers planned for ‘colonial futures’, and how divergent voices greeted the end of empire. Thinking about entanglements likewise stresses both the connections that existed between the British and French empires in Africa, and those that endured beyond the formal transfer of power.
