Political leadership in revolutionary regimes

Article Abstract:

The determination of political leadership after a revolution takes place rests with the one aspect of the revolution's development: whether is was actually planned or resulted because of spontaneous rejection of current authority or political structures. In a planned revolution, it is more likely that revolutionary leaders will emerge as political heads of state because they have been building the institutions that their revolutions are designed to replace. In spontaneous revolutions, there are a variety of factors that determine who the population will accept. These can range from the appeal of ideology or personal charisma.

Creating a just world: leadership for the twenty-first century

Article Abstract:

Nine propositions, which scholar-activists who are working towards a just world should implement, are introduced. The propositions include working cooperatively, building and supporting new forms of leadership and the representation of all groups of people by their respective leaders. The identification of individual and collective goals, constructive listening by creative leaders and clarification of assumptions about humanity are also proposed. The effective communication of important information, successful social changes and acting with courage and integrity are included.

The Moldavian-Dnestr Republic: a geo-political game

Article Abstract:

The Russian and Romanian claims on Moldova and the 1992 Dnestr conflict have been examined. The Dnestr crisis gives support to the notion that Russia is behind the armed conflicts started by ethnic Russians in non-Russian republics. This was brought about after Russia had to revise its goals and settle for regional objectives with the collapse of the USSR. Moldova was seen as an advanced outpost during the Soviet Union-era. Russia's claim on Moldova is designed to keep Romania out of the latter's political affairs and to threaten Ukraine.
