AbstractThis paper argues that until 1680s, the Oirat political culture in the upper Irtysh area was based on the leadership of Khoshut clan rather than Jungars, as it is believed nowadays. Ablai Taiji of the Khoshut nobility, the founder of the Buddhist monastery Ablai-kit, inherited and pursued a policy of cooperation with Muscovy in an attempt to profit from its trade with China. Over the course of 1670s, under pressure from his brother, Ablai lost his domains and was defeated by his enemies. To construct this narrative, this paper engages in critical analysis of diverse archival sources and existing historiography.

Rupert's Land

Although there exists a respectable literature on political thought in Canada, relatively little of this work has been done by political theorists or philosophers. Much of the research has been carried out by historians, sociologists, or more recently by political scientists working with sociological conceptions such as “political culture.” But there is still a place in the study of Canadian political thought for one of the traditional tasks of political theory, the critical analysis of significant texts. This paper examines one such document, which deserves to be better known than it is, the “Declaration of the People of Rupert's Land and the North West,” of December 8, 1869. The text is presented in both English and French versions, the background of the document is briefly discussed, and its argument is analyzed at some length.

In much postcolonial theory, identity-politics is considered a means of subversion and possible emancipation. Consciously moving away from the political culture of the colonizer towards a rediscovery and reassertion of indigenous norms is seen as an important part of the larger postcolonial project of claiming political agency. This article problematizes this argument, and makes the case for a more critical analysis of the assertion of indigenous identity. The article turns to the work of one particular theorist—Ed van Hoven—and one particular case—Islamist politics in Senegal. Charting the development of politicized Islam since independence, it draws attention to how Senegalese governments have re-enacted the attitudes of the French colonial state.

Democracy is a political culture that seeks to promote majority participation in the process and art of governance, with the aim of developing a society; based on the principles of equality, freedom and social justice. This implies that democracy must operate within the confines of a State structure, which means there must be a State before we can talk about the enthronement of democratic culture and institutions. Thus, this paper examined the nature of African States and discovered that Africans are operating a dislocated state structure that is at far variant, with Universal Characteristics of a State. This is so because the contemporary African States are part of African colonial legacy and the failure of African peoples to evolve after 50 years of colonialism are responsible for this state of affairs. Hence, the paper defended the thesis that until Africans reform their institutional arrangement, to reflect the Universal Characteristics of a State Structure, democracy in Africa will not deepen, and development will keep eluding the continent and her people. This reform agenda which the paper is proposing is premised on traditional African values and spirituality. The paper employs the method of critical analysis.

The aim of the article is to comprehend the agrarian discourse of M. Hrushevsky’s revolutionary journalism. The methodological basis of the research is an interdisciplinary approach with particular emphasis on the structural-functional systematic analysis of historiographical facts and the method of critical analysis of documentary material. The scientific novelty of the article is an attempt at a special analysis of the conceptual and ideological principles and problem-thematic diversity of M. Hrushevsky’s journalism of the revolutionary era. Conclusions. The article has concluded that M. Hrushevsky focused most of his journalism on overcoming the atomization of leaders and members of the Ukrainian movement. Therefore, he was rapidly developing a new unifying ideology for Ukrainians, which had to meet the requirements of those times, largely breaking with the old cultural slogans. At the same time, the historian made a lot of efforts to build a network of Ukrainian media, realizing that without them it would not be possible to spread the ideology of the new Ukrainians outside Kyiv. In fact, in the columns of restored and newly created magazines, he shared with the public his own understanding of current challenges and offered solutions. M. Hrushevsky called for conscious and dynamic self-organization of the peasantry as a quantitatively dominant class, which in his view was the main socio-cultural basis for the development of Ukrainian statehood. His journalism performed ideological-educational, informational, and mobilizing functions. Due to the dialogically constructed discourse and focus on the problems of the people, the journalistic letters of the chairman of the Central Council had a considerable resonance, contributing to the growth of political culture in broad peasant circles.
