An assessment of Georgia's National Integrity System : the GNISA project

Georgia’s ‘National Integrity Systems’ are the institutions, laws, procedures, practices and attitudes that encourage and support integrity in the exercise of power in modern Georgian society. Integrity systems function to ensure that power is exercised in a manner that is true to the values, purposes and duties for which that power is entrusted to, or held by, institutions and individual office-holders. This report presents the results of the Open Society Institute / Open Society – Georgia Foundation funded project Georgian National Integrity Systems Assessment (GNISA), conducted in 2005–2006 by Caucasus Institute for Peace, Democracy and Development, Transparency International Georgia, Georgian Young Lawyers Association, in close cooperation with Griffith University Institute for Ethics, Governance and Law (Australia), and Tiri Group (UK), into how different elements of integrity systems interact, which combinations of institutions and reforms make for a strong integrity system, and how Georgia’s integrity systems should evolve to ensure coherence, not chaos in the way public integrity is maintained. Nevertheless all participants of the research may not share some conclusions given in the GNISA report.

We Are All Georgians : The Neoconservative Narrative on the Russia-Georgia War

In this thesis I examine the U.S. foreign policy discussion that followed the war between Russia and Georgia in August 2008. In the politically charged setting that preceded the presidential elections, the subject of the debate was not only Washington's response to the crisis in the Caucasus but, more generally, the direction of U.S. foreign policy after the presidency of George W. Bush. As of November 2010, the reasons for and consequences of the Russia-Georgia war continue to be contested. My thesis demonstrates that there were already a number of different stories about the conflict immediately after the outbreak of hostilities. I want to argue that among these stories one can discern a “neoconservative narrative” that described the war as a confrontation between the East and the West and considered it as a test for Washington’s global leadership. I draw on the theory of securitization, particularly on a framework introduced by Holger Stritzel. Accordingly, I consider statements about the conflict as “threat texts” and analyze these based on the existing discursive context, the performative force of the threat texts and the positional power of the actors presenting them. My thesis suggests that a notion of narrativity can complement Stritzel’s securitization framework and take it further. Threat texts are established as narratives by attaching causal connections, meaning and actorship to the discourse. By focusing on this process I want to shed light on the relationship between the text and the context, capture the time dimension of a speech act articulation and help to explain how some interpretations of the conflict are privileged and others marginalized. I develop the theoretical discussion through an empirical analysis of the neoconservative narrative. Drawing on Stritzel’s framework, I argue that the internal logic of the narrative which was presented as self-evident can be analyzed in its historicity. Asking what was perceived to be at stake in the conflict, how the narrative was formed and what purposes it served also reveals the possibility for alternative explanations. My main source material consists of transcripts of think tank seminars organized in Washington, D.C. in August 2008. In addition, I resort to the foreign policy discussion in the mainstream media.

Determinación del período crítico de competencia de malezas en el cultivo del maní (Arachis hypogaea L.) variedad Georgia runner

El presente trabajo se planificó con la finalidad de determinar el periodo crítico de competencia de malezas sobre el rendimiento del cultivo del maní (Arachis hypogaea L.) variedad Georgia Runner, para lo cual se incluyeron tratamientos enmalezados y limpios (hasta los 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 y 100 días después de la siembra) bajo las condiciones ecológicas de la finca La Concepción, Nagarote León. El ensayo se estableció en la siembra de postrera de 1999, utilizándose un diseño de bloques completos al azar con cuatro repeticiones. El resultado estadístico realizado a la variable de rendimiento mostró diferencias significativas entre los tratamientos evaluados, alcanzándose el mayor rendimiento con el tratamientos 12 (limpio hasta los 100 dds) con 2 281.3 kg/ha y sin diferencias significativas con el tratamiento 10 (limpio hasta los 60 dds) con 2 262.5 kg/ha y el tratamiento 11 (limpio hasta los 75 dds) con 2 275 kg/ha y los rendimientos más bajos se alcanzaron en el T6 (enmalezado hasta los lOO dds) con 562.5 kg/ha y el tratamiento 7 (limpio hasta los 15 días) con 600 kg/ha. Así mismo, se llegó a la conclusión de que el período crítico de competencia de maleza para el cultivo del maní se inicia a partir de los 15 y termina hasta los 60 días después de la siembra.

Determinación del período crítico de control de malezas en el cultivo de maní (Arachis hypogaea L.) variedad Georgia runner

El presente trabajo se estableció con el propósito de determinar el período crítico de control de malezas en el cultivo del maní (Arachis hypogaea L.) variedad Georgia Runner. Se incluyeron tratamientos enmalezados y limpios (hasta los 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 y 100 días después de la siembra) bajo las condiciones ecológicas de la finca La Concepción, Nagarote León. El ensayo se estableció en postrera de 1999, utilizándose un diseño de bloques completos al azar con cuatro repeticiones. El rendimiento de maní mostró diferencias significativas entre tratamientos. En los tratamientos enmalezados hasta, el mayor rendimiento se obtuvó cuando el cultivo se mantuvo enmalezado hasta los 15 días después de la siembra (dds). En los períodos de control de malezas, los mayores rendimientos se obtuvieron cuando las malezas se controlaron hasta los 60, 75 y 100 dds. El período crítico de control de malezas en el cultivo de maní se inicia a partir de los 15 días después de la siembra (dds) y termina hasta los 60 dds.
