| | | Rediscovering an Old Relationship: Taiwan and Southeast Asia's Long, Shared History Contemporary impressions of Taiwan's relations with Southeast Asia tend to focus on flows of labor, capital, tourism, and marriage. Countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand carry the impression that they are the origins of cheap, sometimes easily exploitable, migrant labor for employers in Taiwan. Many people in Taiwan also see the former two countries as sources of brides for lower-income men. These same countries, along with Cambodia and, to a lesser degree, Malaysia, are locations where Taiwanese capital is invested in factories for low-cost labor, proximity to... | | Let Kenyan vote for the deputy Governor directly Let Kenyan vote for the deputy Governor directly There are plans in Parliament to introduce a bill called "The county Government Amendment Bill" especially because of the death of Nyeri Governor and what happened between governor Sonko and his deputy Mr Igathe.The bill is sponsored by senate Leader of majority Kipchumba Murkomen which states that such a vacancy may occur in the event of death,resignation or imprisonment of the sitting deputy Governor as well as in cases where the deputy takes over the Governor's office.Currently both the constitution and the county Government Act are... | | Let Airtel stop deducting one shilling from every 20/- airtime Let Airtel stop deducting one shilling from every 20/- airtime I bought a 20/- card so that l buy bundles to surf the net.

The so-called " war on drugs " started by the Mexican government in 2006 has ended the lives of at least 200,000 people and resulted in more than 28,000 disappearances.

In Mexico being a woman (all that are identified as such, and not based on a biologist notion) is... | | Cloud Nine, As Butler Likes it My aim in this article is to investigate the patriarchal forces over marginalized groups and to scrutinize Judith Butler's notion of performativity and parody in Cloud Nine (1979), a famous play by caryl Churchill, the contemporary British playwright.

In this sense, I aim to investigate how social construction of gender is related to blurred boundaries. In this sense, I focus on Judith Butler's idea of... | | |
