Burma/Myanmar new parliament 2011

Collected by: National Library of Australia

Archived since: Mar, 2011

Description:

In 2008 the military regime in Burma/Myanmar finalized and passed a new constitution with provisions for two houses of national parliament and regional assemblies of elected representatives. In 2010 it held elections that were widely condemned as neither free nor fair. The winner of the previous general election in 1990, the National League for Democracy, boycotted the poll. The overwhelming number of seats in all parliaments was won—amid allegations of massive fraud—by the military-established Union Solidarity and Development Party. In addition to the retired army officers holding seats for the USDP, a quarter of parliamentary seats have been occupied by representatives of the armed forces. The largest non-government parties holding seats are those representing ethnic minority electorates. The new parliaments at national and regional levels began sitting in 2011. This archive aims to document reporting on this re-emergence of parliamentary government in Burma/Myanmar after two decades of direct military rule.

Japan, Social movements after the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plants crisis, March 11, 2011

Collected by: National Library of Australia

Archived since: Dec, 2011

Description:

This collection aims to document the various social movements which began following the crisis of Fukushima Nuclear Power Plants in northern Japan on March 11, 2011. People in various areas of Japan started forming small groups, through social networks and other internet medium. Some groups are working on how to save children in most affected areas in North Japan against nuclear contamination; some other groups are seeking other types of energy source but nuclear power; a few groups also established systems locally where people can measure daily dosage of nuclear contamination; scholars also started their personal websites and blogs to share their knowledge, which seems hard through their official channels. 2011年3月11日の福島第一原発の爆発ののち、日本各地で、福島を中心に、もっとも被爆した地域の人々を支援し、また、日本全体の被爆についての情報を共有し、原発について考える様々な市民のグループや個人がウェブサイトを通じて行動を広めている。このコレクションはその動きを後世のために記録するために始まった。

Thailand Civil Society

Collected by: National Library of Australia

Archived since: Dec, 2011

Description:

A new government of the Phua Thai party was elected and sworn in to office in late August 2011. Most Thais welcome their new, first female PM, Yingluk. Challenges lie ahead of the “wonder woman” PM: reconciliation, high cost of living, and as if that was not enough, the unprecedented natural disaster that threatened to wipe out Bangkok came in October-November. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party put on their previous, and perhaps most comfortable costume, that of ”opposition” outfit. The social and political uncertainty remains. This collection consists of selected civil society blogs and sites (law concerning Lese Majeste, Human rights, Redshirt & Yellowshirt Supporters), political party sites, various government and institutional sites.

Thailand Elections 2011

Collected by: National Library of Australia

Archived since: Jun, 2011

Description:

This collection documents the Thailand General Election of 3 July 2011, at one of the most interesting times in modern Thai history. During a period of two and a half years, elections were repeatedly promised by the incumbent Abhisit government. During this time hundreds were killed and injured in political protests. Not all Thai citizens support the election, for example the People’s Alliance for Democracy has urged people to vote ‘No’. Vandalism of election campaign posters is seen throughout towns and provinces. The Thai army state that they won’t interfere with the democratic process as long as the elected government safeguards the royal institution. The two biggest and most powerful parties, Democrats and Phua Thai are delivering their best campaigns yet with their most charming candidates. The collection consists of selected political party websites, the Election Commission of Thailand, political blogs, Redshirt supporters & PAD websites.
