TL;DR: The Iraq-Iran war which has been going on for nearly six years will perhaps go down in history as one of the costliest conflicts in this century as discussed by the authors and the economic cost of the conflict which may have already exceeded $500 billion is also staggering in terms of its impact on and implications for the economies of the two nations.
Abstract: The Iraq-Iran war which has been going on for nearly six years will perhaps go down in history as one of the costliest conflicts in this century. It is estimated that the first five years of the fighting may have resulted in a toll of war dead approaching one million.' The economic cost of the conflict which may have already exceeded $500 billion is also staggering in terms of its impact on and implications for the economies of the two nations. Following a brief survey of economic conditions prior to the war in both countries, this essay will attempt to deal with three separate but interrelated issues: first, the effects of the war on the Iraqi and Iranian economies, second, the impact of the war on, and the role of Saudi Arabia in, the changing relative positions of Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia itself in the international oil market and third, an assessment of the prospects for economic development in the post-war period.

TL;DR: The desire to be rid of those who don't fit in and the desire to make those with needed skills fit in explains much of the apparent inconsistency and vacillation of governments on both issues.
Abstract: The right of individuals to leave their country and conversely their right not to be forced to leave are generally recognized tenets of international law. In developing countries 2 patterns of assault on these rights are apparent. 1 pattern concerns political and ethnic pressures associated with the pain and tribulations of nation building in new societies which tends to produce refugees. The 2nd pattern is an effort to block the brain drain of skilled personnel to more developed countries. The desire to be rid of those who dont fit in and the desire to make those with needed skills fit in explains much of the apparent inconsistency and vacillation of governments on both issues. States with no tradition of statehood often turn to authoritarian models to create cohesion. Where ruling elites attempt to strengthen national unity they tend to turn on groups whose language ethnicity religion culture political beliefs or socioeconomic status do not fit in. The 2nd pattern of constraint on Third World emigration is a reaction to the threatened loss of manpower. While Sudan lost only 1% of its labor force to emigration this included 70% of its medical graduates and such high percentages of high level clerical personnel as to become an obstacle to efficient government. It is not the least developed countries that suffer most from the brain drain; they have less competition for available openings and adjustment to developed country life is more difficult for their citizens. Many "drainees" feel political pressure to leave although the decisive motivation appears to concern working conditions and employment. the "drained" countries not interested so much in imposing restrictions on themselves as in gaining recongnition of the responsibility of the industrialized nations to developing ones; they want compensation for losses incurred.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterise the nature of the Israeli occupation of South Lebanon, and show the ways in which it afflicted, and continues to afflict, the lives of ordinary Lebanese and Palestinians.
Abstract: This article sets out to characterise the nature of the Israeli occupation of South Lebanon, and to show the ways in which it afflicted, and continues to afflict, the lives of ordinary Lebanese and Palestinians. For it must be borne in mind that Israel still maintains up to a thousand 'military advisers' to direct and support Antoine Lahad's South Lebanon Army (SLA) in the 12 kilometre buffer zone. It is not within the scope of this article to investigate why the Israelis invaded Lebanon in 1982, or what they thought they were achieving during the occupation that followed. An analysis of Zionist plans for Lebanon is a treatise in itself-Ben-Gurion's strategy is by no means the earliest.3 Nor was the 1982 invasion Israel's first military incursion into Lebanon. The motives and military-political logistics of the Israeli invasion have been adequately covered elsewhere.4

TL;DR: The Free South Africa Movement (FSM) was formed at the end of 1984 to coordinate the efforts of political, labour, church and academic organisations and to spearhead the nationwide campaign as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: This article sets out to describe and analyse the causes and effects of the phenomenal growth in the South African divestment campaign and the increasing calls for sanctions in the United States and other parts of the world. The campaign in the US for the divestment of holdings by universities, churches, cities and States in companies with South African interests and for the ending of bank loans is by no means new. Church and other groups have been taking shareholder action at company AGMs for the past ten years, without any great success; though there has been a regular trickle of cities and States passing legislation to prohibit or at least to limit the investment of public funds in companies with South African interests, starting with the city of Cotati, California, in 1978. The first State action was taken by Nebraska in 1980, followed by Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Michigan in 1982. The campaign, however, took on a completely new complexion at the end of 1984; it began to attract nationwide support and to have more marked success. Timothy Smith, a long-time campaigner and Executive Director of the Inter-Faith Center on Corporate Responsibility, commented, 'A number of banks have turned the corner on South Africa'. 1 Washington Notes on Africa (Winter/Spring 1985) lists a number of factors which led to the formation of the Free South Africa Movement, which was established at the end of 1984 to coordinate the efforts of political, labour, church and academic organisations and to spearhead the nationwide campaign: Events in South Africa in 1984: the widespread unrest and police violence leading to over 200 deaths and 4000 arrests, centred around the imposition of the new Constitution; The award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Bishop Desmond Tutu, which focused worldwide attention on apartheid; The US Presidential candidacy of Jesse Jackson, which brought the issue of South Africa into the arena of national political debate; The re-election of President Reagan, which brought the prospect of four more years of 'constructive engagement';
