▼ The Constitution of Zambia, which is the supreme law of the Land, does recognize and guarantee the freedom of expression under Article 20. The constitution, under Article 20(i) provides that:-"Except with his own consent, no person shall be hindered on the enjoyment of his freedom of expression, that is to say, freedom to hold opinions without interference, freedom to impart and communicate ideas and information without interference, whether the communication be to the public generally or to any person or class of persons, and freedom from interference with his correspondence. "The preamble to the Zambian Constitution declares that Zambia will 'uphold the values of democracy, transparency, accountability and good governance.' Transparency, accountability and good governance are only possible where there is freedom of expression and the right of the public to know is assured. Freedom of expression includes not only freedom to hold opinions without interference, but also freedom to receive ideas and information, and to impart and communicate ideas and information without interference. "Freedom of expression is the life-blood of a democracy." It has been observed that "democratization is closely tied to freedom of expression, together with that of assembly and association."The value of free expression is that it assures the individual of self-fulfillment and it also serves as a means of attaining the truth. Free speech in addition, creates a method of security for the participation of the members of a society in political and social decision making and it further serves as a means of maintaining the balance between stability and change in a society.In a democratic society, such as Zambia, what is at stake is the fundamental principle of the people's right to know. Since development is tied to good governance, which includes the freedom of expression, government has a duty to ensure that this freedom is guaranteed.This study shall consist of four chapters. The first chapter will outlines what the freedom of expression is, its sources and its nature. The second chapter will look at the development of the freedom of expression in Zambia, hi the third chapter, a comparison will be drawn between laws that derogate or restrict the freedom of expression and those that enhance the exercise of this freedom. A general conclusion on whether there are enough laws in Zambia to secure and facilitate the exercise of the freedom of expression will make the fourth and final chapter of this work and recommendations will be made in the same chapter.

▼ This dissertation is a study of the relationship between the transformation of work and the ever-shifting meanings of freedom. I examine how low-wage workers, policymakers, and intellectuals in the United States thought about work as it was dramatically transformed and how work’s transformations provoked new debates over the meaning of freedom. Drawing on congressional, labor, and local records as well as rarely-used activist archives, I show how the meanings of freedom have long been rooted in the experience of its opposite—in the myriad forms of domination found in slavery and coverture laws, in debt peonage and the private tyrannies of newfound industrial factories, in low-wage service work and in poverty. Although I explore debates over the transformation of work in the wake of abolition and industrialization up through the early twentieth century, the bulk of the dissertation grapples with the vexed relationship between work and freedom that was illuminated in the pitched ideological battles of the late twentieth century—in debates over automation, immigration, welfare reform, and globalization. In contrast to the standard historiography, I contend that this quest for and articulation of freedom continued past late-nineteenth-century debates over the “labor question” and well into the postindustrial era. I stress that—with deindustrialization, the demise of the labor movement, and the stagnation of wages—the experiences and effects of poverty played a growing role in shaping the understanding of the value of work and the meanings of freedom and unfreedom. This shift in the meaning of freedom coincides with the transition from labor-scarce industrial capitalism to the labor surplus that defined late twentieth-century capitalism. I tell this story by uncovering the ideas of immigrants and refugees, welfare recipients and care workers, anarchists and union workers, offering an intellectual history “from below” of the makings of freedom amid the experience of racial, gender, and class domination.

▼ This thesis is an attempt to arrive at a more suitable justification for the institution of punishment. The problem arises because punishment discriminates between those who are considered offenders (one who has broken the law) and those considered non-offenders. Punishment also goes beyond distinguishing between the offender and the non-offender to inflict some pain or deprive some right to the one considered as an offender. Both the discrimination and the pain inflicted or right deprived to the offender require a justification to be acceptable. This is what has engaged many theorists in penology. There are various positions on the matter. One of the traditional positions like the desert-based retributivists, a variant of the Retributivists justification for punishment says the offender deserves to be punished because he or she has committed a crime and deserves a punishment that inflicts a pain which is equal to the crime that has been committed. The other traditional position is the utilitarian position which suggests that it is justifiable to punish the offender because such a punishment will preserve the society by maintaining social control. This thesis proposes a rational contractarian approach based on the ideas of the contractarian Jean Jacques Rousseau. This thesis suggests that a more plausible justification for punishment could be based on freedom as an essential characteristic of the human being. When a person is deprived of his or her freedom the person loses their humanity. The thesis further suggests that when a person lives according to rational nature, they will live according to the general will, which is always good and makes him free. However, a person who lives according to the will of another or according to one‟s passions, will live in subjugation to another person‟s will or passions against the general will and by so doing is not free. The actual will of a person rises against the general will (the person‟s real will), and this results in a split will. Such a split will is one which makes a person commit a crime and become an offender and unfree. This thesis proposes that punishment remedies this situation when the laws which are based on the general will are applied. The rational will of the person discerns the general will and from that makes the laws. When a person is punished based on the law, then, one punishes oneself and is thus subject neither to another nor to one‟s passions and so is free; there is no distinction between the sovereign who makes the law and the offender who has broken the law. Punishment is thus applied to make a person free since by going against the general will one has made oneself unfree. This thesis seeks to pick some positive attributes of the traditional positions, while avoiding some of their major criticisms and adding its own unique features like concentrating on human freedom as an essential basis to give a more suitable justification for punishment.

▼ My dissertation explores the nature, source and scope of the rights of religious institutions in the American legal tradition. I analyze the Supreme Court’s treatment not only of houses of worship, but of religious non-profits, schools, businesses, and student groups at public universities as well. I argue that the protection of religious institutions should concern all citizens because, to say nothing of the sacredness of freedom of conscience, religious institutions play an essential structural role in democratic societies. Religious institutions and other private, voluntary associations defend individuals against the tyranny of the state as well as tyranny of the majority, which Alexis de Tocqueville described as the “greatest danger” to the American republic.While the current Supreme Court justices have been unanimous in their opinion that houses of worship should possess at least a certain degree of autonomy, they have been much more divided concerning the scope of the rights of other religious organizations. For example, in the 2014 case of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, only a bare majority of the justices sustained a closely held corporation’s right to exercise religion. Justice Ginsburg, embracing an individualistic understanding of religion and rights in her dissenting opinion, argued that religion cannot be exercised by “artificial legal entities” but only by “natural persons.” In the 2010 case of Christian Legal Society v. Martinez, a five-justice majority effectively denied the expressive association rights of a small Christian student group at a public university by upholding a policy that required every registered student group to accept members, even leaders, who rejected the group’s core beliefs. My dissertation explores these and other cases, demonstrating how a proper understanding of group personhood led to a sound decision in the Hobby Lobby case, and how the Martinez opinion, on the other hand, was informed by an impoverished understanding of associations and community. I analyze inconsistencies in the Court’s jurisprudence concerning freedom of religion and freedom of association; I explore the (individualistic) philosophical assumptions animating the justices’ reasoning in some of these cases; and I articulate the principles that are necessary for the full protection of religious institutions.

▼ Stoic philosophers had to face the accusation of incoherence, self-contradiction and Paradoxes since ancient times. Plutarch in his Moralia writes against them; Cicero devotes a separate work on stoic paradoxes (Paradoxa stoicorum). Even in contemporary Literature there are still discussions on the possibility of such an incoherence and existence of paradoxes in the stoic theory. At first glance, stoic Cosmology gives the impression to both (paradoxically) accept a kind of Determinism, and at the same time it undoubtedly argues for the moral agent’s freedom of the Will. In pre-stoic or even other contemporary to Stoicism Philosophical Traditions, the definitions that these two terms/concepts are given, fairly accuse as incoherent any Theory that does not set them as “contraries”. Under these types of accusations, the stoic Cosmology and Theory of the Freedom of the Will is often to be included. This phenomenal self-contradiction inside the Principles of Stoicism becomes even more obvious in Epictetus, a philosopher of the Late Stoa. He is interested in practical ethics, thus the phenomenal contradiction gets more lucid. This would have augmented the criticism of the Stoic philosophy for incoherence, if Epictetus had not made his main philosophical aim/target (through the use of detailed ethical examples): the clarification of how an agent’s Will can be (prohairesis/προαίρεσις) Free inside a Universe ruled by Fate/Destiny (Πεπρωμένη); namely, a Universe merely Determined by Nature’s/God’s Will. Epictetus’ originality appears in the way he interrelates the concept of Freedom (ἐλευθερία) of the Will with the concept of Destiny and Determinism, in order to accomplish their simultaneous co-existence. This approach guards him against being easily accused for incoherence and self-contradiction. Through the unique way he understands and defines the Moral Agency, which is the agent’s internal state/condition/disposition (prohairesis) , he steers towards an integrated, accomplished, strong and coherent line of argument. This sturdy declaration is able to support the weight of the Consent to a Free Will (ἐλευθερία), and thus a certain kind Freedom (defined differently to the common conception of Freedom) of the moral agent. The excellence of this line of argument is that it can bear also the burden of the Consent to the phenomenally contrary concept of Determinism and Destiny (Πεπρωμένη). The elements used to the construction of this argument, which is stretched throughout the whole epictetean corpus (the Discourses and the Enchiridion/Manual as reported by Arrian, the Epictetus’ pupil) can be summarised to a few key concepts, which are: the things which are in our power (τά ἐφ' ἡμῖν) and the things which are not in our power (τά οὐκ ἐφ' ἡμῖν), the concept of Freedom (ἐλευθερία). These concepts work towards his philosophical targeting, because of the special definition he gives them. Axiomatically Epictetus states that in order for man to be free, it is necessary to be liberated from what the body forces him to do.… Advisors/Committee Members: Kupreeva, Inna.

▼ The current democratization developments and the need to adequately protect freedom of expression and media freedom in Africa have ushered in significant constitutional and legislative changes in the continent. As such, the adoption of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights constitutes significant machinery for entrenching the liberty of the individuals and a trend in the fight against human rights violations, but how effective are these changes, at the regional and local levels? This thesis critically analyses these developments with a view to finding new constitutional and legislative provisions that facilitate freedom of expression and media freedom within the context of Article 9 of the Africa Charter. While tracing the history of human rights in Africa, the thesis articulates the importance of freedom of expression and consensus democracy in Africa's political and cultural traditions, the early socio-political and ideological history, and its colonial past. Furthermore, the thesis highlights Africa's entrenched political and cultural traditions that promote human rights in general and freedom of expression in particular, although some African communitarian principles might be considered anachronistic and anti-democratic. This research is concerned about the impact of African governments' criminal penalties for defamatory statements and policies restricting the legitimate exercise of the right to freedom of expression. These coercive measures in light of the intolerant culture in African politics are often used to deprive citizens and the media their right to freedom of expression and valuable information which merited legitimate public concern. While we acknowledge that media activities and freedom of expression may be restricted in order to protect reputation, private life, public order, public health, public morality, public safety and national security, as enshrined in Article 27 (2) of the African Charter, the thesis is, however, concerned at the broad reach of several of the restrictive measures that have been enacted by arbitrary governments in which there is a very limited basis of public debate or competitive politics to buttress the freedom of the media. On the attainment of political independence, most of the African states adopted constitutions enshrining bills of rights justiciable by the courts. Despite these bills of rights, many of the African states have been guilty of gargantuan crimes and human rights violations. Despite the ratification of international and regional instruments dealing with the right to freedom of expression and information, African political leaders continue to misapply and misinterpret Article 9 (2) of the ACHPR because of its vagueness and continue to rely on criminal defamation statutes and the like to suppress critical and dissenting views. These broadly phrased prohibitions encouraged by the poor drafting of Article 9 (2) of the Charter, criminalise the legitimate exercise of freedom of expression and have a real “chilling effect” on debate on matters of public…

▼ The existence of freedom of_ expression in general and media freedom in particular is one of the most important indicators of the presence of democracy in a given country. Article 29 of the 1995 Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has laid the legal structure for the existence of freedom of _expression in Ethiopia. Accordingly, all the subsidiary laws advocate the flourishing of media freedom in Ethiopia. The legal framework for transforming state broadcasting into public service broadcasting (PSB) is encouraging. However, what is happening in practice is questionable. This thesis looks at the state of affairs of State Broadcasting in Ethiopia, using content analysis as a quantitative data-gathering instrument. Key informant interviews and legal documents have been used to collect data as a qualitative means. The study has selected 131 news items from 15 days of Ethiopian Radio Amharic prime time news bulletin. The data collected via content analysis has been supplemented by the data gathered through qualitative means. In this study, the practice of state broadcasting has been tested against the principles and practices of public service broadcasting. One of the findings of the study is that there is a very tight form of political control in the activities of journalists working in state broadcasting in general, and in Ethiopian Radio in particular. Government officials, predominantly from the Ministry of Information, directly and indirectly interfere in the editorial independence of journalists working on Ethiopian Radio. In order to protect state broadcasting from political interference, and to maintain editorial independence, the study suggests a new law should be drafted by the Ethiopian Parliament. This would facilitate a smooth transformation from state broadcasting to public service broadcasting. Article 29, sub Article 2 of the 1995 Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia explicitly supports the enactment of a law that promotes media independence in the country. Public service broadcasting must be guaranteed protection from political and/or commercial interference. This will be closer to reality when the appointment and accountability of PSB officials, their duties and responsibilities are clearly supported by a law according to the accepted principles of PSB. Public service broadcasting demands that editorial independence be respected. Moreover, the programming should serve the public interest and, in particular, should be balanced and impartial. At the very least, PSB should be editorially independent as an institution, and should serve the public fairly, helping to empower people so as to enable them make to decisions and to play a role towards the establishment and continuity of a democracy.

▼ Freedom from torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment is one of the few fundamental rights under international human rights law prohibited without any derogation. Violations against this right will inevitability destruct the core theme of human dignity. All dominant international and regional human rights law instruments such as UDHR, ICCPR, ACHPR, ACHR, ECHR and most importantly CAT, provide for the prohibition of violation against this freedom in strict terms. States are under international obligation to ensure the protection of this freedom in all circumstances. Ethiopia also, as a state party to most of these instruments, has a duty to realize the full enjoyment of this freedom under its territory. Oromia National Regional State is the largest region in Ethiopia that has the largest population size- population all deserving the enjoyment of this freedom. On the other hand, prisons are places alleged to be notorious sites where the right of individuals to freedom from torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment can be vastly violated. The present work, therefore, evaluated the protection of this freedom in some selected prisons of Oromia region in light of international human rights law. In doing so, the writer has analyzed various international, regional, and domestic legal instruments, and relevant cases dealing with the right. After defining the normative content of the right, the writer has assessed five prisons- Woliso, Shashemene, Ambo, Ziway, and Adama- and one center of training for prisoners- Dippo [Adama] Technical and Vocational Training Center. The data collection stage of the work has employed questioner, interview, and field observation as a method of gathering information from prisoners, prison warders, and prison authorities in which more than 200 respondents have been consulted. After conducting serious analysis, the writer has, eventually, reached to the following findings: Except for mild cases of Dippo center of training, the treatment of prisoners in all prisons covered under the study is poor; especially prisoners are suffering from impoverished conditions of accommodation, clothing and bedding, personal hygiene, medical care, sport and exercise, library and book, work, education and training, separation of categories, and lack of compliant procedures. There is grave violation against prisoners’ right to freedom from torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, except in Dippo center of training. There is no well organized training program on human rights and treatment of prisoners arranged for prison warders. There is no experience in which persons (prison warders or authorities) who violated this freedom had been prosecuted. The work has, finally, recommended plausible solutions to strengthen the protection of this freedom in these prisons. Advisors/Committee Members: Wondemagegn Tadesse (advisor).

▼ This dissertation interprets our current cultural educational practices of marginalizing civic education and the humanities and enacting charter school laws under “free-market” rationale as representing the erosion of the “public” in public schools in the name of a particular (i.e., neoliberal) conception of freedom, which neglects democratic goals and democratic control of the schools in favor of “market ideology.” Market ideology holds a neoliberal conception of freedom as a supreme value. By examining the neoliberal philosophy of freedom as presented by Friedrich A. Hayek in his work, The Constitution of Liberty, it is shown that within Hayek’s philosophical framework an ethical dilemma arises between democratic public goods and freedom (i.e., concern for the public good is seen as the greatest threat to liberty). And freedom most often wins. What results is economic oppression, and public spaces— such as schools, the media, and the environment—being eroded in the name of freedom. Therefore, making sense of “freedom” from a neoliberal standpoint contributes to the erosion of the “public” in public schools. Using the American pragmatism of primarily John Dewey, yet also G.H. Mead, Richard Rorty, and other more current pragmatic thinkers, this project seeks to re-construct the meaning of freedom so that it is consistent with democratic public goods, not antithetical to them. Using pragmatism as methodology means that this is not an inquiry into what “freedom” really is, but rather this dissertation is about the meaning-making experience of the significant symbol “freedom,” and the reconstruction of that experience for particular ethico-politico purposes. The reconstruction of “freedom” that I seek will not be easy because the neoliberal conception of freedom is part of our dominant, cultural discourse of freedom. This neoliberal notion of freedom logically fits within certain other central elements or philosophical tenets within what Charles Taylor calls the “modern Western identity.” These include core beliefs about 1) the ontological status of the individual, 2) the aim of an onto-epistemological project, and 3) the source of moral authority. Thus, I claim the dominance of the neoliberal discourse of freedom is partially due to the internal consistency of its specific meaning of freedom with these three central elements of the current, modern Western philosophical framework.

▼ Religion is an important determinant of collective action and can operate on multiple levels to influence social contention. Social scientists are paying increasing attention to the power of religious institutions to shape patterns of social life by fomenting both societal harmony and discord. This research focuses upon the latter. I explore the extent to which established theories of social conflict can be applied to explain patterns of conflict that are affiliated with religious identity. Chapter 1 introduces the research project and offers an outline of the dissertation. Chapter 2 assesses existing data and provides a detailed description the procedures used to collect the information employed in this research. This research utilizes primary and secondary data to examine religious conflict. Information on the sociopolitical environment is drawn from the 2008 International Religious Freedom Report dataset. Information regarding religious conflict events is collected and quantified in the Religious Conflict Events data. Additional country-level data is drawn from various reliable sources as well. Chapter 3 examines the structural determinants of religious repression using data coded from the 2008 International Religious Freedom Reports. Regression analysis suggests that the presence and scope of religious repression is associated with levels of general and religion specific measures of restriction and regulation. In Chapter 4, I analyze the macro-social influences on religious intergroup conflict (RIC). The chapter explores conflict events between non-state actors and tests for the impact of religious diversity, competition, and inequality on the extent of RIC events. The analysis demonstrates that religious conflict between groups is primarily driven by inequality and discrimination based on religious identity. Past research often explores the factors that cause and escalate religious conflicts of one type or another—rebellion, interstate war, civil war—however, few, if any, attempt to determine which type of conflict is likely to emerge based on the sociopolitical contexts in which the actors exist. Chapter 5 is an exploration of the influences predicting the likelihood of particular forms of religious conflict. Multinomial logistic regression demonstrates that the commonality of religious conflict manifestations is more or less likely in specific sociopolitical contexts. Finally, I synthesize the findings presented in previous chapters, discuss the research limitations, and propose potential directions for future research in Chapter 6.

▼ This Thesis examines the empirical validity of Sen’s development theory. In his seminal work “Development as Freedom” Sen postulated a theoretical conceptualization of development which constitutes a paradigm shift towards a fundamental understanding of the determinants and causal relationships that explain development. A deconstruction of Sen’s development theory leads to five core tenets on which his theoretical conceptualization rests. These five pillars are translated onto testable hypothesis which are incorporated into a 2nd order recursive Covariance Structure Model (CSM) that allows scientific examination through hypothesis testing. Sen’s hypothesized core tenets are as follows: 1. Development is seen as an integrated multi-dimensional construct. Evaluative assessments of development require a broadening of the informational basis, and cannot be viewed only on the basis of one sole indicator (i.e. income per capita or gross domestic product). 2. Instrumental freedoms (i.e institutional structure) directly enhance substantive freedoms (i.e societal capabilities). 3. Substantive freedoms are derived from five different types of instrumental freedoms. 4. The expansion of freedoms is the primary end of development. 5. The existence of interlinkages between different kinds of instrumental freedoms. A database comprising 5 measured variables in the economic dimension, 5 in the social dimension, and 6 in the political dimension, for 154 countries (for all levels of income) for the average period from 1990 - 1994 was put together. The resulting empirical covariance matrix from the data was subjected to scientific hypothesis testing against the CSM. The results provide strong empirical evidence in support of Sen's "development as freedom" theory. The clear implication is that Sen's paradigm shift in development theory calls for a total rethinking on the socio-economic front of policy making, and that, once and for all, scholars in long-term growth and in political economy, policy makers, and world financial institutions alike should seriously consider an in-depth review, if not totally abandon, the unidimensional dominant perspective that for far too long now has negatively impacted and slowed down economic growth around the world.

▼ In typical debates about freedom, compatibilists and incompatibilists dispute whether and how one can defuse the threat that a naturalistic worldview seems to pose for our conception of free will. Proponents of both sides standardly take it for granted that natural causality is a potential threat only for practical deliberation, and that no corresponding worries arise for our self-conception as theorizers who make up their mind about what to believe about the world. I show that Kant rejects this standard dichotomy between practice and theory. He holds that we must both act and believe 'under the idea of freedom': the standpoint of theoretical reasoning, the very source of the naturalistic worldview, must itself rely on the idea of freedom (or spontaneity) and thus cannot expose free will as an illusion. This line of thought, I argue, casts a refreshing new light on debates about what kind of freedom is worth having; and it provides an intriguing defense of our freedom from natural necessity.I argue that Kant's conception of theoretical freedom is as anti-naturalistic as his conception of practical freedom. This twofold anti-naturalism derives from Kant's conviction that both our practical and our epistemic orientation depend on representations that we cannot attribute to natural causes without losing our grip on their objective validity. These include, in the practical case, the categorical imperative and, in the theoretical case, the principle of sufficient reason, which states that natural events are causally necessitated. Since we do not derive these representations from sense perception, our commitment to them must, within a wholly naturalistic framework, be traced to the influence of contingent psychological processes in the vein of Hume's 'customs'. The concession that our attitudes are the product of such customs challenges our conviction that we form these attitudes on the basis of objective reasons.Against prevailing interpretations, I show that this line of thought plays an indispensable role in Kant's defense of free will against attacks from the theoretical standpoint. Kant's point is that someone occupying this standpoint must rely on her cognitive freedom from natural necessity: that is, she must take her beliefs about the natural causes of actions to be responsive to objective theoretical reasons, and here she cannot concede that the representation of causal necessity is merely the product of the workings of non-rational psychological processes. So the naturalistic perspective cannot expose freedom as an illusion. This provides the idea of free will with a robust invulnerability against an exclusively naturalistic worldview.
