This paper discusses representation rights of the Roma in Hungary. Following a review of normative literature establishing the value of a group-specific rights paradigm, initial efforts to extend equal representation to the Roma are briefly outlined, addressing the positive and negative aspects first of the Minorities Law of 1993 and then of the minority self-governance (MSG) system that it created. Alternative institutions for securing Roma rights are discussed (e.g. heads of state and government, non-government organisations (NGOs), the judicial system, the parliament. the need to reform the Roma MSGs in Hungary in order to provide adequate representational rights for this marginalized ethnic minority, is then addressed. Here, the importance of embracing group-specific rights in the policies for Roma representation is emphasized. (Ethnopolitics)

The creation of a colonial police force in Tanganyika after the First World War and its elaboration over the next four decades is described, as are its role in the attempted assertion of urban order and its relations with the Dar es Salaam public. The force was a central component in the colonial state's efforts to assert control over the urban arena. Lacking both resources and legitimacy it was only partially effective in this regard, with intermittent enforcement of colonial legislation being the norm. More concerted efforts to supervise the urban African population at a time of rapid urban growth in the post-Second World War period led to a deterioration in – already poor – police-public relations, which served further to undermine colonial authority.

In general, coexisting accipiters show low dietary overlap and clear morphological separation. However, most studies have been conducted in the Northern Hemisphere. In Australia, the two accipitrid goshawks, the grey goshawk, Accipiter novaehollandiae, and brown goshawk, A. fasciatus, are relatively similar in size. The diets of the two goshawks were studied in an area of sympatry, at Abergowrie State Forest, Queensland, in the wet tropics, during the breeding season. The diet of the brown goshawk contained more birds than did that of the grey goshawk, which preyed more on medium-sized mammals and reptiles. The proportion of insects in the diet was similar in the two species. Grey goshawks preferred terrestrial and arboreal prey to the brown goshawks' more aerial prey. The grey goshawk took heavier prey on average and had a slightly more diverse diet. Nevertheless, at 93%, dietary overlap between the goshawks was high. Such high overlap may be possible because of the high diversity and abundance of prey in the tropics, easing interspecific competition.
