Outlines how dependency theory exposes underlying characteristics that enable an autonomous political community to avoid the pitfalls of alienation & challenge international inequality. It is proposed that the benefits of this theory, eg, identifying how the ideology of sovereignty contrasts with the hierarchical division of labor on a global scale, outweigh the resulting paradox that a focus on sovereignty also legitimates the hierarchical order in the labor force. This theory emphasizes how the outdated ideology of the autonomy of political communities should be reconfigured to account for the postdevelopment perspective. 17 References. A. Durward

Though the concept of civil society (CS) has gained popularity with the increasing movement toward democracy around the world, it holds theoretical & historical ambiguities unrecognized in popular usage. While CS connotes a social life of stable rights & treatment of human beings as individuals in a legal, political, economic, & personal sense, the term is embedded in the logic of liberal capitalist society & the capitalist division of labor. CS requires at least minimal democratization, but also involves tensions endemic to capitalism & the processes of uneven development. 93 References. Adapted from the source document.

Melioidosis is a severe disease that can be difficult to diagnose because of its diverse clinical manifestations and a lack of adequate diagnostic capabilities for suspected cases. There is broad interest in improving detection and diagnosis of this disease not only in melioidosis-endemic regions but also outside these regions because melioidosis may be underreported and poses a potential bioterrorism challenge for public health authorities. Therefore, a workshop of academic, government, and private sector personnel from around the world was convened to discuss the current state of melioidosis diagnostics, diagnostic needs, and future directions.
