1. INTRODUCTION
The Canadian Centre for Philosophy and Public Policy (CCPPP) at the
University of Ottawa is organizing a multi-year, inter-disciplinary research
project on "Citizenship, Identity and Democracy in the Multiethnic State",
under the direction of Prof. Will Kymlicka. As part of this project, the
CCPPP will distribute a quarterly newletter updating recent developments
in the field, of which this is the fourth issue. We hope that it will be
of interest to anyone working in the field, whether in academia, public
service, or various non-governmental organizations.
If you know anyone who would like to be added to the mailing list for
this newsletter, please contact us at cded@post.queensu.ca .
For further information about the research project, or the CCPPP more
generally, you can also reach us by phone (613 545-2182) and fax (613 545-6545).

The Brown Electronic Article Review Service (BEARS) provides short ( less than 1000 words) reviews of recently published articles in ethics and political philosophy. BEARS solicits reviews, but also encourages unsolicited submissions, and will publish the best, most useful ones. In addition to the web site there is also an e-mail subscription service, and the same reviews get delivered, though a bit later. To subscribe to this service send e-mail to Listserv@brownvm.brown.edu ; leave the subject line blank, and make the message say SUBSCRIBE BEARS-L Your Name List members will be sent reviews by e-mail, and so they will know when new reviews have appeared without having to check the Web page. Nothing will be sent out through this list except new reviews and occasional brief announcements or information about BEARS.
- The South African Constitutional Assembly Database Project
http://www.constitution.org.za
The South African election of 27 April 1994 produced not only the government
of National Unity, but also the historic Constitutional Assembly (CA),
which has the task of producing a new Constitution for South Africa. The
new constitution will be drawn up by the 490 elected representatives of
the people in the Constitutional Assembly. However, the Constitutional
Assembly has resolved to ensure that the constitution-making process is
people driven. It has made availabe a complete collection of draft constitutions,
interim constitutions, annual reports, party submissions, minutes and reports.
The objective of establishing this data base system is to ensure maximum
transparency and accessibility by all who have an interest to participate
in this process. It contains a complete collection of the CA's minutes
and reports. Once there, please read "How to use the Searchable Database"
for instructions on how to locate a particular minute or report on the
Web server.

- ROADMAP96
Listserv@lists.internic.net
or http://www.ua.edu/~crispen/roadmap.html
For those of you who are still learning their way around the Internet,
there is an excellent (and free!) workshop which you might find helpful.
ROADMAP96 is a 27-lesson, Internet training workshop designed to teach
new "Net travelers" how to travel around the rapidly expanding (and often-times
confusing) "Information Superhighway". The lessons will be sent to your
e-mail account over a two-week period. You can examine them as you receive
them, or save them and study them when you have more time. The original
ROADMAP workshop, which debuted in the fall of 1994, rapidly became the
most popular on-line Internet training workshop. ROADMAP96 is a completely
revised and updated version of the original ROADMAP workshop. Topics covered
include: E-mail; LISTSERVs, Majordomo, Listproc, and other e-mail distribution
systems; Usenet; FTP; Archie; Gopher; Veronica; Address Searches; the Web;
and many other topics. The new ROADMAP96 workshop starts every two weeks.
All you have to do to participate is subscribe to the ROADMAP96 e-mail
distribution list. Send an e-mail note to: Listserv@lists.internic.net
with the command: Subscribe roadmap96 yourfirstname yourlastname in the
body of your e-mail letter. Leave the subject line blank.
