Item Proceedings of international symposium on islands and oceans : January 22 & 23, 2009(Ocean Policy Research Foundation , 2009-01) Ocean Policy Research Foundation; އޯޝަން ޕޮލިސީ ރިސާރޗް ފައުންޑޭޝަންBased on its philosophy of ‘coexistence between mankind and the ocean,’ the Ocean Policy Research Foundation (OPRF) seeks to address a broad range of ocean problems from a global and comprehensive perspective. We foster interdisciplinary cooperation and build networks among social and natural scientists, work to achieve a balance between ocean use and the need to conserve the marine environment, and carry out a variety of research on the new order taking shape on the oceans. Since 2005, one focus of OPRF’s activities has been to address the problems of the maintenance and revitalisation of Okinotorishima, the southernmost island of the Japanese archipelago, from a technical as well as a legal viewpoint. One of the lessons learned from the process is that we should not treat the issue solely as a domestic one, but invite the consideration of the Pacific Island states, Australia, New Zealand, and international society at large and carry out joint research in the search for solutions. As a result, on January 22-23, 2009, OPRF, with the cooperation of ANCORS and SOPAC, held the ‘International Symposium on Islands and Oceans’ in Tokyo, so as to share and discuss issues related to conservation, revitalisation, and management of islands and surrounding ocean areas. Eighteen experts, both national and international, from various social and natural scientific disciplines gathered and made informative presentations on their current research in order to exchange knowledge and opinions on the development of ocean governance. We are happy to have published the proceedings from the ‘International Symposium on Islands and Oceans.’ They include the collection of all the papers presented by the invited experts as well as general information on the symposium. Each paper has insightful perspectives and unique arguments and is written in a way that enables interdisciplinary discussion, which, we believe, leads to integrated and sustainable approaches for ocean governance. It is OPRF’s pleasure to announce that these proceedings will serve as the basis for our future research on islands and oceans and demonstrate the beginning of our future international collaboration.Item Development effectiveness country brief : Maldives(Asian Development Bank , 2007-10) Asian Development Bank; އޭޝިއަން ޑެވެލޮޕްމަންޓް ބޭންކްItem ޢުމްރާގެ އަޅުކަން އަދާކުރާނޭގޮތް - ފިޔަވަޅަކަށްފަހު ފިޔަވަޅެއް(އިންޓަރނެޓް އަރކައިވް, 2008-08-25) އާދަމް ނިޝާން; Nishan, AdamItem The public service of the Republic of Maldives - a profile : current good practices and new developments in public service management(Commonwealth Secretariat, London, 2006) Munawwar Alam (Editor); Mohammad Jasimuddin (Editor)Item Note on the Maldives(European Parliament ޔޫރޮޕިއަން ޕާރލިއަމެންޓް, 2006-05-24) Nuttin, Xavier; ޒޭވިއަރ ނަޓިން; Vuylsteke، Virginie; ވަރޖިނީ ވުޔިލްސްޓޭކް; Schulz، Stefan; ސްޓީފަން ޝަލްޒްThis note outlines the political and economic situation in the Maldives, recent event and issues - with special emphasis on constitutional reforms and recent social unrest - as well as the EU-Maldives relationsItem ވިސްނާށޭ ޤައުމު : ލުއި ފޮތް(Ministry of Legal Reform, Information and Arts މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް ލީގަލް ރީފޯމް، އިންފޯމޭޝަން އެންޑް އާރޓްސް, 2008-05-21)Item އިޤްތިޞާދާއި ވިޔަފާރީގެ ނޫސްވެރިކަން(މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް ލީގަލްރިފޯމް، އިންފޮމޭޝަންސް އެންޑް އާރޓްސް, 2008-02) މެލް ގުނަސޭކަރ; Gunasekara, MelItem Strategic economic plan : Republic of Maldives(Ministry of Planning and National Development, 2005) Ministry of Planning and National Development; މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް ޕްލޭނިންގް އެންޑް ނޭޝަނަލް ޑިވެލޮޕްމެންޓްItem Maldivian Seafaring in the Pre-Portuguese Period(The National Centre for Linguistic and Historical Research, 2005) ނަސީމާ މުޙައްމަދު; Mohamed, NaseemaThe settlers of the Maldives came from many lands, but in the battle for survival in difficult conditions, they melded together into one nation. In a country that is more sea than land, they learned to live in harmony with the ocean, developing a unique culture suitable to their environment. Oral traditions, evidence from archaeological sites, some available historical documents and foreign notices, serve to prove that in the past they were one of the most nautical of all the countries on the Indian Ocean rim. They learned to use the monsoon winds to their advantage during journeys to distant places. By the fourth century of the first millennium, they had navigational knowledge and sea-going craft which enabled them to undertake long voyages The Maldivians discovered the money cowrie in their islands and used it for trade with neighbouring countries. Fishing was the main economic activity and the chief exports consisted of cowries, coir rope, fish, tortoise shell and ambergris. Boat-building became an art and a skill that earned them the attention of other countries, and a craft was developed that was unique to Maldives and yet accommodated useful features from other ship-building lands. The sea-going vessels were versatile enough to be adapted to all necessary conditions. The purpose of this paper is to trace the tradition of Maldivian seafaring, up to the time of the arrival of the Portuguese in the early sixteenth century. With this objective in mind, we shall be looking at information from archaeological findings, oral traditions and historical records where these exist, and also from present-day Maldivian writers. Relevant foreign notices studied include very early records written by Amminanus Marcellinus, Ptolemy and an unknown Chinese author from the Chinese T’ang Dynasty period. Also included in this paper is material from Chinese author Ma Hwan who came to Maldives in 1414 with the fleet of Chinese Admiral Cheng Ho, and writings of Persian and Arab authors Sulaiman, Abu Zaid, Masudi, Idrisi and some others whose records contain relevant information on Maldives.Item ޢަބްދުއްރަޙީމު ޢަބްދުލް މަޖީދު(ދަރުމަ, 2009-11) ޙަމީދު, ޙަސަން; ްޙުސައިނ, ާމުޙައްމަދު މުޞްޠަފ; Hameedh, Hassan; Hussain, Muhammed Musthafa
