“…The most important funding source to foster this information exchange activity is external to the university (can be either private or public, or both). This result reinforces previous findings that imply that external sourced funding is an important factor to stimulate interaction and collaboration in academia, notwithstanding that this funding comes from private (Harman 1999) or public sources (Horta 2009 forthcoming). Funding for research projects from internal sources (i.e., own funds from the university) also have a positive effect on information exchange dynamics with international colleagues, suggesting that university level policies towards internationalization involving greater levels of interaction on academic matters with international peers can be fostered if institutional funding is available.…”

This article examines the effects that performing a post-doc early in the academic career have for the current scholarly practices of faculty members. Results show that performing a post-doc early in the academic career impacts positively the recent research output of academics, although not affecting the other faculty member's scholarly activities, namely teaching. The results also show that academics that did a post-doc engage in more regular information exchange dynamics with international peers than their colleagues that did not. This is particularly evident for the younger generations of scholars and for those who spent the post-doctoral period abroad. It is concluded that the post-doctoral period not only fosters a greater production of scientific outputs later in the academic career, but also leads to a greater integration into international scholarly communities. These benefits potentiate former postdocs to become key players in any scientific or higher education system.

Marikana, a Past Never Truly Escaped: A Critique on the Commodification of the Legal System and the Law as an Instrument of Justice in Post-Apartheid South Africa

This article demonstrates that the Marikana tragedy was not a departure from the norm, but a continuation of state and corporate behaviour that has oppressed black South Africans for hundreds of years. This will be done through an analysis of the historically discriminatory socio-economic patterns of South African society, and how they subjugate the poor by limiting their access to legal and physical protection. These trends portray a history of commodification of the legal system. I discuss a notable documentary on the massacre, Miners Shot Down, and examine its depiction of the causes and effects of the events. The film provides no mention of the historical context of the killings, nor does it comment on many of the factors contributing to the massacre. Despite this, it succeeded in bringing the events to the attention of the broader public. I analyse the notions of justice, the rule of law and their application in South Africa as well as norms in the nation’s legal culture. Additionally, I examine the Farlam Commission, and how its procedures and conclusions hindered the course of justice in the context of our democracy. Ultimately, I demonstrate how the Marikana massacre was not a change in dynamic, but a reminder of a past we have never truly escaped.
