Abstract:

A census of scleractinian species was carried out in 2002 and 2003 in the atolls of South Male, Felidhu, Wataru and Ari, in the central Maldives. Thirty four stations were surveyed by scuba diving between the depths of 0 and 50m. One hundred and eighty zooxanthellate coral species belonging to 51 genera were recorded, of which 17 species belonging to 14 genera are new records for the Maldives. A complete list of zooxanthellate scleractinian species including our own results as well as documented records published by previous authors is given. This list includes 248 species belonging to 57 genera. The taxonomic status of a number of species of doubtful validity cited by previous authors is discussed. The need for additional sampling throughout the entire Maldive Archipelago and for a re-examination of Gardiner’s material is stressed.

Abstract:

This study aims to assess the comparative analysis of India and China’s economic assistance to Maldives. Maldives is smallest country in South Asia. The republic of Maldives, so far, is one of the least known country in the international community. Maldives, a group of 1200 islands spanning around 90,000 square kilometres in the Indian Ocean Region, has been in the limelight for the last decade. It has population around 5 lakhs. The archipelago country is strategically important for both India and the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). The Maldivian economy is primarily driven by tourism and fish exports, and for decades India has been an important trade partner. At present, strategic significance of the Indian ocean region has been increased due to its location, vital for trade and defence. In the Indian Ocean and South Asia, China and India are gaining a dominant role. Both nations are striving for influence in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region. The Maldives and Indo-China have a significant diplomatic relationship. The Maldives’ potential for self-development has been strengthened and their social and economic growth has been accelerated due to China’s consistent assistance. Both countries provide economic and humanitarian assistance to South Asian countries, and Maldives is one of them. This paper is divided into three parts: Firstly, to evaluate financial help provided by China and India to the Maldives. Secondly, to assess the Maldives response to this assistance provided by China and India to the Maldives. Thirdly, to explore problems and prospects associated with the help providing by China and India to the Maldives.

Abstract:

This article examines the dynamics of politics and international relations in South Asia with a reference to the Maldives. The Maldives is a small, fragile nation in South Asia, with 198 of its 1,192 islands inhabited. The peaceful Maldives, at the dawn of democracy, turned volatile when Nasheed started a campaign to impeach a criminal court judge. At that moment, India consciously did not want to get involved in the internal affairs of the Maldives. But in this opportunity, some countries like China, Pakistan, USA wanted to increase their influence in the democracy of Maldives. Some Islamic fundamentalist groups also tried to put a stain on the democracy of Maldives. A weak judiciary, corruption, and nepotism have taken a terrible toll on the country's democracy. In the presidential election of 2008 and 2013 Maldives, India's cooperation was an unprecedented event in this electoral system. However, Maldives has wandered between various ups and downs leading to the establishment of democracy. As a small country in South Asia, the establishment and context of democracy are very important, and Maldivian foreign policy towards India is always influenced by domestic politics. So, this paper focuses on the role of India to establish democracy in Maldives. The content analysis method was used in this study. Hence, this article contributes to studies of politics and international relations among countries in South Asia.

Abstract:

Archipelagic waters are created when an archipelagic state meeting the qualifications of article 47 of the Law of the Sea (LOS) convention draws archipelagic baselines joining the outermost points of the outermost islands and drying reefs of the archipelago. Maldives is an archipelagic state with 99.7% of the area is sea situated in the birthplace of maritime civilization- the Indian Ocean. In recent years, Maldives has seen a growing inclination towards its maritime environment with the expanding economy fuelled by growing international tourism, shipping, overseas trade and fisheries. Owing to the strategic position of the country and its proximity to vital Sea Line of Communication (SLOC) that are infested with rising threats and crimes. Though Maldives does not have any territorial disputes with neighboring countries, country is facing great challenges in dealing with narcotics, ERF and other non- traditional maritime threats especially environmental challenges. Maldives is facing various threats for her existence other than the issues faced due to climate changes. To deal with these challenges Maldives maritime agencies need to be conceptualized, instead of Marine Police under the Maldives Police Service, and other government institutions such as Customs Marine Department under Maldives Customs Service and Immigration Marine Department under Maldives Immigration working independently. Maldives Maritime Authority can be formed to work under one umbrella to oversee functions of the above mentioned departments. Hence law enforcement at sea will be more effective, economizing the effort and resources while serving the people effectively to deter future threats and uncertainty.

"THE ROLE OF ISLAMIC DA'WAH AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SHARIA ON THE EXISTENCE OF MUSLIMS IN THE MALDIVES ISLANDS PAST AND PRESENT." Jurnal Ilmiah Islam Futura 24, no. 1 (February 1, 2024): 85. http://dx.doi.org/10.22373/jiif.v24i1.18005.

Full text

Abstract:

Writing this article aims to explain the development of Islamic da'wah in the Maldives Islands, which is unique and rarely found in other Muslim regions. So far, the Maldives is only known as a tourist spot. It is rarely known that all of the Maldives adhere to Islam. The British have also ruled the Maldives for 78 years, influencing the Maldives to some extent. What is the form of da'wah carried out by Abu al-Barakat, whose origins are still debated by historians? But what is clear is that he had a significant influence on the spread of Islam in the Maldives Islands, which is corroborated by classical sources such as the text attributed to Ibn Battuta and several contemporary books. We conducted a literature study on this paper, with a historical approach, by collecting data, verifying and analyzing the data thoroughly, and rewriting the results of the analysis inductively in a qualitative descriptive form. Islam spread in the Maldives peacefully without violence and continues to survive from Christian missionaries and Shiite sects who come to spread their views. Scholars say about the fiqh theory that faith in conscience will not be changed by the sins and heresies it commits.

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the presence of halal tourism in the Maldives through the lens of Maqasid Shariah. It seeks to link halal and community-based tourism for marketing, attracting more halal tourists through shared objectives and aspirations. Despite a Muslim-majority population, Maldives' tourism sometimes conflicts with Shariah law. The study employed a qualitative approach, specifically surveys were employed to evaluate the extent of adherence to the Maqasid Shariah objectives in tourist establishments, while interviews were conducted with experts in Islamic finance & tourism industry in Maldives. And literature review was used to investigate prior research conducted in other jurisdictions. The topic of halal tourism in the Maldives has elicited divergent perspectives. However, the implementation of community-based tourism (CBT) has the capacity to stimulate economic advancement and enhance the agency of Indigenous communities. The study revealed that CBT has a limited but some impact on the advancement of halal tourism. Kajian ini bertujuan menyelidik kewujudan pelancongan halal di Maldives menurut perspektif Maqasid Syariah. Ia bertujuan menghubungkan pelancongan halal dan pelancongan berasaskan komuniti untuk pemasaran, menarik lebih ramai pelancong halal melalui objektif dan aspirasi yang sama. Walaupun penduduk Maldives secara majoritinya beragama Islam, pelancongan di Maldives kadangkala bercanggah dengan undang-undang Syariah. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, khususnya tinjauan digunakan untuk menilai sejauh mana pematuhan kepada objektif Maqasid Syariah di tempat penginapan pelancong, manakala temu bual dijalankan dengan pakar dalam industri kewangan & pelancongan Islam di Maldives. Manakala tinjauan literatur digunakan untuk mengkaji penyelidikan terdahulu yang dijalankan di negara lain. Topik pelancongan halal di Maldives telah menimbulkan perspektif yang berbeza. Walau bagaimanapun, pelaksanaan pelancongan berasaskan komuniti mempunyai keupayaan untuk merangsang kemajuan ekonomi dan meningkatkan komuniti masyarakat orang asli. Kajian itu mendedahkan bahawa pelancongan berasaskan komuniti mempunyai kesan terhad tetapi memberi sedikit impak kepada kemajuan pelancongan halal.

Abstract:

Purpose – The objective of this study is to examine CSR practices in the Maldives. Design/methodology/approach – The perceptions of business and non-business stakeholders were analysed in order to identify CSR practices that are idiosyncratic to the Maldives and to reflect on the relevance of current mainstream CSR agenda for the Maldives. Surveys and in-depth interviews were used to draw the perceptions of a sample of 52 businesses and 36 non-business stakeholders. The study adopts an interpretive methodology to analyse the perceptions and to reflect on extant CSR theories. Findings – The paper suggests mediocre CSR practices of businesses and lukewarm responses from non-business stakeholders in the Maldives. There is a difference between what businesses consider ought to be CSR practices (the normative) and their actual CSR practices. Businesses prefer to keep their CSR practices discreet as publicity may cause increasing demands from local communities for financial and other assistance. CSR practices in the Maldives are also influenced by the local Islamic culture. The meaning of CSR prevalent in the context of more advanced western economies may prove to be superfluous in the context of the Maldives, a small and developing Islamic country struggling to meet the basic needs of its people. Originality/value – This study represents the first research on CSR activities in the Maldives. It contributes to existing literature by challenging the relevance of mainstream CSR practices to a developing economy.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper is the first comprehensive and illustrated account of living Polyplacophora from the Maldive Islands. The only important previous contribution is that of E.A. Smith (1903), describing eight species. We determined 15 species sourced from 24 sampling sites, mainly at a depth of 20–40 meters, represented by 19 living specimens and 1112 valves. Only nine species (Parachiton hylkiae mauricejayi, Ischnochiton albinus, Ischnochiton sp., Rhyssoplax maldivensis, Tegulaplax hululensis, Lucilina sp., Acanthochitona penicillata, Craspedochiton cf. laqueatus, Cryptoplax burrowi) are represented by living specimens, the others by separate valves (Callochiton clausadeae, Lucilina perligera, L. carnosa, Acanthochitona sp., Craspedochiton sp., Cryptoplax sykesi), three of them (Lucilina perligera, Acanthochitona sp., Craspedochiton sp.) by only one or two valves. We did not find four of the species previously reported for the Maldives, i.e. Ischnochiton feliduensis, Callochiton platessa, Squamopleura miles and Schizochiton incisus. The specimen collected by J.S. Gardiner, and reported in Smith (1903) as Callochiton platessa Gould, has been studied, and it is not possible to attribute to any of the other Callochiton species from the Indian Ocean. It thus remains undetermined as Callochiton sp., and Callochiton platessa Gould must be deleted from the list of chiton species living in the Maldive Islands. The holotype of Ischnochiton feliduensis (the only specimen known) is illustrated to provide a complete and exhaustive survey of all the 19 chiton species now known from the Maldive Islands. Two species from other localities, Squamopleura miles and Schizochiton incisus, also are illustrated. The type material of Craspedochiton laqueatus and Cryptoplax burrowi has been examined. Eleven species are reported for the first time for the Maldives: Parachiton hylkiae mauricejayi, Ischnochiton albinus, Ischnochiton sp., Callochiton clausadeae, Lucilina perligera, L. carnosa, Lucilina sp., Acanthochitona penicillata, Acanthochitona sp., Craspedochiton sp. and Cryptoplax sykesi.

Abstract:

Maldives is a one hundred percent Muslim nation where the zakat administrative function is entrusted to a government ministry, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs (MIA), which manages zakat al maal and zakat al-fitr. Since June 1, 2016, MIA has delegated the task of collecting zakat to the Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA). Maldives presently has no law dealing with zakat, so the Islamic Training and Research Institute (IRTI) has proposed a set of zakat laws that could be adopted by the country. The objective of this qualitative research is to discuss the zakat framework proposed by IRTI. There is limited literature available on the zakat framework in Maldives, so it is anticipated that this study will become the starting point for further research on this topic.

Full text

Abstract:

China’s contemporary relations with both Sri Lanka and the Maldives have been described as ‘models of good relations between small and big countries’. China has been an important trading partner for Sri Lanka, with a large and growing trade surplus in China’s favour in the last few years. At the same time it has also been a significant source of investment and foreign economic assistance to Sri Lanka. Similarly, while China enjoys a large surplus in its trade with the Maldives as well, it is also a significant source of economic assistance and tourism for the Maldives. Given that India is in many ways the preeminent power in South Asia, China’s relations with Sri Lanka and the Maldives in the South Asian regional context have been analysed in terms of two ‘strategic triangles’: China–India–Sri Lanka and China–India–Maldives. What emerges from this analysis is that the sustenance of the cooperative momentum in the China-India relationship is crucial to the improvement of China’s relations with South Asia as a whole.

Abstract:

The Maldives is a country made up entirely of coral atolls with very limited terrestrial habitat diversity and only one known resident bat species: the Maldivian Flying Fox, Pteropus medius ariel. Here we report the first confirmed record of any insectivorous bat from the Maldives: a single bat that flew on board a boat off Raa Atoll in the north of Maldives on 13 February 2019. Wind trajectory analysis suggests that it had flown from Kerala, south India. From photos and morphometric estimates, we could identify it as a Long-winged Tomb Bat Taphozous longimanus. Reports of Flying Foxes from the Maldives (P. medius ariel and P. hypomelanus maris) are also reviewed. The former is widespread and common, while the latter is known only from a single disputed and now apparently missing specimen.

Abstract:

This article discusses the problems with development experienced by the Maldives through a political economy lens. It claims that key socio-economic areas like health, education and community-based activities such as local fishing have not developed to an extent it should have considering the success of national development achieved through the growth of the tourism industry since the early 1970s. Using theories of governance, development and inequality, this article forms a methodologically feasible theoretical framework to explain the phenomenon of unbalanced development or underdevelopment in the Maldives. It claims that development can coexist with underdevelopment in a society. This phenomenon of underdevelopment in the Maldives is assessed by observing economic performance of the tourism industry against the performances of other sectors including health, education and local fishing. Using a historical institutionalist method to political economy analysis, this article shows that the empirical evidence of underdevelopment in the Maldives, during the 1970s–2000s, can be equated to policy shortfalls associated with a weak governance system. It asserts that there is a notable connection between developmental problems and the system of governance in the Maldives that policy makers should take into account in the decision-making process

Abstract:

Mobile technology, associated with mobility has led to the fluidity of knowledge transfer from any part of the globe. The rise in technology-enabled mobile devices tend to impact teaching and learning one or the other way. The fast-growing mobile learning (mLearning) and its instructional strategies are reaching learners anytime anywhere. Thereby, mLearning and its learning activities engage students passively, behaviorally, intellectually and emotionally in learning (Yao & Wang, 2018). Especially, in a country like Maldives where the people live in small islands separated by sea, mLearning could be an advantageous mode that can be adopted in the higher education of Maldives. The dispersed institutional students were were reached using mobile technology creating a psychological acceptance towards mLearning. Therefore, the study was developed to explore psychological readiness of institutional distance learning students to adopt mobile learning in Maldives. Keywords: Mobile learning, psychological readiness, paradigm shift, higher education institutions, Maldives.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to formulate ways in which Maldives could pioneer Islamic tourism on a befitting framework and financing structure as a leverage to develop its tourism industry. Design/methodology/approach The research uses qualitative approach whereby primary and empirical data on tourism practices as well as relevant laws and guidelines, issued in Maldives and in other Muslim jurisdictions of the Muslim, are analyzed. Doctrinal approach is used in analyzing secondary data on the subject. Findings The research reveals the potential of Islamic tourism in Maldives as well as the challenges that have constrained its development in the country.

Abstract:

The politics involved in the appointment of Judges to the Supreme Court impacts everyone; the policy making Executive, the lawmaking Legislature and the people who elected the aforementioned two branches of Government. In Maldives, the parliament plays a huge role in the appointment of Justices to the Supreme Court of Maldives. However, the parliamentary procedure in place regarding providing approval to selected candidates to the highest authority in the judiciary of Maldives seems to lack a vital part of any job interview; the assessing of the candidate’s eligibility to take on the responsibilities of the office. Whereas in the United States of America, confirmation hearings are held to not only assess the candidate’s eligibility but also to determine the character of the candidate. The main purpose of this article is to entail the role of the parliament in both jurisdictions in the appointment of Justices to the Supreme Court Therefore, taking a doctrinal approach, this article analyses the constitutional and parliamentary procedures of the United States of America and Maldives regarding the appointment of Justices to the Supreme Court. This article reveals the imperative necessity to reform the constitutional and parliamentary procedures of appointing Justices, to ensure an independent, impartial and effective judiciary in the Maldives.

Abstract:

China has, in the recent decades, has consolidated its interests in the South Asian region. This change in China’s foreign policy, from a focus on the North-East and South-East Asia, hints at an attempt to sustain China’s own peaceful rise. India, on the other hand, has emphasised on a ‘Look East’ foreign policy in the recent times. Both India and China share an important diplomatic relationship with Maldives. However, China’s growing influence in Maldives might be a serious strategic concern to India. This article is an exploratory study of the relationship that China shares with Maldives and its implications to India.

Abstract:

Abstract. The Maldives Archipelago (Indian Ocean), composed of two rows of atolls that enclose an inner sea, offers an excellent study site to explore the forcings of carbonate production at platforms. Glacial–interglacial sea-level changes have been claimed to be the main factor controlling the carbonate platform factories; however, climatic factors may also have an impact. In this work we used geochemical compositional records, obtained by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) core-scanning from the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1467 in the Maldives Inner Sea, to analyze the orbitally driven fluctuations on the carbonate production and export from the neritic environment into the Maldives Inner Sea over the last 1.3 million years. High Sr aragonite-rich carbonates (HSAC) from neritic settings were deposited in the Maldives Inner Sea during sea-level highstand intervals, increasing the Sr/Ca values. In contrast, low Sr/Ca values are observed coincident with sea-level lowstand periods, suggesting that large areas of the atolls were exposed or unable to grow, and therefore, there was a demise in the carbonate production and sediment export to the Maldives Inner Sea. However, comparison of the Sr/Ca values and the sea-level reconstructions for different interglacial periods before and after the mid-Brunhes event (MBE, ∼ 430 ka) indicates that sea level is not the only factor controlling the production of HSAC during sea-level highstands. The study of monsoon and primary productivity proxies (Fe-normalized, Fe/K, and Br-normalized records) from the same site suggests that the intensity of the summer monsoon and the Indian Ocean dipole probably modulated the carbonate production at the atolls. Moreover, Marine Isotope Stage 11 stands out as a period with high sea level and extraordinary carbonate production in the Maldives platform. This outstanding carbonate production in the Maldives atolls (and in other low-latitude carbonate platforms) probably contributed to the mid-Brunhes dissolution event through a strong shelf-to-basin fractionation of carbonate deposition.

Abstract:

Maldives is a small island developing State in the Indian Ocean comprised of multiple low-lying, sandy islands and coral reefs. It has a long history of human occupation and dependence on the environment, particularly the ocean, for food, resources and trade. Maldives continues to rely upon nature through tourism and fisheries. Conservation and sustainable use of the environment and its resources is therefore of paramount importance to Maldives. In response to growing environmental pressures, including climate change, the State has engaged at global and regional levels, ratifying treaties and participating in key international institutions. It has also developed national law and policy, as well as relevant plans and strategies focused on sustainability. Despite this activity, relatively little legal research has focused on this jurisdiction. This article aims to contribute to the literature on Maldives by exploring environmental, fisheries and tourism laws and policies, analysing current legislative developments and making tentative recommendations in areas where governance could be enhanced.

Abstract:

The Maldives are coral reef islands of Holocene origin with no endemic terrestrial herpetofauna. The few species that have been reported from the region have affinities with Sri Lanka, south and south-east Asia, and are considered relatively recent introductions by humans. Recent collections of Hemidactylus geckos from the Maldives allowed us to identify and reconstruct the probable origin of this genus on the islands. We combine mitochondrial DNA (ND2) sequence data for the new collections with published sequences to reconstruct evolutionary relationships. The two species of Hemidactylus in the Maldives are H. frenatus and H. parvimaculatus, with affinities to south-east Asia and Sri Lanka, respectively. Suggestive of multiple introductions, each species included multiple haplotypes, only one of which was previously recorded (in Sri Lanka); other haplotypes showed similarities to records from south-east Asia. Unravelling the colonisation patterns of house geckos in the Maldives requires a more complete knowledge of the natural variation across the range of the widely distributed source species.

Abstract:

The paper concentrates on International Development (ID) projects implemented in the Maldives, an island nation in the Indian Ocean. Some of the critical issues reported on these projects include failure of contractors and consultants to deliver goods and services, non-compliance issues on financial management / reporting practices, and project delays. The overarching central question guiding the study is “How can project success be achieved in ID projects implemented in the Maldives?” This paper seeks to assess the challenges facing projects, explore the critical success factors, and project success criteria of ID projects in the Maldives. Furthermore, the study will look into developing a framework for the success of ID projects in the Maldives. It is intended to be carried out based on a qualitative case study approach. The study hopes to capture the views of beneficiaries, project teams, and donors, and thus, help resolve the misalignment between theoretical frameworks and practice.

Abstract:

The main objective of this article is to analyze the demographic situation of SAARC countries. This article is based on descriptive analyses of the data derived from the World Population Data Sheet (Population Reference Bureau) 2006 and 2016. The world population reached 7.4 billion in 2016. It is unevenly distributed because less developed countries occupied 83 percent and more developed countries had 17 percent. Asia only occupied three-fifth (60.53%). In the SAARC region, India and Maldives are the countries with the highest and lowest population. Afghanistan had the highest fertility and mortality whereas Sri Lanka and Maldives had the lowest fertility and mortality. Sri Lanka, Maldives, and Bangladesh had life expectancy over 70 years. Afghanistan and Sri Lanka had the highest (44%) and lowest (25%) shares of the young population. However, the share of the old dependent population (65+ years) in the SAARC region was very low. Similarly, the highest and lowest urban percentages were found in Maldives (46%) and Sri Lanka (18%).

Learning outcomes The learning outcome of this paper is to understand the geopolitical aspects of international business. Assessing the political risk inherent in international investment projects. Maintaining a favorable corporate image in the host country despite apparent hostilities. Analyzing the risks associated with doing business in an emerging market. Case overview/synopsis In February 2019, local newspapers in the Maldives published unconfirmed reports that the Indian company GMR was reinvesting in the Maldives. GMR had secured a contract in 2010 for renovation/expansion of The Maldives International Airport. However, the contract created political turmoil, with opposition parties objecting to some clauses. People considered GMR closer to the incumbent President, Mohammed Nasheed. The unstable political scenario forced President Nasheed to resign amidst allegations of corruption. The new President showed hostility toward India and GMR while making overtures to China. He canceled the airport contract and awarded it to a Chinese company. GMR went to the international Tribunal in Singapore. The tribunal upheld the Maldivian government’s right to terminate the agreement but awarded GMR a compensation of US$270m. In 2019, a new government came to power in the Maldives, with Mohammed Nasheed enjoying a commanding position. The government pledged to accept the judgment of the Singapore International Tribunal. The local media discussed the possibility of the return of GMR to the Maldives after seeing some senior GMR officials in the Maldives. However, it was not clear whether it would be a good idea for GMR. Complexity academic level Master's level program. Supplementary materials Teaching notes are available for educators only.

Abstract:

This article examines the effectiveness of child custody laws in the Maldives as well as Pakistan. Unfortunately, within the family courts, custody of the child is among the many unresolved issues parents choose litigation for, and it often takes months to reach a conclusion. In the family justice system of the Maldives as well as in Pakistan, parents only have the option of sole custody. In cases where the father has sole custody of the child, he may deny the mother visitation rights, and vice versa if the mother has custody. Against this backdrop, this article examines the present approach to child custody matters in the contexts of the Maldives and Pakistan post-family separation. The study aims to ascertain how family courts interpret the concepts of 'welfare of the minor' and 'best interests of the child' within the framework of existing laws. Additionally, it examines whether these courts implement arrangements for shared parenting or joint custody, as observed in various jurisdictions, and evaluates the judges' comprehension of the modern concepts of joint custody or shared parental responsibility in the Maldives and Pakistan. Employing surveys, interviews, and library research methods, this study examines the modern approach to child custody. Specifically, it investigates the concept of "joint custody" or "shared parenting" across different jurisdictions and advocates for its integration into the family justice systems of the Maldives and Pakistan.

Abstract:

For Small Island Developing States such as the Maldives, climate change poses an existential threat to the future and welfare of their countries’ populations. The effects of global warming, such as rising sea levels and increased flooding, have forced countries to consider different measures in order to adapt, and some are even worried about a possible climate forced migration as a result of these dangers. Unfortunately, a lack of recognition of climate migrants under international law means that island states are left on their own to decide the best course of action. This raises an important question: What are possible challenges and solutions for Small Island Developing States [SIDS], such as the Maldives, who are planning for the climate forced migration of their populations? Using a case study of the Maldives, this paper explores both mitigation and adaptation measures that the Maldivian government has considered to develop its climate resilience. It also argues that rather than plan for relocation, the Maldives and other SIDS should prioritize keeping their populations together, maintaining cultural integrity, and implementing initiatives which support sustainable development.

Abstract:

This paper analyses how Maldives’ close ties with Saudi Arabia have affected its relations with other countries from Middle East Asia. Following the footsteps of Saudi Arabia, Maldives severed its diplomatic relations with Iran in 2016 and with Qatar in 2017. The paper discusses the economic investments Riyadh has made to develop civic infrastructure in the island nation. However, more than diplomatic ties and economic investments, close relations between Malé and Riyadh have affected the Island state’s society. There is a spread of religious obstructionism in Maldivian society, for which several outside scholars and Maldivians blame Saudi Arabia. Finally, the paper briefly discusses Maldives’ ties with Middle East countries other than Saudi Arabia.

The spread of English has reached almost every corner of the world, and the Republic of the Maldives is no exception. Following the nation's opening to the outside world, the introduction of English as a medium of instruction at secondary and tertiary level of education, and its government's recognition of the opportunities offered through tourism, English has now firmly established itself in the country. As such, Maldives is quite similar to the countries in the Gulf region (cf. Randall & Samimi, 2010; Boyle, 2012). The nation is undergoing vast societal change, and English is part of this.

Abstract:

This article explores the issue of whether a reflective culture is a necessary condition for sustaining action research in the Maldives. Drawing on data gathered for a study conducted in the Maldives and supplemented by a discussion of literature on the appropriateness of AR in developing countries, I consider why AR might be useful for professional development in the Maldives. As in many developing country contexts, there are many practical difficulties, such as time constraints that can prevent teachers from engaging in AR. However, the main focus of this article is to reflect whether it is simply a case of the absence of a reflective culture or AR itself that may be acting as a barrier to teacher engagement in it. Based on these findings, I argue that familiarity with reflective practices in teaching may be a prerequisite to the development of AR in the Maldives, and therefore, it may be that introducing the notion of reflective practice into initial teacher training is the first step. I also argue that it is important to carefully and critically consider the assumptions and practices within AR and adapt it for use as a professional development tool.

Abstract:

This paper presents findings of a case study of the regulatory framework of quality assurance (QA) in higher education in the Maldives. For this study, a systems approach was adopted to capture a holistic perspective of the various key elements and their relationships to each other to investigate the effectiveness of the regulatory framework in the quality assurance system. The data collection consisted of document analysis and interviews with four key stakeholder groups. Some of the unique challenges in developing and establishing a fully-functioning regulatory mechanism of quality assurance for higher education in the Maldives include lack of independence of the system from the Ministry of Education and influence of other key stakeholders on the decision making process of the quality assurance system. Absence of a legal mandate to ensure that outcomes of regulatory processes are accepted by the government, the public and the higher education system is unique to the Maldives where the quality assurance system has been in operation since 2010, while it holds no legal status or independence. Whilst the case study is situated in the Maldives, it provides a useful reference for policy makers, practitioners and professionals in other small states.

Abstract:

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the prevalence and severity of COVID-19 disease in SAARC affiliated countries and show the comparison by analyzing the patterns of infections, recoveries, and deaths among the countries. Methods: The data related to COVID-19 of SAARC affiliated countries were collected from Worldometer in which the dataset consists of daily confirmed, recovery, and death cases. To compare the prevalence and severity of COVID-19 among these countries, we consider three parameters such as case fatality rate (CFR), recovery-to-death ratio (RDR), and percent active case (PAC). Results: The highest daily CFR among the SAARC affiliated countries was in Bangladesh followed by Afghanistan, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal and the Maldives according to the maximum CFR of the countries until 24 October 2020. The highest RDR among the SAARC affiliated countries was in Nepal followed by the Maldives, Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan until 24 October. The most prevalent country according to infection per million people by COVID-19 among the SAARC affiliated countries is the Maldives followed by India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka as of October 24. The most death prevalent country per million people is India followed by the Maldives, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and no people died in Bhutan until October 24, 2020. Conclusion: This study shows that the severity of COVID-19 is high in the Maldives in terms of infections and India in terms of deaths per million in SAARC, so India is at high risk among the countries.
