This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Meaningful employment provides not only necessary income, but satisfaction, social prestige, and a sense of personal identity. Unemployment can cause financial hardships, and social, cultural and psychological problems. Unemployment is not randomly distributed, but rather disadvantages some groups more than others. Findings of this study clearly indicate that Muslim unemployment is a serious problem in Queensland. Although unemployment is a complex issue, it is possible to identify factors influencing and contributing to unemployment in Queensland. This research has identified a number of factors and difficulties contributing to higher unemployment for Muslims in Queensland. Individual and socially acceptable employment does not happen in the realm of the economy. By taking the view to reduce Muslim unemployment in Queensland,we must tackle the issue by a range of methodologies including a balanced foreign policy in the Middle East, and combating racism, discrimination and prejudice. 108 pp. Englisch.

The former is mandated by the intergovernmental side of the EU, Council of the European Union, while the latter is mandated by the supranational side of the EU, European Commission. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides an empirical test of the effects of fiscal decentralization and horizontal fiscal equalization on economic growth and examines the potential trade-off between horizontal fiscal equalization and economic growth in both China and India. A comparative study of these two neighbours in Asia has shown that the degree of fiscal decentralization in both countries is far from the point where its effect on economic growth becomes positive. Despite the dangers of widening disparities in terms of interregional fiscal resource distribution from further decentralization, no substantial evidence shows a trade-off between horizontal fiscal equalization and growth in either country. In addition, both the 1994 Tax Sharing System (TSS) reform in China and the 1991 economic reforms in India have contributed to economic growth. An in-depth and more thorough going fiscal decentralization with greater emphasis on equalization of fiscal disparities are required in order to assure sustainable economic growth as well as social harmony in these two Asian countries. 108 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Globalization has made trade among countries more liberalized and easy, at the same time introduced new challenges such as control of logistics costs and service quality. Hinterland connectivity is considered as one of the critical requirement to ensure the seamless flow of the containers to realize the full potentials of containerization. Bangladesh is lacking the port infrastructure and inland transport facilities to balance with the increasing containerized trade and thus suffering from inefficiency. This is resulting in persistent congestion at the port yard and as a consequence shipping and port costs of Bangladesh are higher than those of some neighboring countries both in terms of price and timing. The study finds that without congestion, road and rail both can save some significant cost of $136/TEU and $38/TEU accordingly. The FOB (Free on Board) of a T-shirt is reduced to $1.266 from $1.28 resulting from the savings, which is very significant for the competitive garment sector. The trucking share of the export and import charge is down to 20% from 36.73% by the improved scenario which is expected to have a strong influence over the competitiveness for the export sector. 100 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work studies the behaviour of the four most traded stocks on the Prague Stock Exchange from January 2007 to July 2010. Its main goal is to describe how the financial crisis influenced the Prague Stock Exchange. Employing standard statistical methods, ARMA, GARCH, and VAR models I examine on daily data the following phenomena: volatility, price jumps, the day of the week effect, validity of the efficient market hypothesis, and information flow between the stocks. The results imply that the financial crisis had stronger impact on the banking sector stocks than on other stocks. The crisis was mainly characterized by rapid growth in volatility and correlation between the stocks. It also influenced the information flow and the day of the week effect. However, the crisis did not trigger growth in the number of extreme price movements, and it did not cause the market to be less information efficient. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The democratic theory of Claude Lefort is established on the idea of a society in continuous construction; the forms that it takes continuously change. From this point of view, Lefort attempts to understand modern democracy as it emerges from the breakdown of the monarchy. The monarchistic mutation of the 18th century provokes a new perception of power, because of the death of the king, the guarantor and representative of the unity of the kingdom. Because of the fact that power was embodied in the prince, and therefore gave society a body, an effective knowledge of what one meant to the other existed through the social. Consequently, Lefort draws a revolutionary and unprecedented conclusion concerning democratic society. In democratic society, the locus of power becomes an empty place; power belongs to none or to everyone. The point is that the institutional apparatus prevents governments from appropriating power for their own ends; the exercise of power is subject to the procedures of periodical redistribution. Through this approach, I try to consider the CNS and the CODESA of early 1990s as important events in terms of the definition of new social visions. 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ecology and socio-economy has been crucial for biodiversity conservation all around the globe. The one-horned rhinoceros is also witnessing serious threats within its habitats. In Chitwan National Park, Nepal, rhino population shows dramatic fluctuation. Few years back it continued to decline because of widespread poaching. The book tries to argue that not only the marginalized households but also the well-to-do households are susceptible to poaching. This book highlights that people are involved in these activities due to three areas of conflict: resource availability, livelihood and biodiversity conservation. Buffer zone management committees, who receive 50% of the Park revenue, have a greater role in rhino conservation by enabling these poorer households to earn through any or all activities. This is a priority for buffer zone committees so that their livelihood is enhanced and survival of the rhino is less threatened. This book is expected to make constructive contribution towards park and its buffer zone management. It can also be a useful resource for further research and investigations. 108 pp. Englisch.

Today, this continues in France as well as in many other countries across Europe. A large obstacle for Romani inclusion in France has been the lack of education regarding Romani history, which has enabled stereotypes and misperceptions of the Romani communities to become prominent. Additionally, many Romanies have not received general education as is expected by the French norm, resulting in a disparity within education, which in turn has contributed to the social exclusion experienced by Romanies. To understand how Romanies are being excluded from the hegemonic French norms, the matters of education, employment, housing, mobility, deportations and gender are explored through means of first hand interviews and fieldwork conducted in Ille-et-Vilaine, supplemented by media reports and previous research publications regarding exclusion and Romanies. 60 pp. Englisch.

Not only income from the off farm activities represents a significant share of the total income of rural households, but also off farm jobs absorb an increasing proportion of the rural labor among the rural poor without land. Although Uganda s agricultural sector has tended to receive some policy attentions like National Agricultural Advisory Development Services (NAADS) in rural areas, the rural poor derive their incomes from multiple sources. The data used in this study was from the Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS) 2005/06. A LOGIT MODEL with the binary outcome being the off farm participation was used. The study concluded by suggesting that the supply and demand sides in the labor market shape off farm employment. Local village conditions and demand factors as well as individual characters from the supply side act as major key aspects in determining individual s decision to participate in off farm activities, typical policies such as improvements in human capital and rural infrastructure could act as important tools for promoting and making the poor benefit from the income opportunities from the off farm sector. 84 pp. Englisch.
