Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The rule of law is essential to international society just as it is to domestic order, but it is much more difficult to achieve on the international level. The fields of International Relations and International Law have engaged relatively little with one another. The interdisciplinary research demonstrates a number of contemporary trends that are often ill-addressed by scholars of either field including the increased importance of non-state actors and the ramifications of state weakness and state illegitimacy. A new paradigm of international relations is needed to be created based on international law . Through the angle of international law, the author tries to reflect the main arguments of the various theoretical approaches in international relations, and also calls for an interdisciplinary collaborated research agenda to address the contemporary international problems and build a global order in the globalized world of the 21st century. The analysis should shed some light on the trend of the ongoing interdisciplinary discussion between International Relations and International Law. 96 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study was carried out in Aweil West/North Counties of North Bahr el Ghazal State in South Sudan. It sought to establish the main local natural resource endowments, their utilization particularly in response to food insecurity, constraining factors and impacts on sustainability. The protracted conflict in South Sudan resulted in the loss of household assets and displacements, and subsequent widespread incidences of food insecurity. Results showed that loss of key livelihood capitals forced households to develop and adopt copping strategies by diversifying their livelihoods onto the local natural resource endowments. Many constraints were encountered, some of which are potential challenges on the sustainability of these resources. Intervention support from international agencies enhanced the process of livelihoods transitions. From this study; livestock, land,rivers and forest are the main local natural resource endowments for this community; livestock being the major one. Loss of livestock resulted in livelihood diversification in which crop production emerged as the leading livelihood, but constraining factors limited households from deriving maximum benefits. 120 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The National Outlook and Its Youth: According to some academics, the modern centre in Turkey is represented by Kemalism while the periphery is by political Islam. This book examines the Islamist politics of the 1970s in Turkey, focusing on the National Outlook movement and its youth organization, the Raiders. The book argues that the debate on Islam's relation with modernity tends to essentialize the phenomenon of political Islam while what determines the nature of Islamist movements is not Islam itself but the socio-historical contexts they emerge in. It is said that the National Outlook conveyed the peripheral groups to the center, thus contributing to democratic development; yet, it is neglected that the movement's elites had close ties to the secular center and adopted the target of creating a homogenous-modern nation. And the movement was not free of internal conflicts. On the other hand, the book shows that the Raiders' aim was not to self-integrate to but to conquer the center, which resulted in the controversies between them and the headquarters of the National Outlook. This book should help those dealing with the phenomenon of political Islam and its relation to democracy. 116 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Although the eradication of child poverty is a top concern for European governments, consensus has not been reached on how this goal could be achieved: welfare regimes propose different policy solutions and researchers propose different measures and theories. In the meantime, at the dawn of the third millennium, European children's lives are still threatened by risks of poverty and social exclusion. In so far as we consider poverty not only as a socio- demographic attribute but as the outcome of a complex generative mechanism, studying child poverty is a challenging task. Child poverty is a part of individuals biography, but also the outcome of interactions with other individuals, institutions or groups within a social context. This book presents some theoretical ingredients for the analytic approach to the study of child poverty and the trends of macro indicators of national wealth, social protection expenditure and income inequalities, child poverty incidence, intensity and persistency and child poverty risks at the individual level, using data from EUROSTAT and from the European Community Household Panel, between the mid-1990s and 2000. 84 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What do we make of the interrelationships of race, class and gender through the lens of whiteness Premising whiteness as a structure of authority (drawing on Homi Bhabha), this study examines these intersections within the location of Western Sydney, Australia. Investigating whiteness in Western Sydney enables critical insights into the intersections of race, class and gender, given the popular positioning of Western Sydney as the working class other to the more affluent and cosmopolitan Northern and Eastern areas of Sydney; and the dumping ground for newly arrived immigrant and refugee populations from the latest sites of war and degradation around the world. This text examines these issues as theory and through pedagogic intervention in the racialised discourses and practices that frame the taken-for- granted relationships of dominant Anglo-Australians and their racialised others. Framed within feminist, post-structuralist and pedagogic theories, the study brings to life the challenges and opportunities of whiteness as a lens for understanding and challenging everyday racism. 296 pp. Englisch.…

Dehumanizing The Enemy in War Coverage enhances our understanding of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict and the media world. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Both tax incentives and penalty measures are effective in raising revenue and changing behaviours. However, to answer the question, how a government should go about in applying environmental taxes and incentives, it is apparent that a wide basis of participation is necessary. Consequently, allowances and incentive measures should not only be available for the select few taxpayers in industries producing energy or wastes, but should be provided to all persons who alter their behaviour to benefit the environment. Similarly, penalties and taxes should not prejudice specific industries or persons but should penalise all types of behaviour and consumption that causes pollution. The simplest way to provide tax benefits to all persons is through indirect taxes. It is evident that indirect taxes are applied as punitive measure to curtail polluting. Moreover, pollution tax is a good way for the fiscus to earn revenue. Nevertheless, when such taxes tax are effective, that specific pollution tax s contribution to total revenue will reduce, thus if reliance is to be placed on the revenues from pollution taxes, such taxes will have to increase over time. 100 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the post-colonial and post-communist world nationalism has become a subject of great interest to academics and political commentators alike. This interest has generated by the fact that after the end of the Cold War, nationalism was expected to be replaced by a cosmopolitan world with liberal values. Yet this has proved not to be the case. Globalization and liberalism have not been able to prevent the rise of a new wave of nationalism. The aim of this research is to explore the expressions of new nationalisms in Turkey in the artistic field and the political messages disseminated by the new nationalist films, TV series, and books. Among many of the new nationalist cultural products, Kurtlar Vadisi has been chosen as the object of a case study because of its enormous popularity. The distinctive features of Kurtlar Vadisi such as mistrust of state authorities, heroism, excessive use of violence, masculinity, variety of enemies and reliance on conspiracy theories can also be considered the basic characteristics of new-nationalism. The overall goal is to arrive at a conceptualization of the new nationalism as a popular art phenomenon in Turkey. 112 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The recent macroeconomic history of emerging market economies is coloured with economic crises of all kinds, ranging from debt-crises, through hyperinflationary periods to currency crises to name but a few. This, along with the peculiar exposure of emerging markets to international economic shocks have resulted in volatile business cycles in these countries. This work explores the role that stabilisation policy has played in dampening the volatility of these crisis and shock-related business fluctuations. Fiscal and monetary interventions, working mainly through the demand-side of the economy, have been mildly succesful in mitigating the negative economic effects associated with economic crises. The dominance of supply shocks and the institutional origin of economic crises imply that stabilisation policy in emerging markets can only become more effective if appropriate structural changes are encouraged. 60 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The scenario of Latin America in the Higher Education area, especially in Chile and Mexico, appears to be significantly affected by some European influences, noticeable by examining the implementation of two European tools: the Bologna Process and the Tuning Project. This thesis argues that if we analyse the European influences as a Normative Power on the construction of common space in Higher Education in Chile and Mexico, the hegemonic process may, perhaps, prove to be focused on an alternative imperialism'', based on Eurocentric discourse, which could also be called a post-colonialist'' strategy. The writer of this thesis seeks to show that European influences, exercised by the EU exerting as a Normative Power, are only the tip of the iceberg'' of the hegemonic process. In practical terms, the effects of the Bologna Process on Chilean and Mexican HE can be observed in the process of strengthening of the role of state and HE institutions. Specifically, this is seen in the design of public policies and the planning of institutional policies through formal mechanisms such as the development of specific policies and the execution of institutional adjustments. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This paper applies imitation theory to the problem of domestic violence. The original research examines the effects of exposure to violent football games and exposure to media accounts of violence by players off the field on incidence rates for domestic violence. The link between viewing violent sports and spectator violence is also discussed. Data from the Lincoln Family Violence Council of Lincoln, Nebraska are used, as well as articles from the Lincoln Journal Star newspaper. Multiple classification analysis was used to test the hypotheses. Limited support for imitation effects on domestic violence is shown by this research. Incidents of domestic violence are more frequent on days that articles appeared in the paper relating to incidents of violence by football players off the field than other days when seasonal and weekly fluctuations are controlled. Implications of the findings are discussed and recommendations for further research, identified. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the 20th and 21st centuries many governments of developing countries have been lured by tourism as a quick mechanism for development. This has often involved a trade-off between the pursuit of economic wealth and support for the social, cultural and natural environments. The negative impacts of mass tourism in developing countries are countless and well documented. This book outlines how these impacts can be mitigated by the development of community-based tourism. Taking a market segmentation approach, it conceptualises a sustainable ecotrekking industry through the alignment of community and tourists needs. Ecotrekking, as a form of community-based tourism, can play a vital role in development if the right market segment is targeted to meet the needs of the community. Generally this ensures a slower rate of development, giving the community time to adjust to the changes that occur at both a socio-cultural and infrastructural level. The book presents a case study of the Kokoda Track, Papua New Guinea to explore these concepts and the results provide a framework for communities and destination managers in developing countries in developing sustainable tourism. 112 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Since 1999, the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) regulates under the name 'Top Runner Program' 21 consumer product markets by obliging all manufacturers of a same product category to meet at least the highest energy efficiency performance available in the market at the time of standard setting. This study extends previous literature by reviewing economic arguments for and against energy efficiency policies and conducting a positive welfare analysis based on industrial organization theory. It turns out that, although the existence of market failures might justify market intervention to decrease energy consumption, it is much less clear whether energy efficiency standards are a suitable instrument to achieve this goal. Theoretical results of this study give an indication on likely winners and losers of the regulation, challenge the proposition that energy efficiency standards necessarily lead to a decrease in energy consumption in the relevant market and reveal some possibly unintended economic, environmental and distributive consequences. 92 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The development of endogenous growth theory has opened an avenue through which the effects of taxation on economic growth can be explored. Explicit modeling of the individual decisions that contribute to growth allows the analysis of tax incidence and the prediction of growth effects. This study, titled 'Effects of Taxation on Economic Growth (Uganda s Experience: 1987-2005)', reviews the theoretical and empirical evidence to assess how taxation affects the rate of economic growth in Uganda. In the methodology for this study, labour, capital, government consumption and revenue from the different tax components were used as the explanatory variables against GDP as the explained variable. Estimates of this study only reflect the cost of a combined tax and expenditure system and ignore effects caused by political decisions, corruption and other redistribution policies. 88 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book Non-timber Forest Products (NTFPs) and Domestication provides an insight into the potentiality of cultivation of NTFPs in cultivated land in place of agro-crops. Based on a structured questionnaire survey and some secondary documents this book has sought to explore the perception of smallholder farmers whether or not the NTFPs could be an alternative to existing agro-crops. The book deals with constraints and opportunities, market opportunities and risks with regards to promotion (domestication) of NTFPs in the cultivated land. The book also throws light on whether or not the existing policies are favourable to NTFPs domestication at farm level. Findings suggest that farmers are very much willing to cultivate NTFPs in their farmland in place of agro-crops. They perceive NTFPs more profitable and environmentally desirable than agro-crops since NTFPs requires less input than agro-crops. But farmers are reluctant to adopt domestication extensively because of market risks and Lack of direct access of farmers to the big trading companies is another constraint posed to expensive cultivation of NTFPs in the farm land. 108 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The recognition of language right under international human rights law has been a delicate issue for long. Availing this gap, states failed to respect and adopt appropriate measures that ensure the use of one s own language at least at a certain possible level. The absence of comprehensibly agreed international human rights law on linguistic rights, political and economic dilemmas, inter alia, are all used as an excuse for the failure of most states to recognize and respect language rights. Thus, this book strives to critically analyze the various arguments that can firmly establish the recognition of the right to language under international human rights law. Various international treaties and soft laws that can be used to protect linguistic rights either directly or indirectly are analyzed. Moreover, an attempt is made to reveal the extent of protection and recognition accorded to linguistic rights in Mauritius as well as under the linguistic and ethnic form of Ethiopian Federalism. This book will serve the need and interest human rights researchers, human right activists, legal practitioners, politicians and students of politics. 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -To prevent disease outbreaks and increase competitiveness of U.S. shrimp products, U.S. aquaculture researchers have developed super-intensive, bio-secure, recirculating shrimp production systems since the early 1990s. The general objective of this research is to determine an optimal production strategy to maximize the net revenue for the system. An inventory optimization model was built to determine the optimal harvesting week, shrimp size, and number of crops per year for experimental trials conducted at Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Waddell Maricultural Center, and Oceanic Institute. Survival rate and price sensitivity analyses were conducted to see their impact on the system s net revenue. The optimal harvesting week solved by this model is determined by shrimp growth and feed functions. Price and survival rate can affect the value of net revenue, but do not impact the optimal harvesting week. Shrimp producers can use the developed inventory optimization model and results to manage their operations. 76 pp. Englisch.…
