Neuware -The term money laundering brings to our mind those nefarious activities of criminals who provide an envelope to slush funds in order to exhibit those as genuine money. As per an estimate of the IMF, the aggregate size of money laundering in the world could be somewhere between two and five percent of the world s GDP. Money-laundering has acquired a global character that not only threatens security, but also compromises the stability, transparency, and efficiency of financial systems. Money-laundering techniques are becoming more sophisticated and complex with each passing day. Across the world, financial institutions such as banks, insurers, and securities are usually considered in the front line in the war against illicit money movements. Therefore, they are required to introduce and implement systems to prevent such anti-social elements from using banking channels for money laundering. As part of this process Ethiopia has promulgated a law against money laundering and this book has made an in-depth analysis of the laws in this perspective vis-a-vis international tenets. 132 pp. Englisch.

While most discussions focus on the outsourcing of software services and the call centre phenomenon, it is virtually unknown that the country is also the global hub for outsourced book publishing services. Trends show that India s capabilities for serving academic, scientific and technical publishers are the most highly developed. But outsourcing is about much more than cutting costs, or improving service and quality. As overseas clients and Indian suppliers discover, the service relation is ultimately a social one. Both parties bring to it their cultural constitution, their desire for control or a degree of creative freedom, their differing perceptions about the outsourced work, their sense of their own worth, and sometimes, their personal prejudices. With certain academic publishers in the UK and publishing services vendors in India as its field of study, and combining academic theory with empirical findings, this book explores the attitudes and assumptions that could make or break the service relation. 88 pp. Englisch.

To reduce poverty and to attain sustainable economic growth, it is imperative for Bangladesh to develop industries so that a growing labor force can be absorbed into non-farm industrial activities, since agriculture sector in Bangladesh has already been over populated and suffering from the problems of disguised and seasonal unemployment. However, there is no consensus on how to develop industries in rural areas of developing countries.

These include shelter, subsistence incomes, services such as water, energy, neighbourhood security, wastewater removal and transportation. Indeed, the pervasiveness of informalism has reduced the scope of formal management to a very small sphere of urban life. These informal dynamics are not only largely outside the reach of formal management systems of urban governments, but the present relationship of the urban poor to authorities is also one of negative engagement . Whether fighting eviction, stealing electricity or water, or resisting regulation or taxes, it is this negative engagement that stands out as a prominent issue for municipalities and other authorities. The main point that emerges from the many accounts of negative engagement and disengagement is that the modern state is rapidly ceasing to be an embodiment of civil society and protector of the poor, week and oppressed. s already indicated, it appears as if the modern state cannot secure living conditions for the majority that are socially, economically and politically just. 92 pp. Englisch.

In Ghana particularly in the informal sector municipal governments have created a forum for the inclusion of major stakeholders with the objective of ensuring positive outcomes and sustainability of projects. Regardless of this attempt at beneficiary participation however, evidence on patronage and use of such projects after their implementation have in several cases fallen way below the intended targets and threatened their sustainability. This book provides an in-depth investigation on the challenges of consolidating beneficiary participation in the planning and implementation of projects, the effects on project outcomes and the implications for community based development. It examines one of such projects in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis of Ghana by assessing the entire planning and implementation of the project, the participatory mechanisms used and the current state of the project in terms of its sustainability. 108 pp. Englisch.

The perception of the most consumers is that the relatively high price is a sign of good quality. A popular belief is: you get for what you pay for . Therefore consumers tend to believe that high price is an indicator of better quality. Although many studies conducted on price quality relationship have supported this belief, it is necessary to find the relationship to be product specific with quality among the consumers. The book Buyer Behaviour towards Price and Quality written by me has given clarity to the concept. This study aims to analyse the buyer behaviour in the context of price & quality on Durable product, Semi-durable product & Non durable product. This study may help the manufactures to modify their product quality according to consumer s expectations and also increase the sales. It has reviewed all relevant literature relating to the topic.

As a result of this, many companies are trying to incorporate these concepts in their business models or in their logic of value creation to various stakeholders. In this study, the authors regard strategy and business models as different constructs and argue that institutional pressures from NGOs and other governing bodies and associations as postulated by the Total Responsibility Management school of thought (encouraging the adoption of a good sense of CSR and CG) can be viewed as one of the inspirations behind the contingencies that affect a firm s (one which advocates this CSR business philosophy) intended strategy.Thus, making a firm s reactive CSR and CG compliance practices these contingencies.The authors use a case study approach of IKEA that greatly seems to advocate this concept of CSR and CG.The authors conclude this study with an argument that though reactive CG and CSR practices are good, a company that claims to incorporate the CSR philosophy in its business model or vision must also be proactive in its application. 76 pp. Englisch.

This book studies the classical work of Ibn Qutaybah s Uyun al-Akhbar (Springs of Narratives), which was written within 9th century, with special focus on its first volume Kitab al-Sultan (Book of Authority). It therefore discusses and expounds systematically the Islamic political ethics presented in it as a response towards contemporary political misconduct that overwhelm Muslim worlds such as corruption, oppression, abuse of authority, etc. Along with Kitab al-Sultan as refinement and remedy for contemporary political paucity, the author s message is to show that the essential notion of contemporary Islamic polity that has been lost is that the inner heart, which should be put in serious consideration. It is due to the restoration of Islamic values could not be captured unless it must start from each single Muslim to refine his Iman (belief). 108 pp. Englisch.

It focuses on partnerships that are stirring into governance issues of the host country: how a MNC and a host government can implement a successful collaboration that aims to promote capacity building in the host country. The case of study is BP in Azerbaijan. It investigates the background and the circumstances that led to the partnership between BP and its host government in Azerbaijan. The thesis resulted into four main findings: (1) the societal background and the morality and virtue of a MNC determine its decision to engage into PPP for capacity building. (2) The MNC and the host government are more willing to engage in partnership if the expected value-added of the cooperation exceed the disadvantages created by the current governance failure. (3) Protection of its investment seems to be a stronger driver for a MNC to enter a PPP aiming at capacity building rather than the wish for stability in the host country. (4) High bargaining power coupled with a persuasive influence act more as stronger driver in engagement to PPP than the support from the industry. 104 pp. Englisch.

The study finally concludes that decentralization in waste management is crucial for developing countries as it allows room for wider stakeholders involvement in private and public sectors. There is also no alternative to innovation in converting waste to resources coupled with practical and workable legal arrangements.The book will prove useful to scholars and researchers in the area of local governance and Solid Waste Management particularly for those interested in Decentralization issues. 72 pp. Englisch.

The study identified the root cause of conflicts in the area, ascertained the outcomes in affecting social economic and political development and also identified possible strategies that are hoped to be adopted and those that had already been adopted to reconcile land claims conflicts in the region. Findings indicated that most ethnic minority groups in Uganda depend on traditional ancestral lands and they have a significant attachment for their survival. Most of them have been dispossessed of their land rights which make them unruly and violent in an effort to regain them. Conclusion was made and various recommendations were put forward. 84 pp. Englisch.

The loss due to pest is estimated to be 30 to 35 % of the total production.Farmers have been using synthetic chemical pesticides in the hope of reducing loss due to insects and pests damages and to increase the productivity. This has several implications and impacts on the consumable agricultural products, human health, soil, and water condition. Therefore, an alternative solution is urgently needed for pest control, which is safe for health and environment, cheaper and can help to solve the problems of pests of vegetables. There is great potentiality of using Tharu ethnobotanical knowledge on botanical pesticides in Nepal and the prospect for wide adoption of by the Nepalese farmers is quite high. This book would be helpful for researchers to develop effective methodologies and procedures especially in the field of ethnobotany and organic pest management system. Similarly, it would be also helpful to students, academicians and any one who is interested in ethnobotany and organic pest management. 84 pp. Englisch.
