Описание: In 2018, island-monkeys Becca and Louise got invited to Valletta, the European Capital of Culture in Malta. They thought they were going to drink rum with Brits abroad, celebrating their final year as Europeans, and make a play. Instead they found corruption, hypocrisy, and murder in the fight to be European.

Описание:

The “migration-displacement nexus” is a new concept intended to capture the complex and dynamic interactions between voluntary and forced migration, both internally and internationally. Besides elaborating a new concept, this volume has three main purposes: the first is to focus empirical attention on previously understudied topics, such as internal trafficking and the displacement of foreign nationals, using case studies including Afghanistan and Iraq; the second is to highlight new challenges, including urban displacement and the effects of climate change; and the third is to explore gaps in current policy responses and elaborate alternatives for the future.

Описание: This is the first book to articulate resilience-based public policy for a constantly changing, complex, and uncertain risk society. Its primary focus is on operationalizing resilience, i.e., on incorporating elements of resilience in public policy in the context of our modern risk society.While there is a wealth of literature on resilience and disaster risk management, there are few publications that focus on the nexus of resilience and public policy, resulting in gaps between various fields and public policy for resilient societies and disaster risk management.
In response, this book integrates the latest theoretical insights on public policy and resilience and the latest practical analyses of case studies such as the Tohoku Disaster (Great East Japan Earthquake) in 2011 and Hurricane Sandy on the North American East Coast in 2012 to provide policy tools for future resilient societies and disaster risk management. The recent disaster cases illustrate that our changing, complex and uncertain risk environment requires far more resilience-based public policy through co-production of knowledge than is normally required for conventional disasters. By linking various fields and public policy, the book articulates a resilience-based public policy, i.e., the incorporation of resilience into various entities by designing and implementing "linkages." These include national-to-local linkages, linkages between different entities such as scientific communities and decision makers, and linkages between financial, human, and information resources. Thus, the nexus of resilience and public policy presented in this book aims at better public policy to face a changing and complex risk society, together with fundamental uncertainties at regional, national, and local levels around the world.

Описание:

An increasingly popular view holds that institutions--in particular, the rule of law--are the keys to unlocking the developing world's full growth potential. But what exactly does this mean? Which legal institutions matter and why? How can policymakers use this knowledge to promote growth? In The Law-Growth Nexus, Kenneth Dam brings five decades of experience as a legal scholar and policymaker to bear upon these questions. After reviewing the burgeoning literature on legal institutions and economic development, Dam unpacks the rule of law concept. Successive chapters analyze enforcement, contracts, and property rights--the three concepts that collectively define rule of law--and examine their roles in the real estate and financial sectors. Dam uses an extended analysis of China to assess the importance of the rule of law. This case study illustrates several of the book's central themes, including the difficulty of building a strong, independent judiciary and firstclass financial sector. The stark fact is that many parts of what we call the developing world have stopped developing, while other regions have seen a slowdown in once-promising growth. Could new or better legal institutions help jumpstart these economies? In exploring this question, Th e Law-Growth Nexus goes beyond regression results to examine the underlying mechanisms through which the law, the judiciary, and the legal profession influence the economy. The result is essential reading for analysts and policymakers facing the challenges of legal and economic reform.

Описание: The etymology of Nexum is linked to a prehistoric Roman institution of bonded slavery; 'nexus' were people living in this kind of limited enslavement. In the social sciences, it describes the emergence of plural political economies, supporting economic and political globalisation, and rendering institutions of hierarchy, dependence and domination over the most vulnerable and marginalised groups in human society. Global interconnectivity amid democratic nations advocating economic nationalism, neoconservative, and ethnocentric ideologies, policies and laws in the west and Asia has rendered greater irresolvable contradictions and inconsistencies in the pursuit of equality and justice.Global Nexus: Political Economies, Interconnectivity and the Social Sciences is a provocative critique of the social sciences in the age of neo-conservative and alt-right globalisation sweeping across modern democracies globally. The writer persuasively argues that the mainstream western social science modality of describing indigenous knowledge and sub-altern discourses as 'alternative knowledge' is due for serious review, for it describes, devalues and renders it the same renegade status as the 'alternate realities' of the alt-right, neo-conservative agencies of Western and Asian governments. Indigenous knowledge indeed has been the core source of knowledge of the social sciences but has been reduced to academic fodder as social scientists continue to utilise these sources to advance analytical constructs from western philosophical discourses. However, Indigenous discourses are now salvaged and mainstreamed by other disciplines in literature, communications, media, and investigative journalism, to propose that worldviews and ideas of the underclasses, including women, migrants, minorities, refugees, war prisoners and refugees should be brought to the fore and 'mainstreamed' for the reader to understand that the stories they tell, and their reasons why tell them, are closer to truth than fiction. These lost voices, often silenced, suppressed and understated generate new knowledge of the marginalised and disadvantaged sectors of modern society, reflecting the social realities of globalisation. The denouncement of credible, newsworthy information, data and analysis as 'fake' when these expose the diabolical, contradictory and oppressive policies of democratic governments is not a strength of the contemporary social scientist, in particular, the anthropologist, as readers turn to investigative journalists and communication specialists to expose falsities of official 'truths' perpetuated by neo-conservative, alt-right governments.The book vividly recollects global events in the first 12 months of the Trump administration in the US, and relates it to contemporary trends of neo-conservatism, ethno-centrism, racism, and misogyny, globally and in Southeast Asian democratised states in particular, suggesting that plural political economies are emerging everywhere and globally, subject to varying colonial and post-colonial histories, in reaction and response to the pursuit of wealth, power and vital global resources. In the growing phenomenon of global agencing, wealth- and poverty-generating institutions exist together in complex sets of hierarchical relationships, strategies and alliances, with dire consequences for those on the wrong side of the global spectrum.
