Download or read book Crying Out for Change written by Deepa Narayan-Parker and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multi-country research initiative to understand poverty from the eyes of the poor, the Voices of the Poor project was undertaken to inform the World Bank's activities and the upcoming World Development Report 2000/01. The research findings are being published in three books: "Can Anyone Hear Us?" gathers the voices of over 40,000 poor women and men in 50 countries from the World Bank's participatory poverty assessments (Deepa Narayan, Raj Patel, Kai Schafft, Anne Rademacher, and Sarah Koch-Schulte, authors). "Crying Out for Change" pulls together new field work conducted in 1999 in 23 countries (Deepa Narayan, Robert Chambers, Meera Shah, and Patti Petesch, authors). "From Many Lands" offers regional patterns and country case-studies (Deepa Narayan and Patti Petesch, editors). Voices of the Poor marks the first time such an exercise has been undertaken in so many developing countries and transition economies around the world. It provides a unique and detailed picture of the life of the poor and explains the constraints poor people face to escape from poverty in a way that more traditional survey techniques do not capture well. Each of the three volumes demonstrates the importance of voice and power in poor people's definition of poverty. Voices of the Poor concludes that we need to expand our conventional views of poverty which focus on income expenditure, education, and health to include measures of voice and empowerment.

Download or read book Thin Blue written by Jonny Steinberg and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2010-11-22 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A country is policed only to the extent that it consents to be. When that consent is withheld, cops either negotiate or withdraw. Once they do this, however, they are no longer police; their role becomes something far murkier. Several months before they exploded into xenophobic violence, Jonny Steinberg travelled the streets of Alexandra, Reiger Park and other Johannesburg townships with police patrols. His mission was to discover the unwritten rules of engagement emerging between South Africa's citizens and its new police force. In this provocative new book, Steinberg argues that policing in crowded urban space is like theatre. Only here, the audience writes the script, and if the police don't perform the right lines, the spectators throw them off the stage. In vivid and eloquent prose, Steinberg takes us into the heart of this drama, and picks apart the rules South Africans have established for the policing of their communities. What emerges is a lucid and original account of a much larger matter: the relationship between ordinary South Africans and the government they have elected to rule them. The government and its people are like scorned lovers, Steinberg argues: their relationship, brittle, moody, untrusting and ultimately very needy.

Download or read book The Real War written by Richard Nixon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this landmark 1980 bestseller, Richard Nixon presents an effective analysis of strategic shortcomings and a prescription for renewed strength. Nixon’s tough-minded views discussed in this book became a blueprint for Ronald Reagan’s military buildup and strategic initiatives—which ultimately paved the way for the end of the Cold War. Highly relevant to contemporary times, Nixon argues persuasively that America must assume a role of global leadership to make sure the war of annihilation never happens. The economic, material, and technological capacities to prevail are not enough, he cautions, without the resolve of national will. He utilizes the lessons of history—from the Mongolian invasion of Russia to the revolution in Iran—to instruct the future. From his unique perspective as the former chief executive of the nation, he tells us how we can use our political, economic, and military strengths to turn the tide.

Download or read book Safire s Political Dictionary written by William Safire and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-31 with total page 887 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to the vagaries of language in American politics, its uses and abuses, its absurdities and ever-shifting nuances, its power to confound, obscure, and occasionally to inspire, William Safire is the language maven we most readily turn to for clarity, guidance, and penetrating, sometimes lacerating, wit. Safire's Political Dictionary is a stem-to-stern updating and expansion of the Language of Politics, which was first published in 1968 and last revised in 1993, long before such terms as Hanging Chads, 9/11 and the War on Terror became part of our everyday vocabulary. Nearly every entry in that renowned work has been revised and updated and scores of completely new entries have been added to produce an indispensable guide to the political language being used and abused in America today. Safire's definitions--discursive, historically aware, and often anecdotal--bring a savvy perspective to our colorful political lingo. Indeed, a Safire definition often reads like a mini-essay in political history, and readers will come away not only with a fuller understanding of particular words but also a richer knowledge of how politics works, and fails to work, in America. From Axis of Evil, Blame Game, Bridge to Nowhere, Triangulation, and Compassionate Conservatism to Islamofascism, Netroots, Earmark, Wingnuts and Moonbats, Slam Dunk, Doughnut Hole, and many others, this language maven explains the origin of each term, how and by whom and for what purposes it has been used or twisted, as well as its perceived and real significance. For anyone who wants to cut through the verbal haze that surrounds so much of American political discourse, Safire's Political Dictionary offers a work of scholarship, wit, insiderhood and resolute bipartisanship.

Download or read book L indemnisation des victimes d accidents de la circulation en Europe written by Collectif, and published by Primento. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À une époque où, à l’intérieur de l’Union européenne, la circulation automobile s’effectue pratiquement sans obstacle d’un pays à l’autre, et où les frontières sont presque invisibles, il peut paraître paradoxal que les règles d’indemnisation des victimes d’accidents automobiles restent profondément différentes d’un pays à l’autre. Alors que certains pays ont mis en place des régimes d’indemnisation spécifiques, d’autres continuent d’appliquer les règles du droit commun de la responsabilité civile, plus ou moins favorables aux victimes. Le présent ouvrage, issu d’un séminaire organisé à Luxembourg les 14 et 15 décembre 2012 par le Groupe européen de recherche sur la responsabilité civile et l’assurance (GRERCA) avec le concours du Groupe de droit privé européen de l’Université du Luxembourg, dresse pour la première fois un état des lieux mettant en évidence les ressemblances et les divergences en la matière entre les principaux droits nationaux des pays d’Europe, tant en ce qui concerne les conditions et l’étendue du droit à indemnisation que la mise en oeuvre procédurale et le rôle de l’assurance. Les présentations théoriques des différents systèmes sont illustrées par la résolution comparative d’un certain nombre de cas pratiques.

Download or read book La responsabilit civile written by Franz Werro and published by Stämpfli Verlag. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le droit de la responsabilité civile précise à quelles conditions et selon quelles modalités une personne est tenue de réparer le dommage causé à autrui. Il occupe ainsi une place centrale en droit des obligations, aussi bien dans la sanction du délit que dans celle de l'inexécution du contrat. Le droit de la responsabilité civile joue par ailleurs un rôle charnière en droit des accidents: c'est lui qui détermine la solution du conflit entre l'assurance de la victime et celle du responsable. Enrichi par de nouvelles illustrations, la troisième édition de ce précis entend offrir aux étudiant(e)s et aux praticien(ne)s une présentation aussi simple et complète que possible de la matière. Il met l'accent sur les responsabilités prévues dans le Code des obligations (art. 41 ss CO), mais contient également une analyse détaillée de certaines responsabilités du Code civil (art. 333 et 679 CC). L'ouvrage traite aussi de la responsabilité du détenteur d'un véhicule automobile (art. 58 ss LCR) et de celle du fabricant d'un produit défectueux (art. 1 ss LRFP). Les liens avec le droit des assurances font en outre l'objet d'une présentation ponctuelle. La présente édition prend en compte la jurisprudence fédérale et la doctrine jusqu'au 31 juillet 2017.

Ont été également ajoutées diverses dispositions relatives à la responsabilité des services financiers. Les dispositions nouvelles et les développements en vue font l'objet de notes. En introduction figure un bref aperçu des principes de la responsabilité civile. L'index à onglets, complété par une liste alphabétique des lois, facilite la recherche des textes. Ce recueil rendra service à tous ceux qui ont affaire avec la responsabilité civile : tribunaux, avocates et avocats, assurances, administrations, entreprises, ainsi qu'aux étudiantes et étudiants qu'il aidera dans leurs premiers pas dans la jungle de la responsabilité civile, qu'aucune révision générale ne devrait défricher ces prochaines années.
