Book excerpt: We don’t know the exact date of the celebration we call the First Thanksgiving, but it was probably in late September or early October, soon after the Pilgrims’ crops had been harvested. The term Thanksgiving, first applied in the nineteenth century, was not used by the Pilgrims. Despite what is widely taught in schools today, the “First Thanksgiving” was not a thanks to the Indians for saving the lives of the Pilgrims; but in fact was in reverence to the blessings bestowed upon God and His gift of the abundance of their crops. God had blessed them with so much abundance that they shared it with the Indians thus strengthening their relationship with their new neighbors. This book is their story of how they fled the tyranny and persecution of the Church of England by King James rule over their religious beliefs. Many were being persecuted, imprisoned and in some cases put to death. Men, women and children, who would later be called Pilgrims, prepared themselves for a religious war – and it was at this time, in 1618, they planned their escape.

Download or read book From Early Warning to Early Action written by European Commission. DG External Relations and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's world is characterised by more conflict than ever before; last year 118 violent conflicts wreaked destruction around the globe. This book, mainly designed for NGOs, politicians, social workers, citizens and students, leads the discussion on how the European Union can use its resources to respond more effectively to the contemporary challenges in civilian crisis response. Divided into six sections, the book is a collection of texts written by experts from European Union institutions, European think-tanks and universities, as well as high-ranking officials from the European Union military staff and experts from non-governmental organisations. The texts are accompanied by beautiful pictures by professional photojournalists. Over the last two years the European Union has taken a range of steps to enhance the way it deals with international crises and natural disasters. EU financial resources for crisis response have increased more than four-fold since 2006. These resources are being used in closer cooperation and partnership with European Union Member States, NGOs and the think tank community in Europe and beyond. New ways of acting faster on the basis of early warning have been drawn up. This new book is a collection of writing illustrating the progress made in these areas against the background of discussion and input from policy experts and practitioners in the field. It builds on the range of views aired at the Commission's conference 'From Early Warning to Early action', held in November 2007, involving more than 900 diplomats, officers, practitioners, scholars and advocates, representing all facets of the network of European crisis responders. The book - one of the few comprehensive examinations of crisis response and preparedness in action - is divided into four main parts: partnership-building, mediation and peace-keeping, natural resource wars, and trans-regional threats, early-warning and intelligence. It is a follow-up to "Faster and more united?", an overview of discussion on the EU's crisis response capacity published in 2006.

Book excerpt: The collapse of Russian communism in 1991 resounded to the shudder of an empire. Soviet imperialism and empiricism was dead and lands, nations, and peoples would henceforth be free from the tyranny of the communist diktat. But it also sounded the death knell of a small, impoverished, and forgotten land-locked state in the Caucasus which had the misfortune to be of geopolitical importance. Stanley Greene's photographs in Open Wound are so powerful as to make Chechnya our responsibility. He is unashamed to use guilt, with his painter's eye, to relate the deeds of men in Chechnya to our own conduct.

Download or read book Explaining Civil Society Development written by Lester M. Salamon and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How historically rooted power dynamics have shaped the evolution of civil society globally. The civil society sector—made up of millions of nonprofit organizations, associations, charitable institutions, and the volunteers and resources they mobilize—has long been the invisible subcontinent on the landscape of contemporary society. For the past twenty years, however, scholars under the umbrella of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project have worked with statisticians to assemble the first comprehensive, empirical picture of the size, structure, financing, and role of this increasingly important part of modern life. What accounts for the enormous cross-national variations in the size and contours of the civil society sector around the world? Drawing on the project’s data, Lester M. Salamon, S. Wojciech Sokolowski, Megan A. Haddock, and their colleagues raise serious questions about the ability of the field’s currently dominant preference and sentiment theories to account for these variations in civil society development. Instead, using statistical and comparative historical materials, the authors posit a novel social origins theory that roots the variations in civil society strength and composition in the relative power of different social groupings and institutions during the transition to modernity. Drawing on the work of Barrington Moore, Dietrich Rueschemeyer, and others, Explaining Civil Society Development provides insight into the nonprofit sector’s ability to thrive and perform its distinctive roles. Combining solid data and analytical clarity, this pioneering volume offers a critically needed lens for viewing the evolution of civil society and the nonprofit sector throughout the world.
