Book The Demographic Dividend

Download or read book The Demographic Dividend written by David Bloom and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2003-02-13 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place. The report also examines specific regions of the world and how their differing policy environments have affected the relationship between population change and economic development.

Book Rule of Law  Human Rights and Judicial Control of Power

Download or read book Rule of Law Human Rights and Judicial Control of Power written by Rainer Arnold and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judicial control of public power ensures a guarantee of the rule of law. This book addresses the scope and limits of judicial control at the national level, i.e. the control of public authorities, and at the supranational level, i.e. the control of States. It explores the risk of judicial review leading to judicial activism that can threaten the principle of the separation of powers or the legitimate exercise of state powers. It analyzes how national and supranational legal systems have embodied certain mechanisms, such as the principles of reasonableness, proportionality, deference and margin of appreciation, as well as the horizontal effects of human rights that help to determine how far a judge can go. Taking a theoretical and comparative view, the book first examines the conceptual bases of the various control systems and then studies the models, structural elements, and functions of the control instruments in selected countries and regions. It uses country and regional reports as the basis for the comparison of the convergences and divergences of the implementation of control in certain countries of Europe, Latin America, and Africa. The book’s theoretical reflections and comparative investigations provide answers to important questions, such as whether or not there are nascent universal principles concerning the control of public power, how strong the impact of particular legal traditions is, and to what extent international law concepts have had harmonizing and strengthening effects on internal public-power control.

Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Book Latin America in Times of Global Environmental Change

Download or read book Latin America in Times of Global Environmental Change written by Cristian Lorenzo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses the challenges of Latin America in global environmental geopolitics. Written by leading experts, this book brings together Latin American research on global environmental change. They cover a range of topics such as climate change, water, forest and biodiversity conservation connected with science policies, public opinion, priorities of international funds, and international politics of Latin American countries. The book describes the discrepancy between the international priorities and the regional needs or country interests. It includes several case studies and analyses the cooperation in multilateral negotiations on climate change. It also offers a synthesis of debates around global environmental changes and Latin American politics, which the authors have previously promoted in different academic events in South America, including in Santiago de Chile in Chile, and Buenos Aires and Ushuaia in Argentina. This book assesses the environmental problems from different perspectives, highlights the scientific development in the environmental changes affecting Latin America and offers a new view on geopolitics to help face those issues. Specialist readers in international relations, political sciences, environmental sciences, geography and geopolitics will appreciate this up-to-date examination of Latin America and the global environmental change.

Book Distributive Justice in Transitions

Download or read book Distributive Justice in Transitions written by Morten Bergsmo and published by Torkel Opsahl Academic EPublisher. This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters of this book explore, from different disciplinary perspectives, the relationship between transitional justice, distributive justice, and economic efficiency in the settlement of internal armed conflicts. They specifically discuss the role of land reform as an instrument of these goals, and examine how the balance between different perspectives has been attempted (or not) in selected cases of internal armed conflicts, and how it should be attempted in principle. Although most chapters closely examine the Colombian case, some provide a comparative perspective that includes countries in Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe, while others examine some of the more general, theoretical issues involved.

Book La fronti  re Mexique   tats Unis

Download or read book La fronti re Mexique tats Unis written by Pierre Gondard and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Y a-t-il un ou plusieurs modèles frontaliers ? Cette frontière entre Mexique et États-Unis est-elle une ligne ou un espace ? Voici quelques questions qui furent la ligne directrice de la table ronde La frontière Mexique - États-Unis, mutations économiques, sociales et territoriales, tenue les 9 et 10 novembre 1993, organisée par le CNRS, l’Orstom et le MESR (Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche). Cet ouvrage, qui retranscrit l’événement, donne à voir les mutations en cours de la frontière entre le Mexique et les États-Unis, et révèle les changements observés dans les zones de la frontière nord. Les changements historiques, comme l’ouverture des frontières en 1965, la création des maquiladoras – usines d’assemblages pour les entreprises étrangères –, l’entrée du Mexique dans le Gatt en 1986, et surtout la signature en 1992 de l’accord de libre-échange nord-américain (États-Unis, Canada, Mexique), ont engendré des modifications importantes sur le fonctionnement frontalier. L’ouvrage est donc séparé en trois parties distinctes. Tout d’abord les mutations économiques avec de nouveaux modes de production, ensuite l’analyse des changements sociodémographiques, et enfin les mutations territoriales avec des approches géographique, économique et sociopolitique. Une vingtaine d’auteurs se sont attelé à ce travail, dont notamment Hélène Rivière d’Arc (Les réseaux d’entrepreneurs dans le Nord du Mexique ont-ils besoin de l’État), Daniel Delaunay (Quelques identités démographiques de la frontera norte mexicaine), ainsi que des auteurs hispaniques comme Guillermo Aramburo (Transmigración legal en la frontera México-Estados Unidos).
