It also collects essays from the leading experts on the social function of property in major civil and common law jurisdictions internationally.

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 Empire and Catastrophe written by Spencer D. Segalla and published by . This book was released on 2023-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empire and Catastrophe examines natural and anthropogenic disasters during the years of decolonization in Algeria, Morocco, and France and explores how environmental catastrophes both shaped and were shaped by struggles over the dissolution of France's empire in North Africa. Four disasters make up the core of the book: the 1954 earthquake in Algeria's Chélif Valley, just weeks before the onset of the Algerian Revolution; a mass poisoning in Morocco in 1959 caused by toxic substances from an American military base; the 1959 Malpasset Dam collapse in Fréjus, France, which devastated the town's Algerian immigrant community but which was blamed on Algerian sabotage; and the 1960 earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, which set off a public relations war between the United States, France, and the Soviet Union and which ignited a Moroccan national debate over modernity, identity, architecture, and urban planning. Interrogating distinctions between agent and environment and between political and environmental violence through the lenses of state archives and through the remembered experiences and literary representations of disaster survivors, Spencer D. Segalla argues for the integration of environmental events into narratives of political and cultural decolonization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La Stratégie fédérale de développement durable présente l'engagement du gouvernement à renforcer l'application d'évaluations environnementales stratégiques (ESS). Cette mesure améliorera la prise en compte des préoccupations environnementales lors de la prise de décisions économiques ou sociales en appliquant les objectifs et cibles de la Stratégie fédérale de développement durable lorsqu'on entreprend des évaluations environnementales stratégiques, lorsqu'on signale les résultats des évaluations environnementales stratégiques dans les Rapports ministériels sur le rendement (RMR), et lorsqu'on décrit le rôle d'une proposition dans l'atteinte des objectifs et cibles de la Stratégie fédérale de développement durable dans les déclarations publiques des évaluations environnementales stratégiques. Les objectifs, cibles et stratégies de mise en oeuvre définis dans l'Annexe donnent une description détaillée des activités du gouvernement fédéral sous chaque en-tête; ainsi, il est possible pour la première fois de visualiser toutes les activités à un seul endroit. La Stratégie fédérale de développement durable décrit en détail la manière dont les ministères produiront leurs rapports à l'aide du système de gestion des dépenses et ce à quoi leurs Rapports sur les plans et les priorités (RPP) et Rapports ministériels sur le rendement (RMR) ressembleront à l'aide des objectifs et cibles de la Stratégie. Elle illustre la manière dont les Indicateurs canadiens de durabilité de l'environnement (ICDE) seront utilisés pour signaler les progrès effectués dans l'atteinte des objectifs et des cibles. Le premier rapport d'étape est planifié pour le printemps 2011."--Document.
