Conflicts over Land &, Water in Africa

2008 y.
Publisher: Michigan State Univ Pr
Description: This is an examination of the broader context for the re-emergence of land reform and resource conflicts in Africa. Efforts to change the race based systems of land ownership and land tenure in Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe have pushed land issues to the forefront of social and economic discourses in Africa. This collection examines the broader context for the re- emergence of land reform and resource conflicts. The case studies examine the links between identity maintenance, tenurial changes, state intervention, and forms and modes of conflict. The authors emphasize the need for a deeper understanding of local histories, cultures, and motivations if efforts to attain a more just distribution of resources are to succeed. The book contributes to a field that has been developing rapidly in the decade since the publication of Melissa Leach and Robin Mearns` collection The Lie of the Land and Mahmood Mamdani`s Citizen and Subject. Those two books started a wide ranging… [detailed...]

Cameron Davis
Confluence: Genoir of an American Family

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: It’s started as little more than a legend. A grandfather tells his grandson that he once saw a copy of a letter from Abraham Lincoln decades ago. It had been on the back of the post office door in Salem, Illinois. That small mention set into motion a nearly two-decade search by the grandson for the letter. And what he finds is stunning: not only was the letter real, but it was one of many encounters in what turned out to be a friendship between two old Illinois lawyers and friends that spanned from just after statehood until the martyred president’s assassination. But, that was just the beginning. Probing further back then forward in time, Cameron Davis found that his family was far more involved in America’s history than he ever could have guessed as a boy, when his grandfather first told him about the letter. Better than historical fiction, this genealogical memoir is the first of a new genre: the Genoir™. [detailed...]

Conformal Differential Geometry: Q-Curvature and Conformal Holonomy (Oberwolfach Seminars)

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Conformal invariants (conformally invariant tensors, conformally covariant differential operators, conformal holonomy groups etc.) are of central significance in differential geometry and physics. Well-known examples of such operators are the Yamabe-, the Paneitz-, the Dirac- and the twistor operator. The aim of the seminar was to present the basic ideas and some of the recent developments around Q-curvature and conformal holonomy. The part on Q-curvature discusses its origin, its relevance in geometry, spectral theory and physics. Here the influence of ideas which have their origin in the AdS/CFT-correspondence becomes visible. The part on conformal holonomy describes recent classification results, its relation to Einstein metrics and to conformal Killing spinors, and related special geometries. [detailed...]

Conformal Field Theory with Gauge Symmetry (Fields Institute Monographs)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book presents a systematic approach to conformal field theory with gauge symmetry from the point of view of complex algebraic geometry. After presenting the basic facts of the theory of compact Riemann surfaces and the representation theory of affine Lie algebras in Chapters 1 and 2, conformal blocks for pointed Riemann surfaces with coordinates are constructed in Chapter 3. In Chapter 4 the sheaf of conformal blocks associated to a family of pointed Riemann surfaces with coordinates is constructed, and in Chapter 5 it is shown that this sheaf supports a projective flat connection--one of the most important facts of conformal field theory. Chapter 6 is devoted to the study of the detailed structure of the conformal field theory over $\mathbb{P}^1$. Recently it was shown that modular functors can be constructed from conformal field theory, giving an interesting relationship between algebraic geometry and topological quantum field theory. This book provides a timely introduction to… [detailed...]

Confronting Consumption

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Comforting terms such as `sustainable development` and `green production` frame environmental debate by stressing technology (not green enough), economic growth (not enough in the right places), and population (too large). Concern about consumption emerges, if at all, in benign ways--as calls for green purchasing or more recycling, or for small changes in production processes. Many academics, policymakers, and journalists, in fact, accept the economists view of consumption as nothing less than the purpose of the economy. Yet many people have a troubled, intuitive understanding that tinkering at the margins of production and purchasing will not put society on an ecologically and socially sustainable path. Confronting Consumption placesconsumption at the center of debate by conceptualizing `the consumption problem` and documenting diverse efforts to confront it. In Part 1, the book frames consumption as a problem of political and ecological economy, emphasizing core… [detailed...]

Description: There is a current policy vacuum relating to the extent of educators` legal responsibilities to intervene when cyber-bullying and anti-authority student expression takes place outside of school hours and school grounds on home computers and personal cell phones. Students, teachers, and school officials are often targets of such expression.

Confronting Globalization: The Quest for a Social Agenda (Bulletin of Comparative Labour Relations)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThere is mounting evidence that the economic globalisation project initiated after the fall of the Soviet Union is not keeping its promise of open societies and a freer exchange of goods, knowledge, ideas and more social justice. In fact,there are strong indications that such benefits are not equally divided, so between north and south and developed and developing countries. Responding to this evidence, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) established the World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalisation in February 2002. In February 2004, following numerous international and regional conferences and consultations, the Commission s report, A Fair Globalization: Creating Opportunities for All, was presented to the GoverningBody of the International Labour Organization, to the Secretary General of the United Nations, and to the heads of other UN agencies, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization.

Confronting Income Inequality in Japan: A Comparative Analysis of Causes, Consequences, and Reform

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Contrary to general belief, and to Japan`s own self-image, inequality of income and wealth distribution in Japan has grown in the past two decades. In this well-written and accessible book, Toshiaki Tachibanaki analyzes the movement toward more income inequality in Japan and offers policy recommendations to counter the trend. Tachibanaki, Japan`s leading expert on income distribution, draws on new statistical data covering wealth, inheritance, farm and business holdings, salary, and other relevant factors, to demonstrate that Japan can no longer be thought of as a `90 percent middle-class society.` The book, updated and substantially expanded from Tachibanaki`s 1998 Japanese bestseller, discusses the history and the causes of Japan`s increasing income inequality and analyzes the effect on wealth distribution of intergenerational transfer. Employing cross-national comparisons to the United States and Europe throughout, Confronting Income Inequality in Japan examines… [detailed...]

Description: Although Iraq remains hostile to the United States, Baghdad has repeatedly compromised, and at times caved, in response to U.S. pressure and threats. An analysis of attempts to coerce Iraq since Desert Storm reveals that military strikes and other forms of pressure that threatened Saddam Husayn`s relationship with his power base proved effective at forcing concessions from the Iraqi regime. When coercing Saddam or other foes, U.S. policymakers should design a strategy around the adversary`s `center of gravity` while seeking to neutralize adversary efforts to counter-coerce the United States and appreciating the policy constraints imposed by domestic politics and international alliances.

Description: With a groundbreaking, interdisciplinary approach to German political and social theory, Confronting Mass Democracy and Industrial Technology provides fresh insight into the thought of many of the most influential intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Its essays detail the manner in which a wide range of German intellectuals grappled with the ramifications and implications of democracy, technology, knowledge, and control from the late Kaisserreich to the Weimar Republic, from the Third Reich andthe Federal Republic through recently unified Germany. Scholars representing the fields of political science, philosophy, history, law, literature, and cultural studies devote essays to the work of Nietzsche, Weber, Heidegger, Lukacs, Schmitt, Marcuse, Adorno, and Habermas. They also discuss the writings of such figures as Brecht and Freud, who are not primarily thought of as political theorists, and explore the thought of Helmut Plessner and reformist theorists from East… [detailed...]

Confronting Patriarchy: Psychoanalytic Theory in the Prose of Cristina Peri Rossi (Latin America: Interdisciplinary Studies)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Confronting Patriarchy: Psychoanalytic Theory in the Prose of Cristina Peri Rossi examines three works of the contemporary Uruguayan author who lives in exile as she dialogues with the psychoanalytic discourse endemic to patriarchal society. Peri Rossis prose, structured like unconscious productions that give free expression to desire and passion as emanating from the forbidden recesses of the psyche, powerfully reveals the message as a treatment for an ill society. The language in the three works studied facilitates and reveals the male protagonists interaction with the desired female object as a regression to a semiotic, pre-oedipal state in a type of return of the repressed of consuming desire that has been written out of mainstream patriarchy and that serves to challenge its rational, symbolic order. It is from this vantage point that the author attempts to re-write the conclusions obtained through Lacanian and patriarchal discourse so that woman can emerge as a subject in her… [detailed...]

Confronting the Chaos: A Rogue Military Historian Returns to Afghanistan

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: While there is a vast amount of literature available on Iraqi operations, until now little has been written about the counterinsurgency and stabilization operations in Afghanistan. With this book, a Canadian military historian, who has observed field operations in Afghanistan since 2003, offers a clear view of what is happening in that country. It is the first to look at units unknown to most Americans the provincial reconstruction teams, the embedded training teams, the strategic advisory team, among others--that helped the Afghan people establish a government. Working shoulder-to shoulder with Afghans at all levels of society and at great personal risk, these international teams, the author argues, helped stave off a civil war and prevented the insurgents from exploiting the chaos. The author observed the efforts of these teams as they unfolded in 2004 and 2005. His personal story takes readers on a journey from Badkashan province, the exotic and poppy-laden land in the north, to… [detailed...]

Confronting the Crisis in Urban Poverty: Making Integrated Approaches Work (Urban Management Series)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: * An up-to-date analysis of the problem and characteristics of urban poverty in developing countries * Addresses the political challenge of the low profile of urban development in current global debates This book presents a systematic comparative analysis of a range of integrated approaches to urban development supported and promoted by leading NGOs. It asks how successful have these been in tackling the multi-dimensional nature of urban poverty, when compared with neighbouring settlements where no interventions have taken place? Was the approach cost-effective, and what is the potential for spreading the approach? The challenge of urban poverty is growing every year. It is predicted that over 95% of global population growth between 2000 and 2030 will take place in the cities of the developing world. If current trends continue, the huge majority of those will end up in slums. Tackling urban poverty, however, has had a lower profile than other Millenium… [detailed...]

Confucian Tradition &, Global Education

2007 y.
Publisher: Columbia University Press
Description: Drawn from a series of lectures that Wm.Theodore de Bary delivered in honor of the Chinese philosopher Tang Junyi, `Confucian Tradition and Global Education` is a unique synthesis of essay and debate concerning the future of Chinese education and the potential political uses of Confucianism in the contemporary world. Rapid modernization and the rise of English as a global language increasingly threaten East Asia`s cultural diversity and long-standing Confucian traditions. De Bary argues that keeping Confucianism alive in China is not only a matter of `Chinese identity,` but also a critical part of achieving a multicultural global education. Scholars take different views on what is worth preserving in Confucian tradition, and whether it is possible for the classical teachings to remain relevant in today`s high-tech educational environment. De Bary and his contributors assert that the Chinese classics are the key to this survival, and therefore their inclusion in a global… [detailed...]
