Critical Choices. The United Nations, Networks, and the Future of Global Governance

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Making globalization sustainable has emerged as the key governance challenge for the 21st century. The new global environment requires new approaches, new ideas, and innovative tools to address new challenges in areas as different as weapons control, climate change, genetic engineering, and labour standards. Critical Choices looks at one such tool: global public policy networks. In these networks, governments, international organizations, the corporate sector, and civil society join together to achieve what none can accomplish on its own. The authors explore both the promises and the limitations of this new form of global cooperation. They discuss how such networks might contribute to better manage the risks and make use of the opportunities that globalization presents. Finally, they offer provocative advice and solid recommendations on how the United Nations can foster such networks in the years ahead. [detailed...]

Critical Concerns in Transfer Pricing and Practice

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: For multinational corporations (MNCs), there is arguably no more important operational function that affects all areas of manufacturing, marketing, management, and finance as international transfer pricing--the practicing of supplying products or services across borders from one part of the organization to another. Its complexity is compounded by the impact of e-commerce, speeding the flow of goods and services, `intangible` assets, such as intellectual property, whose value is difficult to quantify, andthe activites of policymakers around the world to update their laws and regulations, in efforts to close loopholes that have historically encouraged tax avoidance. Abdallah provides an in-depth overview of these recent trends and developments, and offerspractical insights for creating transfer pricing systems that maximize value for the company while remaining sensitive to local policies in all of the countries in which it operates.

Dirty examination and operating rooms in doctor’s offices and hospitals . . . Health care executives pulling in millions in bonuses for denying treatment to the sick . . . More than 100 million people with inadequate or no medical coverage . . . This may sound like the predicament of a third-world nation, but this is America’s health care reality today. The U.S. spends more on health care than any other nation , yet our benefits are shrinking and life expectancy is shorter here than in countries that spend significantly less per capita.

Critical Consumption Trends and Implications: Degrading Earth`s Ecosystems

Publisher: —
Description: This report argues that production and consumption patterns are integrally linked: that the entire use cycle must be considered if environmental effects are to be understood, potential interventions identified, and effective policy approaches articulated. This report also argues that industrialized and developing countries have many common or overlapping interest in the environmental terns, especially evident in the food fiber and fishery products. The authors suggest that the urgency of addressing consumption in this systemic fashion becomes clear when consumption trends are considered. Within a decade, plausible demand forecasts suggest a marked escalation of environmental impacts, if the present production-consumption patterns are not altered. [detailed...]

The contributors to this volume seek to extend these debates to a more fundamental level, tackling major issues and transcending those critiques of development which simply engage in a blanket dismissal of the whole enterprise. Instead they offer innovative ways of re-engaging with a reality that, despite globalization, is very much still a dimension of our era. [detailed...]

Critical Essays in Popular Musicology

Publisher: Ashgate Publishing
Description: `Critical Essays in Popular Musicology` is an essential reference work which reproduces in facsimile form many of the most important and innovative journal articles and papers in the field, along with an introductory overview by the editor Allan Moore. This volume is designed to improve access to the most significant, concise English-language writing, which articulates and demonstrates some of the key constituents of a popular musicology. It avoids those pieces which have been published in other collections. The essays are divided into two parts - those that articulate the key questions of popular musicology, which discuss contexts for addressing texts, and those that demonstrate the discipline in practice, which actually address those texts. This is a valuable volume for libraries expanding their collections in musicology and popular music studies and will provide scholars and graduate students with a convenient and authoritative reference source.

Critical Excitation Methods in Earthquake Engineering

2007 y.
Publisher: Elsevier Science
Description: Since the occurrence of earthquakes and their properties are very uncertain even with the present knowledge, it is too difficult to define reasonable design ground motions especially for important buildings. In the seismic resistant design of building structures, the concept of `performance-based design` has become a new paradigm guaranteeing the maximum satisfaction of building owners. The quality and reliability of the performance-based design certainly depend on the scientific rationality of design ground motions. In order to overcome this problem, a new paradigm has to be posed. To the author`s knowledge, the concept of `critical excitation` and the structural design based upon this concept can become one of such new paradigms. This book introduces a new probabilistic and energy-based critical excitation approach to overcome several problems in the scientific and rational modelling of ground motions. The author hopes that this book will help the development of new… [detailed...]

Critical Heuristics of Social Planning : A New Approach to Practical Philosophy

Description: Critical Heuristics of Social Planning has been recognised as the seminal work on critical systems thinking. Ulrich offers a new approach both to practical philosophy (which has until now remained rather unpractical) and to systems thinking (which has reduced the systems idea to a tool of merely instrumental, rather than practical, reason). Critical systems heuristics (CSH), as the approach is now generally called, provides planners, practitioners and policy makers with a conceptual tool for practising practical reason. It will enable them to identify and discuss systematically the value implications of policies, plans, problem definitions, or program evaluations. In addition, the book offers the most thorough-going introduction available today to the espistemological foundations of critical systems thinking, including a practicable model of cogent argumentation on disputed value implications of designs. A must for practitioners and scholars who are interested in a self-critical and… [detailed...]
