Challenges in Volunteer Management (HC) (Research in Public Management)

2008 y.
Publisher:
Description: A volume in Research in Public Management Series Editors: Lawrence R. Jones and Nancy C. Roberts, Naval Postgraduate School Volunteer management has many challenges, not the least of which is how we study it and view it. Academics examine it from a variety of disciplines and practitioners experience it in a variety of contexts. However both approaches have limitations. In academia we go to public administration schools to learn about public and nonprofit management, to business schools to apply the principles of private enterprise to nonprofit management, to sociology departments to study the phenomena of volunteerism, to psychology departments to understand the motives of volunteers, and economics departments to examine the value or economic worth of volunteerism. The liability of the academic approach is the segmentation of study and research into departmental areas. The study of volunteers and volunteerism needs to cross all of these organizational and discipline [detailed...]

Challenges of Enterprise-Driven Economic Growth in Africa (African Journal of Business and Economic Research, vol 3 No 1, 2008

2008 y.
Publisher:
Description: There is a growing concern within the development research and policy communities today about the persistent sluggish economic growth in most African countries despite the general upturn in the world economy during the last two decades and the general reduction of poverty in most developing countries. The search for explanations for Africa`s poverty has stretched from considerations such as corruption, poor governance and institutional problems (Killick et al., 2001), to the limited attention to private enterprise development (Fafchamps et al., 2001). The African Union has recently estimated that corruption costs Africa 148 billion US dollars per year, thereby increasing the costs of business transactions in Africa by up to 20 per cent. Similarly the World Bank estimates that corruption impedes growth rates by 0.5 per cent per year. There is also the problem of weak supply side of the economy due, partly, to low levels of entrepreneurial activities throughout Africa. Other scholars [detailed...]

Challenges of Psychoanalysis in the 21st Century - Psychoanalysis, Health, Psychosexuality in the Era of

y.
Publisher:
Description: This book is the proceedings of an International Conference on Challenges of Psychoanalysis in the 21st Century: Psychoanalysis, Health and Psychosexuality in the Era of Virtual Reality, held 15--17 September, 2000, in Geneva, Switzerland. Psychoanalysis has become a basic psychiatric science in very much the same way as the neurosciences or epidemiology. However, there is a certain present-day discrediting of psychoanalysis as a therapeutic tool stemming, to some extent, from the reluctance of psychoanalysts to submit their theories and practice to scientific scrutiny. However, as we see in this book, there is a certain movement in psychoanalysis to introduce reliable measures that would allow for a scientific evaluation of its results as a therapeuticdevice. Although there are great variations in respect to the role ascribed to psychoanalytic techniques in different countries, a clear upsurge of interest is apparent nowadays. During discussion of psychoanalysis and virtual [detailed...]

The theme of the symposium was Challenges to Marine Ecosystems and this was divided into four sub themes, Genetics, Marine Protected Areas, Global Climate Change and Marine Ecosystems, Sustainable Fisheries and Agriculture. The worlds marine ecosystems face multiple challenges, some natural, but many resulting from humankinds activities. Global climate change, driven by influences of energy usage and industrial practices, is a reality now accepted by most of the worlds scientists, media and political establishments. Warming seas and rising sea levels are regarded as threats, while visionaries consider deep ocean carbon disposal as a technological opportunity. Exploitation of the seas continues apace, with repeated concerns over the impact of over-fishing, plus reservations about the environmental effects of marine aquaculture. We [detailed...]

Challenges to the Global Trading System (Paftad (Pacific Trade and Development Conference Series))

Description: International trade continues to expand robustly in East Asia and elsewhere, but global trade negotiations have collapsed and globalization is widely criticized. In this book, the participants of the thirtieth Pacific Trade and Development Conference?including the then-Director General of the World Trade Organization, and leading government officials, academics and executives from a dozen major Pacific Rim economies?debate whether global negotiations have ended once and for all, or are suffering temporarily from `globalization fatigue,` whether East Asia`s new regional partnerships will advance or undermine the global trading system, and whether the region`s trade tensions with the United States will intensify or subside. They provide new empirical evidence on how trade affects the distribution of income, the location of pollution-intensive industries, the causes of `outsourcing,` the structure of the intellectual property regime, and international security.

Description: In March 2002, President George W.

The MCA could bring about the most fundamental changes to U.S. foreign assistance policy in 40 years.

Challenging Health Economics

2009 y.
Publisher:
Description: This book mounts a critique of current health economics and provides a better way of looking at the economics of health and health care. It argues that health economics has been too dominated by the economics of health care and has largely ignored the impact of poverty, inequality, poor housing, and lack of education on health. It is suggested that some of the structural issues of economies, particularly the individualism of neo liberalism which is becoming more and more pervasive across the globe, need to be addressed in health economics. The author instead proposes a form of collective decision making through communitarianism, placing value on participation in public life and on institutions, such as health care. It is envisaged this form of decision making can be used at the local, national or global levels. For the last, this would mean a major revamp of global institutions like the World Bank and the IMF. Examples of the impact of the new paradigm on health policy in general [detailed...]

Challenging Past And Present: The Metamorphosis of Nineteenth-Century Japanese Art

2006 y.
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
Description: The complex and coherent development of Japanese art during the course of the nineteenth century was inadvertently disrupted by a political event: the Meiji Restoration of 1868. Scholars of both the preceding Edo and the succeeding Meiji eras have shunned the decades bordering this arbitrary divide, thus creating an art-historical void that the former view as a period of waning technical and creative inventiveness and the latter as one threatened by Meiji reforms and indiscriminate Westernization and modernization. General texts, academic studies, biographical dictionaries, and exhibition catalogues continue to reinforce this prejudicial chronological divide. `Challenging Past and Present`, to the contrary, demonstrates that the period 1840?`1890, as seen progressively rather than retrospectively, experienced a dramatic transformation in the visual arts, which in turn made possible the creative achievements of the twentieth century. An introduction briefly explores the art historical [detailed...]
