Sustainable States

ISBN: 1538140381
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 89
Book Description
The importance of environmentally sustainable public utilities in the Middle East is an improbable topic for a Washington think tank study. Yet, many countries in the Middle East face serious challenges providing utilities in any manner to their populations, and the failure to do so is an increasing flashpoint for public dissatisfaction. This study finds that providing more environmentally sustainable services in the Middle East would be an effective way to address many citizens’ grievances which go beyond the reliability of those services. It would also help ameliorate deep dissatisfaction with the quality of governance and help build trust between citizens and their governments. This study examines three sectors—power, water and sanitation, and solid waste—in Jordan, Lebanon, and Tunisia. While the three countries are different in many ways, each faces increasing challenges providing services to their citizens. Providing these services in an environmentally sustainable way would also crucially increase each country’s resilience and diminish their vulnerability in a chronically unstable region.

Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
Vous êtes-vous déjà posé la question essentielle suivante : Qui suis-je ? Si oui, quelle réponse avez-vous reçue ? Votre réponse vous a-t-elle satisfaite ? Cependant, si cette question n’a jamais effleuré votre esprit, alors le moment serait venu de vous la poser sérieusement, en toute conscience. Ou alors, si malgré tous vos efforts, vous n’êtes toujours pas parvenus à une réponse convaincante, inutile de poursuivre votre quête. Ce livre vous fournira les outils nécessaires pour y répondre. Depuis notre plus tendre enfance, nous nous sommes égarés et englués dans une multitude d’identifications illusoires, les unes aussi pernicieuses que les autres. Il est maintenant temps d’accéder à une prise de conscience identitaire nouvelle.

Strategic Intelligence for the Future 1
Author: Henri DouPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1786302314
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Information in all its forms is at the heart of the economic intelligence process. It is also a powerful vector of innovation and, more than ever, a balance between economic and societal forces. Strategic Intelligence for the Future 1 analyzes the need for the French economic intelligence to mutate in order to develop the economy, strengthen social cohesion and protect vital interests. This mutation requires a change of attitudes and a new way of thinking, widely open to global change and new technologies. The focus of the French economic intelligence on conventional objectives such as business and the economy does not allow for the integration of its multiple possible fields and thus its global nature. The strategy, foresight and temporal dynamics necessary to the understanding of the world, and the new balance of power and control of complex situations, have thus increased the time needed to put this in place. Both theoretical and practical, this book provides a basis from which to develop "enhanced economic intelligence" leading to the implementation of global security.

Damages for Violations of Human Rights
Author: Ewa BagińskaPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319189506
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
This volume analyses the legal grounds, premises and extent of pecuniary compensation for violations of human rights in national legal systems. The scope of comparison includes liability regimes in general and in detail, the correlation between pecuniary remedies available under international law and under domestic law, and special (alternative) compensation systems. All sources of human rights violations are embraced, including historical injustices and systematical and gross violations. The book is a collection of nineteen contributions written by public international law, international human rights and private law experts, covering fifteen European jurisdictions (including Central and Eastern Europe), the United States, Israel and EU law. The contributions, initially prepared for the 19th International Congress of Comparative law in Vienna (2014), present the latest developments in legislation, scholarship and case-law concerning domestic causes of action in cases of human rights abuses. The book concludes with a comparative report which assesses the developments in tort law and public liability law, the role of the constitutionalisation of the right to damages as well as the court practice related to the process of enforcement of human rights through monetary remedies. This country-by-country comparison allows to consider whether the value of protection of human rights as expressed in international treaties, ius cogens and in national constitutional laws justifies the conclusion that the interests at stake should enjoy protection under the existing civil liability rules, or that a new cause of action, or even a whole new set of rules, should be created in national systems.
The Phraseology of Administrative French
Author: Wendy J. AndersonPublisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9042020229
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
The French administrative language of the European Union is an emerging discourse: it is only fifty years old, and has its origins in the French administrative register of the middle of the twentieth century, but it is also a unique contact situation in which translation has always played a pivotal role. Using the methodology of corpus linguistics, and a specially compiled corpus of texts, covering a range of genres, this book describes the current discourse of EU French from the perspective of phraseology and collocational patterning, and in particular in comparison with its French national counterpart. Corpus methodology and an inclusive notion of phraseology, embracing typical formulae, locutions, and patterning around keywords, reveal subtleties and patterns which otherwise remain hidden, and point to a discourse of EU French whose novel context of production has led it to be phraseologically conservative, compared with the administrative French of France
