Book excerpt: Part 1 describes varied patterns of community cohesiveness and dispute resolution in the Philippines, including the development of a community-based system of informal and out-of-court dispute processing. Chapter 2 introduces the general topic of self-help and peacemaking practices in the Province of Lanao del Norte in Mindanao, and describes a number of peacemaking organizations. Chapter 3 describes one field trip to the southern Philippines, and some of the cultural elements that tend to promote community security, including barangay, or neighborhood organization, the absence of police, idle time, low technology, and the necessity of multiple personal follow-ups to finalize most transactions. Chapter 4 summarizes aspects of the conflict between Muslim and Christian peoples who live side by side in towns and cities of Mindanao. Chapter 4 looks at terrorist activities and how they affect the daily life of Filipinos in the north-western region of Mindanao. Chapter 6 details what is meant by vigilante activity in the Philippines and examines a number of such enterprises in the 1980's, with lingering presence in more recent years. Chapter 7 examines the almost omnipresent issue of bribery and extortion. Chapter 8 looks at youth, juvenile delinquency, street children, and some of the processes for managing Filipino delinquency. Chapter 9 explains aspects of the folkways in the Province of Lanao del Norte, where near-anarchy reigns, as shown by a lack of enthusiasm for the rule of law. Chaotic driving and queuing customs, among others, are discussed in light of their possible links to further styles of social deviance.

Book Synopsis Fresh Banana Leaves by : Jessica Hernandez, Ph.D.
Download or read book Fresh Banana Leaves written by Jessica Hernandez, Ph.D. and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Indigenous environmental scientist breaks down why western conservationism isn't working--and offers Indigenous models informed by case studies, personal stories, and family histories that center the voices of Latin American women and land protectors. Despite the undeniable fact that Indigenous communities are among the most affected by climate devastation, Indigenous science is nowhere to be found in mainstream environmental policy or discourse. And while holistic land, water, and forest management practices born from millennia of Indigenous knowledge systems have much to teach all of us, Indigenous science has long been ignored, otherized, or perceived as "soft"--the product of a systematic, centuries-long campaign of racism, colonialism, extractive capitalism, and delegitimization. Here, Jessica Hernandez--Maya Ch'orti' and Zapotec environmental scientist and founder of environmental agency Piña Soul--introduces and contextualizes Indigenous environmental knowledge and proposes a vision of land stewardship that heals rather than displaces, that generates rather than destroys. She breaks down the failures of western-defined conservatism and shares alternatives, citing the restoration work of urban Indigenous people in Seattle; her family's fight against ecoterrorism in Latin America; and holistic land management approaches of Indigenous groups across the continent. Through case studies, historical overviews, and stories that center the voices and lived experiences of Indigenous Latin American women and land protectors, Hernandez makes the case that if we're to recover the health of our planet--for everyone--we need to stop the eco-colonialism ravaging Indigenous lands and restore our relationship with Earth to one of harmony and respect.

Book Synopsis The EC Banana Regime - a Testcase for the Relationship between WTO, Regional and National Law by : Gerald G. Sander
Download or read book The EC Banana Regime - a Testcase for the Relationship between WTO, Regional and National Law written by Gerald G. Sander and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2002-10-08 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 1998 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, University of Tubingen (Law), language: English, abstract: The creation of the internal market within the European Community (EC) made it necessary to integrate the differing national arrangements that were still existing by 1993 with regard to a variety of goods. One of these Community-wide regimes adopted is the EC banana regime. It is one of the most disputed regimes so far1 An import tax of 20 was in force in the open, free market economies of the Benelux, Ireland and Denmark before the EC banana regime came into force. Only in Germany was no import tax levied because of the Banana Protocol of 25 March 1957. Bananas from ACP countries could be imported into all EC countries as a matter of principal tax free pursuant to Art. 168 of the Lomé Convention IV. After 5 years of negotiation2 the common market organization for bananas came into force on 1 July 1993. The legal basis is the Council Regulation (EEC) 404/933, a brief summary of which follows. Its regime discriminates against banana producers who are not based in the EC or in countries of the African, Caribbean or Pacific area (ACP), and against companies that distribute bananas that originate in those countries. At present imports of bananas from twelve previously determined traditional ACP countries enter the Community duty free, up to a maximum quantity fixed for each country in the regulation. Non-traditional ACP and third-country imports are subject to a tariff quota which lies well below the quantity these countries exported to the EC before the new banana regime was introduced with an import tax of 100 ECU per tonne. Furthermore, out of quota shipments are subject to a prohibitive duty, which renders importation uneconomical, that is 750 ECU per tonne for imports from ACP states and 850 ECU per tonne for third country bananas. Licensing requirements are applied to imports of traditional as well as non-traditional ACP- and third countries. As a result of these regulations, operators who traditionally marketed third country bananas have a competitive disadvantage over those who marketed Community bananas.4 Licenses for importation of bananas from non-traditional ACP and third countries are issued to three market sharing groups. Accordingly the earlier importers of these bananas only receive a quota of 66.5%. [...]

Book Synopsis A Constitutional Order of States? by : Anthony Arnull
Download or read book A Constitutional Order of States? written by Anthony Arnull and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-03 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection celebrates the career of Professor Alan Dashwood, a leading member of the generation of British academics who organised, explained and analysed what we now call European Union law for the benefit of lawyers trained in the common law tradition. It takes as its starting point Professor Dashwood's vivid description of the European Union as a 'constitutional order of states'. He intended that phrase to capture the unique character of the Union. On the one hand, it is a supranational order characterised by its own distinctive institutional dynamics and an unprecedented level of cohesion among, and penetration into, the national legal systems. On the other hand, it remains an organisation of derived powers, the Member States retaining their character as sovereign entities under international law. This theme permeates both the constitutional and the substantive law of the Union. Contributors to the collection include members of the judiciary and distinguished practitioners, officials and academics. They consider the foundations, strengths, implications and shortcomings of this conceptual framework in various fields of EU law and policy. The collection is an essential purchase for anyone interested in the constitutional framework of the contemporary European Union.
Download or read book Allies As Rivals written by Faruk Tabak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the dynamics of international rivalry from the late 1970s up through the present. Among the members of the dominant North political discord has become prominent recently in debates ranging from the Balkan Wars to the Second Gulf War. Yet a wide array of disputes--launching of global positioning systems to steel imports--have shattered the semblance of unity and cooperation among the members of the North, the triad of Europe, U.S., and east Asia. The book explores the subversive ways in which the configuration of economic networks in east Asia are subtly leaving their mark on the structure of the world-system. Also addressed are the ramifications on the South of this sharpening rivalry and, more importantly, whether this round of imperial rivalry will eventually give way, as previously in history, to new forms of international domination.
Book Synopsis Fighting the Banana Wars and Other Fairtrade Battles by : Harriet Lamb
Download or read book Fighting the Banana Wars and Other Fairtrade Battles written by Harriet Lamb and published by Random House. This book was released on 2008-12-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It started very small and full of hope. But its daring campaigns have placed Fairtrade goods at the heart of the supermarket shelves. From bananas and coffee beans to cotton and chocolate, Fairtrade has grown to become an important global movement that has revolutionised the way we shop. As Harriet Lamb, Chief Executive of Fairtrade International, explains in this extensively revised and updated edition of her inspirational book, Fairtrade is about a better deal for workers and famers in the developing world. It's about making sure the food on our plates, and shirts on our backs, don't rob people in other countries of the means to feed or clothe themselves. She explores the journey, through an often unjust system, that Fairtrade items make from farm to consumer. And she uncovers the shocking cost of our demand for cheaper food. There is much still to be done. But by hard work and high ideals, Fairtrade is starting to transform the lives of over 7 million farmers, workers and their families, and is a powerful symbol of how extraordinary change can be achieved against all the odds - by us all.
