Book Synopsis The Roma Struggle for Compensation in Post-war Germany by : Julia Von dem Knesebeck
Download or read book The Roma Struggle for Compensation in Post-war Germany written by Julia Von dem Knesebeck and published by Univ of Hertfordshire Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty years passed before it was accepted, in West Germany and elsewhere, that the Roma (Germany's Gypsies) had been Holocaust victims. And, similarly, it took thirty years for the West German state to admit that the sterilisation of Roma had been part of the 'Final Solution'. Drawing on a substantial body of previously unseen sources, this book examines the history of the struggle of Roma for recognition as racially persecuted victims of National Socialism in post-war Germany. Since modern academics belatedly began to take an interest in them, the Roma have been described as 'forgotten victims'. This book looks at the period in West Germany between the end of the War and the beginning of the Roma civil rights movement in the early 1980s, during which the Roma were largely passed over when it came to compensation. The complex reasons for this are at the heart of this book.

Compensation For Industrial Injuries By Allen Ripley Foote Columbus, Ohio INTRODUCTORY Pending legislation renders this subject one of vital interest to every employer and employe in Ohio and throughout this country. The serious discussion of this subject proves the fallacy of the conclusion reached by Dr. Alfred Russell Wallace, known as the "Grand Old Man of Science," after concluding a survey of man's moral and intellectual development from the earliest days of the Egyptians and Syrians until now, in which he declares that for seven thousand years the development of morals and intellect has been stationary. The changed view with which compensation for industrial injuries is now regarded, comparing the present with only sixty years ago, discloses a far-reaching evolution in the development of morals and a clearer perception of the principles of justice. All such changes involve the displacing of old customs, methods and laws with a new revision in accord with this clearer perception. Naturally, those who have been closely identified with, and who have investments involved in, the old system struggle hard to save themselves. It is undoubtedly the part of wisdom on the part of society to aid them in doing this, providing always that the doing of it does not necessarily retard the development of a better way. The trend, strength and progress made in the development of morals and intelligence is never better seen than by contrast between the methods now required for the elimination of old habits, customs and laws, and those employed only sixty years ago." ' This' 'TS "graphically shown by the terrible war which was waged in the struggle to free labor from slavery--1861-1865--and the peaceful methods now being used to free laborers from the...

This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty years passed before it was accepted--in West Germany and elsewhere--that the Roma (Gypsies) of Germany had been Holocaust victims. Drawing upon a substantial body of previously unseen sources, this record examines the history of the Roma struggle for recognition as racially persecuted victims of National Socialism in postwar Germany. Looking at West Germany in the period between the end of the war and the beginning of the Roma civil rights movement in the early 1980s, this authoritative analysis demonstrates how pejorative attitudes continued unchallenged and how compensation was eventually achieved.
Book Synopsis The Struggle for Accountability by : Jonathan A. Fox
Download or read book The Struggle for Accountability written by Jonathan A. Fox and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1998-08-19 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a history of funding environmentally costly megaprojects, the World Bank now claims that it is trying to become a leading force for sustainable development. For more than a decade, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and grassroots movements have formed transnational coalitions to reform the World Bank and the governments that it funds. The Struggle for Accountability assesses the efforts of these groups to make the World Bank more publicly accountable. The book is organized into four parts. Part I describes the NGOs and grassroots movements that are the book's central focus. Part II presents case studies of four projects that provoked the emergence of transnational advocacy coalitions: Indonesia's Kedung Ombo dam, the Mt. Apo geothermal plant in the Philippines, Brazil's Planaforo Amazon development project, and the remarkable campaign of Ecuador's indigenous people to influence national economic policy that led to their participation in the design of a development loan. Part III looks at the origins and politics of reform in four areas of broader World Bank policy: the rights of indigenous peoples, involuntary resettlement, water resources, and the World Bank's institutional reforms that are supposed to encourage public accountability. In the last section, the editors discuss issues of accountability within transnational coalitions and assess the impact of advocacy campaigns on World Bank projects and policies. Contributors L.

Book Synopsis The Struggle for Social Security, 1900–1935 by : Roy Lubove
Download or read book The Struggle for Social Security, 1900–1935 written by Roy Lubove and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 1986-03-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first one-third of the twentieth century, proposals for workmen's compensation, unemployment or health insurance, and widow's or old age pensions met steep resistance on the grounds that such programs would diminish the dignity of the individual. In this book, Roy Lubove examines the clash between the traditional American ethic of individualism and voluntarism and the push for an active government role in social welfare assistance, and the battles within the social security movement itself. He concludes his study with the actual legislative enactments of 1935 when, after the experience of the Great Depression, social insurance came into its own.

Book Synopsis The Struggle for Constitutional Power by : Tamir Moustafa
Download or read book The Struggle for Constitutional Power written by Tamir Moustafa and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-06-11 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly three decades, scholars and policymakers have placed considerable stock in judicial reform as a panacea for the political and economic turmoil plaguing developing countries. Courts are charged with spurring economic development, safeguarding human rights, and even facilitating transitions to democracy. How realistic are these expectations, and in what political contexts can judicial reforms deliver their expected benefits? This book addresses these issues through an examination of the politics of the Egyptian Supreme Constitutional Court, the most important experiment in constitutionalism in the Arab world. The Egyptian regime established a surprisingly independent constitutional court to address a series of economic and administrative pathologies that lie at the heart of authoritarian political systems. Although the Court helped the regime to institutionalize state functions and attract investment, it simultaneously opened new avenues through which rights advocates and opposition parties could challenge the regime. The book challenges conventional wisdom and provides insights into perennial questions concerning the barriers to institutional development, economic growth, and democracy in the developing world.
Book Synopsis Class Struggle Or Family Struggle? by : Seung-kyung Kim
Download or read book Class Struggle Or Family Struggle? written by Seung-kyung Kim and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-06-28 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study complements the burgeoning literature on South Korean economic development by considering it from the perspective of young female factory workers. In approaching development from this position, Kim explores the opportunity and exploitation that development has presented to female workers and humanizes the notion of the 'Korean economic miracle' by examining its impact on their lives. Kim looks at the conflicts and ambivalences of young women as they participate in the industrial work force and simultaneously grapple with defining their roles in respect to marriage and motherhood within conventional family structures. The book explores the women's individual and collective struggles to improve their positions and examines their links with other political forces within the labor movement. She analyses how female workers envision their place in society, how they cope with economic and social marginalisation in their daily lives, and how they develop strategies for a better future.
Book Synopsis The Struggle for Redress by : Jessie Barton-Hronešová
Download or read book The Struggle for Redress written by Jessie Barton-Hronešová and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores pathways to redress for main groups of victims/survivors of the 1992-5 Bosnian war —families of missing persons, victims of torture, survivors of sexual violence, and victims suffering physical disabilities and harm. The author traces the history of redress-making for each of these groups and shows how differently they have been treated by Bosnian authorities at the state and subnational level. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, thousands of war victims have had to suffer re-traumatising ordeals in order to secure partial redress for their suffering during 1992–1995 and after. While some, such as victims of sexual violence, have been legally recognised and offered financial and service-based compensation, others, such as victims of torture, have been recognized only recently with a clear geographical limitation. The main aim of the book is to explore the politics behind recognizing victimhood and awarding redress in a country that has been divided by instrumentalized identity cleavages, widespread patronage and debilitating war legacies. It shows how war victims/survivors navigate such fragmented and challenging public landscape in order to secure their rights.

Book excerpt: "The pay gap between chief executive officers of major U.S. firms and their workers is higher than ever before--depending on the method of calculation, CEOs get paid between 300 and 700 times more than the average worker. Such outsized pay is a relatively recent phenomenon, but ... few detractors truly understand the numerous factors that have contributed to the dizzying upward spiral in CEO compensation. Steven Clifford, a former CEO who has also served on many corporate boards, has a name for these procedures and practices: 'The CEO Pay Machine.' [This book] is Clifford's ... explanation of the 'machine'--how it works, how its parts interact, and how every step pushes CEO pay to higher levels"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With new talks in the Middle East Peace Process about to begin, the shadows of previous negotiations fall heavily across all involved. In this powerful and absorbing testimony, one of leading figures of the Oslo talks, former Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie ('Abu Ala') takes us behind closed doors and inside the negotiating rooms of Wye River, Stockholm and Camp David, where the terms of peace and a Palestinian state were sketched out, argued over, and eventually lost. Larger than life figures emerge from the minutes of these dramatic meetings - released here for the first time. Qurei recounts both the Israelis' intractability and the dynamic inside the Palestinian camp with candour and insight. This indispensable first-hand account provides a completely new perspective on the history, issues and personalities that will determine the future of the Middle East.

Book Synopsis Eleven Winters of Discontent by : Sherzod Muminov
Download or read book Eleven Winters of Discontent written by Sherzod Muminov and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The odyssey of 600,000 imperial Japanese soldiers incarcerated in Soviet labor camps after World War II and their fraught repatriation to postwar Japan. In August 1945 the Soviet Union seized the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo and the colony of Southern Sakhalin, capturing more than 600,000 Japanese soldiers, who were transported to labor camps across the Soviet Union but primarily concentrated in Siberia and the Far East. Imprisonment came as a surprise to the soldiers, who thought they were being shipped home. The Japanese prisoners became a workforce for the rebuilding Soviets, as well as pawns in the Cold War. Alongside other Axis POWs, they did backbreaking jobs, from mining and logging to agriculture and construction. They were routinely subjected to ÒreeducationÓ glorifying the Soviet system and urging them to support the newly legalized Japanese Communist Party and to resist American influence in Japan upon repatriation. About 60,000 Japanese didnÕt survive Siberia. The rest were sent home in waves, the last lingering in the camps until 1956. Already laid low by war and years of hard labor, returnees faced the final shock and alienation of an unrecognizable homeland, transformed after the demise of the imperial state. Sherzod Muminov draws on extensive Japanese, Russian, and English archivesÑincluding memoirs and survivor interviewsÑto piece together a portrait of life in Siberia and in Japan afterward. Eleven Winters of Discontent reveals the real people underneath facile tropes of the prisoner of war and expands our understanding of the Cold War front. Superpower confrontation played out in the Siberian camps as surely as it did in Berlin or the Bay of Pigs.
