Download or read book Side Effects written by Mark Aspinwall and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-09 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story about governance in Mexico after the labor and environmental accords—called "side agreements"—that accompanied the NAFTA treaty went into effect. These side agreements required member states to uphold and enforce their labor and environmental laws; though never codified, it was widely accepted that Mexico, in particular, had a problem with law enforcement. Side Effects explores how differences in institutional design (of the side agreements) and domestic capacity (between the labor and environment sectors) influenced norm socialization in Mexico. It argues that the acceptance of rule-of-law norms in environmental governance can be attributed to participating institutions' independence from national control, their willingness to give citizens access, and the professionalization and technical capacity of domestic bureaucrats and civil society actors. Changes in labor governance have been hampered by union confederations, longstanding corruption, and a closed opportunity structure. Going beyond a simple accounting exercise of resources devoted to enforcing the law, this book comes to grips with how best to strengthen local capacity and promote pro-norm behavior—advances essential to the task of development and democratization.
Book Synopsis Law and the City by : Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos
Download or read book Law and the City written by Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-05-07 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law and the City offers a lateral, critical and often unexpected description of some of the most important cities in the world, including Moscow, Istanbul, Berlin, Singapore, Athens, Mexico City, Toronto, Sydney, Johannesburg: each one from a distinctive legal perspective. An invaluable 'guide' to adopting a different approach to the city and its history, culture and everyday experience, Law and the City is not simply an exploration of the relationship between these two spheres. It details: a flourishing of law’s spatiality and urban legal locality an unfolding of both the juridical urban body and the city’s legal dreams, of both the ‘urban law’ and the ‘juridical polis’. Enlightening and at the same time problematizing the reader, this volume is an innovative collection of truly global dimensions that will prove compelling reading both for specialists and for critical travellers.

Book Synopsis Environment and Citizenship in Latin America by : Alex Latta
Download or read book Environment and Citizenship in Latin America written by Alex Latta and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarship related to environmental questions in Latin America has only recently begun to coalesce around citizenship as both an empirical site of inquiry and an analytical frame of reference. This has led to a series of new insights and perspectives, but few efforts have been made to bring these various approaches into a sustained conversation across different social, temporal and geographic contexts. This volume is the result of a collaborative endeavour to advance debates on environmental citizenship, while simultaneously and systematically addressing broader theoretical and methodological questions related to the particularities of studying environment and citizenship in Latin America. Providing a window onto leading scholarship in the field, the book also sets an ambitious agenda to spark further research.

An invaluable resource for those new to this line of scholarship, the book also pushes the boundaries of legal geography, reinvigorating previous modes of inquiry and investigating new directions. It guides scholars interested in the law–space–power nexus to underexplored empirical sites and to novel theoretical and disciplinary resources. Finally, The Expanding Spaces of Law asks readers to think about the temporality and dynamism of legal spaces.
Book Synopsis Land Law and Urban Policy in Context by : Thanos Zartaloudis
Download or read book Land Law and Urban Policy in Context written by Thanos Zartaloudis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of essays honouring and engaging with the work of the late Professor Patrick McAuslan. It is a collection that narrates, analyses and critiques McAuslan’s contributions, as well as offering substantive perspectives on how his work has impacted the legal fields in which he was involved: including those of land law, urban planning law and policy, land use and participation in developing countries, democratic constitutionalism, and legal education. The essays present McAuslan’s contributions in the contexts in which they emerged, and according to both the circumstances and motivations that shaped them, as well as the challenges they encountered. It thus provides an ideal point of engagement for scholars, students and policy makers that have already interacted with McAuslan’s ideas and work, or who have yet to do so.

Book Synopsis Urban Land Markets by : Somik V. Lall
Download or read book Urban Land Markets written by Somik V. Lall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-07 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As urbanization progresses at a remarkable pace, policy makers and analysts come to understand and agree on key features that will make this process more efficient and inclusive, leading to gains in the welfare of citizens. Drawing on insights from economic geography and two centuries of experience in developed countries, the World Bank’s World Development Report 2009: Reshaping Economic Geography emphasizes key aspects that are fundamental to ensuring an efficient rural-urban transformation. Critical among these are land, as the most important resource, and well-functioning land markets. Regardless of the stage of urbanization, flexible and forward-looking institu- ons that help the efficient functioning of land markets are the bedrock of succe- ful urbanization strategies. In particular, institutional arrangements for allocating land rights and for managing and regulating land use have significant implica- ons for how cities deliver agglomeration economies and improve the welfare of their residents. Property rights, well-functioning land markets, and the management and servicing of land required to accommodate urban expansion and provide trunk infrastructure are all topics that arise as regions progress from incipient urbani- tion to medium and high density.
Book Synopsis Algorithms of Resistance by : Tiziano Bonini
Download or read book Algorithms of Resistance written by Tiziano Bonini and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How global workers, influencers, and activists develop tactics of algorithmic resistance by appropriating and repurposing the same algorithms that control our lives. Algorithms are all around us, permeating more and more aspects of our daily lives. While accounts of platform power tend to come across as bleak and monolithic, Algorithms of Resistance shows how people can resist algorithms across a variety of domains. Drawing from rich ethnographic materials and perspectives from both the Global North and South, authors Tiziano Bonini and Emiliano Treré explore how people appropriate and reconfigure algorithms to pursue their objectives in three domains of everyday life: gig work, cultural industries, and politics. They reveal how forms of algorithmic agency and resistance are endemic and mundane and how the platform society is a contested battleground of contrasting forces. Bonini and Treré begin by outlining their key theoretical framework of moral economies. This framework argues that algorithms exist on a continuum. At its two extremes are two competing moral economies: the user moral economy and the platform moral economy. From here, Algorithms of Resistance chronicles the various inventive ways that individuals can work to achieve agency and resist the ubiquitous power of algorithms. Casting a wide net with a diverse range of case studies, Bonini and Treré reveal the moral imperative for all of us—from delivery drivers to artists to social movements—to resist algorithms.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Social Movements across Latin America by : Paul Almeida
Download or read book Handbook of Social Movements across Latin America written by Paul Almeida and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook covers social movement activities in Latin American countries that have had profound consequences on the political culture of the region. It examines the developments of the past twenty years, such as a renewed upswing in popular mobilization, the ending of violent conflicts and military governments, new struggles and a relatively more democratic climate. It shows that, from southern Chiapas to Argentina, social movements in the 1990s and especially in the 2000s, have reached new heights of popular participation. There is a lack of research on the politics of this region in the contemporary era of globalization, this volume partially fills the void and offers a rich resource to students, scholars and the general public in terms of understanding the politics of mass mobilization in the early twenty-first century. The contributors each address social movement activity in their own nation and together they present a multidisciplinary perspective on the topic. Each chapter uses a case study design to bring out the most prominent attributes of the particular social struggle(s), for instance the main protagonists in the campaigns, the grievances of the population and the outcomes of the struggles. This Handbook is divided into seven substantive themes, providing overall coherence to a broad range of social conflicts across countries, issues and social groups. These themes include: 1) theory of Latin American social movements; 2) neoliberalism; 3) indigenous struggles; 4) women’s movements; 5) movements and the State; 6) environmental movements; and 7) transnational mobilizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By the end of this book, you will understand what is valuable, how to measure value, and how to optimize the flow of valuefrom idea to your customer." Evan Leybourn, co-founder and CEO, Business Agility Institute Agile methods have brought about dramatic changes in how organizations manage and deliver not only IT services, but their entire product and service value streams. As legacy organizations transition to newer, end-to-end agile operating models, the Project Management Office (PMO) needs to redesign its mission and operation to be more in line with these modern ways of working. That requires being more customer-focused and value-adding, and less hidebound, bureaucratic and tied to antiquated processes and mindsets. Visionary leaders are transitioning into enablers of this change, and maximizing value through the entire organization. Middle management, including program and project managers (PMs), are racing to maximize their professional relevancy in this new world. This book defines the role of the agile value management office (VMO), using case studies and a clear road map to help PMs visualize and implement a new path where middle management and the VMO are valued leaders in the age of business agility.

Book Synopsis The Language of Leadership by : Joel Schwartzberg
Download or read book The Language of Leadership written by Joel Schwartzberg and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impression you make as a leader has the power to build, enhance, or sabotage your authority and ideas. Discover how to convey the essence of leadership with every interaction. Every communication leaders make—speaking, writing, posting, sharing, and even listening—has the power to either secure or sabotage their impact. But wanting to inspire and engage their team and knowing how to do it are two different things. In this book, Joel Schwartzberg suggests mindsets, tactics, tips, and examples to help readers reach that goal using the most powerful leadership tool available: a leader's voice. Whether managers are giving speeches, telling stories, sending emails, posting messages, recording videos, or running Zoom meetings, these are essential tools for establishing authority and galvanizing an audience. Readers will learn how to inspire instead of inform, communicate with purpose and power, and sell—not just share—their most important ideas.
Book Synopsis El Maestro Psicodélico by : Nicolas Lehoux
Download or read book El Maestro Psicodélico written by Nicolas Lehoux and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-09-28 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mi relación con los psicodélicos es íntima, sagrada, mítica, arquetípica. Han contribuido a mi despertar dentro de una sociedad donde este estado de ser es ignorado por las masas, donde la santidad es vista como una enfermedad mental condenable al internamiento, donde el genio es reprimido para el provecho de un conformismo insípido y de una esclavitud moral. Yo estoy profundamente agradecido con ellos por haberme abierto la puerta al absoluto. Esta obra les rinde homenaje, y ojalá que pueda ayudarle a conocer mejor y a apreciar este manjar de los dioses. Mi obsesión por los psicodélicos me ha llevado a comprender su esencia. Actualmente, estoy satisfecho y escribo con la seguridad de aquel que sabe. Lo psicodélico ha llegado a ser para mí algo mucho más profundo de lo que la mayoría dominante se imagina hoy en día, acerca de este tema. Yo deseo en esta obra dar testimonio de lo que Yo Soy. Haré lo imposible para hacerle ver mi verdadera naturaleza, mi mito: el Maestro Psicodélico.

This book was released on 2024-07-27 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 2011, el mundo de la tecnología fue testigo de un cambio histórico: la muerte de Steve Jobs, el visionario cofundador y director ejecutivo de Apple. Ante un futuro incierto, la empresa se encontró en una encrucijada. Fue en ese momento cuando Tim Cook, hasta entonces vicepresidente senior de operaciones, se hizo cargo del gigante de Cupertino. Este libro es un tributo a la destacada carrera de Tim Cook, explorando sus excepcionales habilidades como líder, su pasión por el diseño y la innovación, y su compromiso con la responsabilidad social y la sostenibilidad. A través de un análisis en profundidad de sus decisiones estratégicas y el impacto que tuvo en Apple y la industria tecnológica en su conjunto, descubriremos la mente de un líder visionario que marcó el curso de la historia. Nacido en Alabama en 1960, Tim Cook siempre ha demostrado un talento natural para la organización y la eficiencia. Su carrera en IBM, donde durante 12 años ocupó puestos de creciente responsabilidad, lo dotó de las habilidades necesarias para gestionar operaciones complejas a escala global. En 1998 se unió a Apple, ganándose rápidamente la confianza de Steve Jobs y convirtiéndose en un actor clave en la reestructuración de la empresa. En 2004, Cook asumió por primera vez el cargo de CEO, durante la ausencia de Jobs por problemas de salud. Esta experiencia lo preparó para el inevitable desafío que surgiría en 2011. Al asumir el rol permanente de CEO, Cook enfrentó el escepticismo de muchos que cuestionaban su capacidad para liderar Apple sin la figura icónica de Jobs. Descubra mucho más...
