Neuware -Recent political studies on the nature of political interaction within and amongst political parties in Malawi shows that the focus has largely been on the analysis of macro and micro level political interactions as a means to democratic consolidation. These studies have exhaustively managed to identify lack of intra-party democracy and poor governance as some of the major factors that impinge on democratic consolidation in Malawi. However, few studies have been conducted with the special focus on the role of the strong opposition political parties in consolidating democracy in Malawi. This book however, takes a different approach to the question of democratic consolidation in Malawi. This book aims at establishing the relationship between performance of opposition parties in parliament and democratic consolidation and how the performance of strong opposition parties in parliament affect democracy consolidation. The central argument in this book is that, vigorous parliamentary opposition parties undoubtedly enhance consolidation of democracy, such that in emerging democracies like Malawi, there is need to have strong parliamentary opposition parties to check government actions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In recent years there has been substantial empirical work on the relationship between government size and economic growth. However, apart from a few recent studies, this relationship is much less well researched for transition economies. This thesis analyses the relationship between government size and economic growth in 26 transition economies during 1990-2005 by estimating the two-sector growth model of Ram (1986) and panel regressions. The thesis finds a decreasing positive effect of government size on economic growth in these economies. The analysis also confirms that relative factor productivity was higher in the government sector than in the non-government sector during the early years of transition and vice versa over the late years of transition. Additionally, a positive externality effect of government sector on non-government sector may have been stronger during the later years of transition.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This thesis tests whether microcredit offered by MFIs succeeded, from the perspectives of beneficiaries, in reducing the poverty of borrowers in poor areas in Cairo using the example of First Microfinance as a case study. The data was gathered using a tailored questionnaire on a sample of 151 beneficiaries. A linear regression model is used with the dependent variable as the difference in wealth indices before and after acquiring the loan and a set of independent variables. Microfinance showed a positive effect on poverty reduction but with a small magnitude. The results show that the lack of training provided to beneficiaries and the haphazard types of micro-projects are the main reasons for this limited effect. This conclusion was also validated using a qualitative research. It is highly recommended to have a governmental supervisory entity which ensures that Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) are providing sufficient training sessions to all beneficiaries prior to releasing loans. The existing Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) law should be modified in a manner that supports emphasis on training and monitoring of beneficiaries as mandatory for MFIs to obtain licenses.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

The problems in reaching a peaceful institutional agreement on all the aforementioned are even greater when we talk about the EU as the fruit of an international treaty, and therefore, through the concept that avoids Sub-State entities taking part directly within EU decision making processes. In certain sense, we can talk of the EU as a real fruit of an international treaty. However, it has a clear will for political integration and this requires as well dealing with Sub-State participation at all levels. This means that in an international organisation looking for integration, the Sub-State approach recognised at domestic levels needs to become a part of the EU.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This is a research about how the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) contributed to the production of social capital among miners and their families in Harlan County, Kentucky. Currently, many quantitative studies have documented the positive correlation between social capital and a range of economic and cultural outcomes; few emphasize the assessment of whether and how social capital can be intentionally generated. Additionally, among the studies of solidarity, few of them connect it with the notion of social capital. In order to fill these lacunas, I make in-depth analysis of interviews conducted by Alessandro Portelli with aged miners in Harlan County. Through coding and interpreting narratives, I intend to explore how the UMWA produced and extended social capital among coalfield residents. The findings not only contribute to the exploration of the theoretical connection between social capital and solidarity, but also are significant to current organizers for initiating collective actions, consolidating shared identities, and protecting public benefits.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This study presents the historical background and details of the Kyoto Protocol, its flexible mechanisms, and carbon markets. As the carbon market appears to be the most visible result of regulatory efforts to mitigate climate change, this study provides comprehensive reviews of the operation of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), the Clean Development Mechanism, the Joint Implementation and also other segments of the global carbon market. It appears that the existing several carbon markets mostly operate in isolation from each other, which leads to a fragmented global carbon market. This analysis suggests that improving the competitive conditions of carbon markets and increasing the substitutability of project-based credits for allowances can develop the integration of the markets. Potential improvements may include providing greater availability of credits within the EU ETS, providing greater clarity and simplicity of the EU ETS¿s rules regarding the use and the import of project-based credits, providing greater coordination between the EU ETS and the Kyoto mechanisms, and providing greater harmonization in regulatory frameworks.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Through the signing of the Helsinki Agreement, both Jakarta and GAM compromised their interests to end the conflict.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book applied the investment development path (IDP) model to evaluate the relationship between Ghanäs international investment position and its level of economic development. It also examined how that impact on intra-regional foreign direct investment in Africa. South Africa was used for comparative purpose. The results found empirical evidence in support of the IDP in Ghana. The evidence suggest the country is in the second stage of investment development. Improvement in Ghanäs location-specific advantages combined with those resulting from its natural resources contributed to this pattern of investment development. On the contrary, the regression result for South Africa provided no empirical evidence. I also found that the level and degree of intra-Africa FDI from the Ghanaian perspective is very minimal. The analysis found that while there are many MNEs investing in Ghana, most of them are from advanced countries and only three African countries namely South Africa, Nigeria and Togo have MNEs in Ghana. Generally, outward FDI in Ghana was found to be insignificant and largely concentrated in developed countries though some Ghanaian MNEs invest in Togo and The Gambia.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The generalized verdict on the failure of European multiculturalism, for once unambiguous across borders and distinct governmental logics and the political call for the mobilization of society in the defense of the state is the background on which this paper discriminates the terms of a present warlike discourse of the grieved liberal society. The productive discourse of war against an insidious enemy dwelling inside the liberal way-of-life poses at the heart of this crisis the danger of degeneracy of democratic societies and of a new vitality of the pernicious parts spreading further infection with disloyalty to democracy. This paper reconnects with a Foucauldian analysis of racism whose stakes are not in the blood struggle but in the project of biopolitical security whose field of operation is in the new spatialities (their constituting terms and technologies) which organize the hierarchies of forms of life. The failure of multiculturalism as a failure of liberal disciplinary governmentality is the entry point of a struggle whose terms are as much geopolitical as biopolitical, and the terms of the societal danger have displaced old topologies of decision over sovereign exclusion.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -career planning is an important decision in the life of a person. Individuals vary in productive capacity and utility preferences therefore all do not evenly fit for each occupational group.

The world of work is like a riddle. It is not easy for an individual to understand and select the appropriate one from various occupations. It is necessary for one to have massive information about real situation in the labor market and labor market trends. Information that can be helpful in deciding about occupation includes information about nature of work, personal interests and attributes, skill requirements, education, experience, physical working conditions, level of stress, career advancement opportunities and alternatives available.
