Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This work depicts the state of development of a village in Cameroon called Matoh. The main activity in Matoh Village is the cultivation of cocoa cash crop which is demanded both nationally and internationally. Despite the time dedicated by the farmers to their farms, it is regrettable that most of them are still poverty stricken. Moreover, the area is almost unreachable during the heart of the rainy season due to the poor state of the roads. This, therefore, hinders the convey of chemicals to the farmers and also hampers the transportation of farm produce to nearby markets. Worst still, the enclave nature of the area has dampened the chances of the farmers being exposed to modern farming techniques. This work therefore, addresses the challenges faced by this agricultural community and call upon development stakeholders and people of good cheer to make their valuable contributions such that these farmers could valorise their farm produce and thus improve their well-being.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -While the neoclassical school advocates that private investment is dampened by an increase in government spending, an increase in the government spending stimulates private investment in the Keynesian model. This study analyses the effectiveness of fiscal spending in the context of crowding out/in hypothesis for Namibia. Two models have been estimated by analyzing the unit root test, co-integration test and the error correction model. The first model used government expenditures, the second model used government budget deficit in the equation together with log of gross domestic product and lending interest rate. The time series data of 62 quarters, i.e. fiscal year of 1990:1 - 2005:2 has been used. The main findings of the study verify both the Keynesian and neoclassical views for Namibia. While increases in government spending are found to crowd in private investment, government budget deficits are found to crowd it out. The evidence has important implications for fiscal management.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The topic of destination branding has attracted academic interest only recently and the field remains in its infancy. Therefore, the aim of the book is to clarify the dilemma observed at conceptual and empirical levels concerning recent research findings in the area. Stemming from the main branding concepts and specific characteristics of a destination, the book introduces a two- dimensional approach to destination branding. Such proposed approach integrates brand identity and equity and enables different destination stakeholders to be included in the process. Theoretical concepts are empirically verified on the examined brand of Slovenia. Special consideration is given to the concept of customer- based brand equity for a tourism destination, which is investigated for Slovenia and its competitive country Austria from the perspective of two culturally heterogeneous tourist markets (German and Croatian). The book should be especially useful to academics and students interested in exploring the destination branding phenomenon and also to practitioners involved in the process of systematic development of destination brands.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Road transportation contaminates the environment with the release of exhaust emissions. Transport volumes as well as the proportion of the road transportation sector are constantly rising, which intensifies environmental impacts. In order to determine the main culprits of pollution, Environmental Impact Analyses are used. The main purpose of this book is to present an analysis in order to investigate the environmental impacts of road transportation along a certain supply chain. An academic resource was used as database, in order to develop and test an exhaust emission calculation model in cooperation with a case company. Besides CO2, this assessment also focuses on the measurement of other exhaust emissions (Nox, PM or CO). Furthermore, economic factors like costs caused per transport are calculated. Aspects, like capacity utilization, the use of environmentally friendly tires or eco-friendly driving styles, are included in the analysis. A validation test and interviews prove the applicability and practicability of the here developed Enviornmental Impact Analysis.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This research seeks to answer whether civilian intervention produces a more tangible outcome in terms of challenging the status quo around secessionist conflicts than traditional mediation given specific background conditions involved. The mediation (and observation) ¿ the method traditionally employed by the OSCE and the UN - appears to be more intrusive, involves direct physical presence on the ground in the conflict zone, is more high-profile and involves sensitive political and politico-military issues, and produces increased competition and power-based mediation on the part of an involved major regional player interested in sustaining the status quo. The civilian approach to conflict management employed by the EU, by contrast, entails a less intrusive, more low-key, piecemeal instruments facilitating conflict prevention or conflict management. As such, it is able to alter the context around the conflict, thereby challenging the status quo. The author ultimately concludes though that the impact produced by civilian approach to conflict management diverges in space due to the different types of security issues involved in different conflicts.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Against the backdrop of transitional justice this work attempts to shed some light on the complex issue of reconciliation between indigenous and non-indigenous inhabitants in two former settler colonies: Australia and Canada. Indigenous peoples in both nation-states to this day cope with severe socioeconomic disadvantages, which is in sharp contrast with the thriving prospects and wealth of the nation-states they inhabit. Simultaneously, successive governments, as well as many of the non-indigenous inhabitants, deal with feelings of guilt - intrinsically linked to the rise of their nation-states - towards the indigenous population. The main question this work attempts to answer therefore, is to what extent Australia and Canada can benefit from each other¿s experiences with regard to achieving reconciliation. Through critical assesment, from the early interactions to Nunavut and the NTER, this study emphasizes the importance of a paradigm shift: from the old structure of victims and victimizers to a new framework of constructive dialogue and indigenous empowerment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Irish government policy towards refugees and asylum seekers is increasingly restrictive and geared towards confining their participation in and excluding them from Irish society. This is evident from a regime created through institutions and policies that stratify rights in accordance with race-based administrative categories, with refugees and asylum seekers occupying the lowest levels. This trend is also reflected in the media in Ireland where negative framing of refugee and asylum issues as threats to security and to the moral fabric of society has normalised these policies of exclusion. The fact that the media is mainstream society¿s main source of information about marginalised groups like asylum seekers and refugees, and the fact that the government and policy-makers have the greatest voice within the media has important implications for the way in which the public view refugees and asylum seekers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.
