Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The fate of freedom, democracy and the state of human rights in countries has primarily been determined by local actors. Therefore, the ability of foreigner actors to influence the course of events from abroad is limited to certain tools that can either help or harm the democratic progress within these societies. How effective this role can be is highly dependent on the foreign actor¿s understanding of the local situation and their ability to navigate the different foreign policy interests of the various actors involved. Given this reality, this study aims to answer the following questions: Can aid conditionality help promote democracy Specifically, should the United States condition its foreign aid to countries like Egypt and Pakistan in order to promote democracy How and under what conditions can the US use this tool successfully Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This work deals with gambling behavior, both from the point of view of decision theory and with regard to the Czech gambling experience. Gambling at actuarially unfair odds is commonplace, yet the standard model of consumer choice cannot explain this phenomenon owing to the usual assumption of risk aversion. Theories of decision under risk dealing with betting behavior and answering the question why people gamble are surveyed. The phenomenon can be explained by adjustments within the expected utility theory, but non-expected utility models provide an alternative approach that seems to be descriptively more accurate. In the second part fundamental points of the Czech gambling reality are covered with the aim to provide a comprehensive overview as a tool for future researchers. The empirical part proceeds with analysis of socio-economic determinants of gambling participation and expenditure, to our knowledge for the first time based on Czech data. Given the absence of specialized micro-level data, two independent data sources from general expenditure surveys have been used. Strong conclusions for public policy could not be reached but the analysis still provides valuable insights.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -In the last decades the airline industry had to deal with problems including: intensified competition from low cost carriers, higher customer expectations, more price-sensitive customers, rising fuel prices, rising airport charges and higher operating costs. Air Malta was not immune from these evils and, since 2001, its operating environment became increasingly complex. In November 2010 Malta notified the European Commission that it was applying for rescue aid for its national flag carrier. This book analyses the negotiations surrounding the restructuring of Air Malta up to the date its rescue package was sent to the European Commission. Using the models developed by Northwestern University, the Wharton School of Business, and Harvard Business School, the author highlights how the parties involved in Air Maltäs restructuring have been engaged in ¿shadow bargaining,¿ awaiting a European Commission ¿Green Light¿ to begin real negotiations. Using examples of other airlines that went through restructurings, the author also illustrates how ¿win-win¿ negotiations are possible for Air Malta, if a different business model is adopted by the parties.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The purpose of this work is to investigate the direct and reverse relationship between foreign independent directors (FIDs) on the boards and different stages of cross-border M&A transactions of Swedish companies. The results have demonstrated the confirmation of reverse relation between board composition in terms of nationality diversity and foreign acquisition activity. The presence of foreign independent director in the boardroom of Swedish company may not be considered as a signal of the firm intention to expand internationally via cross-border M&A. However, overseas M&A deal leads to the appointment of FID for further assistance in more successful performance. Therefore, the globalization of the company¿s activity results in the internationalization of its board.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Financial development enhances human development, and access to financial services makes a positive impact on people's lives particularly poor people. In addition, financial development reduces income inequality and boosts incomes. Over the last few decades, policymakers have considered financial sector reforms that promote financial inclusion. This paper attempts to show how financial inclusion is correlated with standard measures of economic development and economic well-being. To this end, we first measure the extent of financial inclusion by comparing economies and regions over time. Then, using this index of financial inclusion, we identify the factors associated with financial inclusion using a simple econometric model. This book, provides a new index of financial inclusion for Turkey and EU and this measurement has been developed to allow for comparison of other EU countries with Turkey in terms of financial inclusion and how ¿improved¿ financial inclusion can impact Turkey and EU member countries.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The book¿ subject is 'forms of the contemporary society', such a 'concrete images', that are very hard, almost 'promethean', to describe but 'in the medium range' (Merton). It can be done through its 'shapes', its self-definition and self-reproduction processes that make the (even modest) sociologist, a real 'entronaut', to do constant reembedding and conceptual disembedding operations, that appear acrobatically correct and aim to continuously build 'the discourse on a discourse', belonging to it and making it meaningful. 'Thinking sociologically' (Bauman) mainly means a disciplined look that is methodologically grounded on daily practices, revised in cognitive maps overcoming the immediacy and situatedness of the practice itself and making to talk about 'social science' possible.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -In Human stages of life, the first five years of life, which consists mainly of children, are the most fundamental to human physical and intellectual development and can determine their potential to gain knowledge and thrive for a lifetime. It is vital to reveal that: for young children, every single moment of life counts. Mortality of the child is being influenced by underlying factors, both biological and socio-economic. In recent years, early mortality (i.e. mortality before the age of five) in developing countries has been receiving considerable research attention from scholars interested in population-development interactions. With these, it is therefore of paramount essence to identify the factors most prominent in the determining of the childhood mortality, so as to be able to combat them. In this book, the knowledge and understanding of the silent child killer; the under-five mortality, is revealed with focus on the south west region of Nigeria.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book is about the impact of few selected advertisements on children. The target age groups are from 3 to 17 which would be divided into three groups. Five ages per group. Group 1: age 3 to 7, Group 2: age 8 to 12 and Group 3: age 13 to 17. Each of these age groups are affected in different ways. Some are effected mentally, and some physically. But these effects would not take effect a child immediately; it would take effect as the child grows. This is because no matter how the advertisements are made, most of the children never understand the effects on the advertisements and since they like the creativity in the advertisements they actually consume the product. No matter what the product is, let it be from a chocolate to an electronic product like an Air Conditioner.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Most developing countries are increasingly focusing on domestic resource mobilization towards economic development. In this context, tax performance is of crucial importance as it is prime source for domestic resource mobilization. One of the striking features of Pakistan economy has been the inability of successive governments to maintain fiscal discipline on a sustained basis. There are many reasons for low tax revenue like underground economy, tax evasion,tax exemptions, smuggling, black marketing, narrow and elastic tax system that relies heavily on indirect taxes and poor tax administration. Traditionally, tax effort has been used as an indicator of how much a country is utilizing its taxable capacity. In simplest form, tax effort is measured as a ratio of tax revenue to a simple tax base, such as GDP. However, this does not typically give the proper measure of a country's tax potential, since there are several other factors like economic structure, level of economic development and political constraints on fiscal system. Therefore, in this book more desirable tax effort is calculated by regressing the tax-GDP ratio on tax base along with other structural factors.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Concern Worldwide, an International NGO, has worked in Zambia in partnership with the Mongu Farmers Association (MDFA) since 2002 to improve the livelihood security of men and women in rural Mongu district of Zambia. The book shows levels of women¿s and men¿s participation in the project regarding labour input and decision-making power, benefits enjoyed and the gender specific factors responsible. Women¿s participation in Concern Worldwide project activities and enjoyment of benefits was lower compared to the men. Majority of men had access to information on project activities, run the project and earned high status and prestige in the community. The gendered outcomes are attributed to some cultural beliefs and attitudes in the community favourable to men but restrictive to women; gender imbalance and insensitivity in the executive committees; low education among women; lack of a gender mainstreaming strategy to address gender issues that constrained women¿s participation; and poor communication skills among the MDFA leadership. The book recommends that organisations involved in livelihoods take a gender mainstreaming approach in implementing poverty reduction programmes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This work describes the style of management of Dr. William Gorgas as he led the public health effort to reduce diseases to a level that permitted the completion of the Panama Canal construction. Initially, Gorgas was skeptical of the mosquito vector theory. He fully accepted this theory after participating in Walter Reed¿s massive cleanup of Havana, Cuba during the Spanish American War of 1898. During 1905 to 1914, Gorgas was selected to lead the sanitary effort during the construction of the Panama Canal. The lessons learned from this historical case study provide public health administrators with guidance to effectively lead current and future infectious diseases threats. Understanding styles of management within the context of disease control is essential in tackling epidemics like yellow fever and other infectious diseases.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.
