Revolutionary Idealists To Revolutionary Statesmen: Bolshevik Foreign Policy, 1914 To 1922, Benjamin Carlos Montoya
Revolutionary Idealists To Revolutionary Statesmen: Bolshevik Foreign Policy, 1914 To 1922, Benjamin Carlos Montoya
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
From 1917 to 1922, the Bolsheviks conducted a foreign policy that melded their background in Marxist ideology with the exigencies of state power. The Bolsheviks believed an international revolution would imitate their socialist revolution of October 1917. When it became clear this would not happen, V. I. Lenin and his comrades chose to preserve their revolution in Russia; The Bolsheviks believed peace would induce revolution throughout war-torn Europe. After the October Revolution the Bolsheviks immediately sought an end to the Great War. Only Germany accepted this proposal of peace, however, and the Bolsheviks were forced to accept a harsh peace …

Decision Tools Manual Humanitarian Mine Action Projects, Cisr
Global CWD Repository
In 2003, the United States Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs/Weapons Removal and Abatement, (PM/WRA) tasked the James Madison University Mine Action Information Center (MAIC) with producing a cost-benefit analysis of two demining programs to be used to develop a model to analyze the quantitative impacts, expected results, and suggested prioritization of mine clearance activities. Prioritization was to be accomplished within the context of socio-economic development programs. Lessons learned from UN guidance, earlier studies, experts in the mine action community, and field studies influenced the development of the decision tool for prioritization of humanitarian mine action projects.
The MAIC …

A Painless Tax Or Robin Hood Reversed? The Ethical Dilemmas Of State-Sponsored Lotteries, William Hatcher
A Painless Tax Or Robin Hood Reversed? The Ethical Dilemmas Of State-Sponsored Lotteries, William Hatcher
The Corinthian
Over the last forty years, states and localities have been faced with the dilemma of how to raise sufficient revenue without upsetting great portions of the electorate with a tax increase. One manner by which they have dealt with this predicament is to institute state lotteries. New Hampshire started the trend in 1964 when it instituted a lottery system to supplement its dire revenue situation. New York and New Jersey soon followed suit by establishing their own lottery system. Today, thirty-nine states operate some type of lottery system. It definitely can be asserted that lotteries are the most widely accepted …
The Noxious Weeds Act 1993 (Nsw) – Balancing People, Planet And Profit?, E. Arcioni
The Noxious Weeds Act 1993 (Nsw) – Balancing People, Planet And Profit?, E. Arcioni
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
Does the legislative system of weeds management in NSW balance the interests of people, planet and profit? Weeds pose a threat to agriculture, human health and the natural environment and therefore require management to address those threats. Such management is challenged by the need to balance the negative effects of weeds on a variety of interests with the financial costs and detrimental side-effects of the weed management itself. The central legal element of the weed management system in New South Wales is the Noxious Weeds Act 1993 (NSW). The Act cannot be considered in isolation. It must be considered in …

A Policy Analysis Of Nevada's Middle School Retention Legislation, Julie Ann Abeyta
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
In 1997, the Nevada State Legislature passed Assembly Bill 376 permitting the State Board of Education to adopt credit requirements that students must meet prior to being promoted from eighth grade to high school. A resulting State Board of Education regulation requires that a student earn one-and-one-half credits in language and one-and-one-half credits in mathematics during seventh and eighth grades to merit promotion to high school; While much attention has been given to the issue of retention and social promotion in large urban school districts such as Chicago and New York City, little investigation has been directed to smaller, rural …

Self-Stabilizing Inter-Domain Policy Routing, Venkatakrishnan Trichy Ramasubramanian
Self-Stabilizing Inter-Domain Policy Routing, Venkatakrishnan Trichy Ramasubramanian
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
As the complexity of the networked systems increases, the likelihood of experiencing unanticipated faults grows. Self-stabilization is the most general technique to design fault tolerant systems. This paradigm was introduced by Dijkstra in 1974. A self-stabilizing system guarantees that starting from an arbitrary state, the system converges to a legal state in a finite number of steps and remains in a legal state until another fault occurs. Such a system after any unexpected perturbation eventually recovers without any outside intervention; The goal of this thesis research is to design a self-stabilizing Inter Domain Policy Routing Algorithm in order to make …
On Preemption, Congressional Intent, And Conflict Of Laws, Mary J. Davis
On Preemption, Congressional Intent, And Conflict Of Laws, Mary J. Davis
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Conflicts scholars and jurists for centuries have sought an answer to the question of "what law controls?" by balancing a number of considerations. Chief among those considerations are the legitimate political and policy concerns of conflicting sovereigns. This article analyzes the Supreme Court's recent preemption decisions with an understanding of these theories and their underlying considerations. That analysis reveals that the Court's recent preemption decisions incorporate two modem conflict of laws theories: Governmental Interest Analysis and its corollary, Comparative Impairment. Each of these theories builds on the notion that a choice of law analysis should be motivated by selecting the …

The Human Right To Housing: Making The Case In U.S. Advocacy, Maria Foscarinis, Brad Paul, Bruce Porter, Andrew Scherer
Articles & Chapters
American anti-poverty advocates are increasingly focusing on expressing homelessness as a violation of fundamental human rights. Conceptualizing homelessness as a human rights violation can help add legal content to advocacy goals, and help build support for the housing resources, policy changes, and improved legal protective measures needed to ensure access to housing.
This article explores the right to housing in domestic and international law, how to evaluate compliance with the right in the United States, and how to employ legal strategies in support of claims to the right. Theauthors review the status of international law in U. S. law and …
