The Other Somalia Part 1 - Illicit Trade And The Hidden Economy, Norman Miller

Dartmouth Scholarship

In the hot, dry, strangely beautiful land of Somalia, the first issue of the day is politics: politics of survival for the Barre regime, politics of food for the burgeoning refugee camps, politics of the East-West encounter here on the Horn of Africa. The other issue is the economy, particularly the invisible, irregular, illegal economy. Somalia's story is roughly comparable to the current "second economy” analysis of the Soviet Union which suggests a large sector of that system is extralegal, undercover, and in subversion of bureaucratic regulation-"the taxi driver can arrange it" system.

Planning Your Career A Workshop Series For Women, Carole Davis

Publications

Your questions regarding career choice are no doubt directed toward the choice of a paid occupation. However, a career is more than a way to earn a living. A career is a Way of Living. You are, in fact, already well into your career and have been involved in the career development process since you were very young. Whether you realize it or not, you have already assumed a number of work roles-student, homemaker, babysitter, office worker, volunteer, just to name a few. Although you have undoubtedly made some conscious and independent decisions about your career, many of your decisions, …

Policy Alternatives In Soviet Environmental Protection., Charles E. Ziegler

Faculty Scholarship

A number of developments over the past decade or so illustrate the increasing salience of environmental problems for Soviet policy makers. In the mid-1960s, controversy over the potential pollution of Lake Baikal appears to have stimulated and legitimized environmental protection as an issue for discussion in the Soviet press. The output of scholarly books and articles by philosophers, economists, biologists, physicists, and sociologists reflects the broad range of organizations concerned with these questions. Support is also evident in high places-Brezhnev's report to the 25th Party Congress in 1976 emphasized the importance of environmental protection and announced that 11 billion rubles …

A Guide To Revenue Administration For Small Cities, Institute Of Urban Studies

Institute of Urban Studies Publications

Commencing with California's passage of Proposition 13, cities and towns throughout the nation have been compelled to re-examine their reliance on traditional revenue sources. Whether or not there has in fact been a universal "taxpayer revolt", the economic conditions of the past few years have caused both city officials and the public at large to seek relief from the increasing burden of the property tax. Believing that an analysis of other municipal revenue sources, whether existing or potential, might benefit Texas cities and towns, the Institute of Urban Studies obtained a grant under Title I of the Higher Education Act …

A History Of The Portland Waterfront Between Southwest Clay And Washington Streets, Its Land Use And Legal Problems, Jeffrey G. Carter

Dissertations and Theses

Between 1845 and 1980 the Portland waterfront between southwest Washington and Clay Streets, east of Front Street, metamorphosed from wilderness to trade center, to highway, to inner-city vacant lot. No place in Portland has more graphically illustrated the rapidly changing forces of the modern age in which the city has grown.

For much of its history this stretch of waterfront was mired in law suits. The struggles centered on public versus private ownership. Originally dedicated as public property, but left unimproved by the city, the waterfront was usurped by private investors. Eventually, private owners allowed their property to decay prompting …

The Politics Of Repression: Argentina, 1976-79, Nattasin Chongsanguan

Masters Theses

Argentina in 1976 was a place of unusual paradox. The government with more than 60% of the popular vote seemed to have crumbled to the ground with almost no backing from those who had put it into office. Its downfall was due to its inability to resolve the "national crisis" facing the nation.

On 24 March 1976, the military finally intervened via a coup d'etat. Under the new regime, violations of human rights have been reported and protests have been made by leading human rights movements. The military junta argues that its policies and course of actions are necessary for …
