Conference organizers and/or faculty included University of Colorado School of Law professors Betsy Rieke, David H. Getches, Michael A. Gheleta and Charles F. Wilkinson.

All across the country--in Congress, in state legislatures and in urban and rural communities--people are discussing why we should or should not protect biodiversity and how best to do so. Since the Endangered Species Act is up for reauthorization, a variety of reform proposals are being debated. Speakers--including natural resource scholars, experts from the private and nonprofit sectors, and government officials--will examine the rationale for biodiversity protection, the legal framework of the Endangered Species Act, and …

For the Western Australian coast, the first set of arrangements took effect in 1987. The OCS of 1995 specifies five arrangements, under which the fisheries inside the 200 nautical mile approximately 370 km limit of the Australian Fishing Zone AFZ come under either State, Commonwealth, or joint control.

Piece Rate Payment Schemes And The Employment Of Women : The Case Of Hong Kong, John S. Heywood, Xiangdong Wei

Centre for Public Policy Studies : CPPS Working Paper Series

Past studies unanimously confirm that establishments with high shares of women workers are much more likely to adopt piece rate schemes. This result follows the presumption that women are poorly motivated by deferred compensation because of their shorter expected tenure. An original survey of establishments provides the first test of the determinants of piece rates in Hong Kong. Unique survey questions identify the presence of deferred compensation for which the share of women was presumably a proxy. Despite these controls and their significance, the share of women fully retains its role. We suggest an alternatives to the received theory behind …

A Pre-Negotiation Guide To The Conflict In Northern Ireland, Padraig O'Malley

McCormack Graduate School General Publications (active until 2013)

On September 1, 1994, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) declared a ceasefire.

The declaration was potentially one of the most significant developments in Irish history since Ireland was partitioned in 1920. It represented, or at the time it seemed to represent, an acknowledgement by the IRA and its political wing, Sinn Fein, that Ireland cannot be united by physical force, that the armed struggle of the last twenty five years to drive the British out of Northern Ireland has not worked, that the strategy of "the Long War," based on the premise that if the IRA persisted in its campaign …

Managed Computer System Conceptualization: Knowing When To Say No, Menachmen Monnickendam

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Computer systems in human services are often abandoned after significant investments have already been made. A case study of preventing the utilization of a wrong computer system for a child development center illustrates how managed system conceptualization minimized damage. Critical consciousness and adherence to specific computer implementation technology created an environment which supported recurrent system efficacy evaluation. When the system, as initially conceptualized, could not meet practitioners' needs, early project abandonment was achieved. Some considerations for successful system development in human service are presented.

The Control Of The Monetary And Banking System By The Central Bank Of Nigeria., Paul A. Ogwuma

Bullion

To understand the role of the Central Bank of Nigeria in controlling the system under the prevailing functional arrangement, it would be necessary to relate the conceptual framework of monetary and banking system control to the Bank's experience. To this end, the paper is organised in five sections. After Section One which is the introduction, Section Two examines the conceptual framework of monetary and banking system control. This is followed by Section Three which reviewed the CBN's techniques of control and their changes over the years. Section Four appraises the control measures and ascertains their effectiveness while Section Five provides …

Nigeria's Domestic Public Debt Stock: An Assessment., Victor A. Odozi

Bullion

Since the early 1980s, Nigeria has taken steps to evolve external debt management strategies encompassing refinancing, restructuring, buyback, collateralisation and debt conversion arrangements as well as issuing external borrowing guidelines. Although the county's external debt problem remains severe, judging both by the absolute level of the debt stock and the unsustainable trend of the various debt servicing ratios, such as debt stock/GDP, debt stock/exports and debt service/export earnings, it is generally acknowledged that the Government had made concerted efforts to address the problem. However, the domestic debt has not been given the same attention, if any at all. the domestic …

Fiscal Federalism: Revenue Allocation For Economic Development In Nigeria., T. O. Okunrounmu

Bullion

From colonial administration to independence in 1960 and 35 years of self-rule, revenue allocation in the Federal Republic of Nigeria has had a chequered history. It has been subject of intensive lobbying by politicians in the attempt to have their wishes engrained in the Constitution. This paper is prepared in three parts. Part I is a theoretical overview of fiscal federalism while Part II reviews the Nigerian experience with Fiscal Federalism. Part III analyses proposals for an effective fiscal Federalism that would enhance economic development.

Mobilising Financial Resources For Growth: Nigeria's Financial Policy Perspective., Felix U. Ezeuduji

Bullion

Financial resources for growth are from several sources because no single source could provide the required funding. The major known sources of resources for growth are based to both the informal sector and formal sector activities which include the fiscal operations of the Government foreign sector transactions, capital market activities, and institutional savings mobilisation in the financial sector which is the focus of this paper. This paper is organised in five sections. The introduction constitutes Section One which provides the background, the objective and the organisation of the paper. In section Two, the conceptual framework of financial resource mobilisation is …

The Strategy And Financing Of Economic Recovery In Africa., Ubadigbo Okonkwo

Bullion

The paper examines the impact of Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAP) on investment and growth in Africa and suggests the need for a new development paradigm. Working in partnership with the private sector, African Governments must establish a sound institutional and incentive framework for rapid growth. An alternative development strategy should be market-friendly and people-centred and must give priority to the accelerated expansion of exports and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). In view of the bleak prospects for external financing, Africa must rely on domestic financial institutions and capital markets to mobilise the required financial resources for economic recovery.
