Investing In Russian Securities: Analysis Of Capital Market Development, Mikhail Ratinov

Fordham International Law Journal

Russia works hard to create a capitalistic system. Although only established in 1991, Russia's securities market has already attracted a large number of foreign investors. The American financier George Soros has already invested US $1 billion in the Russian economy. Although experts agree that its potential is enormous, the newborn Russian capital market contains a significant amount of risk. This Essay shows the basic features of the development of the Russian Securities Law, analyzes the present market conditions, and shares some ideas for the near future.

Access Rights: A Necessary Corollary To Custody Rights Under The Hague Convention On The Civil Aspects Of International Child Abduction, Priscilla Steward

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note argues that the aspect of the Hague Abduction Convention addressing access rights is ineffective because it has forced some courts to misconstrue provisions of the Hague Abduction Convention in order to carry out the Convention's intent. This Note further argues that the burden of establishing the absence of a wrongful removal or retention should fall upon the parent who has removed the child. This Note also argues that the Hague Conference should amend the Convention to order a court to enforce previously ordered access rights in the child's new habitual residence. Part I provides an historical background on …

Creating A Culturally Relevant Environment For The African American Learner In The Foreign Language Classroom, Aleidine Kramer Moeller, Mary Ashcraft

Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications

Several developments have transformed the way the foreign language classroom looks, the role the teacher and the learner assume, and the approaches and strategies we use to teach and learn second languages. These changes stem from fundamental gains in the knowledge base of how second languages are acquired and learned as well as experimental inquiry into a variety of educational innovations such as cooperative learning, multiple intelligences, and the integration of technology into the classroom. Qualitative, quantitative, and action research have provided the foreign language profession evidence upon which to make informed decisions to build a classroom environment designed to …

The Social Reconstruction Of Emotions: Insights From Members Of A 12-Step Community, Sandra Coyle

Clinical Sociology Review

Common among many approaches to the study of emotions that are emerging across disciplines is the fundamental proposition that emotions "are emergent properties of social relations and sociocultural processes" (McCarthy 1994: 269). Consistent with Berger's (1977) assessment of ideas, emotions–their meanings and associated behavioral counterparts–are believed to succeed in history by virtue of their relationship to specific social processes. Hence, as Steams and Steams (1994) observed, emotions have histories that are a part of every individual's socializing environment Emotions, then, are social things that are learned and can be relearned (McCarthy 1989).

As in Power (1984), this paper positions the …

On Reconstructing Trust: Time, Intention, And Forgiveness, Linda R. Weber, Allison I. Carter

Clinical Sociology Review

The central focus of this paper is the mechanisms that ordinary people use in their everyday lives to manage relations that have included trust violations. Trust violations provide the impetus for strong emotional experiences. Many relationships recuperate from significant violations of trust, although in a changed form. Our data, gathered from ten in-depth interviews, indicated that on those occasions where individuals deemed the relationship worth salvaging, our respondents and their violators participated in a negotiation process that included the following components: the passing of time, an assessment of the seriousness of the violation and the intent of the other, the …

Humanizing Sociological Thought And Practice, Lynn M. Mulkey

Clinical Sociology Review

This paper introduces a practical application of sociology. It attempts to do so as a modest effort in perceiving varied images of the human and of society. It makes available, as interventions for the treatment of individual crises and for empirical verification, a set of presuppositions about the features and consequences of human social nature. The preponderance of social scientific theories and practices found in the literature have a commonality germane to the definition and resolution of social problems - horizontal change. An optional theory and corresponding set of practices espousing vertical change focus less on the maintenance and content …
