Globalization: Winners And Losers - Talking Points, Derek Wilmott Jan 2008

Globalization: Winners And Losers - Talking Points, Derek Wilmott

Publications

Supporters of free trade argue that globalization increases economic prosperity as well as opportunity, especially among developing nations. Critics argue that globalization has led to the exploitation of both workers and the environment, while contributing to the destabilization of undeveloped nations. Can free trade enhance civil liberties, lead more efficient allocation of resources, and increase prosperity through globalization? Or are the critics right?

Education And Promotion Of Human Rights From A European And American Perspective, Rett R. Ludwikowski Jan 2008

Education And Promotion Of Human Rights From A European And American Perspective, Rett R. Ludwikowski

Scholarly Articles

What are the concrete goals of human rights education and what obstacles may restrain the development of successful educational projects? What do we actually teach and how advanced are our educational programs in general, and academic education in particular? Is there a concrete consensus on the interdependencies between different types of human rights, their hierarchy, and the standards of their protection? Is an optimistic attitude regarding the universalistic doctrine of human rights fully rooted in facts? How may we communicate to our students the concept of universally recognized, irremovable, and interdependent rights while acknowledging the many ethical, religious and cultural …

An Exploration Of The Career Paths Of Industry Accountants In A Public Accounting World, Amy R. Wolf Jan 2008

An Exploration Of The Career Paths Of Industry Accountants In A Public Accounting World, Amy R. Wolf

Honors Capstones

Accounting is one of the hottest careers with many job options available to accounting graduates. Most people believe all accountants are Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and work for public accounting firms; however, many work as industry accountants. Despite this fact, today's educational programs often focus on preparing students for public accounting careers. Through the primary research of this study, the Accountant Career Path Survey, 31 industry accountants reported their career paths and rated how well their education helped them develop a variety of skills. The respondents also rated the importance of these skills to their success in the jobs they …

Innocent Initiations: Female Agency In Eroticized Fairy Tales, Jeana Jorgensen Jan 2008

Innocent Initiations: Female Agency In Eroticized Fairy Tales, Jeana Jorgensen

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Bawdy folktales have generated controversy and scholarship for centuries, and their literary, sexually explicit descendants, eroticized fairy tales, are also deserving of attention. Marketed in short story collections as erotica, eroticized fairy tales use fairy-tale characters, plots, and themes as the setting for sexual adventures. Some of these tales focus on a naïve heroine’s initiation into sexual pleasure without her knowing precisely what is going on. I have termed these “innocent initiation” tales. Their use of traditional fairy-tale motifs contributes to discourse about female sexuality, agency, and objectification.

The Airy And The Irrational: Elaborating On The Meanings Of The Petimetra From A Selection Of Goya’S Caprichos And The Spanish Periodical El Censor*, Ana Hontanilla Jan 2008

The Airy And The Irrational: Elaborating On The Meanings Of The Petimetra From A Selection Of Goya’S Caprichos And The Spanish Periodical El Censor*, Ana Hontanilla

Decimonónica

In the final years of the eighteenth century, a number of Francisco de Goya’s etchings from his collection known as Caprichos visually inscribed the female within the literary production of his time, most evidently perhaps within the satirical publication El Censor.1 The eighteenth-century Spanish female prototype, depicted in a number of El Censor’s essays and later seen in a few of Goya’s Caprichos, was the petimetra: a cultural invention employed and exploited with misogynist tone. The petimetra was a contemporary fashionably dressed woman, mainly adopting French styles, who may equally have been a member of the …

Do Reasonable Efforts Require Cultural Competence - The Importance Of Culturally Competent Reunification Services In The California Child Welfare System, Nell Clement Jan 2008

Do Reasonable Efforts Require Cultural Competence - The Importance Of Culturally Competent Reunification Services In The California Child Welfare System, Nell Clement

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

Despite the disproportionate number of culturally diverse families represented in the California child welfare system, there exists no statutory requirement that families in crisis be provided with reunification services that are culturally competent. This note examines the evolution of the child welfare system in United States in recent decades and the current child welfare law in California. This note discusses the negative effect of removal of culturally diverse children from their families and communities and the specific aspects of the child welfare system that play a part in this removal. Clement concludes by advocating for statutory recognition of culture in …

Transnational Law, Peer Zumbansen Jan 2008

Transnational Law, Peer Zumbansen

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

This chapter traces the development of the concept of Transnational Law since Philip Jessup's Storrs Lectures at Yale Law School in 1955. Jessup had famously challenged the doctrinal and conceptual boundaries of both public and private international law to suggest that another concept be more adequately suited to capture the myriad normative and transactional relations across national borders. "I shall use", Jessup wrote, "the term 'transnational law' to include all law which regulates actions or events that transcend national frontiers. Both public and private international law are included, as are other rules which do not wholly fit into such standard …

New Governance' In European Corporate Law Regulation As Transnational Legal Pluralism, Peer Zumbansen Jan 2008

New Governance' In European Corporate Law Regulation As Transnational Legal Pluralism, Peer Zumbansen

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

The present transformation of European corporate governance regulation mirrors the challenges that have been facing the EUs continuously evolving polity, marked by tensions between centralized integration programs on the one hand and Member States embedded capitalisms, path-dependencies and rent-seeking on the other. As longstanding concerns with remaining obstacles to more mobility for workers, services, business entities and capital in recent years are aligned with post-Lisbon commitments to creating the Worlds leading competitive market, European corporate governance regulation [ECGR] has become exposed to and implicated in a set of highly dynamic regulatory experiments. In this context, New Governance offers itself as …

Reconceptualizing Law And Politics In The Transnational Constitutional And Legal Pluralist Approaches, Ruth Buchanan Jan 2008

Reconceptualizing Law And Politics In The Transnational Constitutional And Legal Pluralist Approaches, Ruth Buchanan

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

Despite the apparent fluidity that characterizes this historical moment as well as this moment in legal scholarship, this paper argues that there is also an enduring rigidity in the persistence of a modernist conception of law. In the way that the important questions raised for legal scholars in the current moment are identified as questions for legal theory, they are also already 'framed' in terms of a particular approach to the relationship between legality and legitimacy. This is revealed in debates over post-national constitutionalism which, even as they purport to transcend the nation-state, fail to escape some form of reinscription …

Indigenous Self-Determination And The State, Shin Imai Jan 2008

Indigenous Self-Determination And The State, Shin Imai

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

The right of indigenous self-determination is now accepted at both the national and international level, but the exercise of the right to self-determination does not connote any specific institutional arrangement. This chapter, from the forthcoming book, "Indigenous Peoples and the Law: Comparative and Critical Perspectives", (Hart Publishing, Oxford), describes a variety of arrangements in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. Indigenous people have the greatest political autonomy in the sovereignty/self-government model found in the United States and in the latest self government agreements from Canada. The self-administration/self-management model provides for indigenous entities to deliver social services and educational …

Exploring Interdisciplinary Prayer Research In A Health Context, E. James Baesler Jan 2008

Exploring Interdisciplinary Prayer Research In A Health Context, E. James Baesler

Communication & Theatre Arts Faculty Publications

Communication, Psychology, and Sociology are three leading academic disciplines engaged in the social scientific study of prayer, the spiritual communication between a believer(s) and God, but rarely do these disciplines collaborate in interdisciplinary prayer scholarship. Possibilities for interdisciplinary prayer research in a health context are explored through a review of the literature and academic interviews. Interdisciplinary linkages in the prayer-health context are organized in an integral "all-quadrant" theoretical model, and an assessment of the viability of interdisciplinary prayer-health research is considered.

Enforcing Environmental Human Rights: Selected Strategies Of Us Ngos, Jennifer Cassel Jan 2008

Enforcing Environmental Human Rights: Selected Strategies Of Us Ngos, Jennifer Cassel

Northwestern Journal of Human Rights

In spite of the clear link between environmental harm and human rights violations, international human rights law which contemplates environmental destruction as a violation of human rights has only recently begun to emerge, and clear definitions of environmental human rights have yet to be formulated. Scholars in the field have proposed different concepts of environmental rights, including environmental rights as new, separate human rights, and environmental rights as encompassed within previously established human rights. Three non-governmental organizations, Earthjustice, the Center for International Environmental Law ("CIEL"), and Earthrights, have strategically used those concepts in their pursuit of enforcing environmental human rights. …

Immigrant Remittances, Ezra Rosser Jan 2008

Immigrant Remittances, Ezra Rosser

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Remittances, the sending of money from immigrants back to their home countries, are the newest anti-poverty, development activity of the poor to be applauded by international institutions and economists. Exceeding foreign aid and private investment to many developing countries, remittances are being hailed as a new, untapped resource with powerful poverty alleviation and potential development attributes. After presenting the poverty, developmental, and economic characteristics of this new transnational connection between immigrants and their loved ones, as well as the dangerous effects of excessive remittance regulation, the author argues that remittances should be understood as an anti-poverty tool, but not as …

Diagnosing Anencephaly In Archaeology: A Comparative Analysis Of Nine Clinical Specimens From The Smithsonian Institution Nation, Stevie Mathews Jan 2008

Diagnosing Anencephaly In Archaeology: A Comparative Analysis Of Nine Clinical Specimens From The Smithsonian Institution Nation, Stevie Mathews

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The inclusion of human fetal skeletons in the archaeological record can reveal much about past cultures' perception of life and death. The preservation of fetal remains in the archaeological record is a rarity, and the discovery of pathological skeletons is even rarer. A fetal skeleton from a Roman period cemetery (c. 31BC - 303AD) in the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt, displays what are thought to be classic skeletal indicators of the neural tube defect, anencephaly. The published literature concerning the skeletal diagnosis of anencephaly is scant so in order to diagnose this individual it is pertinent to create a diagnostic standard. …

Mb 770 The Indigenous Church, Steven Ybarrola

Syllabi

This is an advanced course for students with a solid foundation in missiological anthropology. The format will therefore reflect the advanced standing of the students by giving you a larger share of the responsibility for the course. There will be considerable discussion of material being read for which you must always come well prepared, some lecturing, some films, and a significant amount of time given to student presentations. The focus of the course is on the relationship between Christianity and culture. We will explore how this can engender indigenous churches, or result in syncretism or “split-level” Christianity in both Western …
