Transcript from Who Profits from Nonprofits? A Symposium on Nonprofit Organizations. I have followed the development of CUNY Law School from its founding, and I really have to salute you.

Understanding Change In International Organizations: Globalization And Innovation In The Ilo, Laurence R. Helfer Jan 2006

I review the ILO's past and its present with two broad objectives in mind. First, I seek to correct a misperception among international lawyers and legal scholars that the ILO is a weak and ineffective institution. The organization's effectiveness in creating and monitoring international labor standards has fluctuated widely during its nearly ninety-year existence. Over the last decade, however, the …

In any event the sources of income that have existed for generations are gone and the economic and psychic pains are much the same.
