Gender & Diversity In Contracting And Grants Management, Gichd, Gender In Mine Action

Global CWD Repository

This toolkit has been developed to assist mine action stakeholders to mainstream gender and diversity in contracting and grants management documentation and practices. The guide is designed for use by a broad range of actors, including:

Target Zero: Why States Choose To Eradicate Infectious Diseases And How They Succeed, Gifty Abraham Feb 2015

Target Zero: Why States Choose To Eradicate Infectious Diseases And How They Succeed, Gifty Abraham

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Realism has remained the dominant paradigm within international relations for most of the modern era, emphasizing the competitive nature of the international arena and the unlikeliness of states to within it to cooperate. The attempts and further still, successes, by states to eradicate infectious diseases--which remain among the most cooperative enterprises--present a number of challenges to realism's assumptions, particularly with respect to the unlikely world historical-times during which the eradication campaigns took place. As such, a two-part puzzle arises. First, why would states, which are natural competitors, cooperate to eradicate infectious diseases given structural and situational incentives not to do …


Inmate-, Incident-, And Facility-Level Factors Associated With Escapes From Custody And Violent Outcomes, Bryce E. Peterson Feb 2015

Inmate-, Incident-, And Facility-Level Factors Associated With Escapes From Custody And Violent Outcomes, Bryce E. Peterson

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Introduction: Preventing escapes from custody is a critical function of prisons, jails, and the individuals who run these correctional facilities. Escapes are a popular topic in the news, among lawmakers, and in public discourse. Much of this interest stems from the widespread notion that escapees pose a serious threat to public safety, as well to the safety of correctional staff and law enforcement officers tasked with preventing and apprehending them. However, despite the importance of preventing escapes and minimizing violence, there has been very little empirical research on these issues in the past several decades. Extant research has also been …


Managing Classified Information: Transparency And Government Surveillance Progam A Comparison Between The Bush Administration And The Obama Administration, Ismail Soujaa Jan 2015

Managing Classified Information: Transparency And Government Surveillance Progam A Comparison Between The Bush Administration And The Obama Administration, Ismail Soujaa

Student Theses and Dissertations

As of policy choices, the two presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush took different approaches towards transparency and secrecy. They diverged in their policies of managing federal information and their administrations records. Accordingly, the Bush administration and Obama administration had both implied the concept of transparency a new avenue for the public's participation and communication. Despite the rhetoric and wordy promise of transparency, Presidents Bush and Obama painted their administrations with secrecy and covert operations. They tightened up the cap on their administrations by changing the purpose and text of the Freedom of Information Act. However, there were variations …
