United Nations as Peacekeeper and Nation-builder Brill Academic Publishing

Polityka

In the wake of the Iraq War, what lies ahead for the United Nations as peacekeeper and nation-builder? What lessons were learnt in Afghanistan and Iraq, what reforms could they entail, how do UN efforts fare as compared with those of the United States, and what will be, in the next decade, the most pressing challenges confronting the Organization? Will the United Nations, in its current form and within the new global power structure, be able to remain relevant, retain its ideals and still respond meaningfully to mounting international tensions? These were some of the questions tackled by a group of eminent scholars and practitioners, many directly and personally involved with multilateral or unilateral peace operations. In addition to the larger issues of peacekeeping and peace-building and the recommendations for historical reform suggested by the

Opis - Pierwsze na świecie świadectwo ofiary zbrodni honorowej. Miała siedemnaście lat i zakochała się: zhańbiła rodzinę. Więc rodzina wydała na nią wyrok śmierci... Pokochała go pierwszą miłością. Myślała, że się z nią ożeni. Ale ukochany zniknął, a ona odkryła, że jest w ciąży. A w jej świecie to najcięższa zbrodnia... W zapomnianej przez Boga wiosce w Cisjordanii kobiety są warte mniej niż zwierzęta domowe. Tu mężczyzna jest panem życia i śmierci żony, córki, siostry. Brat może bezkarnie zabić siostrę, matka - córkę, kolejną bezużyteczną dziewczynkę, jaka się urodzi. Tu kobiecie odbiera się godność, a nawet życie zgodnie z odwiecznym obyczajem i uświęconą tradycją. A śmierć jest karą dla dziewczyny, która zhańbi rodzinę. Tak jak Souad. Wyrok wydaje jej ojciec. Szwagier dokonuje egzekucji. Oblewa Souad benzyną i podpala... SOUAD przeżyła - cudem, ale rodzina usiłowała zabić ją nawet w szpitalu. Na zawsze jednak pozostanie straszliwie okaleczona - na ciele i duszy. I wciąż musi się ukrywać; dopóki żyje, jej rodzinę okrywa hańba. Spalona żywcem, opublikowana pod pseudonimem szokująca opowieść o piekle, jakim było jej dzieciństwo i młodość, stała się międzynarodowym bestsellerem. Wydana w 37 w krajach książka przerywa tabu milczenia wobec istniejącej nadal w krajach muzułmańskich barbarzyńskiej tradycji. Nieludzkiego obyczaju, prawa mężczyzn, na mocy którego co najmniej pięć tysięcy kobiet pada co roku ofiarą zbrodni honorowej. Nazwa - Spalona Żywcem Wyd.

Bill Bryson's View Both of Great Britain and the United States of America in 'Notes from a Small IslandÄ and 'Notes from a Big Country' GRIN Verlag

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Literature, printed single-sided, grade: 3,0, University of Marburg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Transatlantic Stereotyping - Views From / About Both Sides of the Ocean, 46 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Criticism of Bryson s novels is not advanced but his narratives can be investigated in§terms of genre, intertextuality, language, and nationality. This paper expands on the topic of§Bryson s view both of Great Britain and the United States of America by means of national§stereotyping as it emerges from his novels Notes from a Small Island (1995) and Notes from a§Big Country (1998). I maintain that Bryson depicts Britain and America in an authentic and§educative as well as hilarious and exaggerated manner to emphasize differences between the§nations in question. I will prove my thesis that Bryson both criticises and praises British and§American values which affect the national character. Bryson conveys his national views both§from the perspective of an insider and outsider.§William Bill McGuire Bryson was born in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1951. In 1973, he§travelled to England where he became acquainted with his wife, Cynthia Billen, with whom§he has four children. Bryson lived in Yorkshire, returned to America to graduate in 1995, and§resided with his family in Norfolk, in 2003. While in America Bryson is well-known for§elaborating on the English language, he accomplished bestseller standing with travelogues in§Great Britain.1 Although he claims not to be a travel writer because he stumbled into this§genre , Bryson composes books on travel and the English language in which his wanderlust and eccentricity promise a unique reading adventure (Oder 191).§Travel writing is a neglected but miscellaneous genre of ancient times which§flourished in the sixteenth century and encompasses narratives of expansionism, such as§encyclopaedic accounts of foreign nations, and became the principal negotiator of propagating§stereotypes in colonial novels. While Bryson s journey novel Notes from a Small Island§depicts the Great Britain he adores, he grudgingly wrote columns about America which§resulted in his journalistic novel Notes from a Big Country.2

Still Me Ballantine Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

When the first Superman movie came out I was frequently asked 'What is a hero?' I remember the glib response I repeated so many times. My answer was that a hero is someone who commits a courageous action without considering the consequences--a soldier who crawls out of a foxhole to drag an injured buddy to safety. And I also meant individuals who are slightly larger than life: Houdini and Lindbergh, John Wayne, JFK, and Joe DiMaggio. Now my definition is completely different. I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles: a fifteen-year-old boy who landed on his head while wrestling with his brother, leaving him barely able to swallow or speak; Travis Roy, paralyzed in the first thirty seconds of a hockey game in his freshman year at college. These are real heroes, and so are the families and friends who have stood by them." The whole world held its breath when Christopher Reeve struggled for life on Memorial Day, 1995. On the third jump of a riding competition, Reeve was thrown headfirst from his horse in an accident that broke his neck and left him unable to move or breathe. In the years since then, Reeve has not only survived, but has fought for himself, for his family, and for the hundreds of thousands of people with spinal cord injuries in the United States and around the world. And he has written Still Me, the heartbreaking, funny, courageous, and hopeful story of his life. Chris describes his early success on Broadway opposite the legendary Katherine Hepburn, the adventure of filming Superman on the streets of New York, and how the movie made him a star. He continued to move regularly betweenfilm acting and theater work in New York, Los Angeles, and at the WIlliamstown Theatre Festival in the Berkshires. Reunited with his Bostonians director, James Ivory, in 1992, he traveled to England to work with Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins in The Remains of the Day.

Managing ownership and succession in family firms - Surdej Aleksander, Wach Krzysztof

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Family firms have become a topic of the utmost interest both for academic researchers and policy makers. Researchers have started to investigate the distinctiveness of family firms, their functioning and efficiency outcomes. Policy makers have been reacting to the problems of economic development arising from the domination of family-owned and family-controlled firms in many economies. This book provides an analytical study of control, ownership and succession in family firms. It includes nine chapters written by scholars from different countries, namely the United States of America, Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Poland and Nigeria. "To better grasp the relationship between economic growth, firm behaviour, and policy, we need a handle on the complexity of family firms. This book is therefore to be welcomed. Its rigorous and strongly empirical essays add valuable knowledge to our understanding of the most distinctive aspects of family firms: their efficiency, funding and control. Admirably it achieves this by integrating research from both economics and management." Prof. Wim Naudé, WIDER, United Nations University, Helsinki ?

Excerpt: Raoul Wallenberg (August 4, 1912 July 17, 1947?) was a Swedish humanitarian who worked in Budapest, Hungary, during World War II to rescue Jews from the Holocaust. Between July and December 1944, he issued protective passports and housed Jews in buildings established as Swedish territory, saving tens of thousands of lives. On January 17, 1945, he was taken into detention by the Soviets after they entered Budapest, and was reported to have died on July 7, 1947 while in their custody. The circumstances of his death have long been in question, with some disputing whether he died while in Soviet detention. In 1981, Congressman Tom Lantos, among those saved by Wallenberg, sponsored a bill making Wallenberg an Honorary Citizen of the United States. He is also an honorary citizen of Canada, Hungary, and Israel. Israel has also designated Wallenberg one of the Righteous among the Nations. Monuments have been dedicated to him, and streets have been named after him throughout the world. A Raoul Wallenberg Committee of the United States was created in 1981 to "perpetuate the humanitarian ideals and the nonviolent courage of Raoul Wallenberg". It gives the Raoul Wallenberg Award annually to recognize persons who carry out those goals. A postage stamp was issued by the U.S. in his honor in 1997. Wallenberg as a boyWallenberg was born in 1912 in Kappsta, Lidingö, near Stockholm, where his maternal grandparents, professor Per Johan Wising and his wife Sophie Wising, had built a summer house in 1882. His paternal grandfather, Gustaf Wallenberg, was a diplomat and envoy to Tokyo, Istanbul and Sofia. His parents, who married in 1911, were Raoul Oscar Wallenberg (1888 1912), a Swedish naval officer who died of cancer three months before his son was born, and Maria "Maj" Sofia Wising (1891 1979). In 1918, his mother married Fredrik von Dardel (d. 1979); they had a son, Guy von Dardel, and a daughter, Nina Lagergren. In 1931, Wallenberg went to study architecture at the University of
