Last Utopia Harvard University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Human rights offer a vision of international justice that today's idealistic millions hold dear. Yet the very concept on which the movement is based became familiar only a few decades ago when it profoundly reshaped our hopes for an improved humanity. In this pioneering book, Samuel Moyn elevates that extraordinary transformation to center stage and asks what it reveals about the ideal's troubled present and uncertain future. For some, human rights stretch back to the dawn of Western civilization, the age of the American and French Revolutions, or the post-World War II moment when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was framed. Revisiting these episodes in a dramatic tour of humanity's moral history, "The Last Utopia" shows that it was in the decade after 1968 that human rights began to make sense to broad communities of people as the proper cause of justice. Across eastern and western Europe, as well as throughout the United States and Latin America, human rights crystallized in a few short years as social activism and political rhetoric moved it from the hallways of the United Nations to the global forefront.It was on the ruins of earlier political utopias, Moyn argues, that human rights achieved contemporary prominence. The morality of individual rights substituted for the soiled political dreams of revolutionary communism and nationalism as international law became an alternative to popular struggle and bloody violence. But as the ideal of human rights enters into rival political agendas, it requires more vigilance and scrutiny than when it became the watchword of our hopes.

Petersen, Executive Director, Global Security, Ally Financial "From the perspective of an ethics and compliance practitioner, Martin Biegelman's and Joel Bartow's new offering is a Thanksgiving feast.Too often, companies and organizations get caught up in the moment, and don't stand back to examine the cultural, organizational and historic reasons that fraud exists. Biegelman and Bartow plow that road, and use their insights to offer invaluable tips in the design of effective anti-fraud programs." --James D. Berg, Vice President, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, Apollo Group Inc.

This book is a great asset for those engaged in the seemingly endless struggle to control fraud. A "must read" for the industry. --Raymond L. Philo, MPA, Executive Director, Economic Crime Institute, Utica College "As if Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control wasn't a powerful enough tool for fraud fighters, now Biegelman and Bartow have added fresh insight and advice to the second edition.With compelling updates on costly internal and external fraud and corruption, together with easy-to-read descriptions of latest fraud-fighting technologies, this is a must-read for fraud examiners, auditors, attorneys and others--whether they've read the first edition or not. --Peter Goldmann, President, White-Collar Crime 101 LLC/FraudAware "Fraud borders on the ubiquitous in contemporary corporate culture.

Raphael Lemkin and the Struggle for the Genocide Convention Palgrave Macmillan

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Now published for the first time in paperback, this is the first comprehensive biography of Raphael Lemkin (1900-59), the man who invented the word genocide and campaigned relentlessly for the United Nations Genocide Convention. Utilising Lemkin's own papers as well as other sources, it contextualises his career, showing how his ideas were formed in the midst of ethnic strife in Eastern Europe and as a member of the international law circuit. The book focuses on the campaign for a convention orchestrated by Lemkin, dealing both with its supporters and enemies, particularly the British government. While Lemkin drew attention to the need to preserve diverse cultures, both in his campaigning and his historical writing, the Western powers amended the convention, so that it became an instrument solely for preventing physical genocide. The book also covers Lemkin's historical research on genocide, presenting a number of studies, particularly of colonial genocide.

How to Be French Duke University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"How to Be French" is a magisterial history of French nationality law from 1789 to the present, written by Patrick Weil, one of France's foremost historians. First published in France in 2002, it is filled with captivating human dramas, with legal professionals, and with statesmen including La Fayette, Napoleon, Clemenceau, de Gaulle, and Chirac. France has long pioneered nationality policies. It was France that first made the parent's nationality the child's birthright, regardless of whether the child is born on national soil, and France has changed its nationality laws more often and more significantly than any other modern democratic nation. Focusing on the political and legal confrontations that policies governing French nationality have continually evoked and the laws that have resulted, Weil teases out the rationales of jurists and lawmakers.In so doing, he definitively separates nationality from national identity. He demonstrates that nationality laws are written not to realize lofty conceptions of the nation but to address specific issues such as the autonomy of the citizen towards the state or a sudden drop in population.Throughout "How to Be French", Weil compares French laws to those of other countries, including the United States, Great Britain, and Germany, showing how France both borrowed from and influenced other nations' legislation. Examining moments when a racist approach to nationality policy held sway, Weil brings to light the Vichy regime's denaturalization of thousands of citizens, primarily Jews and anti-fascist exiles, and late-twentieth-century efforts to deny North African immigrants and their children access to French nationality.He also reveals stark gender inequities in nationality policy, including the fact that until 1927 French women lost their citizenship by marrying foreign men. More than the first complete, systematic study of the evolution of French nationality policy, "How to be French" is a major contribution to the broader study of nationality.

Liberal Project and Human Rights Cambridge University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The 'Liberal Project' aims to transform society in accordance with liberal values and practices. This volume argues that the United Nations regime on human rights is an attempt to realise this project on an international level. The authors provide an engaging theoretical and historical context for this argument, defining the concept of liberalism, its origins and evolution, and identify it as a universal value that constitutes the very essence of the international human rights regime. The book explores the possibility of a cross-cultural consensus on the issue being reached, but problems of sovereignty and nationalism are also discussed as potential obstacles to the Liberal Project's completion. This penetrating and insightful work will appeal to a wide range of scholars and students interested in liberalism and human rights from the fields of international relations, law, political theory and political philosophy.

Lady Master Pearl, My Teacher Church of the Seven Rays

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Lady Master Pearl is the biography of an American woman who achieved a high level of mastery, and at her death achieved the liberation of the ascended state. As most of the spiritual teachers we hear of today are men, the author felt that it would be helpful for people to hear of a woman whom, during her life, many regarded as a saint, and now a lady master. It is also a chronicle of the transition of esoteric teachings in the West from theoretical, mental teachings, to direct transmission of consciousness. Through the openness of her heart, she was able to transmit the Christ Consciousness. Over the last ten years of her life she taught over 12,000 people, all of whom came to her by word of mouth. As this was prior to the Internet there was no advertising, nor did she charge for the teachings she gave freely to all who felt the call of the Masters. This is a personal account by one of her protégées, Peter Mt. Shasta. After his return from India, where he met Ram Dass, Maharajji, Anandamayi Ma, Sathya Sai Baba and other saints, the master Saint Germain materialized before him in Muir Woods near San Francisco, and sent him to Pearl to receive training in the I AM and the Great Laws of Life. Unlike the East, where meditation is usually practiced in seclusion, she taught him how to be present and meditate in the NOW. Further, she taught him how to invoke the Law of Attraction and Manifestation through the use of I AM Affirmations. She also taught how to receive inner guidance by tuning in to one's own heart. Pearl was a student of the ascended master Saint Germain, and personal assistant to Godfre Ray King, founder of the Saint Germain Foundation. After Godfre's ascension in 1939 she was told by Saint Germain, along with many others, to withdraw and start her own group, which became a new vehicle for many new spiritual teachings. Through a series of seemingly miraculous events, she becomes a vehicle for the Great Masters of Wisdom, and a beloved teacher of many. In this loving biography we read of her adventures on the path, how she was saved by a Lady Ascended Master, her adventure with the yellow diamonds she used to help transmute negative energies during the building of the Golden Gate Bridge, and how she came to be present at the signing of the United Nations Charter in San Francisco. We also hear of her relationship with her Twin Ray and the other two men in her life. This beautiful book is an excellent introduction to the spiritual teachings of the Ascended Masters, and contains many inspiring stories that show how Pearl achieved mastery through daily life. She was not a "guru" or famous workshop leader, yet though her innocence and simplicity gained exceptional wisdom and the ability to transform people through her love.
