A RAND INFRASTRUCTURE, SAFETY, AND ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM Transportation, Space, and Technology

In 2007, the Tianjin Binhai New Area (TBNA) and one of its administrative zones—the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA)—in northeast China asked the RAND Corporation to perform a technology-foresight study to help them develop and implement a strategic vision and plan for economic growth through technological innovation. This book describes the results of that study. The principal objectives were (1) to identify the most-promising emerging technology applications (TAs) for TBNA and TEDA to pursue as part of their plan for growth, (2) to analyze the drivers and barriers they would face in each case, and (3) to recommend action plans...

Owner-Authorized HANDGUNS

On June 2, 2002, the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) convened a group of individuals in Washington, D.C., to discuss owner-authorized handguns. Some 40 people with diverse back- grounds took part in the one-day workshop (see Appendix A). This report is a summary of the workshop discussions, which focused on three topics: the state of the art of technology for creating owner-authorized handguns, liability concerns affecting the development and use of such firearms, and the potential impact of these devices on health and crime in the United States (see Appendix B)....

Large-scale Biomedical Science

But even that information is not sufficient to understand the cell’s complexity, so the ultimate goal of such research is to identify and characterize the elaborate networks of gene and protein interactions in the entire system that contribute to disease. This concept of systems biology is based on the premise that a disease can be fully comprehended only

My Exquisite Corpse By Richard Kadrey

Now, turn your head and cough. The good doctor pronounced me as fit as a teacup of chicken fat, glistening in the flames of the burning Hindenburg. Healthy as I was, he recommended immediate surgery, since I was already there and the table was free. We began with quickie séance, in which Dr.

When Cooperation Fails

The transatlantic dispute over the regulation of genetically modifi ed (GM) foods and crops has been troubling us almost as long as it has troubled the United States and the European Union. Back in 1999, we—a lawyer (Shaffer) and a political scientist (Pollack) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison—began a joint project on transatlantic governance, which we saw as an ambitious, i fl awed, effort to facilitate and oversee the operation of a transatlantic market place in the absence of formal transatlantic institutions. More concretely, we saw the United States and the European Union building increasingly close links and engaging in joint governance at three levels: the intergovernmenta level...

Can God and Caesar Coexist?

cores of constitutions drawn up since the end of World War II have proclaimed religious freedom as one of the most fundamental rights known to humanity. Simi- larly, international covenants of human rights have exalted the right to religious liberty as a privilege that is so foundational and precious that it should be guaranteed by in- ternational law.

Division Of Words (dodo Press) By Frederick W. Hamilton

The lists of certain types of troublesome words may be found useful for ready reference. Syllable formation, pronunciation, and accent are considered because it is hoped that the volumes of this series, particularly those in Part VI (Correct Literary Composition) and Part VIII (History of Printing), will contribute something to the general education of the apprentice as well as to his skill in the trade. .

Cross-border Tertiary Education

Governments are often ill-prepared to reap the benefits of cross-border tertiary education, as well as to assure education quality. In 2002, in Constructing Knowledge Societies: New Challenges for Tertiary Education, the World Bank analysed how tertiary education contributes to building up a country’s capacity for participation in an increasingly knowledge-based world economy

The Promotion of Social Inclusion

The Charity Commission is the independent regulator of charities in England and Wales. Its aim is to provide the best possible regulation of charities in England and Wales in order to increase charities’ effectiveness and public confidence and trust. Most charities must register with the Commission, although some special types of charity do not have to register. There are some 180,000 registered charities in England and Wales. In Scotland the framework is different, and the Commission does not regulate Scottish charities. The Commission provides a wide range of advice and guidance to charities and their trustees, and can often help with problems. Registered charities with an...

JUSTICE, LEGITIMACY, AND SELF-DETERMINATION

The aim of this book, which is set out more fully in the Synopsis, is to develop the outlines of a coherent, systematic vision of an inter- national legal order that takes the protection of human rights seri- ously, while anchoring that vision in moral reasoning that is informed both by a due appreciation of the limitations of existing institutions and a willingness to consider possibilities for institu- tional reform. Much has occurred in world politics and in the liter- atures of international political philosophy and international law since the hardcover edition was published less than three years ago. Given what has occurred, the book is even more relevant...

PART I1 OUR COMMON RIGHTS

Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights states: 'No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment' and is one of its most important provisions. This is borne out by the fact that-along with Articles 2, 4(1) and 4(7)-it is a rule from which no derogation is allowed, not even in times of war or other public emergencies threatening the existence of a Contracting State (see Article 15(2)). By the same token, it is also one of the most difficult norms of the Convention to...

Rethinking Humanitarian Intervention

This book began many years ago as an inquiry into the legal issues sur- rounding humanitarian intervention—which I define as the use of military force to protect the victims of human rights violations. As I delved into the matter, however, I found that the legal problems of humanitarian interven- tion were inextricably intertwined with important ethical issues, including whether or not all countries and their citizens have a duty to come to the rescue of those whose lives are imperiled by the malicious behavior of their own governments or by armed factions. Indeed, a number of legal scholars had written books that drew upon the works of prominent...

CIVIL SOCIETY AND NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION

This original study by Claudia Kissling of the University of Bremen fits our series on non-state actors for two reasons. First, she demonstrates the working of the international policy cycle following from the framing and passing of an international treaty. In this case the implementation and monitoring facets of an international agreement are discussed by a close analysis of the 7th Review Conference of the parties to the 1968 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which took place at the United Nations in 2005. Hence, the author deals with topical developments and sheds light on politically difficult relations,...

THE USE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND THE PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT DURING INTERNATIONAL ARMED CONFLICT

S INCE 1945, FEW developments have had such a profound impact on international relations, and few issues have drawn as much atten- tion in public international law as nuclear weapons. Innumerable books, articles, resolutions, official statements, and memoranda have dealt with the status, function, and the (il)legality of the use and possession of this category of ‘weapons of mass destruction’, 1 and almost all of them agree that nuclear weapons are potentially the most destructive weapons ever invented. It is therefore surprising that so few rules of public inter- national law have been adopted to regulate nuclear weapons. The adoption of this limited number of rules does not stem from lack of interest...

Unit 7: The latest figures underline the sharp growth of internet shopping in the decade since the launch of Netscape Navigator, the first widely available internet browser in 1994. While internet shopping accounted for just £300m of retail sales in 1999, by 2004 consumers were spending £14,5bn online, according to IMRG. For a sector to have grown from scratch in 10 years with verry little investment suggest that the internet's time has come, said James Roper, IMRG chief executive. Internet shopping is easier , more convenient and offers bigger rangers and a lot of the major retailer are having to get...

The World Intellectual Property Organization Resurgence and the Development AgendaChristopher MayGlobal Institutions.The World Intellectual Property OrganizationThe World Intellectual Property Organization aims to introduce a much ignored element

The current volume is the eighth in a new and dynamic series on “global institutions.” The series strives (and, based on the initial volumes we believe, succeeds) to provide readers with definitive guides to the most visible aspects of what we know as “global governance”. Remarkable as it may seem, there exist relatively few books that offer in-depth treatments of prominent global bodies and processes, much less an entire series of concise and complementary volumes. Those that do exist are either out of date, inaccessible to the non-specialist reader, or seek to develop a specialized understanding of particular aspects of an institution or process rather than offer an overall...

Patent Inventions— Intellectual Property and the Victorian Novel

It is impossible to think about intellectual property for as long as this book has taken to write, and not to become acutely aware of one’s own roster of intellectual debts, while also realizing the impos- sibility of enumerating each one. But there are some people whose help has been so extraordinarily generous that I would like to record my special thanks to them. Kate Flint was the inspirational super- viser of my Oxford D.Phil. thesis who uncomplainingly read numer- ous subsequent drafts as it transmuted into this book, and whose continued friendship, now beamed from the other side of the Atlantic, has been a constant source of...

Resisting Intellectual Property

The development of a legal apparatus for the protection of property rights has evolved in tandem with the evolution and expansion of industrial society. One aspect of this development has been the emergence of a legal apparatus for intellectual property protection – a notoriously vague and often intangible area, but one that nevertheless encompasses copyright, patent, and trademark law. This trend has seen not only the consolidation of intellectual property protection at the national level, but also the emer- gence of a transnational, and increasingly global apparatus. Regional and world organizations such as the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), European Union (EU), World Trade Organization (WTO), and Organization for Economic...

TRANSGENIC PLANTS

Plants that have features and characteristics of other species, other genera, other families and even other kingdoms - such as bacteria and mammals - have fascinated man since the dawn of history. Such phenomena, recorded in several mythologies, were in the realm of miracles and the work of God. Now they seem to become realities, though not exactly as described in the ancient folklore.

RESEARCH HANDBOOK ON THE FUTURE OF EU COPYRIGHT

Several things prompted the idea for this book in Autumn 2006. First, it was 15 years since the EU had started harmonising copyright law. If we include the Community courts case law, harmonisation – albeit indirect – dates back to 1971 with Deutsche Grammophon1 the first decision in the field of copyright which, in a groundbreaking way not only decided that copyright was within the competence of the Community but also that in the context of the free movement of goods and services, an end should be put to protectionism by creating the concept of European exhaustion. Second, the Commission’s harmonisation plans in the field of copyright had...

No Trespassing Authorship, Intellectual Property Rights, and the Boundaries of Globalization

In this scholarly yet highly accessible work, Eva Hemmungs Wirten traces three main themes within the scope of cultural ownership: au- thorship as one of the basic features of print culture, the use of intellec- tual property rights as a privileged instrument of control, and, finally, globalization as a precondition under which both operate. Underwrit- ten by rapid technological change and increased global interdepend- ence, intellectual property rights are designed to protect a production that is no longer industrial, but informational....
