Описание:
The fall of communism in the late 1980s and the end of the Cold War seemed to signal a new international social order built on pluralist democracy, the rule of law, and universal human rights. But the window of opportunity for creating this more just, more equal, and more secure world slammed shut just as quickly as it opened. Rather than celebrate the triumph of democracy over autocracy, or political freedom over totalitarian rule, the West exulted in the victory of capitalism over communism. Neoliberal policies of deregulation and privatization that minimized the role of the state were imposed on the transitional societies of Central and Eastern Europe, as well as economically weak and politically fragile nations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Twenty-five years later, the world reaps the fruits of that market-driven state foundation: inequality; poverty; global economic, food, financial, social, and ecological crises; transnational organized crime and terrorism; proliferating weapons; fragile states. Human Rights or Global Capitalism is not simply concerned with the success or failure of neoliberal policies per se or judging whether they are good or bad. Rather, it examines the application of those policies from a human rights perspective and asks whether states, by outsourcing to the private sector many services with a direct impact on human rights—education, health, social security, water, personal liberty, personal security, equality—abdicate their responsibilities to uphold human rights and thereby violate international human rights law. Manfred Nowak explores these examples and outlines the ways in which neoliberal policies contravene the obligations of states to protect the human rights of their people.

Описание:
Das vцlkergewohnheitsrechtliche Interventionsverbot ist seit jeher ein unverzichtbares Element des internationalen Friedenssicherungssystems. Trotz seiner unbestrittenen Wichtigkeit ist unklar, welche Handlungsweisen gegenwдrtig von dem Verbot umfasst sind. Aufbauend auf eine umfassende Auswertung der Staatenpraxis seit 2011 untersucht die Autorin, unter welchen Voraussetzungen Regierungen und Oppositionsbewegungen in Bьrgerkriegen vцlkerrechtsgemд unterstьtzt werden dьrfen. Angesichts der Schneise der Verwьstung, die sich seit Beginn des "Arabischen Frьhlings" durch die betroffenen Lдnder erstreckt, hinterfragt die Autorin die kontemporдre rechtliche Relevanz des Interventionsverbots.

Описание:
Being shipped off to live with his uncle was the best thing that ever happened to Cody, but then a wreck at the speedway nearly ruined everything. Though he's working hard to get his life back on track, there's no escaping the nightmares that haunt him.
A chance to build his own car seems like the perfect distraction until he realizes he'll have to live up to his uncle's legendary reputation as a driver. But that's the least of Cody's worries, considering he doesn't have his father's permission. All he has to do is keep his uncle in the dark until he can convince his dad that racing's safe. Yeah, sure. That'll be easy.
This inspirational sequel to Running Wide Open is a story of integrity and true loyalty. Popular with both teens and adults, it's perfect for fans of Chris Crutcher, Laurie Halse Anderson, and John Green.

Описание: Evolution is the one theory that transcends all of biology. Nowak draws on the languages of biology and mathematics to outline the mathematical principles according to which life evolves. His book makes a case for understanding every living system-and everything that arises as a consequence of living systems-in terms of evolutionary dynamics.
