Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book is based on Stephen Hill's direct experience working in the United Nations for many years as consultant and over a decade as full time Member of Staff-based in Indonesia and part-time in Paris, serving as United Nations Regional Director for Science for Asia and the Pacific as well as Principal Director and Ambassador of the United Nations Agency UNESCO (the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) across South East Asia.It was not always a quiet life. Stephen had to handle the negotiations and aftermath of two of his own UN staff taken hostage in 1996 for five months by freedom fighters into the jungles of West Papua; the May 1998 Revolution in Indonesia where he had to escape his house at 2.00am through mobs and fires while his own security staff had changed into civilian clothes and run off down the street to escape, then evacuate everyone else, but stay to report to the UN Security Council and liaise with the incoming Transition Government. In the early 2000s, Stephen needed to escape Indonesia, under UN Security instruction, from the terrorist organisation, Abu Sayyaf from Mindanao, the Southern Philippines, when they sent a Hit Squad down through Manado and across Sulawesi towards Jakarta to assassinate him in Jakarta because of his collaborative work throughout Mindanao's previous fundamentalist Islamic conflict zones, amongst other things, bringing literacy to 7,000 villagers, mainly women, building nine radio stations with community support across religious lines, and introducing basic education into Islamic Schools previously teaching only the Koran and Arabic.This book captures all of this rather exciting life but delivers a message from experience-the Power of Community and Cultural Empowerment in successful United Nations Action to bring positive change into the world.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book constructs the theoretical framework based on a range of prominent social theories to address how juvenile delinquency is socioeconomically constructed. Here the presentation of conceptual details is supported by Chinese literature that rationalises, problematises, and analyses how left-behind children are vulnerable to premature smoking, heavy drinking and drug abuse and. I critically review all the most recent publications to highlight the most updated socioeconomic structure of juvenile delinquency experienced by Chinese left-behind children. In addition, the author summarises and analyses all the most up-to-date policy recommendations and evaluations concerning the mitigation of left-behind children's juvenile delinquency. The policymaking outputs help inform readers on how Chinese policymakers have specifically been endeavouring to intervene in left-behind children's delinquent behaviours and what policy directions the corresponding policymakers are trending towards in the future.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book presents an original explanation of the stark contrast between two very different Chinese foreign policy patterns. On the one hand, there is Beijing's hard power actorness related, among others, to territorial disputes and 'wolf warrior' intimidating maneuvers. On the other hand, there are China's peaceful and cooperative actions, well-illustrated by the Belt and Road Initiative. This book shows that this situation is best understood as a consequence of the coexistence of two different Chinese identities respectively associated with the concepts of nineteenth-century-style territorial empire, and twenty-first-century-style postmodern global power. The book contends that in China's case, they form a virtuous circle-characterized by a specific division of labor-as both identities are instrumental to the construction of a new, Chinese-led international order. The book provides a detailed analysis of the genesis, development, features, and interplay of these identities. It is relevant to scholars in China studies, political history, contemporary politics, and foreign policy.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Japan-India relations have traversed from 'distantly friendly' to 'indispensable partners.' The significant development of the India-Japan strategic partnership, the convergence of bilateral strategies, and the addressing of broader economic relations and cultural dimensions signify that bilateral relations have entered a 'new era' in Japan-India relations. Given the region's emerging geopolitics, diplomatic relations between these two nations have gained momentum beyond the traditional pillars of engagement. New dimensions, namely, human security, environment, disaster risk reduction, climate change issues, innovation, and resilience building have gained currency. Addressing these, this book covers the broader aspects of human security dimensions of India-Japan collaboration. Involving multi and trans-disciplinary research, including in-depth reviews and new data based on case studies from India and Japan, this book sheds light on new convergence frontiers between these two nations. Furthermore, the book suggests specific policy and action measures to enhance human security through the bilateral cooperation between India and Japan, which has a global impact.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The war in Ukraine is fast approaching its second anniversary since its commencement on 24 February 2022 as a blatant aggression by Russia. As we discuss in detail in this book, there are multiple international legal issues that arise and require addressing. What is more, the very international legal order is under threat, insofar as the fundamental international law obligations are not being complied with and the basic international rules are utterly ignored. This book discusses a number of international law issues arising from the war in Ukraine. It covers not only the traditional subjects of war, such as jus ad bellum, international criminal law, and the law of neutrality, but also the relatively new issues arising from the economic sanctions against Russia, including aspects of the WTO law and international investment law. This book provides the readers with opportunities to reconsider the various legal aspects of the war in Ukraine.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book contributes to the scholarly and policy debate about China's ongoing and increasingly ambitious strategies and actions in its pursuit of the green energy transition. Transitioning to a greener and more sustainable economy has become a shared policy priority worldwide in response to existential challenges posed by climate change and environmental degradation. After decades of unprecedented industrialization and economic growth at the expense of the environment, this green energy transition now tops China's development agenda. Indeed, China already has years of experience advancing climate policies and institutional and regulatory mechanisms at home and is already a major player in advocating cooperation on climate actions internationally. At the same time, the development of new electrical power systems and the energy internet in China has been shaped not only by China's overarching economic development goals and plans but also by its international engagements and commitments, with the involvement of a diverse range of stakeholders and driving forces.This book focuses on exploring the Legal challenges encountered in the development of China's new power system and energy internet, and takes the power grid enterprises that are at the core of the energy Internet value chain as the hub to deeply explore the role of key players in China's green energy transformation in the evolution of China's climate policies and actions.
