Uprooted Women

Paula L. Aymer


  Uprooted Women  Paula L. Aymer  An explanation of the migration culture of the Caribbean that injects gender into existing labor migration theories. It views labor migration from the female migrant women's perspective as a major entrepreneurial activity for those who refuse to be fazedby foreign nation-state boundaries. Aruba, the site of a giant U.S.-owned oil refinery, became a major participant in supplying Western Europe's and North America's insatiable needs during the decade of the 1940s and World War II. Therefore, the island is presented as the prototype of a 20th-century industrial worksite that attracted the female migrant labor flow.  книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин An explanation of the migration culture of the Caribbean that injects gender into existing labor migration theories.

The Bottoms Up of International Development

Richard Saunier, Richard A. Meganck


  The Bottoms Up of International Development  Richard Saunier, Richard A. Meganck  Organized around such topics as bureaucracy, diplomacy, culture shock, transportation, scrapes, scams, language, hotels, food, health, institutions and love, the ninety anecdotes, poems and drawings of The Bottoms Up of International Development cover the real experiences of international development practitioners. Originally, the editors wanted to commit to paper the tales that international workers, diplomats, and other travelers tell one another as they move around the world. What they got is a collection of stories that are humorous, ironic, serious, implausible, and, profoundly instructive-as they should be. After all, the combined experience of the forty-five authors reaches over a thousand years of development effort in thirty different disciplines. It is a world of adventure put into one short book that demonstrates the work of international development from the bottom up.  книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Organized around such topics as bureaucracy, diplomacy, culture shock, transportation, scrapes, scams, language, hotels, food, health, institutions and love, the ninety anecdotes, poems and drawings of The Bottoms Up of International Development cover the real experiences of international development practitioners.

New Challenges for Monetary Policy: A Symposium Sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, August 26-28, 1999

Alan Greenspan


  New Challenges for Monetary Policy: A Symposium Sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, August 26-28, 1999  Alan Greenspan  After two decades of successfully restoring price stability in much of the world economy, central banks begin the next millennium facing a new set of challenges. One key task is how to conduct monetary policy in an era of price stability. Clearly, policy-makers would like inflation to remain subdued. But, how should monetary policy procedures be designed to ensure that inflation does not reappear as a serious policy problem? Another important question is whether central banks enjoy greater operational flexibility or face new constraints in an environment of low inflation. On the one hand, operating in a low-inflation environment may give central banks greater leeway to address short-run economic problems without compromising long-run price stability. On the other hand, monetary policy implementation may become more difficult as nominal interest rates approach zero. Recent crises in financial markets around the world pose an additional set of challenges for policy-makers. ...  книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин After two decades of successfully restoring price stability in much of the world economy, central banks begin the next millennium facing a new set of challenges.

Leading Beyond the Walls: Wisdom to Action Series

Marshall Goldsmith, Iain Somerville, Frances Hesselbein, Marshall Goldsmith, Iain Somerville


  Leading Beyond the Walls: Wisdom to Action Series  Marshall Goldsmith, Iain Somerville, Frances Hesselbein, Marshall Goldsmith, Iain Somerville  "Beyond the walls is a battle cry that mobilizes . . . The walls that surround us, protect us, and embrace us can also inhibit movement, limit understanding, restrict engagement, and diminish our relevance in the wider world. I realized that my walls, and the walls of leaders everywhere, were not only the walls of current policy, practice, procedure, and assumption but also the walls of the past--safe, familiar, and secure. This recognition was just the first of several as we worked through a process to take ourselves and our organizations beyond the walls to new levels of performance and positive changes in the lives of people." --from the Introduction by Frances Hesselbein In Leading Beyond the Walls, twenty-nine great thinkers examine leaders adept at establishing partnerships, alliances, and networks both within and outside their organizations. They address the challenge of leading in an age when the old rules and conventional boundaries no longer exist. Peter F.......
