This book is about an intensive form of peacemaking interaction, in which the disputing parties agree to take time out from the routine of their daily life in order to negotiate solutions to their conflict. The interaction has rules, structure and a time frame. This book is a social instrument for finding practical and enforceable solutions to conflicts in a limited time frame.Most people experience conflicts in their daily, professional and political life. They tend to avoid dealing with these conflicts, even when doing so causes them a great deal of suffering. This book was written to introduce a powerful mechanism for conflict resolution - Solution-Focused Negotiation.Dr. Sapir Handelman has led, directly and indirectly, dozens of face-to-face and online Solution-Focused Negotiations. Dr. Handelman, his colleagues and students have helped many people to successfully resolve their conflicts. The cases presented here reflect tensions, frictions and struggles in nearly all dimensions of social life, from family disputes to politics. The goal of this book is to share this knowledge, experience and expertise with scholars, practitioners and the general public.

This open access book seeks effective strategy to realize a rice Green Revolution in sub-Saharan Africa based on more than ten years of research team's inquiries into determinants and consequences of new technology adoption in rice farming in seven countries in this region. Rigorous statistical analyses are carried out by using valuable household data of rice farmers. The book is actually sequel to the two earlier books on the same subject published by Springer and edited by K. Otsuka and D.F. Larson, An African Green Revolution published in 2013 and In Pursuit of an African Green Revolution in 2016. The main message of the first book was that rice is the most promising cereal crop in SSA because of the high transferability of Asian rice technology, whereas that of the second book was that rice cultivation training programs are effective in significantly increasing rice yield in SSA. This third book has wider coverage in terms of topics, study periods, and study sites. It continuesto show the significant impacts of rice cultivation training on productivity and newly demonstrates the high sustainability of the productivity impact of the training and the existence of spillover effects from trainees to other farmers by using panel data. We newly assess the important role of mechanization in intensification of rice farming, high returns to large-scale irrigation schemes, and the critical role of rice millers in improving the quality of milled rice. Based on these studies, this book provides clear pathways toward full-fledged Green Revolution in rice farming in sub-Saharan Africa.

Soziale Grundrechte stehen im Mittelpunkt grundrechtlicher Diskussionen. Wie kann man soziale Grundrechte definieren? Ist es möglich, soziale Grundrechte einzuklagen? Wie können die sozialen Menschenrechte, die in den verschiedenen Rechtsquellen des Völker- und Europarechts geregelt sind, durchgesetzt werden?Die vorliegende Publikation geht auf diese Fragen ein und nimmt einen Rechtsvergleich zwischen den sozialen Grundrechten im Grundgesetz der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und in der Verfassung der Republik Chile vor. Auf diese Weise will sie zu sehr aktuellen Diskussionen beitragen, die sich auf das Spannungsfeld zwischen der Umsetzung sozialer Rechte und der finanziellen Tragfähigkeit der Staaten und auf die Rolle des Staates und des Einzelnen bei der Umsetzung sozialer Rechte beziehen.

This proceedings volume highlights important points of achieving a balanced and sustained growth path from diverse economics and finance perspectives, touching on a wide array of economic and social analyses in India. Featuring contributions presented at the 2018 International Conference on Economics and Finance (ICEF-2018) held at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, Goa, India, the enclosed papers explore topics such as inflation dynamics, information transmission in post-recession era, leverage effect and volatility asymmetry, structural change and economic growth and reforming tax systems, among others.The Indian economy today is remarkable and, not surprisingly, it is growing very rapidly. It has emerged as the fastest growing major economy in the world as per the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) and it is expected to be one of the top three economic powers of the world over the next 10 to15 years, backed by its strong democracy and partnership. At the backdrop of impressive progress of the Indian economy during the last two decades, the question that remains to be answered is does India still have a long way to go before it is functioning well as a market economy? This book critically examines the performance of the Indian economy at the national, state and sectorial levels.Featuring contributions from leading academicians, scholars and practitioners from Asia and the rest of the world, this book is an asset to students, professors, scholars, practitioners and policy makers in the areas of India economics, finance and sustainable development.

Die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit von Unternehmen und Organisationen hat in den vergangenen Jahren erheblich an Bedeutung und Professionalisierung gewonnen. Dies gilt auch und gerade für Finanzorganisationen. Denn Finanzorganisationen weisen von ihrem volkswirtschaftlichen Auftrag, ihrem Produktspektrum und ihrer gegenseitigen Verflechtung eine ganze Reihe von Besonderheiten bei der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit auf. Zudem besteht eine deutlich höhere Kommunikationssensibilität in dieser Branche. Ziel des Buches ist es, Einsteigern und Fortgeschrittenen eine praxisorientierte und gleichzeitig theoretisch abgesicherte Grundlage für die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit in Finanzorganisationen zu bieten. In diesem Leitfaden handeln die Autoren die wesentlichen Bereiche der Finanz-PR ab und stellen dabei die strategischen und operativen Besonderheiten der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit in der Finanzbranche heraus.

Christian Gerbaulet schildert die Bestrebungen des FASB, des ASB und des IASC zur Konzeption und Darstellung des "comprehensive income" und unterzieht diese einer kritischen Würdigung.

This book explores how career development experiences during education are relevant for wellbeing in youth career transitions from an interdisciplinary lens, using longitudinal data from different national educational contexts. Seven empirical chapters culminate in a conceptual model and recommendations for careers and wellbeing-oriented prevention and intervention programs to assist young people as they transition into the world of work.Following a foreword by Professor Stephen Lamb (the Springer International Study of City Youth series editor) and introduction by the editors, the book consists of empirical chapters based in six national and educational contexts, focusing specifically on schooling, higher education and transitions between compulsory schooling and young adulthood. Each national context chapter generates insights based on a longitudinal cohort study with at least two data points concerning information on young people's career development and wellbeing. The empirical chapters are followed by discussion and conclusion chapters by the editors. The editors reflect on the evidence generated in this book and question what we know about the relevance of career development experiences on young people's wellbeing during education-to-work transitions. Implications of these empirical findings on career interventions and policy making across the educational systems are discussed. The contributions in this book show that career development experiences while in education matters, not only for employment outcomes, but also for our subjective wellbeing in early careers. Key conclusions point towards a need for theoretically integrating: (i) the sensemaking role of time; (ii) resource-based approaches to careers; as well as (iii) the efficacy of career development experiences to overcome structural inequalities. Methodologically, this book shows the value of nationally representative longitudinal datasets that focus on young people's educational and labour market experiences.
