Holy Entrepreneurs: Cistercians, Knights, and Economic Exchange in Twelfth-Century Burgundy

Book Description

The twelfth century was characterized by intense spirituality as well as rapid economic development. Drawing on unprecedented research, Constance Brittain Bouchard demonstrates that the Cistercian monks of Burgundy were exemplary in both spheres. Bouchard explores the web of economic ties that linked the Cistercian monasteries with their secular neighbors, especially the knights, and reaches some surprising conclusions about Cistercian attitudes.

This third China Human Development Report 2002, Making Green Development a Choice, looks at the environmental challenges facing China today especially in the context of its WTO entry and efforts towards a green and clean 2008 Olympics. The report argues that it is now time for the government
and people to respond to these challenges and make the right choices to achieve green development and a sustainable future.
What impacts do environmental changes have on people's health and livelihoods? How do environmental issues affect overall governance structure? The Report's first chapter begins with a review of China's people and their history and culture as the resource and foundation to build and modernize this
vast land. Chapter two assesses the current status of the environment and chapter three examines the forces and trends that determine environmental changes including the linkages between society and environment. Chapter four analyzes the ongoing efforts to put China on the right path and discusses
how the responses can be optimized. Chapter five concludes that today's decisions will have significant influence on the degree of sustainability in China's future development. A scenario approach is provided describing two alternatives: today's perilous path and tomorrow's green reform path.
Informative and readable, the China Human Development Report 2002 is an invaluable collection of solid statistics, in-depth analysis and thought-provoking ideas for people all over the world to better understand the general system of societal, environmental and economic factors that together make
China what it is today and what it can become in the future.
The China Human Development Report 2002 was commissioned by UNDP China and was prepared by a team of eminent development professionals under the leadership of Stockholm Environment Institute, an independent, international research institute specializing in sustainable development and environment
issues at the local, national, regional and global policy levels.

Download Description

The prospects for educational development are excellent in Madagascar, in light of the increasingly favorable, policy environment for the sector. Public spending for education, relative to the gross domestic product declined in the 90s, coinciding with a five-fold rise in the country ' s interest payment for external debt. As the debt service burden began to ease in the late 90s, public spending on education began to recover, and can be expected to grow. A key challenge however, is to transform the sector ' s public spending into educational outcomes that would make significant contributions to poverty reduction. The report identifies challenges at all levels of formal education, where a medium term goal is to achieve universal access to basic education, and of reasonable quality, while closely linking expansion of other levels, and types of education and training, to labor market demand. In primary education, challenges remain to raise educational enrollment rates and reduce grade repetition; including the rationalization of teacher allocation, and provision of learning materials. At the secondary level, policy issues should expand enrollment at a moderate pace, focusing on quality improvements. As for vocational and technical education, the provision of training should be rationalized, to reduce costs, aligning training to labor demand; similarly, for higher education.

Book Description

Outlining practical and theoretical approaches in the making of Australian foreign policy, this text analyzes the processes, structures and calculations involved in policy initiation in an increasingly tense and dangerous international environment. Revealing changes caused by the impact of the various manifestations of globalization, this book is essential for students of Australian foreign policy. It will also be of interest to anyone concerned with foreign policy, diplomacy and international relations.

Download Description

In a tense and dangerous international environment, this book looks at the important question of how Australia deals with the outside world. It describes the role of the government departments and intelligence organisations that support the governmentÇs policy-making, and the thinking of the people who make it, in more detail than ever before. It discusses the processes, institutions, actors and calculations involved in foreign policy making in Australia, and how these have changed under the impact of globalisation. It draws on an extensive survey - the first ever - of how Australian foreign affairs officials think about the world, includes case studies of four recent Australian foreign policy initiatives, and concludes by speculating on the challenges ahead for Australian foreign policy making.
