Economic and Political Change in Tunisia: From Bourguiba to Ben Ali

Book Description

This book examines the processes of economic and political reform in Tunisia, placing the current policies of Zine el Abidine Ben Ali within their historical context. Emma Murphy develops a theoretical understanding of the relationship between economic liberalization and political change in the Arab world, developing the concept of the disarticulation of the corporatist state and concluding that, despite efforts at democratization, an authoritarian political system is a more likely successor in the era of economic transformation.

Book Description

Opponents of speech codes often argue that liberal academics use the codes to advance an agenda of political correctness. But Jon B. Gould's provocative book, based on an enormous amount of empirical evidence, reveals that the real reasons for their growth are to be found in the pragmatic, almost utilitarian, considerations of college administrators. Instituting hate speech policy, he shows, was often a symbolic response taken by university leaders to reassure campus constituencies of their commitment against intolerance. In an academic version of "keeping up with the Joneses," some schools created hate speech codes to remain within what they saw as the mainstream of higher education. Only a relatively small number of colleges crafted codes out of deep commitment to their merits.

Although college speech codes have been overturned by the courts, Speak No Evil argues that their rise has still had a profound influence on curtailing speech in other institutions such as the media and has also shaped mass opinion and common understandings of constitutional norms. Ultimately, Gould contends, this kind of informal law can have just as much power as the Constitution.

Goodbye 'free speech zones'!.......2005-09-01

Gould's comprehensive work explains how speech restrictions were introduced and thrive in the 'free' college campus. Supposedly implemented to protect students, these 'free speech zones' were really about following the lead of other schools who implemented them first.

The free speech zones themselves emerged in the aftermath of the 1960s. Colleges presumed that if they could control where people were protesting, they could control the atmosphere of the protest---and prevent things from getting out of hand.

The courts however are concerned that colleges acted in excess. The establishment of these zones was not legitmately connected to public safety. Furthermore, circumstances did not warrant a measure as severe as limiting the student body's constitutional right to free speech.

Because universities cannot demonstrate how the restriction of adult's speech ultimately contributes to the free inquiry needed in post-secondary environments, free speech zones and the other restrictions are under fire. The petitioners allege that these restrictions violate their right to free speech.

As 'offensive speech' is a largely subjective matter, today's protestor against 'hate speech' might very well find themselves being picketed for 'offensive speech' if these laws are to stand. Especially in the post-secondary environment, free speech restrictions stifle democracy, learning---and the very mission of the institutions.

Yes, this means that people will periodically run into speech they find objectionable, but this is a rather insignificant price to pay for living in a democracy.

Gould does not provide easy answers inside his work. Rather he wants the readers of this title to understand how having a monolithic blanket against the 'offensive' is an impossible policy to implement. What initially comforts us today might restrict us in the near future. Such is the difficulty of regulating speech.

This work is important for academic libraries, but it is also a worthwhile read for civil libertarians, and activists. I would finally recommend that the local public library stock a copy because the First Amendment is so important to a free society.

Book Description

The third title in the MECB series begins with a review of the main events of the year and how the ECB has dealt with them. The authors focus mainly on eurozone inflation and the exchange rate of the euro but also address a few specific issues, such as transparency of monetary policy and the related decision, recently announced by the ECB, to publish its internal forecasts. The report then deals with three broader issues: the relationships between the ECB and the eurogroup; how the Council make monetary policy decisions; and macroeconomic adjustment in the monetary union. The MECB Update: July 2001 will mail out free with this title when it becomes available.

Don't pay for a book on resumes. Google it. There are many good websites out there on writing resumes and writing...in general. Not specialists in resume-writing, but a bunch of editors out to make a quick buck so buy my online writing class to learn to write. I make a full-time living as a freelance writer and writing teacher.

2004 called, they want their data back..........2007-02-06

Let me state for the record that I have NOT looked at every single job in this book. However, EVERY job that I have looked up (about 30 or so) has salary data from 2004! I was shocked. The 2007-2008 portion of the title is misleading. I was thinking that I would get more recent info. I bought this book for my 17 year old brother who is trying decide what career path to take. If I had bought the book for myself, I would have returned it. Most would benefit by doing a simple internet search for whatever job they are interested in. At first I gave the book 2 stars but then I decided on 3 - since that book is really big and probably has every job imaginable. But then I went back to 2 because I felt like some of the salary information (in addition to being outdated) was unrealistic.

The storyline and pictures are classic Clifford, the good old Clifford I remember from my childhood. However, the actual story is not particularly inventive (Clifford tries all different kinds of work as a way to finance his dog food). Some scenes are cute, and you've got to love poor Clifford who can't seem to do anything right. Of course, things work out for him in the end.

Ana Loria
Manufacturer: InfoNet Press
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback

Guides | Job Hunting & Careers | Business & Investing | Subjects | Books
ASIN: 0965119017

Book Description

GET PAID FOR SEX! is a breakthrough book in a era when our sexual freedoms are being increasingly challenged. This book provides detailed listings and advice on how to find lucrative employment in the booming sex industry. Almost all of the opportunities listed in GET PAID FOR SEX! are applicable to both men and women. However, the book is slanted toward MEN because males typically have had a harder time finding work in this industry.

Please note that GET PAID FOR SEX! focuses only on sex opportunities that are legal. Examples covered in the book include phone sex operators, Internet strippers, adult actors, masseuses, escorts, models, tantric sex teachers, and participants in safe-sex programs for medical research. This book does not advocate illegal behavior of any kind.

Admittedly, there is much gray area when it comes to the definition of the above types of opportunities. Some people may classify them as 'sex' while others may not. The most important thi! ng when considering such employment is to follow these three steps: 1) Check your local/state laws to confirm the activity is legal; 2) Make sure you are comfortable engaging in it; 3) Always practice safe-sex.

Here's to all your dreams and fantasies coming true financially and otherwise!

Customer Reviews:

Great Book for All Us Freaky Guys & Girls!.......2001-04-09

I really enjoyed GET PAID FOR SEX. I wish it was a bit longer, but I can't complain because it gave me lots of advice and ideas and made me realize that I can enjoy my life without having to be afraid of the fact that I love sex and want to work in adult entertainment. I just wish more people thought like Ana Loria, and I hope her message spreads so this world becomes a wonderful festival of love and sex and freedom. Yay to all us freaks!

YOU BETTER OFF READING THE FREE YELLOW PAGES.......2000-08-04

I can reveal the secret of this book in one word, go to the yellow pages and get the secrets of making money in the sex business in the escort section. Nothing that goes on in escort services are illegal - so this is your answer. This little, totally skinny book should cost only five dollars. However the writer of this book came up with a brilliant marketing concept. Her title is awesome. Her concept that there are businesses out here that men can get paid for having sex is totally fascinating. However, let us be real, guys are paying to have sex. Only in the homosexual community will a guy get paid to have sex. However, for those who want to buy this waste-of-time of a publication for novelty purposes, do so. One thing I can say, this book is selling like hotcakes.

This Book is a Satisfactory Attempt.......2000-07-25

As an occasional writer in the adult industry for the past seven years, I felt compelled to give a looksie at GET PAID FOR SEX. Let me say right of the bat, the book is not nearly as good as Ana Loria's more recent 1-2-3 BE A PORN STAR book, but it is also a much more ambitious effort. GET PAID FOR SEX tries to cover just about every possible way you could get paid as a worker in the adult industry. This was probably too big a job because the book suffers for lack of details. However, that being said, I still think it is a fairly admirable first attempt and I'm somewhat puzzled by all the vicious reviews below because they are terribly inaccurate. The book does not simply cover sperm banks, as so many people claim. (I suspect this is an effort by one or a few people who are threatened by the book's content.) Rather, it has an extensive section on how to be a tantric sex instructor, a small section on how to be a porn star, another small section on how to be a phone sex operator or dancer/escort/model, and final brief treatment on how to set up an internet sex site. The book is far from thorough and it is not going to make all your financial problems suddenly go away while providing you with easy sex. But I can see it being a useful resource for someone casually curious about what to do to pursue paid sex opportunities.

There are some obvious liers in these reviews........2000-06-30

Obviously, some of the people writing "reviews" aren't real people at all, but someone who works for the book. Some of the good "reviews" are word-for-word from the book's own web site.

what a waste of money, I should, have, listened to the bad -.......2000-04-09

I am so upset right now that I paid money for this book--it is a complete farse. I had read the negative reviews--and there are a ton of them--I figured they were just maybe going overboard on the criticism--but in reality after wasting my money on this book--and reading it--the negative reviews are completely right--all this BOOK PROVIDES IS A LISTING OF SPERM BANKS AND THE NUMBERS OF THE PLACES, ONE COULD MAKE UP TO 15 dollars if THEY PASS THE PHYSICAL--the book is completely advertised in a deceiving--wrongful ---deceiving manner---it is not a book providing a listing of get paid for sex opportunities, it is a waste of time and money! If you want a listing of sperm banks --then order and read this book--because that is all your going to get out of it

Book Description

Improving the economic performance of Arab countries is now more critical than ever. The region faces high population growth rates, rising unemployment, and modest economic growth coupled with increasingly intense competition from emerging markets in eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Meeting these challenges requires finding ways to overcome political obstacles that impede socially beneficial economic reforms. Despite fifty years of repeated attempts at Arab economic integration, the results in terms of intraregional trade and investment flows have been very modest. This book explains why and discusses possible ways forward. The authors draw especially on the success of the European Union to assess the scope of Arab economic integration as an instrument for narrowing the persistent gap between the region's economic potential and its performance.
