Sommario/riassunto

However, benefits will begin to accrue to the unemployed in the week following the state having signed the agreement. [...] Temporary Expansion in EB Eligibility, at States' Option ARRA temporarily expands, at the option of the states, eligibility for the EB program.5 As the EB program has operated in the past, a beneficiary had to be within his/her original "benefit year" when the EB program triggered "on" in the state in order to receive EB benefits. [...] ARRA allows states the option of temporarily ignoring the benefit year requirement and instead using exhaustion of EUC08 benefits as an eligibility requirement for weeks of EB benefit payments that fall between enactment of the stimulus package and before January 1, 2010, and as long as the state is triggered "on" for EB during the period when the individual was receiving EUC08. [...] Unemployment Modernization Provisions in ARRA ARRA provides for a special transfer of up to a total of $7 billion from the federal unemployment account (FUA) within the UTF to the State accounts within the UTF8 as "incentive payments" for changing certain state UC laws. [...] All states must apply to the Department of Labor for certification to receive the first third and remaining two-thirds of the state's share of the $7 billion for modernization of state unemployment compensation programs.

Sommario/riassunto

Violence or the potential for violence is a fact of human existence. Many societies, including our own, reward martial success or skill at arms. The ways in which members of a particular society use force reveal a great deal about the nature of authority within the group and about its members' priorities.In The Purpose of Intervention, Martha Finnemore uses one type of force, military intervention, as a window onto the shifting character of international society. She examines the changes, over the past 400 years, about why countries intervene militarily, as well as in the ways they have intervened. It is not the fact of intervention that has altered, she says, but rather the reasons for and meaning behind intervention-the conventional understanding of the purposes for which states can and should use force.Finnemore looks at three types of intervention: collecting debts, addressing



humanitarian crises, and acting against states perceived as threats to international peace. In all three, she finds that what is now considered "obvious" was vigorously contested or even rejected by people in earlier periods for well-articulated and logical reasons. A broad historical perspective allows her to explicate long-term trends: the steady erosion of force's normative value in international politics, the growing influence of equality norms in many aspects of global political life, and the increasing importance of law in intervention practices.
