Sommario/riassunto |
|
Now forty years old, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) remains a landmark act in conservation and one of the world's most comprehensive laws designed to prevent species extinctions and support recovery efforts for imperiled species. A controversial law and often subject to political attack, the ESA is successful overall but not without difficulties. Those who enforce the ESA, for example, struggle to achieve viable recovery goals for many species. At the forefront of challenges is a reactive framework that sometimes leads to perverse incentives and legal battles that strain support and resources. Further, few species have been delisted. Proactive Strategies for Protecting Species explores the perspectives, opportunities, and challenges around designing and implementing pre-listing programs and approaches to species conservation. This volume brings together conservation biologists, economists, private and government stakeholders, and others to create a legal, scientific, sociological, financial, and technological foundation for designing solutions that incentivize conservation action for hundreds of at-risk species-prior to their potential listing under the ESA. This forward-thinking, innovative volume provides a roadmap for designing species conservation programs on the ground so they are effective and take place upstream of regulation, which will contribute to a reduction in lawsuits and other expenses that arise after a species is listed. Proactive Strategies for Species Protection is a guidebook for anyone anywhere interested in designing programs that incentivize environmental stewardship and species conservation. |

Sommario/riassunto |

As an economic superpower, China has become an increasingly important player in the international monetary system. Its foreign exchange reserves are the largest in the world and its exchange rate policy has become a major subject of international economic diplomacy. The internationalization of the renminbi (RMB) raises critical questions in international policy circles: What kinds of power is China acquiring in international monetary relations? What are the priorities of |

the Chinese government? What explains its preferences?In The Great Wall of Money, a distinguished group of contributors addresses these questions from distinct perspectives, revealing the extent to which China's choices, and global monetary affairs, will be shaped by internal political factors and affect world politics. The RMB is a likely competitor for the dollar in the next couple of decades; its emergence as an important international currency would have substantial effects on the balance of power between the United States and China. By illuminating the politics of China's international monetary relations, this book provides a timely account of the global economy, the role of the renminbi in international relations, and the trajectory of China's continuing ascendency in the coming decades.

Sommario/riassunto |

Der Band legt Evaluationsergebnisse der Projekte e-LiS und TELFI vor. Beide EU-Projekte haben zum Ziel, mittels E-Learning die Qualifikation von Strafgefangenen zu verbessern, ihre Chancen auf Beschäftigung zu steigern und ihre Integration in Arbeitswelt und Gesellschaft zu erleichtern. Der Sammelband richtet sich an alle, die sich für E-Learning im Allgemeinen und für Strafvollzug im Besonderen interessieren. Die Erkenntnisse und Handlungsempfehlungen decken unterschiedliche Aspekte von E-Learning ab. In den Untersuchungen der Evaluation ging es z.B. darum, wie die KursteilnehmerInnen E-Learning erleben und welche Effekte LehrerInnen und DozentInnen wahrnehmen. Es wurde ergründet, welche Vor- und Nachteile beim Einsatz von Lernsoftware bestehen. Eine Fallstudie widmete sich der Frage, inwieweit Unterschiede in der Lernmotivation und der Leistung bei einer softwaregestützten und einer persönlichen Betreuung bei Jugendlichen festzustellen sind. Die Ergebnisse belegen eindrucksvoll, dass das Lernen mit digitalen Medien positive Effekte auf die Entwicklung von Bildungsinteresse auf Seiten der Lernenden hat. Dies ist ein Anlass, über Konsequenzen für eine Neugestaltung des Lernens und Lehrens in allgemein bildenden und berufsbildenden Schulen nachzudenken. |
