Constitutional Patriotism as an Answer to the Problems of Diversity and Solidarity -- Abbreviations -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexOver his long and fruitful scholarly life, Jürgen Habermas has patiently laboured to diagnose the limitations and free the potential of the project of modernity ? the pursuit of the ideal of free society by rational subjects. Omid A. Payrow Shabani here analyses the development of Habermas's critical philosophy in its pursuit of a theory of justice that can address the ethico-political concerns of our diverse, pluralist, and fragmented society. He contends that Habermas's more recent work represents a position that is inadequately critical of the existing political order in liberal democracies.Payrow Shabani situates Habermas's current philosophical orientation by laying out its historical background and theoretical sources in the work of Kant and Hegel, and charting its movement towards an account of communicative rationality. Habermas's discourse ethics in turn translates his theory of communication into a sociological critique of democracy in advanced capitalism. Yet, Payrow Shabani argues, in his impressive effort to theorize deliberative democracy, and the role of law and power therein, Habermas concedes too much to 'real-existing' capitalism, and thus legitimizes political power as currently exercised in Western democracies.The deficiencies of Habermas's theory can be overcome, Payrow Shabani proposes, by appropriating Foucault's analysis of power as a contestational network of relations flowing in all directions. Similarly, he argues, incorporating Derrida's deconstructive strategy allows for a distinction between the presence of law and the attainment of justice, which is always to come, à-venir. In this view, contestation and dissent are seen as critical democratic values. For Payrow Shabani, such a refurbished critical theory recognizes the diversity of public deliberation in modern democracies, where the pursuit of the ideal of justice is an enduring negotiation that is never completed.DemocracyPower (Social sciences)Legitimacy of governmentsElectronic books.Democracy.Power (Social sciences)Legitimacy of governments.321.8/01Payrow Shabani Omid A.1043860MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456329103321Democracy, power and legitimacy2469128UNINA03702nam 2200601 450 991079473000332120230125204628.01-63157-594-5(CKB)4340000000019231(BEP)4756020(OCoLC)966467095(CaBNVSL)swl00406965(CaSebORM)9781631575945(MiAaPQ)EBC4756020(EXLCZ)99434000000001923120161217d2017 fy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierMoney laundering and terrorist financing activities a primer on avoidance management for money managers /Milan Frankl, Ayse Ebru KurcerFirst edition.New York, New York (222 East 46th Street, New York, NY 10017) :Business Expert Press,2017.1 online resource (86 pages)Finance and financial management collection,2331-00571-63157-593-7 Includes bibliographical references (pages 79-82) and index.1.

Money laundering may occur in every country. The significant factor is to diagnose the illegal MLA and apply regulations to mitigate them. To meet this objective, managers of financial institutions need to train their employees about anti-money laundering (AML) processes and how to diagnose and prevent money laundering. AML activities can also affect the financial systems of a country. "Money laundering destabilizes the foundation of a nation's financial system by reducing tax revenues and impeding fair competition by ultimately disrupting economic development" (World Compliance, 2008). MLAs can create a big gap between income classes. Money laundering can also decrease banks' or financial institutions' credibility. "In practice, criminals are trying to disguise the origins of money obtained through illegal activities so that it looks like it was obtained from legal sources" (Layton, 2005). This book may be of special interest to financial managers in the private and public sector. It also may be a useful guide for those involved in international financial transactions.Finance and financial management collection.2331-0057Money launderingTerrorismFinancelogistic regressionmodel buildingmodel diagnosticsmultiple regressionregression modelsimple linear regressionstatistical inferencetime series regressionMoney laundering.TerrorismFinance.364.168Frankl Milan876934Kurcer Ayse EbruMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794730003321Money laundering and terrorist financing activities3740857UNINA
