A "Commodius Vicus of Recirculation" Buddhism, Art, and Modernity --Selected Bibliography --Contributors --IndexThe first authoritative volume on the totality of Buddhism in the West, Westward Dharma establishes a comparative and theoretical perspective for considering the amazing variety of Buddhist traditions, schools, centers, and teachers that have developed outside of Asia. Leading scholars from North America, Europe, South Africa, and Australia explore the plurality and heterogeneity of traditions and practices that are characteristic of Buddhism in the West. This recent, dramatic growth in Western Buddhism is accompanied by an expansion of topics and issues of Buddhist concern. The contributors to this volume treat such topics as the broadening spirit of egalitarianism; the increasing emphasis on the psychological, as opposed to the purely religious, nature of practice; scandals within Buddhist movements; the erosion of the distinction between professional and lay Buddhists; Buddhist settlement in Israel; the history of Buddhism in internment camps; repackaging Zen for the West; and women's dharma in the West. The interconnections of historical and theoretical approaches in the volume make it a rich, multi-layered resource.BuddhismMissionsHistoryBuddhismHistory20th centuryGlobalizationReligious aspectsBuddhismElectronic books.BuddhismMissionsHistory.BuddhismHistoryGlobalizationReligious aspectsBuddhism.294.3/09Prebish Charles S920253Baumann Martin1960-234335MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450147403321Westward dharma2419559UNINA00599nam0 22002051i 450 UON0008916620231205102501.97620020107d1912 |0itac50 bagerDE|||| |||||Institutio PhysicaProclus DiadochusDELeipzigUONL003218PROCLUS : DiadochusUONV056334293179TeubnerUONV251149650PROCLUS : AtheniensisPROCLUS : DiadochusUONV060828ITSOL20240220RICAUON00089166Institutio Physica1849524UNIOR05701oam 22013574 450 991095615410332120250426110724.0978661284043297814623931381462393136978145274101714527410189781282840430128284043697814518694391451869436(CKB)3170000000054993(EBL)1607818(SSID)ssj0000943984(PQKBManifestationID)11518467(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000943984(PQKBWorkID)10982472(PQKB)11537082(OCoLC)646904430(IMF)WPIEE2008082(MiAaPQ)EBC1607818(IMF)WPIEA2008082WPIEA2008082(EXLCZ)99317000000005499320020129d2008 uf 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrBreaking the Impediments to Budgetary Reforms : Evidence from Europe /Ashoka Mody, Stefania Fabrizio1st ed.Washington, D.C. :International Monetary Fund,2008.1 online resource (33 p.)IMF Working PapersIMF working paper ;WP/08/82Description based upon print version of record.9781451913972 1451913974 Includes bibliographical references.Contents; I.

Nonlinear Effects in the Full Model; ReferencesUnder what conditions are budget institutions likely to be strengthened? We find that fiscal deficits do not help in focusing policymakers on undertaking reforms. To the contrary, the larger the deficit, the lower is the likelihood of reforms. Large deficits apparently imply strong claims on the budget and, hence, generate unwillingness to impose self-discipline. As such, countries will tend to move either to small fiscal deficits and good institutions or large deficits and weak institutions. Economic shocks (if they are large enough) can help build a constituency for improving budget institutions. However, if forgiving markets accommodate economic shocks, even such pressure may be insufficient. Forwardlooking and credible leadership appears to be an important ingredient of the solution.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2008/082Budget processEuropeBudget deficitsEuropeBalance of paymentsimfBudget planning and preparationimfBudget SystemsimfBudgetimfBudgeting & financial managementimfBudgetingimfCurrent Account AdjustmentimfCurrent account deficitsimfDebt ManagementimfDebtimfDebts, PublicimfDeflationimfExports and ImportsimfFiscal PolicyimfFiscal policyimfFiscal stanceimfGovernment debt managementimfInflationimfInternational economicsimfMacroeconomicsimfNational BudgetimfPrice LevelimfPricesimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfShort-term Capital MovementsimfSovereign DebtimfChina, People's Republic ofimfBudget processBudget deficitsBalance of paymentsBudget planning and preparationBudget SystemsBudgetBudgeting & financial managementBudgetingCurrent Account AdjustmentCurrent account deficitsDebt ManagementDebtDebts, PublicDeflationExports and ImportsFiscal PolicyFiscal policyFiscal stanceGovernment debt managementInflationInternational economicsMacroeconomicsNational BudgetPrice LevelPricesPublic finance & taxationPublic FinanceShort-term Capital MovementsSovereign Debt352.48Mody Ashoka888386Fabrizio Stefania1103907DcWaIMFBOOK9910956154103321Breaking the Impediments to Budgetary Reforms4371279UNINA
