While governments commit to addressing these challenges, traditional public and philanthropic dollars are not enough. Here, innovative finance has shown a way forward: by borrowing techniques from the world of finance, we can raise capital for social investments today. Innovative finance has provided polio vaccines to children in the DRC, crop insurance to farmers in India, pay-as-you-go solar electricity to Kenyans, and affordable housing and transportation to New Yorkers. It has helped governmental, commercial, and philanthropic resources meet the needs of the poor and underserved and build a more sustainable and inclusive prosperity. Capital and the Common Good shows how market failure in one context can be solved with market solutions from another: an expert in securitization bundles future development aid into bonds to pay for vaccines today; an entrepreneur turns a mobile phone into an array of financial services for the unbanked; and policy makers adapt pay-for-success models from the world of infrastructure to human services like early childhood education, maternal health, and job training. Revisiting the successes and missteps of these efforts, Georgia Levenson Keohane argues that innovative finance is as much about incentives and sound decision-making as it is about money. When it works, innovative finance gives us the tools, motivation, and security to invest in our shared future. 606 $aFinance$xSocial aspects 606 $aFinance$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aCapitalism$xSocial aspects 606 $aSocial responsibility of business 606 $aCommon good 615 0$aFinance$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aFinance$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aCapitalism$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business. 615 0$aCommon good. 676 $a174/.4 686 $aQK 600$2rvk 700 $aKeohane$b Georgia Levenson$01532523 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798622503321 996 $aCapital and the common good$93778691 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05267nam 2200721 450 001 9910788079603321 005 20230427222325.0 010 $a0-19-935071-X 010 $a0-19-935070-1 035 $a(CKB)2670000000578310 035 $a(EBL)1876215 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001381322 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12594159 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001381322 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11391859 035 $a(PQKB)10792750 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1876215 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1876215 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10991535 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL665246 035 $a(OCoLC)897645637 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000578310 100 $a20141008h20152015 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aGreat catastrophe $eArmenians and Turks in the shadow of genocide /$fThomas de Waal 210 1$aNew York, New York :$cOxford University Press,$d[2015] 210 4$dİ2015 215 $a1 online resource (313 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-19-935069-8 311 $a1-322-33964-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aMAP 1: THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE IN 1914 -- MAP 2: TURKEY IN 2014 -- INTRODUCTION: REQUIEM IN DIYARBAKIR -- THE CATASTROPHE -- THE HISTORY -- FROM VAN TO LAUSANNE -- ASPECTS OF FORGETTING -- POST-WAR POLITICS -- AWAKENING -- ASSAILING TURKEY -- A TURKISH THAW -- INDEPENDENT ARMENIA -- THE PROTOCOLS -- HIDDEN HISTORIES IN DIYARBAKIR -- TWO MEMORIALS IN ISTANBUL. 330 2 $a"The destruction of the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire in 1915-16 was a brutal mass crime that prefigured other genocides in the 20th century. By various estimates, more than a million Armenians were killed and the survivors were scattered across the world. Although it is now a century old, the issue of what most of the world calls the Armenian Genocide of 1915 has not been consigned to history. It is a live and divisive political issue that mobilizes Armenians across the world, touches the identity and politics of modern Turkey, and has consumed the attention of U.S. politicians for years. In Great Catastrophe, the eminent scholar and reporter Thomas de Waal looks at the changing narratives and politics of the Armenian Genocide and tells the story of recent efforts by courageous Armenians, Kurds, and Turks to come to terms with the disaster as Turkey enters a new post-Kemalist era. The story of what happened to the Armenians in 1915-16 is well-known. Here we are told the much less well-known story of what happened to Armenians, Kurds, and Turks in its aftermath. First Armenians were divided between the Soviet Union and a worldwide diaspora, with different generations and communities of Armenians constructing new identities, while bitter intra-Armenian quarrels sometimes broke out into violence. In Turkey, the Armenian issue was initially forgotten and suppressed, only to return to the political agenda in the context of the Cold War, an outbreak of Armenian terrorism in the 1970s and the growth of modern 'identity politics' in the age of genocide-consciousness. In the last decade, Turkey has begun to confront its taboos and finally face up to the Armenian issue. New, more sophisticated histories are being written of the deportations of 1915, now with the collaboration of Turkish scholars. In Turkey itself there has been an astonishing revival of oral history, with tens of thousands of people coming out of the shadows to reveal a long-suppressed Armenian identity. However, a normalization process between the Armenian and Turkish states broke down in 2010. Drawing on archival sources, reportage and moving personal stories, de Waal tells the full story of Armenian-Turkish relations since the Genocide in all its extraordinary twists and turns. He strips away the propaganda to look both at the realities of a terrible historical crime and also the divisive 'politics of genocide' it produced. The book throws light not only on our understanding of Armenian-Turkish relations but also of how mass atrocities and historical tragedies shape contemporary politics"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aArmenian Genocide, 1915-1923$xInfluence 606 $aArmenian Genocide, 1915-1923$xPolitical aspects 606 $aMemory$xPolitical aspects$zArmenia 606 $aMemory$xPolitical aspects$zTurkey 606 $aCollective memory$zTurkey 606 $aGenocide$xPolitical aspects$vCase studies 607 $aArmenia$xRelations$zTurkey 607 $aTurkey$xRelations$zArmenia 607 $aTurkey$xEthnic relations 615 0$aArmenian Genocide, 1915-1923$xInfluence. 615 0$aArmenian Genocide, 1915-1923$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aMemory$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aMemory$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aCollective memory 615 0$aGenocide$xPolitical aspects 676 $a956.6/20154 686 $aHIS003000$aHIS012000$aHIS037070$2bisacsh 700 $aDe Waal$b Thomas$0688361 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788079603321 996 $aGreat catastrophe$93783130 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03687nam 2200649 450 001 9910821803003321 005 20230807211012.0 010 $a3-11-039397-2 010 $a3-11-033877-7 024 7 $a10.1515/9783110338775 035 $a(CKB)3360000000515114 035 $a(EBL)1597600 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001402577 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11777147 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001402577 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11361180 035 $a(PQKB)10385652 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1597600 035 $a(DE-B1597)214725 035 $a(OCoLC)898769706 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783110338775 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1597600 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11010372 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL808142 035 $a(EXLCZ)993360000000515114 100 $a20141031h20152015 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||#|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aNew perspectives on Chinese syntax /$fby Waltraud Paul 210 1$aBerlin ;$aBoston :$cDe Gruyter,$d[2015] 210 4$dİ2015 215 $a1 online resource (374 p.) 225 1 $aTrends in linguistics.

It is nevertheless still difficult to obtain comprehensive answers to research questions, because Chinese is often presented as an "exotic" language defying the analytical tools standardly used for other languages. This book sets out to demystify Chinese. It places controversial issues in the context of current syntactic theories and offers precise analyses based on a large array of representative data. Although the focus is on Modern Mandarin, earlier stages of Chinese are occasionally referred to in order to highlight striking continuities in its history. VO order is one such constant factor, thus invalidating the idea that Chinese went through a major word order change from OV to VO and back to OV. Another claim often made for Chinese as an isolating language, viz. the existence of an impoverished inventory of parts of speech, is likewise refuted. Other long debated issues addressed here include the relevance of the dichotomy topic vs subject prominence and the role of Chinese as a recurring exception to cross categorial harmonies posited in typological studies. 410 0$aTrends in linguistics.$pStudies and monographs ;$v271. 606 $aChinese language$xSyntax 610 $aCrosslinguistic Comparison. 610 $aMandarin Chinese. 610 $aSyntax. 615 0$aChinese language$xSyntax. 676 $a495.15 686 $aEG 9240$2rvk 700 $aPaul$b Waltraud$0638072 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821803003321 996 $aNew perspectives on Chinese syntax$94010807 997 $aUNINA
