Children are the victims of some of the most devastating examples of state-sanctioned and private human rights abuse. In increasing numbers, they are attempting to find international protection, and are forced to navigate complex administrative and legal processes that fail to take into account their distinct needs and vulnerabilities. The key challenges they face in establishing entitlement to refugee protection are their invisibility and the risk of incorrect assessment. Drawing on an extensive and original analysis of jurisprudence of leading common law jurisdictions, this book undertakes an assessment of the extent to which these challenges may be overcome by greater engagement between international refugee law and international law on the rights of the child. The result is the first comprehensive study on the manner in which these two mutually reinforcing legal regimes can interact to strengthen the protection of refugee children.
Critics have traditionally maintained that capitalism's resurgence after the Second World War precipitated the transition from modernism to postmodernism. This revisionist account shows that modernism does not simply decline. By foregrounding phenomenological conceptions of bodily experience, Jason M. Baskin reveals modernism's ongoing vitality. Key postwar writers, critics and philosophers, including Elizabeth Bishop, Ezra Pound, Ralph Ellison and Raymond Williams, as well as Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Theodor Adorno, developed an aesthetics of embodiment that adapted modernism to a new postwar landscape. Working across differences of race, gender, national and intellectual tradition, genre and form, Baskin contends that these authors used ordinary bodily experiences, such as perception, memory and laughter, to imagine modes of common being and purpose that were otherwise unavailable in a postwar society dominated by liberal capitalism.

Many authors in recent years have written about the Army's reaction to change. They have explored the topic from various perspectives; some look at bureaucracy, others at culture, and still others look at the increasing speed with which the Army's strategic environment is evolving. However, few researchers have assessed the concurrent interaction of these factors. Even fewer have identified a common thread that might help to explain the Army's resistance to change beyond the factors themselves. In this paper, the author attempts to explain the Army's resistance to change from a new perspective ' one that identifies 'organizational hypocrisy? as an anti-catalyst to change in the Army. While this monograph references several established theories of organizational change, the author did not set out to study the Army with any one theory in mind. Instead, he traced many years of discourse regarding change in the Army to try and identify a fresh, grounded view of the subject. This research uncovered something beyond bureaucratic structure, culture, and environment that helps to explain the Army's difficulty with change in recent years. It is a sense of hypocrisy in the rhetoric surrounding change that exacerbates tensions and increases resistance to change within the Army. While one can certainly trace this rhetoric back to any and all of the common factors of change for its sources, a critical view of the rhetoric itself elucidates a significant source of additional anti-change sentiment throughout the Army. This monograph recommends that the Army's strategic leaders adopt a more critical, measured posture on change in the Army. This is not necessarily a call for slowing the pace of change. Rather, it requires Army leaders to approach change from a perspective of healthy skepticism. This skepticism begs to question one's efficacy in directing strategic change (transformation), the authenticity of one's change messages, and whether or not practicable changes ' those that This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Dear Fellow Airman, The purpose of this publication is to provide you with a practical, consolidated, and military-centric financial guide. My goal is to educate, empower, and improve your quality of life by encouraging you and equipping you with the tools necessary to make wise choices with your money. Bottom-line, I want to prepare you for financial success Before we dive into the learning process, I would like for you to keep something in mind..."Only you can prevent forest fires." I know...I know. Right now you're thinking, "What the heck does this have to do with my money?" Well, just stay with me for a second. Believe it or not, this famous message from Smokey Bear is more than 60 years old. Though the saying was recently updated to read "wildfires," the principle clearly remains the same--you and I need to be accountable for our actions. This is certainly the case concerning our personal finances. My sincere desire is that you will read and learn many great things from this publication. But my greater hope is that you will actually DO these things, and do them well. The information you'll find on the following pages is only helpful if you apply it.
