Conversations about energy law and policy are paramount, undergoing new scrutiny and characterizations. Energy Follies: Missteps, Fiascos, and Successes of America's Energy Policy explores how a century of energy policies, rather than solving our energy problems, often made them worse; how Congress and other federal agencies grappled with remedying seemingly myopic past decisions. Sam Kalen and Robert R. Nordhaus investigate how misguided or naïve energy policy decisions caused or contributed to past energy crises, and how it took years to unwind their effects. This work recounts the decades-long struggles to move to market supply and pricing policies for oil and natural gas in order to make competition work in the electric power industry and to tame emissions from the coal fleet left to us by the 1970s coal policies. These historic policies continue to present struggles, and this book reflects on how future challenges ought to learn from our past mistakes.

Corruption takes many different forms and the systems that enable it are complex and challenging. To best understand corruption, one needs to examine how it operates in practice. Understanding Corruption tells the story of how corruption happens in the real world, illustrated through detailed case studies of the many different types of corruption that span the globe. Each case study follows a tried and tested analytical approach that provides key insights into the workings of corruption and the measures best used to tackle it. The case studies examined include examples of corporate bribery, political corruption, facilitation payments, cronyism, state capture, kleptocracy, asset recovery, offshore secrecy, reputation laundering and unexplained wealth, and actors include businesses, governments, politicians, governing bodies and public servants.

U.S. National Security Policy and Strategy
Sam C. Sarkesian; Robert A. Vitas
Greenwood Press
1988
sidottu
This work was designed to establish a sense of history and perspective for the study and teaching of national security. It is also intended to bring a sense of balance to current debates on national security policy. This is accomplished by presenting selected official U.S. documents covering the past thirty years, a careful reading of which not only provides valuable insights into the policy process but also into the meaning of American values. Rather than giving a comprehensive picture, this volume is designed to portray the critical reference points in the periods and events examined, and to identify the attitudes of the times. The book primarily treats the period from 1950 to the mid-1980s, although the first document examined is the National Security Act of 1947. The documents examined cover the national security establishment, new defense policies such as counterinsurgency, the events of the Vietnam War and its aftermath, nuclear strategy, the Reagan reassertion, and congressional constraints on the executive branch of government. A number of foreign and national security policy references were used as background and guides; these are listed in the Select Bibliography.

This book covers several aspects of reservoir management, from initial analysis to enhanced recovery methods, simulation, and history matching. Split into four parts, part one provides readers with an introduction to the physical properties of reservoir rocks. Part two provides an introduction to enhanced recovery methods used for conventional oil production. Part three shows how numerical methods can be used to simulate the behaviour of oil and gas reservoirs. Finally, part four looks at history matching of reservoirs through the building of numerical models using past data, in order to provide best practice for future reservoir development and management.Written as the third volume in the Imperial College Lectures in Petroleum Engineering, and based on lectures that have been given in the world-renowned Imperial College Masters Course in Petroleum Engineering, Topics in Reservoir Management provides the basic information needed for students and practitioners of petroleum engineering and petroleum geoscience.
Case Studies in Sport Diplomacy

The growing influence of sport has created a unique opportunity to build international relationships for a number of purposes, including cultural, economic, shared humanitarian, and increasingly, political diplomacy. This book explores the influence and effectiveness of sport diplomacy in improving long-term relations between nations by opening a dialogue with international leaders, raising awareness of host countries and to bridging cultural differences, and in building international relationships through ambassadors that could increase trade and legislative agreements, and even bring peace to nations in conflict. Authored by talented scholars from all over the world, many of whom served as sport diplomats, their unique perspective in each case sheds light on the ways in which sport diplomacy can succeed or falter in achieving strategic objectives between influential -- and in some cases historically adversarial -- countries. A thoroughly intriguing look at sport diplomacys past and ongoing efforts to improve relations with countries such as Brazil, Russia, Iran and China, this book brings to the forefront an area in which sport has been able to open up and increase opportunities to build relationships between people, communities, governments and countries.

Föreningen Arbetarskrivar
2016

Föreningen Arbetarskrivares tionde antologi gör avstamp i samtiden och tar läsaren med till framtiden. En framtid där klyftorna tilltar, och där arbetarklassen är under ännu hårdare attack. En arbetarklass som redan nu blir allt bredare, där traditionella arbetaryrken som byggnadsarbetare, städare och vårdbiträden går sida vid sida med lärare, papperslösa och barn till ensamstående sjuka föräldrar. Sveriges största samling arbetarlitterära skrivare är tillbaka; mer rasande, stolta, framåtblickande, skrattande, vassare - och fler - än någonsin. Det finns de som försöker förminska dagens arbetarklass, förneka att den ens finns, trots att Sverige skulle stanna utan den. Att arbetarklassen finns och har betydelse syns inte minst i dagens arbetarlitteratur, som inte varit så stark sedan storhetstiden under trettio- och fyrtiotalet. Dagens arbetarlitteratur skapar inte bara samhällsdebatt som då, utan bidrar även med konstnärlig utveckling. Föreningen Arbetarskrivare är Sveriges största och bredaste arbetarlitterära samling. I takt med att föreningen växer i omfång och samhällskommenterande och konstnärlig kraft skapas plats för fler arbetarpoeter och -författare att nå ut. Föreningen vårdar den arbetarlitterära traditionen och ger nya, spännande röster möjlighet att höras. Bland föreningens medlemmar finns författare som skapat riksdagsmotioner och omfattande samhällsdebatter, visat på villkoren för de mest utsatta i dagens Sverige: Bemanningsanställda, Fas3-placerade, papperslösa, invandrade arbetare, hemlösa, äldrevårdspersonal och lastbilschaufförer. Här finns en rad mottagare av Augustpris, Ivar Lo-pris, Svenska Akademien-pris och alla andra litterära priser. Hos Föreningen Arbetarskrivare publicerar de sig i tidskriften KLASS och i föreningens antologier sedan snart tjugo år tillbaka axel mot axel med tidigare opublicerade arbetar- skrivare. Det här betyder förstås en hel del för arbetarlitteraturens fortsatta utveckling. Här finns den tydligaste och intressantaste bilden av hur vid och komplex dagens arbetarklass är, där kallskänkor och byggnadsarbetare kan känna gemenskap och igenkänning med arbets- lösa, lärare och journalister när villkoren försämras, arbetsdagen hårdnar och otryggheten ökar. Efter oss är Föreningen Arbetarskrivares tionde antologi och den mest omfattande vad gäller omfång, antal författare och texter. Intresset att medverka har varit rekordstort. Den här boken vårdar också uppkäftigheten och humorn, som alltid varit viktiga för föreningen. I antologin ger vi via samtiden en bild av framtiden, ur vårt perspektiv – vi som ser världen underifrån.
A revealing view of America and its citizens at the dawn of a new century, by the author of the "New York Times "Notable Book "Who We Are"For more than two centuries, America has taken stock every decade, producing a statistical self-portrait of our population. In "Who We Are Now," Sam Roberts identifies and illuminates the trends and social shifts changing the face of America today. America is in the midst of a fundamental transformation. The nation's complexion changed significantly over the twentieth century, creating more varied and intermingled identities, and with the baby boomers nearing retirement and their children entering college, the graying of America has been balanced, precariously, by the youth culture. And in the wake of welfare reform in the 1990s, the fate of the working poor has become all the more tenuous. Roberts masterfully weaves stories of individuals from all corners of the country alongside the data from the latest U.S. census, creating a compelling guided tour of the places, personalities, and politics that will shape America as the new century stretches before us.
