Discriminatory clubs : the geopolitics of international organizations / Christina L. Davis

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 18:26:14 +0900

Christina L. Davis. Discriminatory clubs : the geopolitics of international organizations. Princeton University Press; Princeton University Press, [2023]; ©2023. ISBN:9780691247793; 069124779X; 9780691247786; 0691247781
"Member selection is one of the defining elements of social organization, imposing categories on who we are and what we do. 'Discriminatory clubs' shows how international organizations are like social clubs, ones in which institutional rules and informal practices enable states to favor friends while excluding rivals. Where race or socioeconomic status may be a basis for discrimination by social clubs, geopolitical alignment determines who gets into the room to make the rules of global governance. Christina Davis brings together a wealth of data on membership provisions for more than three hundred organizations to reveal the prevalence of club-style selection on the world stage. States join organizations to deepen their association with a particular group of states--most often their allies--and for the gains from policy coordination. Even organizations that claim to be universal, to target narrow issues, or to cover geographic regions use club-style admission criteria. Davis demonstrates that when it comes to the most important decision of cooperation--who belongs to the club and who doesn't--geopolitical alignment can matter more than the merits or policies of potential members. With illuminating case studies ranging from nineteenth-century Japan to contemporary Palestine and Taiwan, 'Discriminatory clubs' sheds light on how, for global and regional organizations such as the WTO and the EU, alliance ties and shared foreign-policy positions form the basis of cooperation."--

Self-organization and mobility deprivation of poor workers in Hong Kong and Singapore / Joseph Cho-Yam Lau

Wed, 18 Sep 2024 17:22:31 +0900

Joseph Cho-Yam Lau. Self-organization and mobility deprivation of poor workers in Hong Kong and Singapore. Springer, [2023], Quality of life in Asia ; volume 18. ISBN:9819972647; 9789819972647; 9789819972654; 9819972655
This book focuses on the influence of socio-economic and land-use policies on the commuting problems and quality of life of the poor in Singapore and Hong Kong. It considers the influence of self-organisation: how the mobility of an individual is constituted by structures such as transport systems or socio-economic structural factors, as well as influenced by individual decisions. Where most transport studies focus on the influence of factors such as income inequality, the gender gap, and the built environment, this book fills a gap in paying particular attention to the influence of individual decisions on commuting. Given the prevalence of the former in research, government decision-makers are often constrained by these approaches and fail to understand the commuting problems of the poor. This book argues that the self-organisation approach provides some ideas that are outside the common conceptual framework in conventional transport planning and looks to improve mobility of lower-income commuters. Relevant to social science researchers working in areas such as urban planning and transport, mobility deprivation, and poverty, this book breaks new ground in quality of life studies in the Singapore and Hong Kong contexts

Through her work on anart project, she is finally able to face what really happened that night: She was raped by an upperclassman, a guy who still a threat to her. With powerful illustrations by Emily Carroll, Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak: The Graphic Novel comes alive for new audiences and fans of the classic novel. --
