"As an Alaska Native (Unangax) raised among my Elders, I was taught Indigenous ways of thinking, the importance of honoring and respecting our Elders and all people and as I moved through the Western education system, I came to realize the knowledge of the land, the water, and the environment taught to me by Elders in my family and community was not in the textbooks, not shared by others, not honored or respected when shared in a group setting"--

Purpose: This paper analyses the progress in extending disclosure of non-financial and diversity CSR information and seeks answer for the question if the definite pension and wage benefits in case of corporate insolvencies should be reflected in the management reports.Design/methodology/approach: Literature analysis, analysis of existing legislation and mechanism for the application of domestic law corresponded to EU directives and international guidelines and standards have been used to formulate conclusions. Сomparative studies of Belarusian legislation and the relevant international wage and pension protection instruments were analysed for making more informed and well-argued conclusions and recommendations based upon these studies.Research and practical limitations/implications: The theoretical framework of this paper is combined with analysis of the existing regulations on the protection of the rights of employees' and pensioners' claims in case of company insolvency.Findings: The conducted research suggests that together with implementation of diversity issues, employment issues, etc. of social and employee matters, companies are expected to disclose such material information as employees' and pensioners' claims in case of company insolvency through disclosing a relevant non-financial and diversity information in management reports.Originality/value: This article summarizes arguments behind the implementation of social responsibility aspects of companies' insolvency in the management reports.

Metadata only record ; This book is a collection of papers presented at a workshop titled 'Listening to the people: social aspects of dryland management,' held in Nairobi, Kenya, 14-18 December 1993. The event was organized by the Desertification Control Programme Activity Centre of UNEP to develop a better understanding of community participation and bottom-up development. A primary goal of the workshop was to formulate recommendations of what needs to be done to achieve sustainable development in the drylands. A prerequisite for the success of any intervention affecting a local community is that the planners recognize the institutions, systems of indigenous knowledge and management structures that already exist. The papers and discussions of the workshop analyse the experiences of over three decades of attempts by governments, donor agencies and non-governmental organizations to promote economic development in the drylands of developing countries. Six sections of the book cover: (1) the social dimensions and concepts of desertification; (2) participatory approaches and methods related to development of the drylands; (3) social aspects of dryland management; (4) indigenous knowledge; (5) gender issues in natural resource management; and (6) the importance of government policies in dryland management.

This article deals with the preliminary findings on some social aspects of embourgeoisement amongst respondents to a social survey in Melbourne, Australia. The sample is stratified into blue collar, white collar and middle class workers. The findings are that whilst there is little or no difference in the source of general `life-satisfactions' and orientation to work across the groups, there are strong differences in the `leisure companion' network, membership of and leadership in `voluntary associations', and `educational aspirations for children'. The same results were found when income was held constant. These findings, taken into conjunction with previous findings about economic differences, lead to the broad conclusion that whilst Australia is affluent in a similar way to Britain and the U.S.A. the social structure is dissimilar and that there is little evidence of the convergence of the social classes.

The Meiji Restoration of 1868 resumed the early Japanese practice, which had been interrupted for 1,000 yrs of importing culture from abroad & adapting it to Japanese needs & conditions. One means it used to accomplish this was to endorse the policy of sending S's abroad to study & do res. The door was closed on the practice by WWII but opened again in 1945. In the period 1949-1955 Japan has sent 1,473 S's to the US, France, GB, Germany, India, & Italy. Also during the same period Japan participated in 318 internat conferences. Since 1954 Japan herself has invited 38 undergrads & res S's to study in Japan at her expense. During the yrs immediately following the Meiji Restoration Japanese S's could bring home the knowledge & techniques of Western culture. They helped lay the foundation for modern Japan. Later S's found it more difficult to make such radical & important influences on national life & policy. The nationalism & xenophobia which became more & more dominant in Japan reduced incentives to study abroad. Self-examination after WWII has led to a resumption of the policy of learning as much as possible from foreign nations. Technical knowledge & world understanding should both be emphasized in foreign study probrams. Needed adjustments in the program include the desirability of providing orientation courses (in language & customs) for the participants, making it possible for married S's to bring their families with them, improving the means for selecting exchange S's & scholars, & for increasing the scope of the exchanges.

Introduction: the article is devoted to the autonomization process (gaining of ethnical and territorial autonomy) in modern Europe and relevance of the social component in this process. Purpose: to analyze the significance of the social component, considered under this study as vesting autonomies with power to carry out social policy and providing them with the relevant financial opportunities in the course of decentralization and devolution. Methods: the methodological framework of the research is based on a set of methods, including universal, general scientific methods and also comparative law and technical methods. Results: various models of autonomization in Europe show various strategies of regional and/or ethnical elites. The models considered in the article are characterized with the elites' focus on gaining a high degree of autonomy and its legitimation (decentralization without breakup of the state, devolution without revolution). Though political ambitions, ethnical and regional identity play their significant part, socio-economic factors, in general, and the autonomization social component, in particular, determine this process to a considerable extent. The European models of autonomization do not exemplify political ambitions being satisfied at the expense of social policy curtailing.
