Unemployment and Goverment's Subsidizing
Unemployment has become more and more pressing matter nowadays. Governments all across the world are implementing policies to increase the employment rates back to the levels before the economic downturn. One of the most important policies implemented by countries governments were employment subsidies, which means that companies got government funding when employing and also that private citizens had the possibility for entrepreneurship stimulus packages. The scope of our study was to determine how the gross domestic product and the government's subsidizing on a country's level affect the number of unemployed on a country level. We have conducted the empirical part of our study on the case of Slovenia and found out that gross domestic product has a bigger effect on the number of unemployed than government's subsidies.

The writing of this article was preceded by a critical study of the latest outlooks for the development of fuel and energy industries by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the International Energy Agency and Russia's Institute of Energy Strategy. Experts agree that hydrocarbons in the coming 20 years will be the basis of fuel and energy industries in the overwhelming majority of countries around the world. Since oil and gas are going to remain the energy source of choice in the world's energy balance during the above period, it is important to analyze the development prospects of the oil and gas industry around the world, in individual regions and countries. The outlooks had in mind above all the impact on the energy component of such important factors as rates of economic growth, population size, world oil price dynamics, and also the effectiveness of energy saving policies.

"African nations have an underdeveloped industrial and economic base such as their water supply, electrical systems, roads, railways, etc. Massive funding is required to build each of these basic services to the levels of developed nations - funding they don't have. Many African countries rely on assistance from the government and global companies looking to invest or facilitate projects in the region. And for a variety of reasons, many of these projects fail or are inadequate to fulfil the needs of the nation. In order to facilitate their own economic development, African nations need to cultivate efficient project management practices and policies that will help them achieve their goal of sustainability. This book by a multidisciplinary project management consultant, contributes to the body of knowledge that each African country can attain and sustain economic development by suggesting how to eliminate and correct most causes of failures of projects in construction, water treatment, electricity and renewable energy. It suggests that they should also be able to obtain the sustainable harvesting of the benefits of project deliverables which have been planned for in order to implement the various aspects of their economic development. The suggestions in this book will make a difference in project delivery and are comprehensive enough to create a root-and-branch change which will affect the people involved in making decision on projects and their delivery. Thus, project management teams and their managers, organization decision makers, companies looking to invest in the region, and politicians who plan the economy have to understand the causes of unhelpful practices and what needs to be done in order to produce productive and effective delivery of long-term sustainable project. The principal goal of this book is to advise public and private companies, and international organizations conducting projects in Africa on how to prepare themselves, their businesses and enterprises to solve the problems that cause failure of projects and abandonment of project deliverables. The book also recommends the necessity for a commercial enterprise or government entity to prepare and develop its vision, mission, and strategic objects to constitute the basis of a business plan which should be implemented for successful operations. After first identifying various failed and abandoned projects in Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa, the author provides an analysis of why these proj ...

Poster Diffusion du document : INRA Unité d'Economie et Sociologie rurales 4 Allée Adolphe Bobierre CS 61103 35011 Rennes cedex (FRA) ; L'ensemble des pays étudiés, en particulier l'UE, l'Argentine, les États-Unis, le Japon et la Suisse, a mis en place des programmes de réduction des externalités négatives de l'agriculture qui sont relativement semblables. Ces programmes s'écartent du principe pollueur-payeur et se traduisent donc par un transfert du contribuable en faveur du secteur agricole. De plus, les programmes qui ciblent l'élevage hors sol sont très complexes, ce qui implique des coûts de mise en œuvre excessifs rendant leur contrôle problématique. Ils se révèlent inefficaces. La principale différence entre pays résulte du poids donné aux programmes favorisant les externalités positives dans l'UE ainsi qu'au Japon et en Suisse. Ils sont fondés sur la reconnaissance de la multifonctionnalité, qui implique l'existence d'économies de gamme dans la production conjointe de biens marchands et non-marchands. Ces programmes correspondent à une demande croissante de la société pour un environnement de qualité. Ils peuvent constituer un moyen efficace de préservation des ressources naturelles et de production d'aménités.

The housing and service sector account for nearly 40 percent of the total energy usage in the European Union (EU). Improving energy efficiency in the building stock is therefore of vital importance to ensure climate goals. However, increasing the energy efficiency of existing buildings can lead to conflicts with other sustainability goals, such as the preservation of cultural heritage values of the built environment. How this conflict is handled in practice will depend on the design of the legislation and ultimately, the legal system. Not only is legislation on the protection of cultural values necessary, the legal system as a whole must be coherent and without deficits, loop-holes and conflicts contradicting goal fulfilment. Moreover, the norms must be effectively applied and complied with. Results of an interdisciplinary research project assessing the effectiveness of the Swedish legal system in reaching energy goals while preserving heritage values, show that meeting sustainability goals are jeopardized by not applying the law in accordance with the intent of the legislator. This paper elaborates on the deficits identified and how they can be improved in order to handle sustainability conflicts. ; REKO

The traditional assumption today about race is that it is not political; that it has no political content and is a matter of individual beliefs and attitudes. In Race and the Politics of the Exception, Utz McKnight argues that race is in fact political and defines how it functions as a politics in the United States. McKnight organizes his book into three sections, beginning with a theoretical section about racial politics in the United States. Using theorists such as Benjamin, Agamben, and Schmitt, McKnight discusses how the idea of racial communities went from being co.
