An ideal text for undergraduate- and graduate-level courses, this accessible yet authoritative volume examines how people come to know themselves and understand the behavior of others. Core social-psychological questions are addressed as students gain an understanding of the mental processes involved in perceiving, attending to, remembering, thinking about, and responding to the people in our social world. Particular attention is given to how we know what we know the often hidden ways in which our perceptions are shaped by contextual factors and personal and cultural biases. While the text's c

The country operations business plan (COBP), 2020–2022 of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) is consistent with ADB's country partnership strategy (CPS) 2017–2020 for the Lao PDR. The 2020–2022 lending program extends beyond the current country partnership strategy but continues the focus on three strategic priorities: (i) infrastructure and private sector development to support employment and income generation, (ii) enhanced human resource development, and (iii) sustainable natural resource management and climate resilience. Gender equity and governance are crosscutting themes. The COBP will also focus on inclusive and sustainable development in line with the operational priorities of ADB's Strategy 2030: (i) making cities more livable by easing infrastructure constraints and providing urban services; (ii) improving human capital to reduce inequality in access to opportunities, and facilitating the creation of quality jobs; (iii) enhancing rural development and food security; and (iv) providing climate- and disaster-resilient infrastructure and services. Targeted investments across projects will mainstream activities to support gender equality, good governance, innovative knowledge solutions, and policy and institutional reforms. The projects will also contribute to the attainment of several Sustainable Development Goals in the Lao PDR. The COBP, 2020–2022 also supports implementation of the government's 8th National Socio-Economic Development Plan (2016–2020);2 the Ha Noi Action Plan, 2018–2022; and the Regional Investment Framework 2022 for the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS).

Deze studie onderzocht de rechtvaardiging van economische, sociale en culturele rechten die worden gegarandeerd door de internationale (mensenrechten) wetgeving en de implicaties ervan voor de daaruit voortvloeiende verplichtingen van de staat. Het heeft met name onderzocht of en op welke manier de menselijke waardigheid een levensvatbare normatieve rechtvaardiging biedt voor ESC rechten die worden gegarandeerd door het internationaal recht en het soort concrete juridische verplichtingen van de staat die daaruit voortvloeien, en de manier waarop deze verplichtingen worden weerspiegeld in de internationale ESC rechtenjurisprudentie uit diverse jurisdicties. De studie biedt een frisse kijk op de manier waarop we de rechtvaardiging, aard en juridische implicaties van ESC rechten moeten benaderen, zowel in het algemeen als in de specifieke context van kwetsbare personen. Daartoe heeft de studie, nadat de ernstige tekortkomingen van de traditionele theorieën over de mensenrechten zijn geïdentificeerd, het idee van de sociale opvatting van de mensenrechten geïntroduceerd, dat wil zeggen dat de mensenrechten geworteld zijn in en in wezen gericht zijn op de praktische en complexe sociale relaties en daarmee de bescherming, het behoud en de promotie van het leven en de waarde van de mens. Er wordt beargumenteerd dat de menselijke waardigheid een onderliggend moreel beginsel vormt achter de sociale relaties en de normatieve rechtvaardiging van alle mensenrechten. De menselijke waardigheid stelt als normatief beginsel een onvoorwaardelijk respect voor het morele en biologische wezen van de mens. In het kader van ESC rechten verbidt deze verplichting op de verplichting van de staat om essentiële procedurele en materiële voorwaarden te eerbiedigen en te waarborgen die nodig zijn om een menswaardig leven te leiden. ; This study has examined the justification of economic, social and cultural rights guaranteed under international (human rights) law and its implications for the State obligations emerging therefrom. It has particularly investigated whether and in what manner human dignity provides a viable normative justification for ESC rights guaranteed under international law and the kind of concrete State legal obligations flowing therefrom and the way these obligations are reflected in international ESC rights jurisprudence from across jurisdictions. The study provides a fresh perspective regarding the way we should approach the justification, nature and legal implications of ESC rights both generally and in the specific context of vulnerable persons. To this end, the study, having identified the critical limitations of the traditional human rights theories, has introduced the idea of the social conception of human rights, that is, human rights as being rooted in and essentially concerned with the practical and complex social relations and therewith the protection, preservation and promotion of the life and value of human being. It has argued that human dignity constitutes an underlying moral principle behind the social relations and the normative justification of all human rights. As a normative principle, human dignity asserts an unconditional respect for the moral and biological being of humans. In the context of ESC rights, this obligation threads on the State's obligation to respect and ensure essential procedural and substantive conditions required to live a dignified human life.
