Free Download Volkan Deli, "Iraqi Refugees in the United States: Self-Sufficiency and Responsibilization in the Vicious Cycle of Integration"
English | ISBN: 3031387929 | 2023 | 246 pages | PDF | 4 MB
In the literature on forced migration, little is known about the experiences of Iraqi refugees resettled in the United States through the US Refugee Admissions, Reception and Placement Program. As part of its longstanding refugee resettlement policy, the United States has accepted and provided safe haven to thousands of refugees. Focusing primarily on the situation of Iraqis resettled in Arizona since the 1990s, this research uses interview findings and first-hand data to examine various aspects of their post-resettlement experiences through a meta-theoretical approach that includes aspects of humanitarian governance, adaptation, acculturation and integration. Building on this theoretical understanding, this book examines the process from the first moment of resettlement to integration as a multi-layered social reality and reveals the fundamental impact of forced migration on the ‘politics of refugee life’. By examining the US resettlement program in relation to the role and functions of resettlement agencies and non-profit organizations in collaboration with the government, this book highlights the fundamental difference between refugee integration and migrant integration, introduces new concepts of integration, discusses the US refugee admissions, reception and placement program and refugee integration in relation to the organization of humanitarian governance globally, and offers recommendations for improving resettlement and integration processes.

Free Download Embedded Autonomy: States and Industrial Transformation By Peter B. Evans
1995 | 344 Pages | ISBN: 069103737X | PDF | 4 MB
In recent years, debate on the state’s economic role has too often devolved into diatribes against intervention. Peter Evans questions such simplistic views, offering a new vision of why state involvement works in some cases and produces disasters in others. To illustrate, he looks at how state agencies, local entrepreneurs, and transnational corporations shaped the emergence of computer industries in Brazil, India, and Korea during the seventies and eighties. Evans starts with the idea that states vary in the way they are organized and tied to society. In some nations, like Zaire, the state is predatory, ruthlessly extracting and providing nothing of value in return. In others, like Korea, it is developmental, promoting industrial transformation. In still others, like Brazil and India, it is in between, sometimes helping, sometimes hindering. Evans’s years of comparative research on the successes and failures of state involvement in the process of industrialization have here been crafted into a persuasive and entertaining work, which demonstrates that successful state action requires an understanding of its own limits, a realistic relationship to the global economy, and the combination of coherent internal organization and close links to society that Evans called "embedded autonomy."

Free Download The United States and Argentina: Changing Relations in a Changing World By Deborah Lee Norden; Roberto Russell; Roberto Guillermo Russell
20002 | 167 Pages | ISBN: 0415932793 | PDF | 7 MB
Following a long history of conflict and distrust, the end of the Cold War witnessed the emergence of a strong friendship between the United States and Argentina. Historically one of the strongest and most independent countries of Latin America, Argentina developed a foreign policy during the post-Cold War period characterized by a strong allegiance to the United states. Deborah L. Norden and Roberto Russell show how Argentina’s economic and political instability encouraged the government to redefine U.S.-Argentina’s relations from prior patterns of animosity in order to improve the country’s international image and attract foreign support. Although unable to prevent Argentina’s renewed crisis in 2001, this shift nonetheless allowed the country to approach the crisis from a very different international position than previously. The United States and Argentina sets out to explore the nature of U.S.-Argentine relations by concentrating on the issues which have shaped and stood out in the dialogue between the two countries and how this shifting relationship has been played out in international institutions. — Back cover.

Free Download Rowland Brucken, "A Most Uncertain Crusade: The United States, the United Nations, and Human Rights, 1941-1953"
English | ISBN: 0875804713 | 2013 | 450 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
A Most Uncertain Crusade traces and analyzes the emergence of human rights as both an international concern and as a controversial domestic issue for US policy makers during and after World War II. Rowland Brucken focuses on officials in the State Department, at the United Nations, and within certain domestic non-governmental organizations, and explains why, after issuing wartime declarations that called for the definition and enforcement of international human rights standards, the US government refused to ratify the first UN treaties that fulfilled those twin purposes. The Truman and Eisenhower administrations worked to weaken the scope and enforcement mechanisms of early human rights agreements, and gradually withdrew support for Senate ratification. A small but influential group of isolationist-oriented senators, led by John Bricker (R-OH), warned that the treaties would bring about socialism, destroy white supremacy, and eviscerate the Bill of Rights. At the UN, a growing bloc of developing nations demanded the inclusion of economic guarantees, support for decolonization, and strong enforcement measures, all of which Washington opposed.

Free Download Alan J. Kohn, "Conus of the Southeastern United States and Caribbean"
English | 2014 | pages: 476 | ISBN: 069113538X | PDF | 42,8 mb
Conus is the largest genus of animals in the sea, occurring throughout the world’s tropical and subtropical oceans and contributing significantly to marine biodiversity. The shells of these marine mollusks are prized for their amazing variety and extraordinary beauty. The neurotoxic venoms they produce―injected by a hollow, harpoon-like tooth into prey animals that are then paralyzed and swallowed whole―have a range of pharmaceutical applications, from painkillers to antidepressants. This beautifully illustrated book identifies 53 valid species of the southeastern United States and the Caribbean, a region that supports a diverse but taxonomically challenging group of Conus. Introductory chapters cover the evolution and phylogeny of the genus, and notes on methodology are provided. Detailed species accounts describe key identification features, taxonomy, distribution, ecology, toxicology, life history, and evolutionary relationships. The book includes more than 2,100 photos of shells on 109 splendid color plates; more than 100 additional photos, many depicting live animals in color; and 35 color distribution maps.
