This book analyses the diffusion and implementation of Aid Effectiveness Principles in Kenyäs agricultural sector. Although Aid Effectiveness Principles represent a significant step in aid and development discourse, studies on its implementation remain inadequate, especially in the African context. This book combines the perspectives of the Kenyan government, donor representatives and small-scale farmers. The discussion on Kenya brings in comparative perspectives and, therefore, would have broader relevance to the African region, in general. It highlights a disconnect between the government and farmers concerning the ownership concept, where farmers lack a voice in important policy matters. The book shows that donors have exploited the weaknesses in government responses to interpret The Principles in ways that suit their strategic interests. Consequently, the book argues that the diffusion of Aid Effectiveness Principles has taken the form of symbolic imitation ¿ a form of policy diffusion where the policymakers choose policies for their symbolic value rather than their effectiveness.

"Humanitarian Standards Partnership"--Cover.

This book provides the first comprehensive account of the New EU Competition Law: an emerging understanding of the discipline that breaks from the consensus that emerged in the early 2000s and that leads it into uncharted territories. Competition law has undergone fundamental transformations in the past decade: from the rise and fall of the 'effects-based approach' to the challenge of Big Tech and the growing interaction with intellectual property. Making sense of these changes and fully grasping their implications can be difficult. The book discusses the shift from traditional enforcement in the industrial era to the sort of regulatory intervention that a knowledge-based economy demands. It presents the changes that the field is undergoing (policy priorities, relationship with regulation and intangible assets, move away from efficiency and consumer welfare) and illustrates them by reference to the most significant developments in the field.The analysis includes an up-to-date evaluation of the Digital Markets Act and discusses the application of EU competition law to key areas, including energy, pharma, telecommunications, and online platforms. The companion website (https://www.bloomsburyonlineresources.com/the-new-eu-competition-law) provides access to the data behind the charts and tables included in the book, and gives readers the tools to investigate the latest developments in this fast-changing area.Conceived as a 'modular' book, practitioners and advanced students will find it useful as a map to navigate the underlying trends in the field and as an in-depth dissection of the key case law and administrative practice of the past decade.

Die prominente Position der Unionsburgerschaft - an erster Stelle - unterstreicht, dass sich die Union von einer bloen Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft weit entfernt und zu einer politischen Gemeinschaft entwickelt hat. Gleichwohl bilden die klassischen"e; Politikbereiche des Binnenmarkts (samt der diesen pragenden Wettbewerbsregeln), der Wirtschafts- und Wahrungsunion, der Kohasionspolitik und der Gemeinsamen Agrarpolitik nach wie vor zentrale wirtschaftliche Tatigkeitsfelder der Union, die in dem Band behandelt werden. Weniger wirtschaftsnah"e; erscheinen die Bereiche der Sozial- und der Umweltpolitik sowie die Bereiche Bildung, Kultur, Forschung und technologische Entwicklung, in denen die Unionskompetenzen schwacher ausgepragt sind. Zwei Abschnitte zur europaischen Innenpolitik"e; (Raum der Freiheit, der Sicherheit und des Rechts) sowie zum auswartigen Handeln der Union schlieen den Band ab, welcher insgesamt einen umfassenden Einblick in die wichtigsten Tatigkeitsbereiche der Union vermittelt.

Rose Addams is hitting her sixties, but these days it feels like they're starting to hit back. Her daughter, Morgan, has ditched her thesis program and moved back home to Vancouver, while her son Jason's partner has never seen eye to eye with his mother. Her husband Charles has decided to take early retirement from the university to work on his long-gestating book, and his rakish best friend Garnet has a new mistress who is way too young for their social circle. When Rose encounters a young man panhandling outside of her library office though, a chain of events is set in motion whereby Rose will have to confront all the facets of her rapidly-complicating life.Recalling the work of Caroline Adderson, Krista Foss, and Marie-Renée Lavoie, Margie Taylor's Rose Addams is an insight into the life of a woman who is in the process of beginning her third act, an empathetic and incisive look at the problems of those just exiting middle age while attempting to keep up with a rapidly-changing world.

"The fascinating story of the Red River Settlement, now Winnipeg, in the years 1813 to 1816, told with archival journals, reports, and letters. Unsettled tells the story of two hundred Highlanders who flee the Scottish Clearances in 1813 to establish a settlement on the Red River in what eventually became Winnipeg. They are sponsored by the Earl of Selkirk, a man who has never been west of Montreal. Families who have never left their Highland crofts take an epic journey over ocean, up wild rivers, and through boundless wilderness, surviving disease and brutal winter only to face the determined opposition of fur barons who want no sodbusters threatening their trade and are prepared to stop at nothing to destroy their dream. The "empty" land they've been promised is also anything but, already occupied by First Nations bands and the beginnings of that proud nation soon to be called Mâetis, whom they must befriend or fight. Unsettled takes you inside the experience, relying on journals, reports, and letters to bring these days of soaring hope, crushing despair, and heroic determination to life -- to bring their present into ours."--
