As the global 'data revolution' accelerates, how can the data rights and interests of indigenous peoples be secured? Premised on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, this book argues that indigenous peoples have inherent and inalienable rights relating to the collection, ownership and application of data about them.

Modern pundits give Donald Trump little credit for anything even though he is clearly The Greatest Man in Our Time. I would say it is because the bulk of the news media simply do not like him as he does not want to have anything to do with a Marxist agenda.Before Trump set the world on fire from 2017 to 2020, the five highest rated presidents, according to a C-SPAN survey, for example were Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower. I do not contest the fact that they showed greatness in office but when you look at all of Trump's accomplishments and the complexity of our times, the 45th president deserves much more consideration.That's why I wrote this book. You may never choose to invite Donald John Trump over the house for breakfast or even a holiday gathering, but looking back at his four years in office, whether you like him or not, most Americans admit those were some of the most prosperous and warless years we have had in our lifetimes. We have the chance again to have the Greatest Man in Our Time as President in a few more years. Let's do our best to assure it. .After you read this book, I hope you feel as comfortable as I do to place Donald J. Trump on the top of this venerable stack of great presidents. With all of the flack Trump received as president, there are clearly a number of Americans who would not cast their vote for Best President his way under any circumstance. But there are a lot who would. I am glad you are reading this book as it will help you know what a great man and a great president we can have again as our leader.

The judges and the judiciary-the entire court system and the school boards/school system cannot be elective positions-these have to be selective positions from the lowest rung of the ladder with retirement age-selected and promoted in the hierarchy on the basis of merit and performance fitting their professions and strictly academic and true to their faculties-nothing to do with party politics or any other political interest. The judges and the judiciary and education are not here to promote party politics-they are here to promote their professions. Only The President, federal legislature, state legislatures and city councils can be political party based elective positions-none other.In America, our stores are full of goods "made in China"- in the Home Depots, Macy's, Walmarts, Targets, Dick's Sporting Goods, Best Buy's, furniture stores, shoe stores, apparel stores etc. Also all sorts of electronic goods ranging from Apple iPhones, iPads, Mac Books, other computers, TV sets; even steel, some cars; pharmaceuticals-a lot of these we order online and on Amazon-all are made in China. As a result of all this, the American people's money, jobs, industries and factories, manufacturing skills and know-how are lost to China. Thus, China has become richer with American people's money while America becomes poorer; China becomes stronger while America becomes weaker. China's military power around the world rises, whereas America's power is reduced. China also steals American research, technology, intellectual property through its students attending American universities and colleges. If this situation is not reversed China will terrorize America and the world. This Book is about reversing that situation.

In the new edition of his standard work, the founder of one of the most successful lobbying companies in the European Union (EU), Prof. Klemens Joos, bundles experience acquired over more than three decades to form a scientific theory on governmental relations. It focusses on the insight that, in view of the increasingly complex decision-making structures of the EU, the most precise possible knowledge of decision-makers and decision-making processes is at least equally as important to success as the content aspects of interest representation. In a new chapter, the author sets out the formula for science-based interest representation developed by him from his practical experience.With the Treaty of Lisbon, which entered into force on 1 December 2009, the EU de facto became a state territory stretching from Portugal to Finland and from Ireland to Cyprus. The European Parliament became an equal-status decision-maker alongside the Council of the European Union (Council). The previous co-decision procedure was elevated to become the standard procedure ("ordinary legislative procedure"). The so-called qualified majority (55 percent of the EU member states which simultaneously represent at least 65 percent of the EU population) was introduced for all important areas in the Council. As a result, the outcome of decision-making processes has become largely incalculable for the actors on the "European Union stage" - the EU member states, EU regions, companies, associations and organisations.The second edition includes a new chapter, in which Prof. Klemens Joos makes the variables of successful interest representation even more tangible on the basis of his scientific formula: at the latest since the Treaty of Lisbon, the basic prerequisite for successful interest representation in the EU involves the continuous and close intermeshing of the affected party's content competence (of the four "classic instruments" of interest representation: corporate representative offices, associations, public affairs agencies, law firms) with process structure competence (i.e. the EU-wide maintenance of the required spatial, personnel and organisational capacities as well as strong networks across institutions, political groups and member states) on the part of an independent intermediary. The likelihood of success can be increased exponentially if success is achieved, firstly, in committing to the concern of an affected party through a change of perspective such that the positive effects on the common good are shifted into the foreground for the decision-makers in the EU (perspective change competence) and, secondly, in successfully integrating the concern into the crucial decision-making processes at the political level and continuously supporting it (process support competence).Guest authors:This work includes guest contributions from Prof. Christian Blümelhuber (Berlin University of the Arts), Prof. Anton Meyer (formerly LMU Munich), Prof. Armin Nassehi (LMU Munich) and Prof. Franz Waldenberger (Director of the German Institute of Japanese Studies, Tokyo) as well as a foreword by Prof. Gunther Friedl (Dean of the TUM School of Management) and a preface by Prof. Thomas F. Hofmann (President of TU Munich).

While the ambitious objectives outlined in the EU¿s Green Deal aim at making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, national implementation greatly varies depending on local geographies, history, culture, economics, and politics. This book analyses Member States¿ and EU neighbours¿ national efforts to combat climate change. It subsequently draws on these factors to highlight local challenges, tensions, and opportunities on the road towards climate neutrality. In the context of inter-country dependencies following Russiäs war against Ukraine, it addresses strategic questions regarding EU integration, the transformation of our economies, the reduction of energy dependencies, and public perception of the above. The book also makes concrete recommendations, in various policy areas, on how individual countries and the EU as a whole should deal with the climate crisis.

World War I was a gold mine for the capitalist class. The only problem was that they did not want to pay the entire war cost themselves. The banking plutocrats created the Liberty Loan programs to pass much of that cost along to the underclasses - five in total from 1917 to 1919. An intense campaign was put in motion to sell the bonds, perhaps the most significant public relations campaign to that time. Those who refused to buy any bonds or less than their "fair share" were demonized by the capitalist class as "financial slackers." Such individuals were attacked in the media by all the opinion makers of the day. No excuse for not buying was acceptable. It was a program crafted exclusively by the banking plutocracy, the United States Treasury Department bureaucrats, and administered by the newly created Federal Reserve banking system. The bond program was unnecessary since the ruling class could easily have paid the total cost, with almost enough money in liquid bank deposits alone. In all the discussions about how to raise money for the war, there was never any mention of some wealth tax; it was there the majority of money of the capitalist class was to be found, not from "income" as usually defined. Resistors to buying the bonds were often subject to summary dismissal from their jobs, tarred and feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail. Those who declined to purchase bonds were ruthlessly attacked by naming, shaming, force, and coercion. No one had a good word to say about those who declined to purchase bonds; dissent was not allowed.

This book tells the story of a remarkable group of people living in Melbourne. After surviving natural disasters, a bloody civil war, and years in displaced persons camps, Somalis arrived in Melbourne as refugees in the mid 1990s. Many spoke no English and had lost members of their immediate and extended families. Their social ties were severed, they found themselves without any standing in society, and their qualifications were often not recognised. They had to start again from scratch, finding housing and employment, entering the education system and raising large families in small houses and apartments. Their children were often born outside Somalia, and are not familiar with the country as visits are rare or do not occur at all. These young people are part of Somali Gen 1.5, sharing common experiences of flight and resettlement. Theirs is a fascinating and complex story, which this book starts to tell.

Dieses Buch präsentiert einen Ansatz zur Beschreibung des gesellschaftlichen Phänomens Klimawandel - also der Klimabewegung. Die Suche nach den Ursachen und Auswirkungen dieses epochalen und globalen Naturereignisses erfolgt außerhalb der Klimawissenschaften, aber unter deren Berücksichtigung. Die Analysen geben einen unerwartet umfassenden Blick in die innere Mechanik des Phänomens und öffnen neue Fenster zur Betrachtung. Auf dieser Basis wird das einmalige deutsche Gesellschaftsexperiment der Energietransformation durchleuchtet.Der erste Teil verfolgt das Ziel, den Klimawandel und die Klimabewegeung als Phänomen in seiner Gesamtheit zu verstehen. Im zweiten Teil erfolgt eine analytische Abschätzung der Transformationsleistung für unsere deutsche Gesellschaft, um von den fossilen Energieträgern auf Wind und Sonne umschwenken zu können. Dieser Teil wirft eine Reihe von bisher unbeantworteten und neuen Fragen auf. Der dritte Teil stellt ein praktisches Beispiel zur Anwendung von Wasserstoff vor. Er zeigt, wie ein System auf Basis von Wasserstoff zur Versorgung von kleinen Siedlungen aufgebaut sein könnte.

This book provides the most comprehensive study of the Australian think-tank industry to date. Drawing on empirical evidence, it first assesses the structure of the industry, the methods think tanks use to persuade policymakers, and public perceptions of their effectiveness. The book then proceeds to examine three unique policy cases to analyse think tank influence on policymaking. It argues that whilst think tanks play important roles in Australiäs policy process, their impacts vary depending on their approach and objectives. The book also demonstrates that policymakers with contrasting ideological orientations diverge in their assessments of the utility and influence of think tanks. It will appeal to students and scholars of public policy, and practitioners in public administration and governance.

This book analyses major themes in twenty-first-century east African politics. Predominantly authored by researchers and academics from the region, it examines recent political developments, public policy and governance across east and southern African countries. The book advocates for a regionally-focused comparative approach across Africa, arguing that it provides a greater level of analysis than a complete continental study. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, it covers numerous topics relating to politics, public policy, state and nation-building in Africa. Filling an important void in current literature, the book will appeal to academics, practitioners, politicians and students of politics, public policy and governance.Chapter 16 and 20 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

For the people of Timor-Leste, independence promised a fundamental transformation from foreign occupation to self-rule, from brutality to respect for basic rights, and from poverty to prosperity.

Der Band setzt sich mit den Krisen und Transformationsherausforderungen unserer Zeit, deren Management und der demokratischen Gestaltung mutiger Zukunftsvisionen auseinander. Ziel ist es, aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven das Verständnis für die anstehenden transformativen Herausforderungen zu schärfen und erste systematische Lösungsansätze zu skizzieren. Die Rahmenbedingungen und Charakteristika des Regierens in der Transformationsgesellschaft werden entlang der drei Transformationscluster Daseinsvorsorge, Demographie, Digitalisierung und dem übergeordneten Cluster Demokratie diskutiert. So richtet sich der Band nicht nur an einen wissenschaftlichen Leser*innenkreis, sondern adressiert auch dezidiert ein interessiertes Publikum außerhalb des wissenschaftlichen Betriebs.

Some of the many problems South Africa now faces¿such as the conflict over land ownership¿predate apartheid, but by far the majority can be traced to that era. Most obviously: the impoverished townships and weak educational system are the result of decades of spending policies that deliberately left black South African communities underdeveloped. However, the current style of governance and the normalization of corruption began during the apartheid era as well. Those legacies have been difficult to escape and continue to bedevil the country today.South Africäs problems defy easy solutions. Since Mandeläs death in 2013, reappraisals of his presidency have tempered his saintly legacy; Mandela himself had admitted that he had not done enough to combat the AIDS epidemic. That he could have solved the entrenched problems in five years as president seems unlikely, and South Africa continues to grapple with them today.

"Situated within the context of seismic global transformations of the early twentieth century-namely the two World Wars and the crisis of the imperial order-Provincial Democracy delves into the period between the decline of empire and the rise of the nation. This period, the book contends, is defined by not only the dominance of the nation state and debates over a new global order, but also the expansion of democratic participation in defining and negotiating political futures and an increased use of the language of liberalism, political rights, and self-government in colonial India. Moreover, it shifts the focus from the dominant narrative of linguistic nationalism as defining regionalism on to debates over questions of representation, rights, political reforms, and federalism. Thus, it uncovers a broad perspective on political imaginaries that anticipated democracy in independent India"--
