Abstract:

In the monograph developed a scientifically grounded concept and methodological quality assurance of audit services. Used in the Russian practice the system of indicators of audit quality are not sufficiently effective due to the lack of a uniform conceptual apparatus in the field of audit quality, allowing you to combine the expectations of users, requirements of regulatory bodies and public auditing. The most urgent task of the present stage of development of audit activities is the development of holistic, taking account of national features of the concept of audit quality. For studen

Abstract:

During the 24-year Indonesian occupation of East Timor, thousands of people died, or were killed, in circumstances that did not allow the required death rituals to be performed. Since the nation’s independence, families and communities have invested considerable time, effort and resources in fulfilling their obligations to the dead. These obligations are imbued with urgency because the dead are ascribed agency and can play a benevolent or malevolent role in the lives of the living. These grassroots initiatives run, sometimes critically, in parallel with official programs that seek to transform

Reproductive injustice is an urgent global problem. We are faced with the increased criminalization of abortion, higher maternal and neonatal mortality rates for people of color, and more and more research addressing the structural nature of obstetric violence. In this collection of essays, the cause of reproductive injustice is understood as the institutionalized isolation of (potentially) pregnant people, making them vulnerable for bio- and necropolitical disciplination and control. The central thesis of this book is that reproductive justice must be achieved through a radical reappropriatio

Abstract:

This chapter explores the reconstitution of the gendered state after crisis and conflict. It locates gender politics in the often-competing discourses of “crisis and urgency” and “renewal and opportunity” that are often influential in the processes of state-making in this context. This is demonstrated through the case study of Aceh, Indonesia. In the wake of a three-decade-long conflict and in the aftermath of the devastating 2005 Indian Ocean tsunami, Aceh established a peace with the Indonesian state and began a process of developing a semiautonomous state.

The last-minute decision to reprieve the opera buffa left Da Ponte needing to recruit singers as a matter of urgency.

A new run of Le nozze di Figaro was scheduled, although by the summer of 1789 Joseph II was too ill to attend.

This chapter concludes the book by discussing foreign policy, especially intervention, nation-building and foreign aid, in a world of weak states, asking if the state will persist as the central organizational unit of world politics, and speculating about the possibilities for alternatives to the state. While states will persist, they will not compel the sacrifices required to provide the services the population demands. It is thus urgent to understand alternatives to the state as necessary both as complements to the state, providing services where the state cannot, and as challenges to the st

In this setting, patients suitable for transplantation may select this treatment modality and potentially, especially if there is a living kidney donor, be transplanted before the need for dialysis. Other patients may choose between dialysis modalities, between home and in-centre treatment,

The book as a whole maps out possibilities for thinking phenomenologically about politics without a sole focus on the state, turning instead toward contemporary human experience and existence.

A political economy of food is, somewhat ironically, especially dependent on politics of ideas. Food as commodity certainly exhibits familiar forces of contention in political economy—the relative weights of interests contesting boundaries between state and market—but generates a distinctive politics for interrelated reasons. First, the urgency of food provisioning reflects biological necessity, not mere preference. Consequently, production and distribution animate a politics of security, rights, and social justice, and thereby special potential for collective action and contentious politics.

This chapter explores the role of the state in the formation of public opinion. Both Smith and Rousseau recognized the urgency of this endeavor; both likewise recognized the threat that such a project could pose to personal liberty and popular sovereignty. However, while they framed the problem similarly, their responses to it differed in two ways. First, the stakes were greater for Rousseau: Without civic virtue, there could be no political freedom. For Smith, by contrast, moral turpitude did not automatically undermine the social fabric. The second difference—related to the first—lies in the

Abstract:

Scholars and policymakers, struggling to make sense of the ongoing chaos in the Middle East, have focused on the possible causes of the escalation in both inter-state and intra-state conflict. But the Arab Spring has shown the urgent need for new ways to frame difference, both practically and theoretically. For some, a fundamental incompatibility between different ethno-linguistic and religious communities lies at the root of these conflicts; these divisions are thought to impede any form of political resolution or social cohesion. But little work has been done to explore how these tensions ma

As school districts across the United States increasingly question the need for trained librarians, this collection of research-based evidence helps make the case for a state-licensed librarian in every school.

This collection is the result. It brings together school library research studies and findings from the past decade and draws connections to how they can be applied to situations and questions that o

Abstract:

In the 1940s, the issues of immigration, land, and identity gained an urgency that had never been witnessed before. Under the different ministries led by Syed Muhammad Saadulla, immigration of Muslim peasants from East Bengal received a new impetus from the 1930s onwards, and the issue of land became a contentious one. Following the All India Muslim League’s Lahore Resolution of 1940, the issue of immigration acquired grave political overtones and became inextricably linked with the question of land and the identity of the indigenous Assamese and tribal populations.
