India Infrastructure Report 2012 Private Sector in Education

India Infrastructure Report 2012 Private Sector in Education

Today India�s education sector remains a victim of poor policies restrictive regulations and orthodoxy. Despite being enrolled in schools children are not learning adequately. Increasingly parents are seeking alternatives through private inputs in school and tuition. Students are dropping out from secondary school in spite of high financial returns of secondary education and those who do complete it have inferior conceptual knowledge. Higher education is over-regulated and under-governed keeping away serious private providers and reputed global institutes. Graduates from high schools colleges and universities are not readily employable and few are willing to pay for skill development. Ironically the Right to Education Act if strictly enforced will result in closure of thousands of non-state schools and millions of poor children will be left without access to education. Eleventh in the series India Infrastructure Report 2012 discusses challenges in the education sector � elementary secondary higher and vocational � and explores strategies for constructive change and opportunities for the private sector. It suggests that immediate steps are required to reform the sector to reap the benefits from India�s �demographic dividend� due to a rise in the working age population. Result of a collective effort led by the IDFC Foundation this Report brings together a range of perspectives from academics researchers and practitioners committed to enhancing educational practices. It will be an invaluable resource for policymakers researchers and corporates. | India Infrastructure Report 2012 Private Sector in Education

Between Coercion and Private Initiative Entrepreneurial Freedom of Action during the ‘Third Reich’

Between Coercion and Private Initiative Entrepreneurial Freedom of Action during the ‘Third Reich’

This book explores the extent of private companies’ freedom of action during the Nazi period through six case studies of different economic sectors. Since the mid-1990s historical research has intensively discussed the role played by private domestic and foreign enterprises during the ‘Third Reich’. Numerous case studies suggest that even under the extreme ideological circumstances of the ‘Third Reich’ the strategic decisions of private firms followed economic criteria. In fact the regime was especially able to control the economy successfully in those cases in which it operated with economic incentives and gave companies room for manoeuvre. This scope however became increasingly smaller towards the end of the war due to increasing state intervention and government control. The chapters discuss this scope of action and relate it to the National Socialist crimes. This book was originally published as a special issue of Business History. | Between Coercion and Private Initiative Entrepreneurial Freedom of Action during the ‘Third Reich’

Counselling Children and Young People in Private Practice A Practical Guide

Counselling Children and Young People in Private Practice A Practical Guide

With statutory CAMHS services often heavily oversubscribed and school and college services mainly offering brief therapeutic interventions parents are increasingly turning to private practitioners for therapy for their children when they need expert emotional or psychological support. Working privately with children and families can be a rewarding experience for counsellors and psychotherapists but it can also be fraught with concerns for both practitioners and families alike. These concerns can seem so daunting that therapists with clinical experience of therapy with children continue to limit themselves to working only in education or statutory settings. This book offers comprehensive guidance to both experienced and novice counsellors to assist them in the process of setting up or adapting their private practice to include children and young people. It coherently and systematically addresses the obstacles which stand in the way of practitioners offering this important service effectively and ethically. The book is divided into four parts and uses case material to bring to life the areas covered by each chapter. Each chapter concludes with a summary of key points covered. | Counselling Children and Young People in Private Practice A Practical Guide

In this volume the author guides us through practicalities of setting up and maintaining a private practice and addresses the tensions and problems faced by the practitioner trying to both provide care and run an effective business.

Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy in the 21st Century A Public – Private Partnership

Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy in the 21st Century A Public – Private Partnership

Brazil’s growing dependence on agriculture has positioned agribusiness in a uniquely privileged position to influence Brazilian foreign policy. Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy in the 21st Century examines how the inclusion of domestic “national champions” in foreign policy has shaped events within key global governance arenas. Starting with an explanation of the structural economic importance of agriculture within the Brazilian economy Niels Søndergaard tells the story of agribusiness’ participation in foreign policy and how this Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy has unfolded in recent decades. Expanding on his extensive archival research undertaken in the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and interviews with key figures Søndergaard analyzes decision-making processes in multilateral trade negotiations WTO dispute settlement joint lobbying transnational multistakeholder governance bilateral interactions and within the agriculture–climate nexus. These case studies show how a clear convergence of interests close coordination resource pooling and coalition formation as part of this “public–private partnership” has produced impactful results within the wider global governance landscape and how key goals of agricultural diplomacy have been internalized by actors in the foreign policymaking process. Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy in the 21st Century is suitable for scholars and researchers studying developing economies in global governance power transitions and multilateralism food and climate politics and domestic interests in foreign policy. | Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy in the 21st Century A Public – Private Partnership

Democracy Religion and Commerce Private Markets and the Public Regulation of Religion

Democracy Religion and Commerce Private Markets and the Public Regulation of Religion

This collection considers the relationship between religion state and market. In so doing it also illustrates that the market is a powerful site for the cultural work of secularizing religious conflict. Though expressed as a simile with religious freedom functioning like market freedom “free market religion” has achieved the status of general knowledge about the nature of religion as either good or bad. It legislates good religion as that which operates according to free market principles: it is private with no formal relationship to government; and personal: a matter of belief and conscience. As naturalized elements of historically contingent and discursively maintained beliefs about religion these criteria have ethical and regulatory force. Thus in culture and law the effect of the metaphor has become instrumental not merely descriptive. This volume seeks to productively complicate and invite further analysis of this easy conflation of democracy religion and the market. It invites scholars from a variety of disciplines to consider more intentionally the extent to which markets are implicated and illuminate the place of religion in public life. The book will be a valuable resource for researchers and academics working in the areas of law and religion ethics and economics. | Democracy Religion and Commerce Private Markets and the Public Regulation of Religion

Cybersecurity Public Policy SWOT Analysis Conducted on 43 Countries

Cybersecurity Public Policy SWOT Analysis Conducted on 43 Countries

Since 2000 many governments parliaments and ministries have worked diligently to define effective guidelines that safeguard both public and private sector information systems as well as information assets from unwanted cyberattacks and unauthorized system intrusion. While some countries manage successful cybersecurity public policies that undergo modification and revision annually other countries struggle to define such policies effectively because cybersecurity is not a priority within their country. For countries that have begun to define cybersecurity public policy there remains a need to stay current with trends in cyber defense and information system security information not necessarily readily available for all countries. This research evaluates 43 countries' cybersecurity public policy utilizing a SWOT analysis; Afghanistan Australia Bermuda Canada Chili Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Dubai Egypt Estonia European Union Finland Gambia Germany Greece Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Japan Kenya Kosovo Kuwait Luxemburg Malaysia Nepal Netherlands New Zealand Norway Poland Samoa Singapore Slovakia South Africa Sweden Switzerland Thailand Trinidad Uganda United Arab Emirates United Kingdom and Vietnam; to transparently discuss the strengths weaknesses opportunities and threats encompassing each of these 43 countries' cybersecurity public policies. The primary vision for this title is to create an educational resource that benefits both the public and the private sectors. Without clarity on cybersecurity public policy there remains a gap in understanding how to meet these needs worldwide. Furthermore while more than 43 countries have already enacted cybersecurity public policy many countries neglect translating their policy into English; this impacts the ability of all countries to communicate clearly and collaborate harmoniously on this subject matter. This book works to fill the “gap” stop the spread of misinformation and become the gateway to understanding what approaches can best serve the needs of both public and private sectors. Its goals include educating the public and in partnership with governments parliaments ministries and cybersecurity public policy analysts helping mitigate vulnerabilities currently woven into public and private sector information systems software hardware and web interface applications relied upon for daily business activities. | Cybersecurity Public Policy SWOT Analysis Conducted on 43 Countries

The Privacy of the Self

The Privacy of the Self

The Privacy of the Self was the first collection of papers showing the development of the author's thinking over twenty five years of clinical work. He was nurtured in the tradition of Anna Freud John Rickman and D. W. Winnicott but his contribution to psychoanalytic literature was a distinctive and personal one. What emerges from this book is the natural and private crystallization of his experiences with his patients and teachers. As he says in his preface: Psychoanalysis is an extremely private discipline of sensibility and skill. The practice of psychoanalysis multiplies this privacy into a specialized relationship between two persons who through the very nature of their exclusivity with each other change each other. The first thing I wish to say about my work reported in these papers is that my patients have helped me become and personalize my potential of thought affectivity and effort into a way of life that I find deeply satisfying.

Democracy – The God That Failed The Economics and Politics of Monarchy Democracy and Natural Order

Democracy – The God That Failed The Economics and Politics of Monarchy Democracy and Natural Order

The core of this book is a systematic treatment of the historic transformation of the West from monarchy to democracy. Revisionist in nature it reaches the conclusion that monarchy is a lesser evil than democracy but outlines deficiencies in both. Its methodology is axiomatic-deductive allowing the writer to derive economic and sociological theorems and then apply them to interpret historical events. A compelling chapter on time preference describes the progress of civilization as lowering time preferences as capital structure is built and explains how the interaction between people can lower time all around with interesting parallels to the Ricardian Law of Association. By focusing on this transformation the author is able to interpret many historical phenomena such as rising levels of crime degeneration of standards of conduct and morality and the growth of the mega-state. In underscoring the deficiencies of both monarchy and democracy the author demonstrates how these systems are both inferior to a natural order based on private-property. Hoppe deconstructs the classical liberal belief in the possibility of limited government and calls for an alignment of conservatism and libertarianism as natural allies with common goals. He defends the proper role of the production of defense as undertaken by insurance companies on a free market and describes the emergence of private law among competing insurers. Having established a natural order as superior on utilitarian grounds the author goes on to assess the prospects for achieving a natural order. Informed by his analysis of the deficiencies of social democracy and armed with the social theory of legitimation he forsees secession as the likely future of the US and Europe resulting in a multitude of region and city-states. This book complements the author's previous work defending the ethics of private property and natural order.
