Previous research has demonstrated considerable variation in how immigration judges decide seemingly similar cases, which implies a host of legal concerns-not the least of which is whether judicial bias is more determinative of the decision to admit those fleeing persecution to the United States than is the merit of the claim. These disparities also raise important policy considerations about how to fix what many perceive to be a broken adjudication system. ![]() Illuminated Paris: Essays on Art and Lighting in the Belle Époque by Hollis Clayson English | May 16, 2019 | ISBN: 022659386X | EPUB | 320 pages | 71.6 MB The City of Light. For many, these four words instantly conjure late nineteenth-century Paris and the garish colors of Toulouse-Lautrec's iconic posters. More recently, the Eiffel Tower's nightly show of sparkling electric lights has come to exemplify our fantasies of Parisian nightlife. Though we reflect longingly on such scenes, in Illuminated Paris, Hollis Clayson shows that there's more to these clichés than meets the eye. ![]() Barbara K. Gaines, "Idiomatic American English: A Step-by-Step Workbook for Learning Everyday American Expressions" English | ISBN: 0870117564 | | 128 pages | PDF | 7 MB [The following excerpt from the Introductiion gives a clear idea of the book's contents.] ![]() Manfred Nowak, "Human Rights or Global Capitalism: The Limits of Privatization " English | ISBN: 0812248759 | 2016 | 256 pages | PDF | 1067 KB Winner of the Best Book Award from the Human Rights Section of the American Political Science Association. The fall of communism in the late 1980s and the end of the Cold War seemed to signal a new international social order built on pluralist democracy, the rule of law, and universal human rights. But the window of opportunity for creating this more just, more equal, and more secure world slammed shut just as quickly as it opened. Rather than celebrate the triumph of democracy over autocracy, or political freedom over totalitarian rule, the West exulted in the victory of capitalism over communism. Neoliberal policies of deregulation and privatization that minimized the role of the state were imposed on the transitional societies of Central and Eastern Europe, as well as economically weak and politically fragile nations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Twenty-five years later, the world reaps the fruits of that market-driven state foundation: inequality; poverty; global economic, food, financial, social, and ecological crises; transnational organized crime and terrorism; proliferating weapons; fragile states. ![]() Jennifer Curtis, "Human Rights as War by Other Means: Peace Politics in Northern Ireland " English | ISBN: 0812246195 | 2014 | 304 pages | PDF | 7 MB Following the 1998 peace agreement in Northern Ireland, political violence has dramatically declined and the region has been promoted as a model for peacemaking. Human rights discourse has played an ongoing role in the process but not simply as the means to promote peace. The language can also become a weapon as it is appropriated and adapted by different interest groups to pursue social, economic, and political objectives. Indeed, as violence still periodically breaks out and some ethnocommunal and class-based divisions have deepened, it is clear that the progression from human rights violations to human rights protections is neither inevitable nor smooth. |
