Meghalaya, an overwhelmingly tribal majority State, is also the most mined state in the northeast. Largely unregulated, the mining has impacted the social, economic and environmental fabric of the regions subject to large scale mining. Land ownership is predominantly on customary and traditional lines that differ from tribe to tribe. Mining has put to strain, the communal governance of land portending more conflicts.

Statistical Approaches for Hidden Variables in Ecology

Statistical Approaches for Hidden Variables in Ecology
Statistical Approaches for Hidden Variables in Ecology by Nathalie Peyrard, Olivier Gimenez
English | March 15, 2022 | ISBN: 1789450470 | True EPUB/PDF | 256 pages | 12.7/12.6 MB
The study of ecological systems is often impeded by components that escape perfect observation, such as the trajectories of moving animals or the status of plant seed banks. These hidden components can be efficiently handled with statistical modeling by using hidden variables, which are often called latent variables. Notably, the hidden variables framework enables us to model an underlying interaction structure between variables (including random effects in regression models) and perform data clustering, which are useful tools in the analysis of ecological data.

State-Building and Tax Regimes in Central America

State-Building and Tax Regimes in Central America
Aaron Schneider, "State-Building and Tax Regimes in Central America"
English | 2017 | pages: 267 | ISBN: 1107454026, 1107019095 | PDF | 4,0 mb
In Central America, dynamic economic actors have inserted themselves into global markets. Elites atop these sectors attempt to advance a state-building project that will allow them to expand their activities and access political power, but they differ in their internal cohesion and their dominance with respect to other groups, especially previously constituted elites and popular sectors. Differences in resulting state-building patterns are expressed in the capacity to mobilize revenues from the most dynamic sectors in quantities sufficient to undertake public endeavors, and in a relatively universal fashion across sectors. Historical, quantitative, and qualitative detail on the five countries of Central America are followed by a focus on El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. The greatest changes have occurred in El Salvador, and Honduras has made some advances, although they are almost as quickly reversed by incentives, exemptions, and special arrangements for particular producers. Guatemala has raised revenues only marginally and failed to address problems of inequity across sectors and between rich and poor.

Stagnation and Drift in the Western Balkans The Challenges of Political, Economic and Social Change (Interdisciplinary Studies
Stagnation and Drift in the Western Balkans: The Challenges of Political, Economic and Social Change (Interdisciplinary Studies on Central and Eastern Europe) By Claire Gordon (editor), Marko Kmezic (editor), Jasmina Opardija-Susnjar (editor)
2013 | 325 Pages | ISBN: 3034311524 | PDF | 3 MB
This volume allows a new generation of scholars, from the Balkans and beyond, to shed light on some of the struggles the region faces. The combination of post-communist and post-conflict transition, together with the current economic and financial crisis, pose difficult challenges for the Western Balkans. What is the state of democracy in the region? Are the countries of the Western Balkans stuck somewhere between authoritarianism and genuine democracy? What are the remaining obstacles to state building? What effect has the crisis had on young people in the Western Balkans? These are some of the questions the authors of this volume seek to answer. The studies look at different countries and combine methods from various disciplines ranging from political science, history, economics and law to sociology, anthropology and cultural studies.
