The Global Gag Rule and Women's Reproductive Health Rhetoric Versus Reality

The Global Gag Rule and Women's Reproductive Health Rhetoric Versus Reality
Yana van der Meulen Rodgers, "The Global Gag Rule and Women's Reproductive Health: Rhetoric Versus Reality"
English | ISBN: 0190876123 | 2018 | 232 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Foreign assistance by the United States is tangled with domestic politics, and perhaps this is most clear in relation to funding for health and family planning. The long arm of U.S. domestic politics has reached the intimate lives of women all over the world because it has threatened major cuts in funding to healthcare organizations in developing countries if they perform or promote abortions. This "global gag rule," so-called because to even mention abortion endangers funding, has been a hallmark of Republican administrations since it was first enacted by President Ronald Reagan. When Donald Trump reinstated and expanded the policy, there was popular uproar and a firestorm of debate. Proponents of the policy emphasize the importance of reducing the number of abortions globally and claim that the gag rule will be effective in achieving this goal.

The Foundations of Worldwide Economic Integration Power, Institutions, and Global Markets, 1850-1930

The Foundations of Worldwide Economic Integration Power, Institutions, and Global Markets, 1850-1930
Niels P. Petersson, "The Foundations of Worldwide Economic Integration: Power, Institutions, and Global Markets, 1850-1930 "
English | ISBN: 1107030153 | 2013 | 292 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The essays in this volume discuss the worldwide economic integration between 1850 and 1930, challenging the popular description of the period after 1918 as one of mere deglobalisation. The authors posit that markets were not only places of material exchange, but also socially structured entities, shaped by the agency of individual actors and by complex structures of political and economic power. Economic transactions were supported by an array of different institutions, ranging from formalized regulations to informal relations of personal trust. They argue that these networks were strong enough to prosper even through and after World War I, in a political climate often hostile to foreign trade. The Foundations of Worldwide Economic Integration shows that institutionalism altered its shape in the face of circumstances that increasingly challenged international trade. By presenting case studies from various countries, this book offers a fresh perspective on crucial periods of economic globalisation.

The Contemporary Museum Shaping Museums for the Global Now

The Contemporary Museum Shaping Museums for the Global Now
The Contemporary Museum: Shaping Museums for the Global Now By Simon Knell (editor)
2018 | 250 Pages | ISBN: 081536492X | PDF | 35 MB
The Contemporary Museum issues a challenge to those who view the museum as an artefact of history, constrained in its outlook as much by professional, institutional and disciplinary creed, as by the collections it accumulated in the distant past. Denying that the museum can locate its purpose in the pursuit of tradition or in idealistic speculation about the future, the book asserts that this can only be found through an ongoing and proactive negotiation with the present: the contemporary. This volume is not concerned with any present, but with the peculiar circumstances of what it refers to as the 'global contemporary' - the sense of living in a globally connected world that is preoccupied with the contemporary. To situate the museum in this world of real and immediate need and action, beyond the reach of history, the book argues, is to empower it to challenge existing dogmas and inequalities and sweep aside old hierarchies. As a result, fundamental questions need to be asked about such things as the museum's relationship to global time and space, to systems and technologies of knowing, to 'the life well lived', to the movement and rights of people, and to the psychology, permanence and organisation of culture. Incorporating diverse viewpoints from around the world, The Contemporary Museum is a follow-up volume to Museum Revolutions and, as such, should be essential reading for students in the fields of museum and heritage studies, cultural studies, communication and media studies, art history and social policy. Academics and museum professionals will also find this book a source of inspiration.
