Extending the Protection of Geographical Indications Case Studies of Agricultural Products in Africa

Extending the Protection of Geographical Indications Case Studies of Agricultural Products in Africa

The TRIPS Agreement (for trade-related intellectual property rights) provides for the general protection of geographical indications (GIs) of product origin including for example the special protection of wines and spirits and for the creation of a multilateral register for wines. The African Group of countries has been in the forefront of countries agitating in the World Trade Organization TRIPS Council for the extension of this special protection and of the multilateral register to industries which are of interest to developing countries primarily agriculture. The so-called extension question is the central feature of the Doha Development Agenda at both the WTO and World Intellectual Property Organization. This book provides some empirical evidence and applied legal and economic reasoning to this debate. It provides both a general review of the key issues and a series of case studies from six Anglophone and four Francophone countries in Africa. These focus on major agricultural commodities such as coffee cotton cocoa and tea as well as more specific and local products such as Argan oil and Oku white honey. | Extending the Protection of Geographical Indications Case Studies of Agricultural Products in Africa

The Routledge Reviewer’s Guide to Mixed Methods Analysis

The Routledge Reviewer’s Guide to Mixed Methods Analysis is a groundbreaking edited book – the first devoted solely to mixed methods research analyses or mixed analyses. Each of the 30 seminal chapters authored by internationally renowned scholars provides a simple and practical introduction to a method of mixed analysis. Each chapter demonstrates how to conduct the analysis in easy-to-understand language. Many of the chapters present new topics that have never been written before and all chapters offer cutting-edge approaches to analysis. The book contains the following four sections: Part I Quantitative Approaches to Qualitative Data (e. g. factor analysis of text multidimensional scaling of qualitative data); Part II Qualitative Approaches to Quantitative Data (e. g. qualitizing data mixed methodological discourse analysis); Part III Inherently Mixed Analysis Approaches (e. g. qualitative comparative analysis mixed methods social network analysis social media analytics as mixed analysis GIS as mixed analysis); and Part IV Use of Software for Mixed Data Analysis (e. g. QDA Miner WordStat MAXQDA NVivo SPSS). The audience for this book includes (a) researchers evaluators and practitioners who conduct a variety of research projects and who are interested in using innovative analyses that will allow them to extract more from their data; (b) academics including faculty who would use this book in their scholarship as well as in their graduate-level courses and graduate students who need access to a comprehensive set of mixed analysis tools for their dissertations/theses and other research assignments and projects; and (c) computer-assisted data analysis software developers who are seeking additional mixed analyses to include within their software programs. Chapter 24 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www. taylorfrancis. com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4. 0 license.

Coal-Mining Women in Japan Heavy Burdens

Coal-Mining Women in Japan Heavy Burdens

In the years Bbetween the Meiji Restoration in 1868 and the beginning of the war mobilization boom in 1930 collieries in Europe and America embraced new technologies and had long since been excluded women from working underground. In Japan however mining women witnessed no significant changes in working practices over this period. The availability of the cheap and abundant labor of these women allowed the captains of the coal industry in Japan to avoid expensive investments in new machinery and sophisticated mining methods; instead they continued to intensely exploit workers and markets intensively making substantial profits without the burdens of extensive mechanization. This unique book explores the lives of the thousands of women who labored underground in Japan’s coal mines in the years 1868 to 1930. It examines their working lives their family lives their aspirations achievements and disappointments. Drawing heavily on interview material with the miners themselves W. Donald Burton combines translations of their stories with features of Japanese society at the time and coal mining technology. In doing so he presents a complex account of the women’s lives as well as providing a keen insight intoon gender relations and the industrial and labor history of Japan. Coal Mining Women in Japan will be welcomed by students and scholars of Japanese history gender studies and industrial history. | Coal-Mining Women in Japan Heavy Burdens

The Routledge Handbook of Mobilities

The Routledge Handbook of Mobilities

The 21st century seems to be on the move perhaps even more so than the last. With cheap travel and more than two billion cars projected worldwide for 2030. And yet all this mobility is happening incredibly unevenly at different paces and intensities with varying impacts and consequences to the extent that life on the move might be actually quite difficult to sustain environmentally socially and ethically. As a result 'mobility' has become a keyword of the social sciences; delineating a new domain of concepts approaches methodologies and techniques which seek to understand the character and quality of these trends. This Handbook explores and critically evaluates the debates approaches controversies and methodologies inherent to this rapidly expanding discipline. It brings together leading specialists from range of backgrounds and geographical regions to provide an authoritative and comprehensive overview of this field conveying cutting edge research in an accessible way whilst giving detailed grounding in the evolution of past debates on mobilities. It illustrates disciplinary trends and pathways from migration studies and transport history to communications research featuring methodological innovations and developments and conceptual histories - from feminist theory to tourist studies. It explores the dominant figures of mobility from children to soldiers and the mobility impaired; the disparate materialities of mobility such as flows of water and waste to the vectors of viruses; key infrastructures such as logistics systems to the informal services of megacity slums and the important mobility events around which our world turns; from going on vacation to the commute to the catastrophic disruption of mobility systems. The text is forward-thinking projecting the future of mobilities as they might be lived transformed and studied and possibly brought to an end. International in focus the book transcends disciplinary and national boundaries to explore mobilities as they are understood from different perspectives different fields countries and standpoints. This is an invaluable resource for all those with an interest in mobility across disciplinary boundaries and areas of study. | The Routledge Handbook of Mobilities
