Unaccompanied Children in European Migration and Asylum Practices In Whose Best Interests?

Unaccompanied Children in European Migration and Asylum Practices In Whose Best Interests?

Unaccompanied minor migrants are underage migrants who for various reasons leave their country and are separated from their parents or legal/customary guardians. Some of them live entirely by themselves while others join their relatives or other adults in a foreign country. The concept of the best interests of a child is widely applied in international national legal documents and several guidelines and often pertains to unaccompanied minor migrants given that they are separated from parents who are not able to exercise their basic parental responsibilities. This book takes an in-depth look at the issues surrounding the best interests of the child in relation to unaccompanied minor migrants drawing on social legal and political sciences in order to understand children’s rights not only as a matter of positive law but mainly as a social practice depending on personal biographies community histories and social relations of power. The book tackles the interpretation of the rights of the child and the best interests principle in the case of unaccompanied minor migrants in Europe at political legal and practical levels. In its first part the book considers theoretical aspects of children’s rights and the best interests of the child in relation to unaccompanied minor migrants. Adopting a critical approach to the implementation of the Convention of Rights of a Child authors nevertheless confirm its relevance for protecting minor migrants’ rights in practice. Authors deconstruct power relations residing within the discourses of children’s rights and best interests demonstrating that these rights are constructed and decided upon by those in power who make decisions on behalf of those who do not possess authority. Authors further on explore normative and methodological aspects of Article 3 of the Convention on the Rights of a Child and its relevance for asylum and migration legislation. The second part of the book goes on to examine the actual legal framework related to unaccompanied minor migrants and implementation of children’s’ rights and their best interests in the reception protection asylum and return procedures. The case studies are based on from the empirical research on interviews with key experts and unaccompanied minor migrants in Austria France Slovenia and United Kingdom. Examining age assessment procedures unaccompanied minors’ survivals strategies and their everyday life in reception centres the contributors point to the discrepancy between the states’ obligations to take the best interest of the child into account when dealing with unaccompanied minor migrants and the lack of formal procedures of best interest determination in practice. The chapters expose weaknesses and failures of institutionalized systems in selected European countries in dealing with unaccompanied children and young people on the move. | Unaccompanied Children in European Migration and Asylum Practices In Whose Best Interests?

Validating a Best Practice A Tool for Improvement and Benchmarking

Validating a Best Practice A Tool for Improvement and Benchmarking

Sharing Best Practices across industries and functions is an accepted approach to continuous improvement. The Benchmarking trend of the 1990s has evolved with the help of competitive analysis performance excellence awards and other corporate recognition programs into an ongoing documentation of what works. Bob Camp introduced benchmarking against a Best Practice based on his work at Xerox in the 1980s. Case studies abound documenting Best Practice functions and processes. Some case studies use the words “Best Practice” without evidence that the process results or methods are indeed superior. What is missing is a comprehensive model for assessing and writing a Best Practice that provides sufficient information to use as an effective benchmark. This book provides that comprehensive model. Today’s consumers expect products and services to be of high quality reliable and user-friendly. This is the result of years of continuous improvement and innovation by producers. Although many organizations strive for excellent results there is still room for improvement. Unfortunately leaders don’t always have methods and tools to measure or assess that degree of excellence. If leaders could use a tool to discover how good their approaches and methods are and how excellent their achieved results are they could plan further improvements. The goal is to achieve excellent results. The tool described in this book guides leaders to achieve that excellence. | Validating a Best Practice A Tool for Improvement and Benchmarking

Why It's OK to Make Bad Choices

Why It's OK to Make Bad Choices

If we are kind people we care about others including others who tend to hurt themselves. We all have friends or family members who have potential but squander or even ruin their lives from things like drug abuse unwise spending decisions or poor dietary habits. Concern for others often motivates us to endorse laws or private interventions meant to keep people from harming themselves even if that’s what they want to do in the moment. However it is far from clear that such paternalistic measures are on net benign and they tend to violate an understanding that we should let adults make their own decisions. In this little book William Glod argues that it’s OK to allow people to make bad choices. It’s OK even if those choices risk causing a lot of harm. Most defenders of paternalism agree that some bad choices are not harmful enough to require laws to stop them. However Glod goes further. He argues that some people might want – and deserve – the freedom to make truly bad choices because such freedom is the only way they can act responsibly. He also argues that some bad choices may not even be bad even if we can't know with confidence a person's true desires. In addition the book explores choices that are bad because they might impose high monetary costs on others arguing that mandatory insurance may be a better solution than eliminating the choice. Finally it explores the potential pitfalls of paternalistic laws and policies – and how unintended costly consequences can sabotage the most well-intended plans. Key Features Introduces key concepts for understanding paternalism and freedom of choice for undergraduates and general readers Discusses how many of our preferences are not easily understood by others and shows how assumptions of what our true preferences can often backfire Explores ways in which people may want the freedom to make mistakes Examines the unintended consequences and associated problems of many paternalistic laws and regulations | Why It's OK to Make Bad Choices

How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

The goal of How to Make Maps is to equip readers with the foundational knowledge of concepts they need to conceive design and produce maps in a legible clear and coherent manner drawing from both classical and modern theory in cartography. This book is appropriate for graduate and undergraduate students who are beginning a course of study in geospatial sciences or who wish to begin producing their own maps. While the book assumes no a priori knowledge or experience with geospatial software it may also serve GIS analysts and technicians who wish to explore the principles of cartographic design. The first part of the book explores the key decisions behind every map with the aim of providing the reader with a solid foundation in fundamental cartography concepts. Chapters 1 through 3 review foundational mapping concepts and some of the decisions that are a part of every map. This is followed by a discussion of the guiding principles of cartographic design in Chapter 4—how to start thinking about putting a map together in an effective and legible form. Chapter 5 covers map projections the process of converting the curved earth’s surface into a flat representation appropriate for mapping. Chapters 6 and 7 discuss the use of text and color respectively. Chapter 8 reviews trends in modern cartography to summarize some of the ways the discipline is changing due to new forms of cartographic media that include 3D representations animated cartography and mobile cartography. Chapter 9 provides a literature review of the scholarship in cartography. The final component of the book shifts to applied technical concepts important to cartographic production covering data quality concepts and the acquisition of geospatial data sources (Chapter 10) and an overview of software applications particularly relevant to modern cartography production: GIS and graphics software (Chapter 11). Chapter 12 concludes the book with examples of real-world cartography projects discussing the planning data collection and design process that lead to the final map products. This book aspires to introduce readers to the foundational concepts—both theoretical and applied—they need to start the actual work of making maps. The accompanying website offers hands-on exercises to guide readers through the production of a map—from conception through to the final version—as well as PowerPoint slides that accompany the text. | How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

The Stigmatization of Conspiracy Theory since the 1950s A Plot to Make us Look Foolish

The Stigmatization of Conspiracy Theory since the 1950s A Plot to Make us Look Foolish

Are conspiracy theories everywhere and is everyone a conspiracy theorist? This ground-breaking study challenges some of the widely shared assessments in the scholarship about a perceived mainstreaming of conspiracy theory. It claims that conspiracy theory underwent a significant shift in status in the mid-20th century and has since then become highly visible as an object of concern in public debates. Providing an in-depth analysis of academic and media discourses Katharina Thalmann is the first scholar to systematically trace the history and process of the delegitimization of conspiracy theory. By reading a wide range of conspiracist accounts about three central events in American history from the 1950s to 1970s – the Great Red Scare the Kennedy assassination and the Watergate scandal – Thalmann shows that a veritable conspiracist subculture emerged in the 1970s as conspiracy theories were pushed out of the legitimate marketplace of ideas and conspiracy theory became a commodity not unlike pornography: alluring in its illegitimacy commonsensical and highly profitable. This will be of interest to scholars and researchers interested in American history culture and subcultures as well of course to those fascinated by conspiracies. | The Stigmatization of Conspiracy Theory since the 1950s A Plot to Make us Look Foolish

Trump and the Protestant Reaction to Make America Great Again

Trump and the Protestant Reaction to Make America Great Again

This book explores how polarised interpretations of America’s past influence the present and vice versa. A focus on competing Protestant reactions to President Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ slogan evidences a fundamental divide over how America should remember historical racism sexism and exploitation. Additionally these Protestants disagree over how the past influences present injustice and equality. The 2020 killing of George Floyd forced these rival histories into the open. Rowley proposes that recovering a complex view of the past confessing the bad and embracing the good might help Americans have a shared memory that can bridge polarisation and work to secure justice and equality. An accessible and timely book this is essential reading for those concerned with the vexed relationship of religion and politics in the United States including students and scholars in the fields of Protestantism history political science religious studies and sociology. | Trump and the Protestant Reaction to Make America Great Again
