Review Responding to Human Rights Violations, 1946-1999 (International Studies in Human Rights) (International Studies in Human Rights) / Springer:This volume maps out the response of states to human rights violations over the period 1946-1999 and offers a complete record for this period. Its starting point is that such responses are not established and accepted state practice. Traditional, if unwritten, norms of states' behaviour developed through centuries of silence and inaction; the prevalent reaction to human rights violations by another state remains the absence of any response. Furthermore, this book probes into evidence of active and passive complicity by reviewing aid to countries in which violations have been taking place and diplomatic initiatives undertaken to shield violators from public opprobrium. Since international law is generated through state practice, the book highlights the ongoing tussle between the pre-1946 heritage of silence and inaction and the 1946-1999 haphazard pattern of responses to violations.

Review Japanese Immigrant Entrepreneurs in New York City: A New Wave of Ethnic Business (Studies in Entrepreneurship) / Routledge:This book examines the entrepreneurial activities of contemporary Japanese immigrants in New York to determine what makes their pattern of business so unique. Existing theories of immigrant entrepreneurship focus on a specific mode of business characterized by entrepreneurs who come to the U. S. in a chain-like pattern, make intensive use of cheap co-ethnic labor, and grow rapidly through horizontal and/or vertical integration. This study shows that Japanese immigrant businesses do not fit this model because their advantaged national origin no longer requires such strategies. The author finds that most Japanese entrepreneurs come to the U. S. as independent adults, rather than as part of chain migration. They receive occupational training through education institutions and formal employment, then move into business ownership as realization of long-term career goals. These entrepreneurs do use ethnic resources to gain access to customers, business contacts, finances and employees, but they also make liberal use of non-ethnic resources, and there is no evidence of the use of a traditional informal banking system. [+]The study finds that the business typology constructed by the ethnic origin of products and customers is useful for predicting the use of ethnic and non-ethnic resources, as well as for measuring the level of assimilation of the business owner. Also includes maps. (Ph. D. dissertation, SUNY Albany, 1996; revised with new preface).

Review World Atlas of Atmospheric Pollution (Anthem Atlas and Reference) / Anthem Press:Air pollution affects us all in a number of crucial ways, causing lasting damage to our health and our environment. Whereas primary pollution can result from local activities, the extent of the impact can be felt at spatial scales from the individual up to the whole planet, and temporal scales from minutes to decades. Consequently, pollution of our atmosphere remains a critical concern, warranting continued scientific investigation and the development of effective local and global solutions. The World Atlas of Atmospheric Pollution clearly and engagingly summarises current understanding of the state of air pollution on city to global scales. Using high-quality graphical illustrations, the Atlas begins with a historical perspective before addressing topics such as urban and global air pollution, long-range transmission of pollution, ozone depletion and the impacts of air pollution, as well as future trends. Each chapter provides an introduction to the topic and graphical representations of the spatial and temporal distributions of air pollutants. Wherever possible, the chapters give a world-wide view of the state of our atmosphere. The illustrations are supported by explanations and other background material, allowing the reader to gain an informed insight into emission sources, the resulting atmospheric concentrations of key pollutants and their associated impacts.
