Beschreibung

Corruption Erodes Gains meticulously examines how corruption undermines economic growth and sustainable development, challenging the notion that it merely "greases the wheels" of commerce. The book argues that graft systematically diminishes national wealth, spotlighting how inflated contract prices and misappropriated funds directly drain economies. Intriguingly, the book points out that corruption's indirect costs, such as reduced foreign investment and weakened institutions, can be even more damaging, especially in an era of increasing globalization.

 


 
The book takes a mixed-methods approach, starting by defining corruption and its theoretical impacts before presenting empirical evidence from sources like the Corruption Perception Index. Later chapters delve into sectors vulnerable to corruption, such as public procurement and natural resource management, illustrating how corruption directly reduces economic gains. It concludes with practical strategies for combating corruption, emphasizing transparency and accountability at both national and international levels.

    What is the purpose of art in a world on fire? In this exhilarating and deeply inspiring work, Amber Massie-Blomfield considers the work of artists, writers, musicians, and filmmakers—such as Gran Fury, Billie Holiday, Alexis Wright, Claude Cahun, Rick Lowe, and Joseph Beuys—alongside collectives, communities, and organizations that have used protest sites as their canvas and spearheaded political movements. From writer Ken Saro Wiwa combating oil pollution in Nigeria and Susan Sontag directing Waiting for Godot in besieged Sarajevo to the women stitching subversive patchworks in Pinochet's Chile and the artist-activists who blocked the building of a new airport in France, with stories drawn from environmentalism, feminism, anti-fascism, and other movements, Acts of Resistance brings together remarkable acts of creativity that have shifted history on its axis.

    Thelma & Louise, the 1991 film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, has been described as a road movie, a buddy movie, a feminist parable, and only incidentally as a Western. An Oscar winner for first-time screenwriter Callie Khouri, Thelma & Louise catalyzed a national conversation about women, violence, and self-determination in a Hollywood still shrugging off the West of John Wayne and in an America that still viewed women as accessories to the national mythology. 
     
     
     
    In this latest volume in the Reel West series, Susan Kollin recreates this watershed moment for women's movies in general and women's Westerns in particular.
