The "migration-displacement nexus" is a new concept intended to capture the complex and dynamic interactions between voluntary and forced migration, both internally and internationally. Besides elaborating a new concept, this volume has three main purposes: the first is to focus empirical attention on previously understudied topics, such as internal trafficking and the displacement of foreign nationals, using case studies including Afghanistan and Iraq; the second is to highlight new challenges, including urban displacement and the effects of climate change; and the third is to explore gaps in current policy responses and elaborate alternatives for the future.

Feminist Discourse and Spanish Cinema provides the first detailed consideration of women directors working before the Civil War and during Franco's dictatorship, and is the first to explore the impact of feminism on filmmaking in Spain.

Whether it is the stranding of tens of thousands of migrant workers at the Libyan-Tunisian border, or the large-scale displacement triggered by floods in Pakistan and Colombia, hardly a week goes by in which humanitarian crises have not precipitated human movement. While some people move internally, others internationally, some temporarily and others permanently, there are also those who become "trapped" in place, unable to move to greater safety. Responses to these "crisis migrations" are varied and inadequate. Only a fraction of "crisis migrants" are protected by existing international, regional or national law. Even where law exists, practice does not necessarily guarantee safety and security for those who are forced to move or remain trapped. Improvements are desperately needed to ensure more consistent and effective responses. This timely book brings together leading experts from multi-disciplinary backgrounds to reflect on diverse humanitarian crises and to shed light on a series of exploratory questions: In what ways do people move in the face of crisis situations? Why do some people move, while others do not? Where do people move? When do people move, and for how long? What are the challenges and opportunities in providing protection to crisis migrants? How might we formulate appropriate responses and sustainable solutions, and upon what factors should these depend? This volume is divided into four parts, with an introductory section outlining the parameters of "crisis migration," conceptualizing the term and evaluating its utility. This section also explores the legal, policy and institutional architecture upon which current responses are based. Part II presents a diverse set of case studies, from the earthquake in Haiti and the widespread violence in Mexico, to the ongoing exodus from Somalia, and environmental degradation in Alaska and the Carteret Islands, among others. Part III focuses on populations that may be at particular risk, including non-citizens, migrants at sea, those displaced to urban areas, and trapped populations. The concluding section maps the global governance of crisis migration and highlights gaps in current provisions for crisis-related movement across multiple levels. This valuable book brings together previously diffuse research and policy issues under the analytical umbrella of "crisis migration." It lays the foundations for assessing and addressing real challenges to the status quo, and will be of interest to scholars, policy makers, and practitioners committed to seeking out improved responses and ensuring the dignity and safety of millions who move in the context of humanitarian crises.

This book explores from a new perspective the fraught processes of Spaniards' efforts to formulate a national identity, from the Enlightenment to the present day. Focusing on the nation's Islamic-African legacy, Susan Martin-Marquez disputes received wisdom that Spain has consistently rejected its historical relationship to Muslims and Africans. Instead, she argues, Spaniards have sometimes denied and sometimes embraced this legacy, and that vacillation has served to destabilize presumably fixed borders between Europe and the Muslim world and between Europe and Africa. Martin-Marquez analyzes a wealth of texts produced by Spaniards as well as by Africans and Afro-Spaniards from the early nineteenth century forward. She illuminates the complexities and disorientations of Spanish identity and shows how its evolution has important implications for current debates not only in Spanish culture but also in other countries involved in negotiating a modern identity.

Henri Nouwen's timeless wisdom reminds us once again of the transformation that love brings, both when we allow ourselves to give love with abandon and when we allow ourselves to receive love. Caregiving too often is reduced to a list of tasks-doing the things that another individual cannot do independently. In six weeks of daily devotions inspired by the words of Henri Nouwen and intertwined with Scripture and prayer, Hope for Caregivers summons us away from our lists for a few moments each day and draws us to a fresh framework for the experience of giving care.

Wissenschaftlicher Aufsatz aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich BWL - Rechnungswesen, Bilanzierung, Steuern, Note: 1,3, - (WHZ), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Seit 2005 sind kapitalmarktorientierte Unternehmen in Europa durch die Verordnung der EU-Kommission verpflichtet ihren Konzernabschluss nach IFRS aufzustellen. Fur andere Unternehmen besteht ein Wahlrecht einen IFRS-Abschluss aufzustellen. Deutschland setzte die EU-Verordnung durch das BilReG im Jahr 2004 um und verankerte die Vorschriften im HGB. Somit konnen an einer Borse gelistete Unternehmen die IFRS wahlweise auch auf ihren Einzelabschluss anwenden. Allen anderen Unternehmen steht es frei, ihre Konzern- und Einzelabschlusse nach internationalen Rechnungslegungsformen aufzustellen. In Bezug auf die praktische Anwendung fur die Unternehmen stellt sich daher die Frage nach den Auswirkungen der IFRS-Rechnungslegung fur die Bilanzpolitik. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, vor dem Hintergrund der veranderten Rahmenbedingungen fur die Rechnungslegungspraxis in Deutschland, die Bedeutung der IFRS fur die Bilanzpolitik deutscher Unternehmen herauszuarbeiten. Im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung steht dabei die Anwendung der IFRS in Deuschland und die Unterschiede der Bilanzierung nach HGB sowie die bilanzpolitischen Ziele, Zielkonflikte sowie Instrumente. Des Weiteren wird auf die bilanzpolitischen Gestaltungsmoglichkeiten einzelner Bilanzpositionen von IFRS-Abschlussen naher eingegangen. Abschliessend werden die erlangten Kenntnisse zu einem Ergebnis zusammengefasst und ein moglicher Ausblick gezeigt
