State-Corporate Crime and the Commodification of Victimhood - The Toxic Legacy of Trafigura's Ship of Death (Paperback):... State-Corporate Crime and the Commodification of Victimhood - The Toxic Legacy of Trafigura's Ship of Death (Paperback)

R1,289 Discovery Miles 12 890 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book highlights the continuing impunity enjoyed by corporations for large scale crimes, and in particular the crime of toxic waste dumping in Ivory Coast in 2006. It provides an account of the crime, and outlines contributory reasons for the impunity both under the law and from a criminological point of view. Furthermore, the book reveals the retrogressive role of civil society organisations (CSOs) in Ivory coast, contrary to the societal expectations made of 'non-governmental' organisations (NGOs) and CSOs. This book reveals that in the case of this particular example of state-corporate crime, civil society as an agency of censure and sanction actually played a distinctly retrogressive role. Here, in fact, state and state-corporate crime facilitates corruption within the civil society sphere through a process referred to in the book as the 'commodification of victimhood' and, as a result, ensures that impunity is virtually guaranteed for the corporation and the Ivorian government. This book also examines the failure of international and domestic legal measures to sanction the perpetrators alongside civil society's shortcomings and ultimately advocates a more cautionary approach to civil society's potential to label, censure and sanction large-scale state-corporate crime. This book will help readers understand the difficulties in sanctioning such crime as well as promoting the theoretical framework of state crime, the understanding of which could lead to the alleviation of human suffering at the hands of criminal states and corporations.

Written over a span of 40 years these poems capture intimate feelings of the range of emotions we experience as we face life with fortitude, caring, and sometimes confusion. The topics range from the meaning of life and existence to love and hate, war and peace, beauty and ignorance. Science and critical thinking weave in and out of the web of topics and underpin much of the lessons and poetic conclusions expressed. Yet, the poems are a personal statement emerging from the normal experiences of living, loving and thinking. It is a commentary on the actions we humans take and the repercussion they have on those around us, as well as the far reaching effects of our society as we struggle to understand how to live in a not so perfect world. There are no answers, just suggestions and glimpses of possibilities, with lots of questions that frame our fragile environment both physical and emotional.

R381 Discovery Miles 3 810 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Set in pre-troubles Belfast, a boy leads a carefree life as he and his friends experience the thrill of growing up in the warm Irish society that preceded the onslaught of murder and mayhem. Told from the perspective of a working class protestant who escaped the trap of sectarian violence, these stories provide a view of life in earlier, more humane times, when dreams and desires could still be pursued without the pall of fear that spread over Ireland in later years.Spanning fifteen years from schoolboy to man, these stories provide an insight to the lighter side of Irish life in Belfast. A contrast to the harsh media portrayal of Ulster during the years of violent clashes in the late sixties and seventies.
