Karim Mezran, "The MENA Region: A Great Power Competition "
English | ISBN: 8855260715 | 2019 | 172 pages | EPUB | 281 KB
The volume deals with competition among regional and external players for the redistribution of power and international status in the Middle East and North Africa, with a focus on Russia's renewed role and the implications for US interests. Over the last few years, a crisis of legitimacy has beset the liberal international order. In this context, the configuration of regional orders has come into question, as in the extreme case of the current collapse in the Middle East. The idea of a "Russian resurgence" in the Middle East set against a perceived American withdrawal has captured the attention of policymakers and scholars alike, warranting further examination. This volume, a joint publication by ISPI and the Atlantic Council, gathers analysis on Washington's and Moscow's policy choices in the MENA region and develops case studies of the two powers' engagament in the countries beset by major crises.

IDEO, Jane Fulton Suri, "The Little Book of Design Research Ethics"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 0578163039 | PDF | pages: 55 | 0.7 mb
For human-centered designers, there is nothing more valuable than discovering what matters to people-what triggers frustration and what provides ease, what brings grief and what sparks joy. That's why IDEO studies subtle and often unspoken details of daily life: habits, circumstances, thoughts, feelings, and reactions. We rely upon access to people's unguarded selves. Their trust is precious, and comes with responsibility. How do we seek and share insights about people's lives in an ethical way? Three timeless principles guide all our work: respect, honesty, and responsibility. While the concepts are well known, they're abstractions that resist concrete definition, and applying them to the ambiguities, complexities, and messy scenarios of real life is no simple task. The Little Book of Design Research Ethics provides a practical guideline, along with tools and examples from our work in the field. It integrates more than a quarter-century of IDEO experience with advice and recommendations from ethicists as well as codes of conduct in related professions, from journalism to market research. Though it was originally created for IDEO designers, the book offers applicable guidance to a wide range of situations in which it's crucial to build relationships of trust. It's the first of its kind, and we hope it will facilitate ongoing conversation and reflection about what it means to work with empathy and cultural sensitivity and ensure that interactions are safe, fair, enjoyable, and mutually beneficial.
Norwegian Church Aid, "The Link between Masculinity, Alcohol and HIV/Aids in Malawi"
English | 2016 | pages: 94 | ISBN: 9996096882 | PDF | 1,0 mb
It is common knowledge that HIV is widespread in Malawi as it is in many other countries of Southern Africa. It is also a well-known fact that women suffer most and frequently are blamed the most. Many attempts are being made to address the pandemic and reduce the suffering, and often women are the focus. This book differs in that it looks at the other side, men. It contends that men have to play a major role in the fight, not only by changing behaviour but also by understanding concepts of masculinity and that women may also profit from that.
