Abstract

Cet ouvrage compare l'expérience de la gestion de l'environnement dans cinq pays asiatiques dont les performances économiques sont remarquables : le Japon, la Corée, Taiwan, la Thaïlande et l'Indonésie. La rapidité de la croissance économique a lourdement pesé sur l'environnement, mais les gouvernements de ces pays se sont employés avec un certain succès à limiter les dommages écologiques grâce à une combinaison d'investissements publics, de réglementations et de sanctions administratives. Cependant, la pollution automobile et les déchets dangereux continuent à poser de graves problèmes. Des méthodes originales de réduction de la pollution, telles que la conclusion d'accords volontaires, ont donné quelques résultats et les instruments économiques retiennent de plus en plus l'attention. Les coûts élevés de dépollution que subissent ces pays font ressortir la nécessité de s'attacher davantage aux mesures préventives, d'élaborer des systèmes de financement novateurs et de profiter des nouveaux moyens moins coûteux pour limiter la pollution.

Abstract

Abydos is one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt, the burial place of the first kings of Egypt, and a cult center of Osiris, god of the underworld and judge of the dead. Past archaeological finds in Abydos include the oldest surviving boats in the world, the earliest indications of writing in Egypt, and a number of temples and tombs, many of which predate the first pyramids at Saqqara.

Abstract

Although vast and complex, the universe is orderly in many ways, and conditions at its beginning were right for the eventual evolution of life on this planet. But with life there is death, and with sentient life there is great pain and suffering, often with no apparent justification or purpose. Taking these things together, is it reasonable to conclude that the universe was brought about by God? Moreover, does the magnitude of seemingly pointless suffering square with the idea that God exists, or is it good reason to think there is no God? These questions come up for many people, not just religious believers, and are examined in this engaging and thought-provoking book. Starting out with no pre-disposition to theism, atheism, or agnosticism, God, Evil, and Design takes up these questions in order to see where an impartial investigation leads. To achieve impartiality, the reader is invited to simulate ignorance insofar as his or her own religious preference is concerned. With this approach, God, Evil, and Design provides both a fresh look at important and controversial issues in philosophy and an excellent introduction to the contemporary debates surrounding them. Lively and non-technical, this book will be accessible to anyone with an interest in these topics.

Abstract

Apart from size of population and GDP, China and Viet Nam have a good deal in common. Both are economies in transition from socialist central planning to the market. Both were largely agrarian societies on the eve of their reforms and, in both, unleashing the productive forces of agriculture was an important early reform result. Indeed, a rapid improvement in rural living standards is among the outstanding achievements of both countries. In the case of industrial development, the differences in their post-reform experience are more striking than the similarities. In both countries, industry has grown rapidly since reforms, much more rapidly on average than agriculture. Yet, the motor force of industrial growth has been different in the two countries. In China, rural township and village enterprises (TVEs) — first collectively and more recently privately owned — have led industrial growth, with state enterprises lagging far behind. In Viet Nam, growth has been comparable in state ...
