Trade and environment in the EU and WTO: legitimacy, proportionality and institutional power play
No full textThe relationship between trade and environment is complex. Notwithstanding that these interests are fundamentally interdependent, the Court of Justice (Court) and WTO Appellate Body (AB) have both had to balance trade liberalisation and environmental protection, typically in cases involving a challenge to trade-restrictive national environmental regulation, where setting aside such regulation would contribute to negative integration. Such judicial balancing raises legitimacy questions relating to three areas of tension: first, substantively, between trade liberalisation and environmental protection; secondly concerning the relationship between supra/international rules and national regulation; and thirdly, relating to a supra/international judicial body (potentially) setting aside a national regulator’s act. The ongoing credibility of the EU and WTO is dependent upon mitigating these questions, an imperative intensified by the emergence of ‘popular globalisation scepticism’ in contemporary politics. Building upon recent scholarship on conceptualisations of legitimacy in international law, this paper first critically scrutinises the legitimacy questions arising from such judicial balancing, contextualising the problem in contemporary political events. Secondly, the respective roles of the Court and AB are examined, and the significance of the scope of their authority evaluated. Thirdly, the reasoning of the Court and AB is analysed. In conclusion, the political importance of the Court and AB’s language on proportionality and ‘weighing and balancing’, indicating sensitivity to national values, is highlighted. It is however recognised that to satisfy administrative due process, key to input legitimacy, the objective judicial analysis which underpins the Courts’ tests is crucial, and it is this which will contribute to output legitimacy

Human rights in the anthropocene, the sustainable development goals and the significance of SDG 17 ‘partnerships for the goals’
No full textThe recognition of the Anthropocene casts stark light upon the impact of human activity on our environment. In so doing, it frames the way in which we must now view and manage our relationship with the environment, creating an imperative that we adopt an approach that holds human and environmental interests and rights in balance. Without that, we leave the future of the planet and all its inhabitants in jeopardy. Part of this requires a reconsideration of how we approach the relationship between human rights and the environment

Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente, Florianópolis, 2009.O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar uma análise de como a imagem de Catherine é moldada pelo olhar masculino, como ela enfrenta os três tipos de olhar - o olhar dos personagens, o olhar do leitor, e o olhar do autor - e finalmente, se o olhar masculino é interrompido. O parâmetro teórico desta análise, o conceito do olhar masculino, é teorizado por Laura Mulvey no artigo "Prazer Visual e Cinema Narrativo" (1975) o qual critica a relação entre o olhar masculino e a imagem feminina do prazer visual moldado pela sociedade patriarcal. Através da crítica de Mulvey do prazer visual generizado em filmes, que pertence ao contexto do cinema clássico de Hollywood, articulo sua teoria em relação ao romance Wuthering Heights de Emily Brontë para examinar a dinâmica do olhar masculino em relação à personagem feminina Catherine. Este estudo teve também por objetivo analisar o quanto o paradigma teórico de Mulvey produzido para cinema poderia ser aplicado especificamente em um texto literário escrito no século XIX.The objective of this thesis is to present an analysis of whether Catherine's image has been shaped by the male gaze, how she contends with the three looks of the male gaze - the look of the characters, the look of the reader, and the look of the author - and finally, how the male gaze is broken. The theoretical parameter of this analysis, the concept of the male gaze, is theorized by Laura Mulvey in the article "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" (1975) which critiques the relation between the male gaze and the female image within the patriarchal molding of visual pleasure. Borrowing Mulvey's critique of the gendering of visual pleasure in films, which pertains to the context of classical Hollywood cinema, I have articulated her theory in relation to Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, to examine the dynamics of the male gaze regarding the female character, Catherine. This study also aimed at examing the extent to which Mulvey's theoretical paradigm produced for cinema could be articulated specifically in relation to a literary text written in the nineteenth century
The Benefits of Being Economics Professor A (and not Z)
Get PDFAlphabetic name ordering on multi-authored academic papers, which is the convention in the economics discipline and various other disciplines, is to the advantage of people whose last name initials are placed early in the alphabet. As it turns out, Professor A, who has been a first author more often than Professor Z, will have published more articles and experienced afaster growth rate over the course of her career as a result of reputation and visibility. Moreover, authors know that name ordering matters and indeed take ordering seriously: Several characteristics of an author group composition determine the decision to deviate from the default alphabetic name order to a significant extent.performance measurement, incentives, economists, name ordering
Queen of Calvary: Spirituality in Emily Dickinson
Get PDFMany books and essays on Emily Dickinson\u27s poetry have appeared in the last five years, and each approaches the question of spirituality divergently depending on the author\u27s dominant focus. Barbara Mossberg deals with Dickinson as dutiful and rebellious daughter; Jane Eberwein concentrates on strategies of limitation; Sandra Gilbert rehabilitates domesticity; and Vivian R. Pollak analyzes the anxiety of gender. The critics agree, however, that spirituality holds a central place in Dickinson\u27s poetry
An American Icon in Puerto Rico: Barbie, Girlhood, and Colonialism at Play
No full textSince her creation in 1959, Barbie has become an icon of femininity to girls all over the world. In this study, author Emily R. Aguiló-Pérez focuses on a group of multigenerational Puerto Rican women and girls, exploring how playing with Barbie dolls as children has impacted their lives.

Gender differences in self-reported late effects, quality of life and satisfaction with clinic in survivors of lymphoma
No full textObjectives: gender differences in perceived vulnerability to late effects and views about follow-up among cancer survivors have received little attention. As lymphoma affects both genders similarly, we compared the consequences of cancer (late effects, perceived vulnerability and quality of life (health-related quality of life (HRQoL)), and satisfaction with clinic visits between genders.Methods: a cohort of 115 younger adults (18–45 years, >5 years disease-free survival), who had been treated for lymphoma participated. Questionnaires (n = 91) were completed before and after (n = 62) routine consultant-led appointments. Survivors (n = 24) without appointments were recruited by post. Questionnaires included HRQoL, late effects, perceived vulnerability, issues survivors wanted to discuss and reported discussing in clinic, time waiting in clinic and consultation satisfaction.Results: there were no gender differences in number of self-reported late effects or perceived vulnerability. Men with more late effects reported worse psychological HRQoL (r = 0.50, p<0.001). While men wanted to discuss more topics than they did, women were able to discuss the topics they wanted (ANOVA, p = 0.01). Multiple regression analyses showed a shorter wait in clinic (r = ?0.46, p = 0.009) and discussing more topics (r = 0.34, p = 0.06) explained 30.6% of the variance in consultation satisfaction for men.Conclusions: issues surrounding follow-up provision are increasingly important given the length of survival in young adults following treatment for lymphoma. Men may experience poor psychological well-being due to distress about unanswered concerns. Consideration of their concerns should be prioritised, given that satisfaction and ultimately continued attendance at clinic and HRQoL may be dependent on the extent to which follow-up meets survivors' expectation
