Politics and Exhaustion — with Asad Haider
No full textTheorist and author Asad Haider joins Below the Radar to discuss questions he explores in his book, Mistaken Identity: Race and Class in the Age of Trump. Asad discusses how class dynamics cannot be separated from identity-driven movements. As well, he explores ideas of political exhaustion in the tradition of political theorists such as Sylvain Lazarus and Alain Badiou. In this interview, Asad interrogates the role of identity in politics and how it has been taken up in discourse — complicating the relationship between race and class in a context that has been defined by capital interests. Asad and Am discuss theoretical questions around frameworks for political organizing and solidarity across movements. He also speaks to our current moment as one of political exhaustion, where it\u27s difficult to mobilize transformative political change

The Pilot-Judgment Procedure of the European Court of Human Rights.
No full textStructural human rights deficiencies in the member states of the European Convention of Human Rights have caused numerous individual applications to the European Court of Human Rights and are a considerable factor in the Court's persistent overload crisis. The Pilot-Judgment Procedure was devised to tackle these structural deficiencies and has become an important instrument of the Court. Dominik Haider examines to which extent the Pilot-Judgment Procedure is reconcilable with the European Convention on Human Rights. After an analysis of the member states' obligations to resolve structural deficiencies, the author asks if the European Court of Human Rights is empowered to take the procedural steps which are characteristic of the Pilot-Judgment Procedure. In particular, the Court's express orders are critically scrutinised

No full textAuthor: Najam Haider Date Published: July 2014 availability: Available format: Paperback isbn: 9781107424951 Description The Sunni-Shi'a schism is often framed as a dispute over the identity of the successor to Muhammad.

Through a critical analysis of legal texts, whose provenance has only recent..
Book Reviews: Development Economics – A New Paradigm By Syed Nawab Haider Naqvi
No full textThe book essentially revolves around a discussion on the implications and meaning of the word ‘paradigm’ seeking an alternative paradigm for development economics. It is amply apparent that development economics is not an academic discipline and its usefulness is on its way out to all intents and purposes. The author attempts to make a brave effort to rescue it by highlighting its relevance and importance in the current corpus of economic theory
Développement d’un outil d’évaluation de la performance municipale en gestion des matières résiduelles
No full textDe nos jours, la gestion des matières résiduelles constitue une part significative des finances publiques municipales et les tentatives d’améliorations ou de comparaison sont peu nombreuses. Il faut comprendre que dans la majorité des cas, les opérations, notamment pour ce qui est de la collecte et dans une certaine mesure pour le traitement, sont confiées à partir d’appels d’offres. En absence de données quantitatives comparatives entre les municipalités ou entre des compétiteurs, la valeur qualitative des services offerts est difficile de déterminer. Malheureusement, cette situation s’applique à un grand nombre de municipalités du Québec. À l’heure actuelle, aucune méthodologie de calcul n’existe sur l’évaluation comparative des coûts de la gestion des matières résiduelles. Dans le but d’adresser cette problématique, cet essai de maîtrise analyse la gestion des matières résiduelles résidentielles du secteur municipal sous l’angle des coûts afin de développer un outil d’évaluation de la performance comparatif et créer une échelle de performance comparative des municipalités du Québec. L’outil d’évaluation intègre les influences des variables de la population, du poids, du coût annuel de la gestion des matières résiduelles, du kilométrage de rues de la municipalité, et de la densité sur la performance de la gestion des matières résiduelles municipale. Cruciale à l’évaluation de la performance, la variable du coût annuel est élaborée en grand détail afin d’adresser la majorité des paramètres pouvant impacter le coût de la gestion des matières résiduelles. L’application de l’outil développer sur quatre municipalités a permis d’évaluer leurs performances, cibler les améliorations nécessaires, et comparer leurs performances aux autres municipalités du Québec. Des améliorations peuvent être apportées à l’outil d’évaluation de performance développé, notamment par l’intégration de données quantitatives plus récentes et une élaboration plus approfondie des coûts technologiques, opérationnels, et administratifs des opérations de traitement de la matière. Entre temps, cet outil peut être utilisé pour évaluer la valeur qualitative des services de la GMR offerts par les entreprises et concentrer les efforts aux aspects municipaux nécessitant une amélioration
