Japan and the US and Germany In the process Stigler and Hiebert discovered the extensive use of lesson study in Japanese primary schools as a schoolbased research method for securing consistency

McLuhan The current global village is manifested by the growing interconnectedness of economies which has enhanced the ability of states to interact economically politically and socially It operates in a way that seems to defy common definitions such as delimitations of national borders and states The global system has created shared synergies such as free movement of workers capital good and services However it has created varied challenges for individual states given that challenges in one part of the globe can easily navigate into the system to infest other countries including those that have nothing to do with its causes This dichotomy is highlighted by the debt crisis in the Eurozone member countries which has been simmering since but has recently bubbled to the surface by the

the growing interconnectedness of economies There are dualities in the global system manifested by the fact that developed countries are endowed with the means and therefore they have requisite

independently from crankshaft drive in both phase and speed Therefore preconditions for the following engine control strategies are given Controlling engine load via exhaust valves reduction of gas exchange loses setting up a cylinderselective decompression during engine starting process lowering the corresponding mechanical losses and the realization of hydraulic recuperation respectively West Saxon University of Applied Sciences in cooperation with industrial partners created a cylinder head concept using mass production parts for realizing a very high level of freedom in controlling the gas exchange of a combustion engine The paper presents the development of the system with focus on mechanical design as well as technical features Besides sophisticated cooling of the solenoids and the implementation of the hydraulic system the installation of a continuousundelayed valve measurement required for prohibiting collision between valves and piston as it may occur in direct valve trains has been conducted Towards this end an engine test stand using a current VW EA SI engine as the basis for the superimposed system was established The research is funded by government and

There is growing awareness that the necessary solutions for improving nutrition outcomes are multisectorial As such investments are increasingly directed toward nutritionsensitive approaches that not only address an underlying or basic determinant of nutrition but also seek to achieve an explicit nutrition goal or outcome Understanding how and where official development assistance ODA for nutrition is invested remains an important but complex challenge as development projects components vary in their application to nutrition outcomes Currently no systematic method exists for tracking nutritionsensitive ODA Objective To develop a methodology for classifying and tracking nutritionsensitive ODA and to produce estimates of the amount of nutritionsensitive aid received by countries with a high burden of undernutrition Methods We analyzed all financial flows reported to the Organization for Economic CoOperation and Development Development Assistance Committee Creditor Reporting Service in to estimate these investments We assessed the relationships between national stunting prevalence stunting burden under mortality and the amount of nutritionspecific and nutritionsensitive

nutritionsensitive spending A methodology and estimate of global spending for nutritionsensitive foreign aid","Background There is growing awareness that the necessary solutions for improving nutrition outcomes are multisectorial As such investments are increasingly directed toward nutritionsensitive approaches that not only address an underlying or basic determinant of nutrition but also seek to achieve an explicit nutrition goal or outcome Understanding how and where official development assistance ODA for nutrition is invested remains an important but complex challenge as development projects components vary in their application to nutrition outcomes Currently no systematic method exists for tracking nutritionsensitive ODA Objective To develop a methodology for classifying and tracking nutritionsensitive ODA and to produce estimates of the amount of nutritionsensitive aid received by countries with a high burden of undernutrition Methods We analyzed all financial flows reported to the Organization for Economic CoOperation and Development Development Assistance Committee Creditor Reporting Service in to estimate these investments We assessed the relationships between national stunting prevalence stunting burden under mortality and the amount of nutritionspecific and nutritionsensitive ODA Results We estimate that in a total of million M US

Arguably the politics of global development is at crossroads For example questions about environmental change cut deep at some foundational premises of development as conventionally conceived including mainstays such as the goal of high mass consumption Similarly struggles for indigenous rights or against race and gender inequalities in their different ways point to the problems and limitations of framing development exclusively or predominantly in material terms These struggles in their own ways also challenge the idea that development can be reduced to simplistic assumptions about economic growth and performance Instead they draw attention to complicated and unequal social relationships which people struggle against and negotiate It is precisely for such reasons that the politics of development make such an exciting and challenging field because such engagements direct us to possibilities and opportunities to reflect upon and reframe development theory ideas about what it is as well as the relationships through which developmentis practiced and mediated This volume brings together a collection of essays that speak to these broader concerns through their respective engagement with different issues and aspects in development In this introduction I provide some background to the politics of development aimed at contextualizing the essays I follow this with a brief introduction of individual essays and conclude with some thoughts on how we might keep the challenges and opportunities in development firmly in view in our engagements with the politics of social change The political relations of development have a long and fraught history They encompass colonialism and imperial rule together with their legacies struggles for decolonization and rights aspirations about material progress and demands for cultural recognition and alternative political institutions and approaches The political relations of development are far more complicated than conventionally represented in public and academic discourses which typically focus on questions of economic growth competitiveness and levels of industrialization and consumption Of course the

how rhetoric can be used as an interpretive and productive toolbox that allows us to of development discourses and consider how they are being perpetuated especially with respect to our agricultural systems which is a topic of increasing environmental social and political concern across the globe In particular by using such classical rhetorical concepts as epideictic and synecdoche to examine the rhetorics of agricultural development I show the multifaceted and often very different meanings and motivations of development thus complicating the limiting notions of development as a coherent expression of a single totalizing and inevitable force Scott and Dingo this collection In the case of ADM charitable rhetorics an ethos of partnership and a focus on epideictic rhetoric are the major rhetorical elements at work I examine how epideictic rhetoric as Dale Sullivan has argued is less a rhetoric of praise or blame but a reinforcement of an orthodoxy in a pluralistic societyin this case ADMs rhetoric of grateful nationalism In the case of the Shivaled coalition Navdanya I consider how rhetorical identification synecdochal arguments and visual rhetorics that draw on colonial and postcolonial historical legacies connect transnational cultural and economic flows of indigenous cultural resources eg seeds with the practice of biopiracy As I juxtapose these two contrasting examples of development rhetorics and examine the localglobal networks in which they are embedded I also demonstrate how they lead to very different political and practical trajectorieswith ADM seeking to expand its global reach open markets and protect its economic interests through national subsidies and tax breaks and the Shivaled coalition seeking to defend traditional practices of sharing and biodiversity against the encroachment of international patent law and structural adjustment policies Examined alongside one another the rhetorics of agricultural development embodied both in the ADM campaign and Shivaled Navdanya coalition appear to embody vastly different philosophies and practices Yet in these examples notions of growth progress and benefit are highly situated and contingent While ADM and Shiva are interested in making larger cultural social and political arguments for their model of agricultural development and do so by drawing on common tropes of the local

consider how a network model of rhetoric may allow us to study the associations combinations and juxtapositions that enable an understanding of rhetorical connectivities Dingo makes clear that considering networks allows us to better decipher the rhetorical and material impact of public policies by emphasizing the relationships connections occasions and contexts that link different audiences policies and practices This idea of a network is particularly important when studying agricultural development as food is traded across borders and governed by both national and international policies As Dingo argues further rhetoricians must consider how the rise of neoliberal economics neocolonial power relationships and the permeability of nationstate borders creates transnational rhetorical links in public policy As I show here we can see these sorts of links in the agricultural rhetorics that circulate globally At the same time however both ADM and Shiva network their communication strategies to the discursive arenas that overflow the bounds of both nations and states to spread their message about preferred agricultural practices and development models and

links between individual philanthropistsinvestors and women from poor nations For example within the issue the charity organization the American Jewish World Service reminds readers that it has been empowering women and girls in the developing world to take charge of their own lives by challenging violence inequality poverty and injustice American Jewish World Service The arts organization Haute Couleur describes how in a world where everything from tragedy to the quality of the air we breathe is tied to global market forces they empower women with the tools to unite with others into a global market force Haute Couleur Special issue editor Gerald Marzorati points out in his editors note that wealthy women are using their money to empower those who are less fortunate than they are And in their feature article Kristoff and WuDunn celebrate how microlending has been a core tool for womens empowerment particularly in Southeast Asian countries Empowerment is a term that has deep roots in feminist grassroots organizing and as such signals a prowoman ideology whereby a group of enlightened and already empowered people reveal mainly through consciousnessraising how empowerment might be found from within individual people and communities Yet these examples deploy the term empowerment in more complex and varied ways Empowerment is at once intangible and something that is given exchanged felt or taught Its connotation does not point to an absolute outcome although certainly the UN attempts to measure empowerment by tracking for example the economic political and professional participation of women compared to men Rather empowerment is both affect and feelingindeed one experiences empowerment and then that feeling is supposed to enable action and predominantly as in these earlier cases personal economic change for the third world female citizen One could read the aforementioned rhetorics of empowerment as being bound up in a traditional colonial power relationship whereby power is wielded from one wealthydeveloped citizen or organization onto another poorunderdeveloped citizen Indeed the title of the special issue Saving the Worlds Women which elicits questions about from whom or what we ie the New York Times Magazine audience are saving these women suggests that empowerment can be transferred from one group to another In each of these examples the rhetoric of empowerment serves to establish not only an economic relationship but also an affective relationship The donor not only lends or gives money to a poor woman but also presumes to connect to and then extend intangible support that will seemingly enable some form of financial agency for her This presumed affective connection supports the common and takenforgranted mega rhetoric that womens empowerment equals individual and national financial security Following the work of political philosopher Brian Massumi I define affect as a synesthetic bodily intensity that involves the participation of the senses in each other Massumi describes affect as a sort of prespeakable bodily intensity and in this way it is different from emotion Massumi explains emotion as qualified intensity as affect translated into narrativizable actionreaction circuits into function and meaning It is intensity owned and recognized I relate Massumis definition of affect to Kenneth Burkes description of the moment of consubstantiation especially in the sense that affect offers the potential for a moment of presumed connection between viewer and subject an open moment before the recognition of emotion and possible movement toward action We might represent this movement through the following equation Affect emotion connection action Affect scholars such as Massumi Lauren Berlant and Mark Hanson have suggested that scholars examining affective moments must focus not on textbased moments of interpretation but on precognitive embodied reactions to an encounter As Matt

Studying affect can help rhetoricians understand a crucial part of persuasion how the body translates affect into the emotions that propel action As Massumi has noted during moments of affect the body is open to new information because it has yet to judge or interpret that information Perhaps more than Massumi feminist studies of affect highlight the context of affect and consider the political

program by answering frequently asked questions on the subject There are five major categories of foreign assistance bilateral development aid economic assistance supporting US political and security goals humanitarian aid multilateral economic contributions and military aid Due largely to the implementation of two new foreign aid initiativesthe Millennium Challenge Corporation and the HIVAIDS Initiativebilateral development assistance has become the largest category of US aid In FY the United States provided some form of foreign assistance to about countries Israel and Egypt placed among the top recipients in FY as they have since the late s although ongoing reconstruction activities in Iraq and Afghanistan now place those nations near the top as well The impact of the terrorist attacks on September and the subsequent use of foreign aid to support the war on terrorism are clearly seen in the estimated countryaid levels for FY Pakistan and Jordan are key partners in the war on terrorism and major beneficiaries of US assistance Also among the leading recipients are some African countries that are the focus of the multibillion dollar HIVAIDS initiative By nearly all measures the amount of foreign aid provided by the United States declined for several decades but has grown in the past few years After hitting an alltime low in the mid s foreign assistance levels since FY in real terms have been higher than any period since the early s largely due to Iraq and Afghanistan reconstruction and HIVAIDS funding The of US gross national product represented by foreign aid obligations for FY is consistent with recent years but quite low compared to the early decades of the foreign assistance program The United States is the largest international economic aid donor in absolute dollar terms but is the smallest contributor among the major donor governments when calculated as a percent of gross national income US foreign aid is a fundamental component of the international affairs budget and is viewed by many as an essential instrument of US foreign policy Each year it is the subject of extensive congressional debate and legislative and executive branch initiatives proposing changes in the size composition and purpose of the program The focus of US foreign aid policy has been transformed since the terrorist attacks of September In a National Security

of policy responses the science evokes The modern world remains mired in a swamp of cognitive dissonance and collective denial seemingly dedicated to maintaining the status quo We appear in philosopher Martin Heideggers words to be in flight from thinking Just what is going on here I attempt to answer this question by exploring the distal biosocial causes of human economic behavior My working hypothesis is that modern H sapiens is unsustainable by natureunsustainability is an inevitable emergent property of the systemic interaction between contemporary technoindustrial society and the ecosphere I trace this conundrum to humanitys onceadaptive subconscious genetic predisposition to expand shared with all other species a tendency reinforced by the socially constructed economic narrative of continuous material growth Unfortunately these qualities have become maladaptive The current coevolutionary pathway of the human enterprise and the ecosphere therefore puts civilization at riskboth defective genes and malicious memes can be selected out by a changing physical environment To achieve sustainability the world community must write a new cultural narrative that is explicitly designed for living on a finite planet a narrative that overrides humanitys outdated innate expansionist tendencies"]

[null,"****","*_Rinzin *_2006     On the middle path The social basis for sustainable development in BhutanBhutan is a unique developing country situated in the Eastern Himalayan region It is the only Mahayana Buddhist country in the region and Buddhism influences much of its development and environmental ethos It is unique in the sense that firstly it is a Kingdom with an absolute hereditary monarchy but in His majesty the King devolved the power to the cabinet and subsequently in championed the move for constitutional democracy against the will of the people of Bhutan Secondly Bhutan came out of its selfimposed isolation only in the early The country was also able to enter the international development arena on its own terms The country has rich natural resources especially the forest more than of the countrys land surface is under forest cover and water resources The development philosophy of the country is inspired by the notion of happiness In the s the King announced that for Bhutanese people maximisation Gross National Happiness GNH is more important than the accumulation of material wealth by increasing Gross Domestic Product GDP Bhutans pursuit for GNH places individuals at the heart of all development efforts and it recognises the individual has material spiritual and emotional needs To this end Bhutan was inspired by Buddhism to follow a specific route to development The Middle Path The concept is derived from the Buddhist philosophy that happiness is accrued from a balanced act rather than from an extreme approach This strategy set the country on a development path that attempts to balance development of four pillars of GNH the equitable distribution of economic development preservation of environment and culture and promotion of good governance without favouring one pillar over another pillar Incidentally the four pillars of GNH are also similar to four domains of the international concept of sustainable development Therefore sustainable development has been adopted as the development goal of BhutanWhen juxtaposed with the existing various global development paradigms globalisation partnerships and community participation The Middle Path Strategy is seen to combine characteristics of both the partnership and the community participation paradigm Chapter The way development activities are implemented in Bhutan suggests that the state plays a dominant role with focus at the national level The development impetus is a top down approach Based on this theoretical framework the research aims to find out how this strategy works in practice and what the peoples perceptions of this strategy and the future consequences are In assessing the public perceptions and the implications of the four pillars of Gross National Happiness The Middle Path Strategy and individual happiness Chapter we used both primary and secondary sources Primary data were collected by conducting structured interviews as well as open interviewsThe interviews were conducted in ten out of the twenty districts in Bhutan The geographical locations of interviews were selected on the basis of three main criteria the ecological zone the level of development and the presence or absence of the influence of tourism The respondents were the civil society consisting of farmers NGOs and the religious community the market businesses and the state government officials at the ministries and in the districts The representatives of civil society and the market were randomly selected A total of respondents were interviewed of whom represented civil society represented the market and were state representatives The data were processed using SPSS software The civil servants and the people from civil society groups and the market fully support the spirit of the development strategy although not always with a full understanding of the official concept Generally people are aware of the importance of the four pillars of Gross National Happiness and they fully support it So far there is a general feeling that the past development results have been to a certain extent equitably shared amongst the citizens except in some remote districts that enjoy relatively fewer benefitsMost people regard themselves happy or very happy with respect to their spiritual wellbeing the natural environment social life and cultural heritage But levels of happiness relating to material wealth were valued relatively somewhat lower thus reflecting Buddhist values In assessing Gross National Happiness a large number of respondents express their state of happiness as Very happy or happy However they are concerned about the pressure of conservation of the natural environment and culture which does not contribute to growth In Chapter we studied tourism policy as a development mechanism in Bhutan To assess the socioeconomic impacts we analysed the added value in the tourism supply chain and the contribution of the tourism sector to the national

is the only Mahayana Buddhist country in the region and Buddhism influences much of its development and environmental ethos It is unique in the sense that firstly it is a Kingdom with an absolute hereditary monarchy but in His majesty the King devolved the power to the cabinet and subsequently in championed the move for constitutional democracy against the will of the people of Bhutan Secondly Bhutan came out of its selfimposed isolation only in the early The country was also able to enter the international development arena on its own terms The country has rich natural resources especially the forest more than of the countrys land surface is under forest cover and water resources The development philosophy of the country is inspired by the notion of happiness In the s the King announced that for Bhutanese people maximisation Gross National Happiness GNH is more important than the accumulation of material wealth by increasing Gross Domestic Product GDP Bhutans pursuit for GNH places individuals at the heart of all development efforts and it recognises the individual has material spiritual and emotional needs To this end Bhutan was inspired by Buddhism to follow a specific route to development The Middle Path The concept is derived from the Buddhist philosophy that happiness is accrued from a balanced act rather than from an extreme approach This strategy set the country on a development path that attempts to balance development of four pillars of GNH the equitable distribution of economic development preservation of environment and culture and promotion of good governance without favouring one pillar over another pillar Incidentally the four pillars of GNH are also similar to four domains of the international concept of sustainable development Therefore sustainable development has been adopted as the development goal of BhutanWhen juxtaposed with the existing various global development paradigms globalisation partnerships and community participation The Middle Path Strategy is seen to combine characteristics of both the partnership and the community participation paradigm Chapter The way development activities are implemented in Bhutan suggests that the state plays a dominant role with focus at the national level The development impetus is a top down approach Based on this theoretical framework the research aims to find out how this strategy works in practice and what the peoples perceptions of this strategy and the future consequences are In assessing the public perceptions and the implications of the four pillars of Gross National Happiness The Middle Path Strategy and individual happiness Chapter we used both primary and secondary sources Primary data were collected by conducting structured interviews as well as open interviewsThe interviews were conducted in ten out of the twenty districts in Bhutan The geographical locations of interviews were selected on the basis of three main criteria the ecological zone the level of development and the presence or absence of the influence of tourism The respondents were the civil society consisting of farmers NGOs and the religious community the market businesses and the state government officials at the ministries and in the districts The representatives of civil society and the market were randomly selected A total of respondents were interviewed of whom represented civil society represented the market and were state representatives The data were processed using SPSS software The civil servants and the people from civil society groups and the market fully support the spirit of the development strategy although not always with a full understanding of the official concept Generally people are aware of the importance of the four pillars of Gross National Happiness and they fully support it So far there is a general feeling that the past development results have been to a certain extent equitably shared amongst the citizens except in some remote districts that enjoy relatively fewer benefitsMost people regard themselves happy or very happy with respect to their spiritual wellbeing the natural environment social life and cultural heritage But levels of happiness relating to material wealth were valued relatively somewhat lower thus reflecting Buddhist values In assessing Gross National Happiness a large number of respondents express their state of happiness as Very happy or happy However they are concerned about the pressure of conservation of the natural environment and culture which does not contribute to growth In Chapter we studied tourism policy as a development mechanism in Bhutan To assess the socioeconomic impacts we analysed the added value in the tourism supply chain and the contribution of the tourism sector to the national economy Both primary and secondary sources were used for the research We collected the available national statistics and financial data about annual expenditures from a sample of six tour operators
