  • Good Governance and Political Communication in the Eu
    GOOD GOVERNANCE AND POLITICAL COMMUNICATION IN THE EU Natascha Zeitel-Bank Management Center Innsbruck, Austria [email protected] Ute Tat [email protected] Abstract: Originally stemming from the necessity of establishing a “better” governmental system in development countries, the term Good Governance refers in general on how public institutions conduct public affairs and manage public resources including the process of decision-making and decisions-implementation. As pointed out by the European Commission and specified by the United Nations “Good Governance” is mainly based on five characteristics: Openness: “The Institutions should work in a more open manner.” Participation: “Improved participation is likely create more confidence in the end result and in the Institutions which deliver policies.” Accountability: “Roles in the legislative and executive processes need to be clearer.” Effectiveness: “Policies must be effective and timely, delivering what is needed on the basis of clear objectives, an evaluation of future impact…” Coherence: “Policies and action must be coherent and easily understood.” Taking into account these principles, it is evident that there is an interdependence between a functioning political communication system and “Good Governance” in the EU. The existing decision and control mechanism inside the EU-decision process must be enforced not only by (transnational)media but above all by the “power” of the European citizens as a new force in promoting and claiming the fulfillment of the “Good Governance” criteria. It can be shown that through the establishment of specific internet networks (social media) a new age of international political communication in a new interactive way has started, which will help as a consequence in reducing the well-known democratic deficit in the European Union.

  • A History of Prostitution in Hawaii Presented by Carter Churchfield and Tracy Ryan for the January 9, 2018 Conference “Deconstructing Sex Work and Sex Trafficking”
    A History of Prostitution in Hawaii Presented by Carter Churchfield and Tracy Ryan for the January 9, 2018 conference “Deconstructing Sex Work and Sex Trafficking” The effects of 1778 contact between Westerners and Hawaii • A lot has been written about sex in the pre-contact Hawaiian culture and the clash between mores of the native community and the outsiders who began arriving in the wake of Captain Cook. Westerns saw Hawaiians as morally lax; tolerating promiscuity and homosexuality. • Hawaiians blamed Westerners for bringing syphilis, gonorrhea, and prostitution to their islands; all of which first appeared shortly after contact. These and other diseases initiated by contact devastated the Hawaiian people. The Public Health Response to Prostitution Prostitution had arisen in Hawaii as sailors visited the islands. During the first decades of the 19th century laws were passed, but the situation continued. • The Hawaiian government turned to legalized, regulated prostitution as a way of containing venereal diseases in 1860. The 1860 law allowed women to work as prostitutes within a regulated system. “Oriental Vice” • Later in the 19th century a new racial group, the Japanese, (and to a lesser extant Asians in general) had become the source of evil in the eyes of moralists. • The sharp decline in the population of native Hawaiians coupled with the increased demand for labor lead Hawaii’s leaders to encourage a large immigration from Asia. This was a gender unbalanced migration. Single Japanese women were outnumbered by single men by as much as 100 to 1. Iwilei • A system of brothels run by Japanese, staffed by Japanese women, and serving Japanese men grew up in Iwilei.

  • The Venereal Doctrine: Compulsory Examinations, Sexually Transmitted Infections, and the Rape/Prostitution Divide Scott W
    (12) STERN_FINAL.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 6/19/19 4:19 PM The Venereal Doctrine: Compulsory Examinations, Sexually Transmitted Infections, and the Rape/Prostitution Divide Scott W. Stern† ABSTRACT This Article uncovers a blatantly sexist dynamic that has persisted, largely unnoticed, in American common law for more than a century: courts are far more willing to accept invasive examinations for sexually transmitted infections in women than in men. Remarkably, this disparity has been justified by the same assumption throughout the twentieth century: women with STIs are viewed as a threat to the health of the general public, while men with STIs are viewed as a threat only to individuals, not the public at large. By examining cases involving men accused of rape and women accused of prostitution, this Article documents starkly disparate treatment. For decades, judges across the country have consistently relied on the stereotype that prostitutes with STIs represent such an alarming threat to public health that few measures go too far to stop them from promiscuously spreading these infections. On the other hand, rapists with STIs are a threat only to individual victims, not to the broader public, and thus health measures to hinder their transmission of infection must be far more limited. Together, these opinions comprise a cognizable legal doctrine—the “venereal doctrine.” This doctrine emerged in the early 1900s, as scientific advancements made relatively reliable STI testing a reality, and it evolved throughout the twentieth century. Even following the rights revolution of the Warren Court, this doctrine DOI: https://doi.org/10.15779/Z38N29P69K † B.A., M.A., Yale University (2015), J.D., Yale Law School (2020).
