C. ij To JORGE BASADRE Historian Scholar Friend Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2011 with funding from LYRASIS IVIembers and Sloan Foundation http://www.archive.org/details/chinesebondageinOOstew FOREWORD THE CENTURY just passed has witnessed a great movement of the sons of China from their huge country to other portions of the globe. Hundreds of thousands have fanned out southwestward, southward, and southeastward into various parts of the Pacific world. Many thousands have moved eastward to Hawaii and be- yond to the mainland of North and South America. Other thousands have been borne to Panama and to Cuba. The movement was in part forced, or at least semi-forced. This movement was the consequence of, and it like- wise entailed, many problems of a social and economic nature, with added political aspects and implications. It was a movement of human beings which, while it has had superficial notice in various works, has not yet been ade- quately investigated. It is important enough to merit a full historical record, particularly as we are now in an era when international understanding is of such extreme mo- ment. The peoples of the world will better understand one another if the antecedents of present conditions are thoroughly and widely known.

  • Innovation in Disaster Risk Reduction Applyng Global Investigations on La Molina Effects
    INNOVATION IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION APPLYNG GLOBAL INVESTIGATIONS ON LA MOLINA EFFECTS Julio Kuroiwa(1) SUMMARY Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) globally has mainly been based on reducing the vulnerability of buildings and infrastructures, designing and constructing them more robustly, using, for example, seismic codes of Japan and California, USA, from the 1980s, which have substantially reduced structural damages. However, disaster reduction has lately evolved to disaster risk reduction. By adding risk, it is explicitly including the other risk parameter: hazard. In La Molina, during the Lima 1940, 1966 and 1974 earthquakes, the seismic intensities there were IX MMI while in most of Lima’s built up areas, the intensities were V-VI MMI. The borders of La Molina and Lima areas are separated by only a few hundred meters, but there were large differences in intensity. Those events are named microzonation effects. Inspired in La Molina microzonation effects, from 1966 to 2017, the author carried out field damage survey investigations of 25 important disasters occurred in the Americas, Japan and China, and a few more in Peru of geological and hydrometeorogical origin disasters, including climate change. The two most clear microzonation effects –of the globally investigated disasters– occurred: (1) during the 1985 Michoacan Mexico earthquake, Mw 8.1 USGS, when the peak acceleration was 12cm/s2, at Lazaro Cardenas Port, on stiff soil, close to the seismic epicenter, while in Mexico City (MXC), 350 km from the epicenter, the peak acceleration was 120 cm/s2 on muddy soil at the location of the old Texcoco Lake. The soil amplification was 10 times, in spite of the great distance of MXC from the seismic epicenter.

Rep. Benjamin A.

He criticized the Clinton administration for its failure to provide enough helicopters to Colombia’s anti-drug police to fight “narco-guerrillas,” and expressed skepticism that rebels of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) had a sincere interest in negotiating peace. He called for increased training of the Colombian military, to improve profes- sionalism and respect for human rights. From left to right: Rep. Benjamin A. Gilman, Phillip Chicola, and Rep.

    UNCTAD/ITE/IIP/Misc.19 United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Investment Policy Review Peru UNITED NATIONS UNITED NATIONS New-York and Geneva, 2000 Note UNCTAD serves as the focal point within the United Nations Secretariat for all matters related to foreign direct investment and transnational corporations. In the past, the Programme on Transnational Corporations was carried out by the United Nations Centre on Transnational Corporations (1975-1992) and the Transnational Corporations and Management Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Development (1992-1993). In 1993, the Programme was transferred to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. UNCTAD seeks to further the understanding of the nature of transnational corporations and their contribution to development and to create an enabling environment for international investment and enterprise development. UNCTAD’s work is carried out through intergovernmental deliberations, technical assistance activities, seminars, workshops and conferences. The term “country” as used in this study also refers, as appropriate, to territories or areas; the designations employed and the presentation of the material do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.
