  • Public Consultation on the Draft National Risk Assessment 2018
    Public Consultation on the Draft National Risk Assessment 2018 Overall, the draft National Risk Assessment 2018 successfully and comprehensively identifies the correct strategic risks facing Ireland. The brief contribution below relates to those risks that should be prioritised; steps that might potentially be taken over the coming decades to mitigate their worst effects have also been outlined in passing. 2.1 Departure of the UK from the EU The UK’s decision to leave the EU is a momentous event. It not only presents unprecedented political, economic, social and diplomatic challenges for this nation, but potentially marks a turning point in Irish destinies on par with Kinsale in 1601. Like it or not, the energies of the Irish state and nation will henceforth be on building political and social ties, diversifying trade links, and establishing diplomatic and, eventually, military alliances within the framework of a multilingual, multipolar European Union that is itself integrating into the rising Eurasian trade networks. Even if English continues as the lingua franca of international trade, the Irish nation will become more comfortable operating within a linguistically, culturally and socially diverse and complex environment. This visible divergence of Ireland from ‘British norms’ will increase the perception of this nation as ‘other’; this will not always be a comfortable reality for our friends in Britain, many of whom are not always accustomed to taking Ireland’s national interests seriously. In the coming decades, then, Ireland will have to balance efforts to reassure British societal and security concerns, while still pursuing an independent foreign policy agenda, up to and including full participation in European defence and security arrangements that may not align with UK grand strategy.

  • UNICEF Gender Action Plan, 2022–2025 Indicator Matrix
    UNICEF/2021/EB/11 Distr.: General 4 August 2021 English only For information + United Nations Children’s Fund Executive Board Second regular session 2021 7–10 September 2021 Item 5 of the provisional agenda* UNICEF Gender Action Plan, 2022–2025 Indicator matrix Summary The UNICEF Gender Action Plan, 2022–2025, specifies how the organization will promote gender equality across its work, in alignment with the UNICEF Strategic Plan, 2022–2025. It elaborates the gender dimensions of programmatic results across the five Goal Areas of the Strategic Plan, as well as the steps necessary to strengthen gender equality across change strategies and institutional systems and processes. The present document includes the subset of indicators drawn from the results framework of the UNICEF Strategic Plan, 2022–2025, which will be used to track progress on programmatic and institutional gender results. In some cases, only the gender-relevant element of an indicator that has a broader scope in the results framework is noted here. In section I of the present document, the gender-related indicators on programmatic results follow the logical hierarchy of the Strategic Plan results and are mapped across the five Goal Areas. Gender indicators at the outcome and output levels for each Goal Area are aligned to the two focus areas under the Gender Action Plan: (a) gender priorities throughout the life course; and (b) adolescent girls’ leadership and well-being priorities. In section II, the gender-related indicators on institutional results encompass programme strategies and organizational effectiveness and efficiency, and track progress on the integration of gender analysis, the quality of design and implementation of country programme documents, as well as gender-related staffing, capacity and expenditure.

  • Katherine Cramer Walsh Associate Professor of Political
    A GEOGRAPHY OF POWER: RURAL PERSPECTIVES OF POLITICAL INEQUALITY Katherine Cramer Walsh Associate Professor of Political Science Morgridge Center for Public Service Faculty Research Scholar 110 North Hall University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison, WI 53706 608-265-3679 [email protected] Abstract: The globalization, advanced media technology and increased mobility of modern life has not erased the importance of place for politics. How does place matter for the way people make sense of political affairs? This study examines the use of place, particularly the rural vs. urban divide, among rural residents. It does so through a conception of public opinion as perceptions that are formulated in the midst of interpersonal interaction. It uses observation of multiple conversations among 36 groups in 27 communities sampled across a Midwestern state. The analyses reveal that rural residents imbue the urban/rural divide with perceptions of who has decision-making power, who has values consistent with their own, and who has resources. The anti-urban perspectives the paper reveals are not simply reducible to racism or partisanship. The importance of the rural/urban lens for rural residents suggests that place is a powerful identity on which political mobilization can occur. Paper prepared for presentation to the Department of Political Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, February 18, 2011. I am sincerely grateful to the people who allowed me to take part in their conversations for this study. I also thank Tim Bagshaw, Emily Erwin-Frank, Valerie Hennings, Ryan Miller, Tricia Olsen, Kerry Ratigan, and especially Sarah Niebler for transcription, translation and research assistance.

    Biography of a Bibliophile and Owner of a 1605 Quijote: Oscar Benjamín Cintas y Rodríguez (1887-1957) ___________________________________________ Jack Weiner For Alan Benton, sage, scholar, friend, and warrior Y fueron siempre mis lujos invertir en buenos cuadros lo que otros derrochaban en yates, mesas de juego o queridas. Eso es todo. Antonio Álvarez “Pagué…” 43 he purpose of this study is to analyze the personality and mo- tivations of this Cuban philanthropist, diplomat, bibliophile, art collector, and businessman.1 I want to determine what attracted TMr. Cintas so irresistibly to his beloved books—and especially the 1605 Quijote—and art. This study will also show that quixotic idealism and benevolence fueled his desire to collect books and art primarily for the well being of the Cuban people. A collector’s paintings and books allow the scholar to peer into that collector’s heart and soul. 1 I thank so many people and institutions for their invaluable help with this study.

  • Wealthy and Healthy in the South Pacific Eliana
    Wealthy and Healthy in the South Pacific Eliana Jimenez, Ignacio Correa-Velez, and Richard P. C. Brown1 Abstract Objectives: The main aim of this paper is to analyse the relationship between socio- economic status and health status at the household level in Fiji, a developing country in the South Pacific, based on original household survey data compiled by the authors. Method: We exploit the geographic conditions of Viti Levu, the relatively small main island of Fiji, to isolate the effects of household wealth on health. For households on this island physical distance is not a significant impediment for access to health care and other publicly-provided services. We use a constructed index of household wealth in place of the more commonly used income measure of socio-economic status. To control for reverse causality and other possible sources of endogeneity we use an Instrumental Variable strategy in the regression analysis. Findings: We find that a household’s socio-economic status, as measured by a constructed wealth index, has a substantial impact on the household’s health status. We estimate that if a household's wealth increased from the minimum to the maximum level, this would decrease its probability of being afflicted by an incapacitating illness by almost 50 per cent. Conclusions: Health outcomes from existing health services can therefore be improved by raising the economic well-being of poor households. Conversely, the provision of additional health services alone may not necessarily improve health outcomes for the poorest. 1 Respectively, School of Population Health, University of Queensland, Refugee Health Research Centre, La Trobe University and School of Economics, University of Queensland.

A body of new "affluenza" research, concerning the psychological pitfalls of excessive wealth ownership, has inspired many in the wealth management industry to consider the mental health of their client family offspring for the first time. The studies demonstrate how wealth may isolate people, foster a sense of entitlement and lead to careless and unscrupulous behavior. "Those who waste money also lose money." While banks lose some clients every year, the need to worry about next gen inheritors is greater now than ever before. As baby boomers pass away younger generations are inheriting in greater numbers. And, 90% of inheritors switch financial advisors as soon as they gain control over their money.
