UN CONVENTION AGAINST CORRUPTION CIVIL SOCIETY REVIEW: PERU 2011 Context and Purpose
UN CONVENTION AGAINST CORRUPTION CIVIL SOCIETY REVIEW: PERU 2011 Context and purpose The UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) was adopted in 2003 and entered into force in December 2005. It is the first legally binding anti-corruption agreement applicable on a global basis. To date, 154 states have become parties to the convention. States have committed to implement a wide and detailed range of anti-corruption measures that affect their laws, institutions and practices. These measures promote prevention, criminalisation and law enforcement, international cooperation, asset recovery, technical assistance and information exchange. Concurrent with UNCAC’s entry into force in 2005, a Conference of the States Parties to the Convention (CoSP) was established to review and facilitate required activities. In November 2009 the CoSP agreed on a review mechanism that was to be “transparent, efficient, non-intrusive, inclusive and impartial”. It also agreed to two five-year review cycles, with the first on chapters III (Criminalisation and Law Enforcement) and IV (International Co-operation), and the second cycle on chapters II (Preventive Measures) and V (Asset Recovery). The mechanism included an Implementation Review Group (IRG), which met for the first time in June–July 2010 in Vienna and selected the order of countries to be reviewed in the first five-year cycle, including the 26 countries (originally 30) in the first year of review. UNCAC Article 13 requires States Parties to take appropriate measures including “to promote the active participation -

As we celebrate this milestone, CSIS scholars are develop- ing strategic insights and bipartisan policy solutions to help decisionmakers chart a course toward a better world. CSIS is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. The Center’s 220 full- time staff and large network of affiliated scholars conduct research and analysis and develop policy initiatives that look into the future and anticipate change. Founded at the height of the Cold War by David M. Abshire and Admiral Arleigh Burke, CSIS was dedicated to finding ways to sustain American prominence and prosperity as a force for good in the world. Since 1962, CSIS has become one of the world’s preeminent international institutions focused on defense and security; regional stability; and transnational challenges ranging from en- ergy and climate to global health and economic integration. Former U.S. senator Sam Nunn has chaired the CSIS Board of Trustees since 1999. Former deputy secretary of defense John J. Hamre became the Center’s president and chief executive of- ficer in April 2000. -
Culture of Health – Part 2 - a New Imperative for Business
Culture of Health – Part 2 - a new imperative for business. As discussed in Culture of Health - Part 1, we see that investing in health provides a return on investment (ROI) and that e.g. the share price of companies who focus on health as a part of their corporate strategy exceeds the overall S&P. Hence, focusing on health might create the competitive advantage needed in this increasingly pressured market, and investing in creating a culture of health would be a smart move. To give you a better understanding of a culture of health I will introduce you to an organising concept of four fundamental pillars (Figure 1 - John Quelch´s Four Pillars Framework):“consumer health, employee health, community health and environmental health” (Quelch, 2018). Every pillar represents its own aspect of health and influence, describing ways businesses are involved and concerned with health (Quelch, 2018), not siloed but overlapping. These also represent four areas where businesses may promote and support change, as investing in health provides an ROI. Figure 1 – John Quelch´s Four Pillars Framework (Quelch, 2018). The goal is to support and enable a healthy development within the organisation, where all pillars become an integral part of the DNA. For example, looking at recruitment companies: • Consumer health: they deliver recruiting and consulting, which means their goal is to improve and provide good and healthy employees to their clients (consumers), and all of their candidates and services are often reviewed in relations to health before recommended or hired. • Employee health: as most businesses they should be concerned with the health of their workforce and make sure that well-being programs are promoted and made available for their employees. -
How to Market in a Downturn by John Quelch and Katherine E
RECESSION How to Market in a Downturn by John Quelch and Katherine E. Jocz From the April 2009 Issue n every recession marketers find themselves in poorly charted waters because no two downturns are exactly alike. However, in studying the marketing successes I and failures of dozens of companies as they’ve navigated recessions from the 1970s onward, we’ve identified patterns in consumers’ behavior and firms’ strategies that either propel or undermine performance. Companies need to understand the evolving consumption patterns and fine-tune their strategies accordingly. During recessions, of course, consumers set stricter priorities and reduce their spending. As sales start to drop, businesses typically cut costs, reduce prices, and postpone new investments. Marketing expenditures in areas from communications to research are often slashed across the board—but such indiscriminate cost cutting is a mistake. Although it’s wise to contain costs, failing to support brands or examine core customers’ changing needs can jeopardize performance over the long term. Companies that put customer needs under the microscope, take a scalpel rather than a cleaver to the marketing budget, and nimbly adjust strategies, tactics, and product offerings in response to shifting demand are more likely than others to flourish both during and after a recession. Understanding Recession Psychology / In frothy periods of national prosperity, marketers may forget that rising sales aren’t caused by clever advertising and appealing products alone. Purchases depend on consumers’ having disposable income, feeling confident about their future, trusting in business and the economy, and embracing lifestyles and values that encourage consumption. But by all accounts, this recession is the severest since the Great Depression. -

Point ofview Focusing the Brand for the Coming Recovery CONSUMER Is there a glimmer of light on the horizon? Perhaps. There are GOODS certainly glimmers of optimism that the worst recession since SECTOR the 1930’s1 may be abating, yet unemployment is still on the increase and consumer spending continues to be noticeably down, wreaking havoc on economies and confounding Marketers. The ultimate outcome and timeframe may still be uncertain, but what is clear is that this recession is not merely deep; it is creating a sea-change in consumer behavior. By all accounts we are witnessing what economists term a ‘structural break’– a concept popularized by David Hendry meaning an unexpected shift in a macroeconomic time series.This break represents the discontinu- David Pring Executive Vice President, ity of a trend whose origin dates back to the post-war boom of Head of Global Client Development, the 1950s. While we will hopefully see a return to some measur- Ipsos Marketing, Consumer Goods Sector able degree of growth in the next year or so, the behavioral [email protected] changes are considerable such that traditional notions of consumer behavior and market segments may no longer be valid. The world that the Marketer is likely to find post-recession therefore may be very different from the one before. As Richard Rumelt cites in his paper Strategy in a Structural Break, “Old sources of competitive advantage weaken and new sources appear. Afterwards, upstarts can leap ahead of seemingly entrenched players.”2 He is not the only economist who points out that continuing to do things in the same way has proven unsuccessful, and that the traditional moves of reducing fixed costs, scope and variety are insufficient. -
Peru's 2000 Presidential Election
FPP-00-5 Peru’s 2000 Presidential Election: Undermining Confidence in Democracy? EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On April 9, 2000, Peruvian voters will cast their ballots in presidential and congressional elections. Nine political groups have registered, and four candidates are generally regarded as front-runners. Incumbent president Alberto Fujimori is seeking a controversial second re-election. His strongest opponent is Alejandro Toledo, a second-time candidate for Possible Peru (Perú Posible) followed by Alberto Andrade, the mayor of the capital city of Lima and leader of We are Peru (Somos Perú), and Luis Castañeda Lossio, the leader of the National Solidarity Party (Partido Solidaridad Nacional). Although much is at stake in these elections, differences in political programs have taken second place to the clash of individual personalities. From the outset, serious allegations have been made with regard to the rules of the electoral process and the unfair advantages of incumbency. Non-partisan election organizations, such as Transparencia, Foro Democratico and La Defensoría del Pueblo (the Ombudsman’s Office), along with international election observation missions, will play a crucial role in ensuring a clean process and educating the electorate about voting procedures. President Fujimori may represent a disturbing new trend – a movement away from democratic consolidation and toward the dismantling of the institutional underpinnings of representative democracy. RÉSUMÉ Le 9 avril 2000, les Péruviens devront se présenter aux urnes afin d’y élire les membres du Congrès ainsi que le président. Au total, neuf groupes politiques sont enregistrés et on peut discerner quatre candidats de premier plan. L’actuel président Alberto Fujimori alimente la controverse en tentant de se faire réélire pour une deuxième fois. -

The time period has been fictionalized and glorified by contemporary society, oftentimes weaving together factual accounts of the men and women who had a role in the Golden Age with dramatized fiction to provide us the tales of the swashbucklers we know today. What this research paper aims to do is to provide a factual account of what being a pirate in the Golden Age was truly like, while debunking the myths and legends that surround this era of maritime history. iv Introduction: A Pirate’s Life For Me The King and his men stole the Queen from her bed and bound her in her bones the seas be ours and by the powers where we will we'll roam Yo ho, all hands Hoist the colors high Heave ho, thieves and beggars Never shall we die Now some have died and some are alive and others sail on sea with the keys to the cage and the Devil to pay we lay to Fiddler's Green. -

Private Politics and Peasant Mobilization Mining in Peru
Private Politics and Peasant Mobilization Mining in Peru Maria-Therese Gustafsson Development, Justice and Citizenship This series responds to the urgent need to explore the multiple challenges of research International Development from the perspective of justice and citizenship Complex issues such as the global inter-connectedness of places, economies, communities, and ideas, the movement of people, the costs of increasingly intensive and extensive models of capitalist growth, the global economy of energy, finance and production, global scarcity, abundance and consumption, security, health and environmental degrada- tion all bring with them human dilemmas that directly affect people in or from the Global South and are at the heart of current agenda for develop- ment studies. The series is inspired by the research approach of the new University of Sheffield flagship research centre; the Sheffield Institute for International Development (SIID) and the colleagues and partners SIID is working with. SIID aims, above all, to set out an agenda for international development that reflects the importance of justice, rights and citizen- ship for global politics, policy and practices. It seeks to stimulate research for the highest calibre around international development as a question of social, political, economic and cultural justice and global social responsi- bility. It will showcase theoretical and empirical studies of the multi-level struggles for justice by and ordinary people and the politics and policies that seek to give rise to a fairer and more just global society. The series seeks contributions, therefore, that reveal the multiple ways people oper- ate and engage in forms of struggle for a better world, and that explore the ways states and international actors engage with demands for change.
