    UC Berkeley Berkeley Planning Journal Title Economics, Environment, and Equity: Policy Integration During Development in Vietnam Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3p999463 Journal Berkeley Planning Journal, 10(1) ISSN 1047-5192 Author O'Rourke, Dara Publication Date 1995 DOI 10.5070/BP310113059 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California ECONOMICS, ENVIRONMENT, AND EQUITY Policy Integration During Development in Vietnam Dara O'Rourke Conflicts between economic development, environmental protection and social equity underlie efforts to promote •sustainable development. • The author proposes a simplified framework for integrating economic, environmental, and social policies in order to foster development that is ecologically and socially more sustainable. The paper analyzes the specific forms these policy areas are assuming in Vietnam, and the underlying political forces (both internal and external) driving policy implementation. An examination of how these policies are currently integrated and balanced follows. The analysis shows that contrary to government pronouncements, development patterns are unlikely to be altered toward more sustainable ends under existing institutions and laws. Finally, the article discusses the potential for integrating current policies to achieve sustainability goals. Introduction and Background The challenge of "sustainable development" is to overcome conflicts between economic development, environmental protection, and social equity concerns. This paper presents a case study of one country's attempts to integrate and balance policy objectives that promote sustainable development. Changes underway in Vietnam, while unique in many ways, are relevant to other developing countries attempting to industrialize while competing in the global economy. Vietnam's transition to a market economy is driven by global political-economic changes as well as internal demands for economic development.

    IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA No. 15-0533 Filed June 15, 2016 STEVEN EARL FRASIER, Applicant-Appellant, vs. STATE OF IOWA, Respondent-Appellee. ________________________________________________________________ Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County, Edward A. Jacobson, Judge. Steven Frasier appeals from the dismissal of his fourth application for postconviction relief. AFFIRMED. Zachary S. Hindman of Bikakis, Mayne, Arneson, Hindman & Hisey, Sioux City, for appellant. Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, and Sharon K. Hall, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee State. Considered by Danilson, C.J., and Vogel and Potterfield, JJ. 2 DANILSON, Chief Judge. Steven Frasier appeals from the dismissal of his fourth application for postconviction relief (PCR). Because the application was time barred, we affirm. The standard of review on appeal from the denial of a postconviction relief application, including summary judgment dismissals, is for errors of law. Castro v. State, 795 N.W.2d 789, 792 (Iowa 2011). Postconviction proceedings that raise constitutional issues are reviewed de novo. Ledezma v. State, 626 N.W.2d 134, 141 (Iowa 2001). On August 31, 1986, Steven Frasier, Simon Tunstall, and James Simpson were each charged with murder and burglary stemming from the shooting death of Jeffrey Jones in Sioux City, Iowa. Each defendant pled not guilty and proceeded to a joint trial in the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County. In February 1987, a jury convicted Frasier of first-degree murder and first-degree burglary. The jury also found that Frasier had a firearm during the commission of the offenses. On March 30, 1987, the district court denied Frasier’s post-trial motions and sentenced him to life imprisonment on the murder conviction and a term of imprisonment not to exceed twenty-five years on the burglary conviction, with the sentences to be served concurrently.

Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

    FRASIER: A CULTURAL HISTORY Joseph J. Darowski and Kate Darowski Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2017 ROBERT MURTAGH Universidad de Almería [email protected] 177 Part of independent publisher Rowman & Littlefield’s “Cultural History of Television” series that (according to their website) “will focus on iconic television shows” from the 1950s to the present that have had a lasting impact on world culture, Frasier: A Cultural History joins a collection of extant publications on defining sitcoms such as Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Star Trek. The authors of the text in question, Joseph J. Darowski and Kate Darowski, are self-confessed Frasier fans with a background in different ambits of cultural study (the former as editor of the “Ages of Superheroes” essay series and author of X-Men and the Mutant Metaphor: Race and Gender in the Comic Books and the latter having researched the history of decorative arts and design). Above all, they share a mutual appreciation for all things Crane. From a structural perspective, the book is divided into two parts: “Part I: Making A Classic” and “Part II: Under Analysis”. Each section is further subdivided into four separate topics. The first deals with: the evolution of Cheers to the emergence of Frasier Crane; the story behind the eclectic cast; character profiles of Frasier, Niles, Martin and Eddy; and finally, a discussion of Daphne and Roz. The second part, as the name suggests, is more academically inclined with chapters examining ongoing character development in the Crane household; an in-depth look at Frasier’s apartment from structural and aesthetic perspectives, as well as in contrast to Niles’s home at the Montana; an analysis of set decoration, particularly chairs; and lastly, the representation of women, gender and race.

    “SKY BLOSSOM,” A “VARIETY TOP 2021 AWARDS SEASON CONTENDER,” BRINGS INNOVATIVE FILM LAUNCH STRATEGY TO NEW YORK’S FAMED 92Y First “all-inclusive” documentary of the year brings together Latino, Black, Asian, Native and White American Narratives. Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell join forces as Official Congressional Honorary Co-Chairs in rare bipartisan support for new film on student “care heroes.” January 9, 2021 (New York, NY)— The 92Y, one ​ of the leading cultural and community center in New York City, will present an exclusive screening and virtual conversation around the acclaimed documentary film “Sky Blossom: Diaries of the Next Greatest Generation” on Monday, January 11 at 6:30pET. Sky Blossom provides a raw, uplifting window into ​ the lives of 24.5 million students taking care of family with disabilities across America. The film in October was named by Variety as one of the “Top 25 2021 Awards Season Contenders.” “Viewers often say they cry, but because they are so inspired by the courage the students in the film demonstrate,” says the film’s director. Intersectional and All-Inclusive The film follows five students over three years, from Latino, Black, Asian, Native, and White American families in the military community. During a year of wide-reaching headlines of George Floyd, these families’ multicultural stories of homelessness, poverty, life and death, and more give us a look into what it means to be a Person of Color, a caregiver, a veteran, and more. The field film crew was 100% female, as was the composer of the original soundtrack and six original theme songs.

Three major reasons for underrepresentation are identified and discussed: (1) test bias (the most frequent attribution for underrepresentation in programs);(2) selective referrals (usually because of teacher attitudes and knowledge about minority students and the type of school students are likely to attend); and (3) reliance on deficit-based paradigms (making recognition of the strengths of minority children less likely). Recommendations for modifying traditional assessment procedures include the use of multiple criteria and nontraditional measures and procedures and modification of selection criteria.
