This book focuses on those Editions CIES between football’s employers (clubs, leagues and even NAs) and its labour force. Based on a sample of forty countries across all six confederations and questionnaires from players’ associations, leagues and national associations, this research surveys and compares the diverse ‘management-labour’ approaches and scenarios in both men and women’s professional football worldwide. GOVERNANCE RELATIONSHIPS The authors place a special focus on players’ associations and highlight the variety of IN FOOTBALL BETWEEN structures found world-wide.

  • 6.3 Preliminary Analysis by Screening Curve Before Formulating The
    6.3 Preliminary Analysis by Screening Curve Before formulating the generation development plan using simulation tools, the Study team conducted a preliminary analysis using the screening curve method. This analysis provides basic information for generation development planning such as the cost of development and operation and the roughly estimated capacity required to develop each candidate unit in the future. 6.3.1 Screening Curve Analysis The characteristics of future candidate units shown in Table 6.2.37 are used for the screening curve analysis. Figure 6.3.1 shows the results of the analysis. 40 Diesel (Residual Oil) 10MW Diesel (Furnace Oil) 10MW 35 Steam Turbine (Furnace Oil) 150MW Steam Turbine (Furnace Oil) 300MW Steam Turbine (Coal) 300MW 30 Gas Turbine (Auto Diesel Oil) 35MW Gas Turbine Gas Turbiine (Auto Diesel Oil) 105MW Specific Costs (cent/kWh) Combined Cycle (Auto Diesel Oil) 150MW 25 Combined Cycle (Auto Diesel Oil) 300MW Moragolla Hydropower Gin Ganga Hydropower 20 Broadlands Hydropower Uma Oya Hydropower 15 Coal-fired Steam Turbine Combined Cycle 10 Uma Oya : PF=32.8% 5 Broadlands : PF=41.1% Gin Ganga : PF=48.9% Moragolla : PF=46.5% 0 0 % 10 % 20 % 30 % 40 % 50 % 60 % 70 % 80 % 90 % 100 % Annual Plant Factor (%) Figure 6.3.1 Results of Screening Analysis (Specific Cost) As shown in Figure 6.3.1, the cost break point between a coal-fired steam turbine unit and an auto diesel oil-fired combined cycle unit is around 17% of the capacity factor in the screening curve and the cost break point between an auto diesel oil-fired combined cycle unit and a gas turbine unit is around 8% of the capacity factor.

  • Football Diplomacy Research Fellow Tel
    POLICY BRIEF November 2005 ANTHONY BUBALO Football Diplomacy Research Fellow Tel. +61 2 8238 9140 [email protected] What is the problem? While Australian governments have successfully built pragmatic ties with Asian leaders, a popular dimension to our engagement with Asia has in many respects been missing. This didn’t matter greatly in the past, but today public opinion is increasingly a factor in foreign policy. Governments must influence individuals as well as elites to address global problems such as terrorism and disease and ‘branding’ has become critical to a state’s ability to attract trade, investment and international political support. But a new opportunity to deepen people-to-people links with Asia has arrived in the form of Australia’s recent admission into the Asian Football Confederation. For the first time, Australia will have a significant sporting relationship with Asia. The question is, how can Australia best use this opportunity to enhance its regional image and engagement? What should be done? Here are five ideas for how government, business and the broader community might leverage Australia’s new sporting relationship with Asia: • Football Federation Australia (FFA) should work with business and government to establish a ‘Football Asia Council’ to coordinate commercial, cultural, and public diplomacy programs with Australian participation in Asian football competitions. • FFA, business and government should launch a coordinated effort through this Council to develop football-based tourism and travel. • Austrade should establish a ‘Football Business Club Australia’ to facilitate commercial networking opportunities during matches between Australian and LOWY INSTITUTE FOR Asian teams. FFA should also consider initiating a tri-nations series with Japan INTERNATIONAL POLICY and South Korea, providing an opportunity for greater commercial, cultural, and 31 Bligh Street political engagement with these key countries.
