Though empowerment is decisive in attitude, quantitative researches show a dearth. This study uses resident empowerment through tourism scale to model empowerment’s role in sustaining residents support for tourism in the light of Social Exchange Theory (SET) and Weber’s theory of Formal and Substantive Rationality (WFSR) , aiming at identifying the impacts of residence community empowerment as a pivot in advocating residents’ support for tourism development. Kalpitiya, a fast developing tourist destination in the Island was found a fertile ground to test the proposed model. A random sample of 619 was used to collect primary data through a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Model approach in SmartPLS3. Findings show that residents are influenced by personal economic benefits and pride, self-esteem heightened by psychological empowerment. Political empowerment influenced on positive impacts leading to residents’ support for tourism development. The paper argues that SET merely insufficient to explain residents’ behavior towards tourism while WFSR appears as a broader approach. Tourism practitioners need the attention towards non-economic considerations such as values, believes and morals in advocating residents’ support for tourism since economic gains can’t assure it alone.","PeriodicalId":214968,"journal":{"name":"Applied & Practicing Anthropology eJournal","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115716800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper therefore reviewed the impact of narcotic drug use on human security of states in the West African sub-region and adopted the theory of rational addiction as theoretical framework for analysis. The paper also employed a desk-review research approach with the reports and evaluations obtained from secondary sources of data analyzed through content analysis. The paper found that narcotic drug use is associated with several drug problems that include biological, environmental, behavioral, cognitive and emotional risk factors. The study concluded that narcotic drug use has negative impact on the human security of West African states and recommended that ECOWAS Commission and member states should address the structural, political and socio-economic weaknesses facing states in the region by adopting policy measures aimed at improving human security. Furthermore, drug supply reduction strategies which primarily focus on interdiction actions should be complemented with harm reduction policies that will address public health and developmental challenges.","PeriodicalId":214968,"journal":{"name":"Applied & Practicing Anthropology eJournal","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128291243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even in 2015 Riau's population growth rate exceeded the national level. This is due to the low level of public awareness of the Kampung KB program and the low level of community participation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of the Kampung KB program in improving family welfare in the Air Dingin Village. The research method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with the help of Big Data. The data used are primary and secondary data, where data sources are obtained from informants selected based on purposive sampling. The results of this study generally indicate that the implementation of the Kampung KB program in the Air Dingin Village has been going well. It's just that there is one activity that has not been implemented, namely the Youth Counseling Information Center (PIK) for Youth. Input from this program High community participation for the progress of the family planning program, the variety of activities carried out in an integrated manner and the availability of facilities and infrastructure. The process of this program The running of activities in each section, the participation of government officials in synchronizing activities and the frequency and quality of extension activities is not maximal. The output of this program is improving the quality of human resources and controlling population numbers through increasing participation of family planning participants, family development programs through community empowerment, and increasing cross-sectoral activities.","PeriodicalId":214968,"journal":{"name":"Applied & Practicing Anthropology eJournal","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125751193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Darr","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.3414032","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.3414032","url":null,"abstract":"This paper explores the interaction between the right to food and competition law. Although the actual or potential impact of human rights rhetoric informing and empowering competition law enforcement has not yet been examined in depth, we believe that the right to food may provide context and content to competition law and thereby guide its enforcement. We believe that an in-depth analysis of competition policy issues in the food sector may provide a blueprint for conceptualizing competition law not only as an instrument for achieving economic efficiency, innovation, and/or consumer welfare, but also as a sophisticated tool to ensure the fulfilment of the institutional conditions necessary for the realization of the aims of the right to food. Competition law may become an instrument to address the structural inequality that follows the development of a concentrated food system, characterized by the presence of global food value chains controlled by lead firms, which puts some economic actors, such as the farmers of the developing world, in a position of permanent disadvantage. It is our view that not only does the implementation of the right to food stand to benefit from the market-centered approach promoted by competition law, but also that competition law itself will become a more “holistic” and meaningful tool for social reform by taking into account values inherent in the right to food. We provide the grammar of a holistic competition policy in this crucial sector for national and global economies and we dissect the actual and potential impact of the right to food rhetoric on competition law enforcement.","PeriodicalId":214968,"journal":{"name":"Applied & Practicing Anthropology eJournal","volume":"7 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125860144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It links empirical and theoretical perspectives on PPPs to the key operational elements of Open AIR, including its core driving factors relevant to the development gap associated with IP and knowledge governance in Africa. In this regard, the chapter finds that insights from Open AIR’s construct and research findings, which flow from its activities as a research-driven rather than a product-driven initiative, can shine light on how PPPs (or cross-sector partnerships in general) can be better exploited and reengineered beyond their current and ad hoc interventionist outlook, in order to make them serve as effective sustainable development vehicles. The chapter begins with a contextualization of PPPs in global governance generally and their evolution within sustainable development efforts. It then introduces Open AIR. The following section links various elements of Open AIR to potential characteristics of PPPs, emphasizing six features that have resulted in successful interventions: Cross-sector representation; novel approaches to problem-solving; cross-regional approaches; complex methods; networking of networks; interdisciplinary analysis; and a shared vision. The chapter then discusses the nexus of partnerships such as Open AIR to sustainable development, and reflects on policy ramifications, practical lessons, and limitations of the cross-regional research partnership model applicable to development PPPs.","PeriodicalId":214968,"journal":{"name":"Applied & Practicing Anthropology eJournal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134440588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For many years, the jurisprudence of the ECtHR has classified administrative, including competition law enforcement as a quasi-criminal process during which human rights shall be respected to a certain extent. This paper strives to explain the evolution of competition law enforcement in Hungary, with procedural safeguards protecting undertakings having come close to the level of protection provided under criminal law. Of the numerous human rights relevant in competition law enforcement the paper will focus on institutional check-and-balances, and the appropriate level of judicial review. The thoroughness of the judicial review of administrative decisions resulting in fines is critical to the analysis of whether the traditional continental European structure of administrative law enforcement is in conformity with the principles of the ECHR. The narrow interpretation of the prohibition of judicial re-evaluation and judicial deference to competition authorities exhibiting significant expert knowledge is of central importance in this debate.","PeriodicalId":214968,"journal":{"name":"Applied & Practicing Anthropology eJournal","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130302145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ironically, as cryptocurrencies reached collective valuations of hundreds of billions of dollars the Bitcoin project failed in its original purpose as an alternative currency governed by code rather than trust. Not only has Bitcoin not become a popular means of global peer-to-peer transactions but the much vaulted purity of algorithmic governance is heavily entangled in social relations. This article reviews blockchain’s computer architectures, its connections to materiality and space and the complexity of its established practices. This analysis shows that rather than occupying an algorithmic place apart, blockchain contains multiple and conflicting agencies and is messily embedded in the code/space of materiality. Nevertheless the faith in the superiority of algorithmic governance has injected a powerful discourse in economies that has proven more important and disruptive than the actual practices of Bitcoin or blockchain.","PeriodicalId":214968,"journal":{"name":"Applied & Practicing Anthropology eJournal","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132531747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The systematic brutality against Christians and Yazidis is unparallel, as ISIS battles to exterminate any trace of non-Muslim groups from Syria and Iraq. \u0000Pope Francis brought ISIS atrocities onto the world stage and called it genocide, as did U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. While the United Nations acknowledged genocide against the Yazidis, the U.N. erred when it failed to distinguish the violence against Christians as genocide, as well. \u0000ISIS forces are on the decline, but accountability for their crimes is inconclusive. Iraq and Syria are not members of the International Criminal Court, which means ISIS fighters are unlikely to be subject to jurisdiction of any ICC proceeding. While the number of nations enacting trafficking statutes continues to increase, the laws are virtually powerless unless ISIS criminals are inside the borders of the country. The only plausible avenue lies in the U.N. Security Council resolution to investigate ISIS war crimes in Iraq.
