Frequently Asked Questions - Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) | Human... - 0 views

shared by Mr. Reidy on 17 Feb 15 - No Cached

Generally countries in the low human development group also tend to have higher inequality and thus larger losses in human development due to inequality, while countries in the very high group experience the least inequality in human development. The East Asia and the Pacific Region performs well on the IHDI, particularly in access to healthcare and education, and former socialist countries in Europe and Central Asia have relatively egalitarian distributions across all three dimensions.

The IHDI will be equal to the HDI when there is no inequality, but falls below the HDI as inequality rises. The difference between the HDI and IHDI, expressed as a percentage of the HDI, indicates the loss in human development due to inequality.

IS the US in favor of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ? - 1 views

shared by Mr. Reidy on 02 Feb 15 - Cached

The United States objected to the provisions of Part XI of the Convention on several grounds, arguing that the treaty was unfavorable to American economic and security interests. Due to Part XI, the United States refused to ratify the UNCLOS, although it expressed agreement with the remaining provisions of the Convention. From 1983 to 1990, the United States accepted all but Part XI as customary international law, while attempting to establish an alternative regime for exploitation of the minerals of the deep seabed.

Who wants to see the Great Wall of China? - 0 views

shared by Mr. Reidy on 02 Feb 15 - No Cached

Mr. Reidy on 02 Feb 15

Perhaps the most recognizable symbol of China and its long and vivid history, the Great Wall of China actually consists of numerous walls and fortifications, many running parallel to each other. Originally conceived by Emperor Qin Shi Huang (c. 259-210 B.C.) in the third century B.C. as a means of preventing incursions from barbarian nomads into the Chinese Empire, the wall is one of the most extensive construction projects ever completed. The best-known and best-preserved section of the Great Wall was built in the 14th through 17th centuries A.D., during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). Though the Great Wall never effectively prevented invaders from entering China, it came to function more as a psychological barrier between Chinese civilization and the world, and remains a powerful symbol of the country's enduring strength.

Why is Corruption More Prominent in Some Countries Than Others? - 0 views

www.economonitor.com/...-in-some-countries-than-others

shared by Mr. Reidy on 27 Jan 15 - No Cached

people are more corrupt when they face incentives that reward corrupt actions. Government officials are more corrupt if they are empowered to provide benefits to private agents who would not otherwise qualify for them, or if they are able to exempt private agents from obligations for which they would otherwise be responsible. Intrusive governments are those that give government officials extensive power over potentially profitable private transactions.
