The controversial assumption that underlies tax amnesties is that, at least in some situations, it is preferable to sacrifice the penalties for past non-compliance (and perhaps even the tax owing itself) in exchange for improved compliance in the future. Some commentators argue that tax amnesties actually undermine future compliance, because some taxpayers may be encouraged to engage in non-compliance in anticipation of future tax amnesty. Consequently, tax amnesties must be designed and implemented cautiously from a public policy perspective. The scope of this highly relevant book is impressive. It covers the experience with tax amnesties of a variety of countries, deals with the constitutionality, morality, and economic effects of tax amnesties, and discusses the compatibility of tax amnesties with international agreements, in particular, the Treaty of the European Community. As the renowned international tax expert Brian Arnold L71observes in the work s foreword: The book is an important contribution to the literature on tax amnesties, as there is no comparable source dealing with the topic . . . It is timely because the elimination of bank secrecy and the proliferation of Tax Information Exchange Agreements with tax havens have led several countries to adopt tax amnesty programs."

Indigenous Politics and the World Ecological Crisis
The Power of the Talking Stick makes the case that, reaching back to the beginning of the nation-state and all through the current period of corporate-led globalisation, our governments and social institutions have been engaged in activities that will ultimately extinguish the world's ecological life support systems. This book offers an alternative, listening to indigenous leaders and others whose voices often go unheard in the din of contemporary culture. Sharon Ridgeway and Peter Jacques offer a stark warning, but their insights are firmly grounded in traditional knowledge and provide a way to see past the politics and rescue the earth. An important resource for climate activists, students and academics.
PREFACE LESSONS IN LISTENING The Mi«kmaw people of contemporary
Nova Scotia, Canada, have a tradition of using a ®talking stick, ̄ and this tool is
used to ensure that anyone who has something to say is given the space and
deference to do so. In American Indian Quarterly, Laura Donaldson describes it
this way: Our Mi«kmaw ancestors used the Talking Stick to guarantee that
everyone who wanted to speak would have a chance to be heard and that they
would be allowed ...
Investment promotion agencies (IPAs) exist in almost all countries around the world, but there has been no global attempt to determine whether they have been able to significantly influence the investor's decision to locate in one country rather than another. 'The Effectiveness of Promotion Agencies at Attracting Foreign Direct Investment' is the first empirical study of the effectiveness of these agencies in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI).This study finds that promotion is unambiguously associated with greater FDI flows. The effectiveness of promotion, however, depends on: the quality of the investment climate, market size the level of development of the country the IPA's budget and type of activities it carries out communication with the highest level of policymakers and support from the private sector. An important resource, 'The Effectiveness of Promotion Agencies at Attracting Foreign Direct Investment' provides many lessons about how to carry out effective investment promotion.

Cet ouvrage, divisé en quatre parties, retrace l'évolution des normes comptables jusqu'à nos jours et donne des informations sur les domaines pour lesquels d'importants changements sont en cours. Il cible trois objectifs: recenser de façon méthodique les normes régissant la présentation de l'information financière; explorer le cadre théorique sous-jacent qui conduit à l'élaboration de ces normes; faire l'évaluation critique des fondements théoriques des normes comptables. La première partie du volume constitue une brève incursion dans l'histoire de la comptabilité et présente les progrès accomplis au XXe siècle, dont l'évolution de la pensée et de la recherche universitaire sur la valeur informative de la comptabilité ainsi que les récents développements en matière d'élaboration et d'internationalisation des normes comptables. La deuxième partie fait état des normes comptables actuelles. La troisième partie présente des pistes pour l'obtention d'un meilleur cadre conceptuel de la comptabilité financière. Enfin, la quatrième partie traite des méthodes de comptabilisation des organismes à but non lucratif et des gouvernements.
