Impôts écologiques,l'exemple des taxes CO2
Les taxes environnementales peuvent faire mieux qu'encourager les pollueurs à tenir compte des conséquences de leurs actions. Elles permettent de répondre simultanément à la détérioration des finances publiques et à la dégradation de l'environnement. Ce livre décrit et analyse la mise en place de véritables " impôts écologiques " : les critères théoriques, les principaux impacts, le contexte socio-politique, les conditions légales et les règles d'application. Il passe également en revue différentes expériences internationales. S'appuyant sur les critères ainsi développés, le livre évalue le projet de taxe CO2 du Conseil fédéral, montrant notamment que les qualités incitatives de la taxe sont fortement diluées par le régime spécial pour les grands consommateurs et que les taux des autres impôts frappant les énergies fossiles devraient être relevés. Un certain nombre d'amendements au projet sont proposés, qui pourraient accroître son efficacité et son acceptabilité politique. Ce livre réserve une place importante à la présentation des concepts de base de l'économie et aux références bibliographiques, s'adressant ainsi à un large public de professeurs, d'étudiants et de chercheurs en économie, en écologie et en sciences politiques, ainsi qu'aux milieux politiques et à toute personne intéressée par le débat autour des taxes environnementales.

Modern Chinese Literary Thought,Writings on Literature, 1893-1945
This volume presents a broad range of writings on modern Chinese literature. Of the fifty-five essays included, forty-seven are translated here for the first time, including two essays by Lu Xun. In addition, the editor has provided an extensive general introduction and shorter introductions to the five parts of the book, historical background, a synthesis of current scholarship on modern views of Chinese literature, and an original thesis on the complex formation of Chinese literary modernity. The collection reflects both the mainstream Marxist interpretation of the literary values of modern China and the marginalized views proscribed, at one time or another, by the leftist canon. It offers a full spectrum of modern Chinese perceptions of fundamental literary issues.

Economic Geography and Public Policy,
Research on the spatial aspects of economic activity has flourished over the past decade due to the emergence of new theory, new data, and an intense interest on the part of policymakers, especially in Europe but increasingly in North America and elsewhere as well. However, these efforts--collectively known as the "new economic geography"--have devoted little attention to the policy implications of the new theory. Economic Geography and Public Policy fills the gap by illustrating many new policy insights economic geography models can offer to the realm of theoretical policy analysis. Focusing primarily on trade policy, tax policy, and regional policy, Richard Baldwin and coauthors show how these models can be used to make sense of real-world situations. The book not only provides much fresh analysis but also synthesizes insights from the existing literature. The authors begin by presenting and analyzing the widest range of new economic geography models to date. From there they proceed to examine previously unaddressed welfare and policy issues including, in separate sections, trade policy (unilateral, reciprocal, and preferential), tax policy (agglomeration with taxes and public goods, tax competition and agglomeration), and regional policy (infrastructure policies and the political economy of regional subsidies). A well-organized, engaging narrative that progresses smoothly from fundamentals to more complex material, Economic Geography and Public Policy is essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and policymakers seeking new approaches to spatial policy issues.

The Migration of Constitutional Ideas,
The migration of constitutional ideas across jurisdictions is one of the central features of contemporary constitutional practice. The increasing use of comparative jurisprudence in interpreting constitutions is one example of this. In this 2007 book, leading figures in the study of comparative constitutionalism and comparative constitutional politics from North America, Europe and Australia discuss the dynamic processes whereby constitutional systems influence each other. They explore basic methodological questions which have thus far received little attention, and examine the complex relationship between national and supranational constitutionalism - an issue of considerable contemporary interest in Europe. The migration of constitutional ideas is discussed from a variety of methodological perspectives - comparative law, comparative politics, and cultural studies of law - and contributors draw on case-studies from a wide variety of jurisdictions: Australia, Hungary, India, South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada.

Principles of Artificial Intelligence,
Previous treatments of Artificial Intelligence (AI) divide the subject into its major areas of application, namely, natural language processing, automatic programming, robotics, machine vision, automatic theorem proving, intelligent data retrieval systems, etc. The major difficulty with this approach is that these application areas are now so extensive, that each could, at best, be only superficially treated in a book of this length. Instead, I have attempted here to describe fundamental AI ideas that underlie many of these applications. My organization of these ideas is not, then, based on the subject matter of their application, but is, instead, based on general computational concepts involving the kinds of data structures used, the types of operations performed on these data struc tures, and the properties of con'trol strategies used by AI systems. I stress, in particular, the important roles played in AI by generalized production systems and the predicate calculus. The notes on which the book is based evolved in courses and seminars at Stanford University and at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Although certain topics treated in my previous book, Problem solving Methods in Artificial Intelligence, are covered here as well, this book contains many additional topics such as rule-based systems, robot problem-solving systems, and structured-object representations.

Digital Signal Processing Using MATLAB,
In this supplementary text, MATLAB is used as a computing tool to explore traditional DSP topics and solve problems to gain insight. This greatly expands the range and complexity of problems that students can effectively study in the course. Since DSP applications are primarily algorithms implemented on a DSP processor or software, a fair amount of programming is required. Using interactive software such as MATLAB makes it possible to place more emphasis on learning new and difficult concepts than on programming algorithms. Interesting practical examples are discussed and useful problems are explored. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

Turbulent peace,the challenges of managing international conflict
Please see the new, replacement volume Leashing the Dogs of War . Like its predecessor,Managing Global Chaos,this comprehensive volume explores the sources of contemporary conflict and the vast array of possible responses to it. The authors'50 of the most influential and innovative analysts of international affairs'present multiple perspectives on how best to prevent, manage, or resolve conflicts around the world. In the five years since Managing Global Chaoswas published, the geopolitical landscape has changed in significant ways and we have learned important lessons. Turbulent Peaceunderlines the volatility and vulnerability of states and peoples in a world that is both increasingly interconnected and ever more differentiated and decentralized in its political and social structures. Four new themes emerge from Turbulent Peace:the return of geopolitics; the recognition that different societies require different peacemaking strategies; the pull and tug between conflict management and post-conflict governance issues, such as democratization; and the understanding that creating a sustainable peace is as difficult as making peace in the first place. Although this volume features many of the contributors to Managing Global Chaos(in most cases with updated and revised chapters), almost 70 percent of the contributors are new. The editors commissioned the new essays to address emergent themes in conflict analysis and management, to offer a wide range of viewpoints in contentious areas, and to respond to feedback from readers and the needs of educators. The result is a volume of unparalleled breadth and depth, an invaluable resource for teachers and students no less than for practitioners and policymakers.
