2013 | 104 Pages | ISBN: 1443865451 | PDF | 1 MB
Elite leaderships of Iran, Iraq and the US operate within a male-centric system of international relations. Iran and Iraq have been accused of suffering from a ‘democracy deficit’ but little attention is paid to how external states – often in the name of women’s liberation – inflict collective punishments that severely restrict the political and economic participation of women in the Middle East. This book, written from the perspective of feminist international relations, demonstrates women’s joint efforts to confront competing sections and shifting alliances of the international patriarchy. Authored by women with roots in the Middle East and the West, the chapters in this book give examples of resistance ranging from the Iranian March 8 Women’s Organization, to a legal challenge led by feminist activists to the seemingly monolithic power of the UN Security Council.

"The chassis system faces numerous challenges." – with these words, Professor Dr. Peter E. Pfeffer, Munich University of Applied Sciences, has opened chassis.tech plus 2023. These include automated driving, connectivity and, as a particularly major challenge, sustainability, said the symposium’s scientific director. More than 400 participants from 20 countries gathered for the 14th International Munich Chassis Symposium. Key topics at chassis.tech plus 2023 included customized and innovative chassis, integrated chassis systems, smart steering, modern braking systems and reliable wheel-tire components. The second day of the event was concluded by keynotes from Thomas Sprengel (Porsche Engineering Services) on "Chassis development in China – overview and trends" and from Victor Underberg (Lamborghini) on "Lamborghini sports cars: evolution from ICE to PHEV". The 14th International Munich Chassis Symposium has taken place as a hybrid event on June 20 and 21, 2023 – in Munich and with a parallel livestream. Participants were able to use the four specialist sections to exchange information on the latest developments relating to chassis, steering, brakes, tires and wheels.

With Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), you’ll be able to invest in properties you never thought you could own. REITs derive income from top-notch properties around the world across various industries so buying into a REIT makes you an indirect landlord of their properties. If the REIT soars, you soar — and you don’t have to be a millionaire to invest and to sweeten the deal, most REITs enjoy tax-free income. But to invest, you’ve got to know which REIT to pick. This book will equip you with the tools to evaluate any REIT you come across and simultaneously guide you through the major global markets. To seal the deal, the book will also reveal true stories from the investing world, so you can learn from the best and avoid the pitfalls.
